Nice work, glad your keeping the car in top shape.

Thanks.Lee.

Lovely looking car, stunning in black to, wheels really do look nice and compliment the body colour.

Thanks.Lee.

Took the car for an MOT this morning, all good thankfully, it passed with no problems.

Thanks.Lee.

Nice work Rob, expensive but well worth it.As you say it's like night and day the difference.I'm not to far away from you,nice to see a fellow Welshman looking after his car, great work.

Thanks.Lee.

Sports pedals now fitted.The car is now for sale on Pistonheads, Gumtree and Ad Trader.

Thanks.Lee.

All that work and your selling , shame mate , to be honest I would rather have the Lexus , you will get bored with the evo , too harsh a ride etc . Bit savage but good luck mate .

Yes the Evo are a bit harsh on the ride quality but I have always said I would get one at some point.My m8 is gonna be foe sale soon and I always liked the look of this particular car.

Wow all that effort to just sell on. Some lucky buyer

I know tell me about it,I have a habbit of doing this with my cars,I don't tend to keep them very long.Yes the new owner will be very lucky as you say,it's all been done now,the car looks and is mechanically so much better since I have owned it,put lots of time and money into gettting it as I wanted and all the mechanics done to.New MOT next week then up for sale.

Thanks.Lee.

Turbosmart Fuel pressure regulator has been fitted,no pics just yet.I'm gonna close going any further with the car now as it will be going up for sale very soon, a friend of mine is selling his evo 6 that I am after,so will be selling the Lexus to buy the Evo.

Thanks.Lee.

Looks the biz mate ,u must be spent up by now lol

Thanks Dave, yes my money is going down fast..lol.

Cheers.Lee.

Yes,looks a lovely car, ride height looks so much better now.

Thanks.Lee.

Had my new Turbosmart adjustable fuel pressure regulator back today.

Thanks.Lee.

Thanks Dave,It's getting there now.

It's gonna be like new lee when your done .looks the biz now mate .

yeah i have to agree, your putting some money and effort into this and it shows keep it up mate

Thanks, yes I'm not to far away for it being finished now.

Cheers.Lee.

Had a really good deal yesterday at ATS Euromaster, I wanted my air con regased as it was non existant, anyway I had the regas and the anti bacterial treatment all for £33, nice and cold now, it's spot on.

Here's a few pics.

I managed to straighten the rear number plate and looking at the rear lights in this pics, they look the same, I'm not sure now if it was just the sun light that made them look different last weekend,I'm still not 100% sure though.

Thanks.Lee.

Just spotted this, The procedure is exactly the same for the is200.

That's great,thanks for confirming this.

Cheers.Lee.

Nice one,I will give it a go,good how to guide fair play.I would imagine the IS200 would be very simular as you say.

Thanks.Lee.

As above I want to remove the rear shelf,has anyone done this and possibly have a guide on how it's done please?

Is it a nightmare job or not to bad?

Thanks.Lee.

Welocome Jay, the car looks lovely.I love the beige interior,spot on.

Any pics of the interior?

Thanks.Lee.

Yes very expensive, at least the problem is solved and as you say they should last for years to come.

Thanks.Lee.

That's looking mint lee well done mate a credit to ya, you've put some hard work into that and it's paid off .

Thanks for your comments Dave,much appreciated.Yes it's getting there now,got a few more things I want to do then it's off for mapping, it's pretty much how I want it then.

Cheers.Lee.

I just replaced all 6 coil packs on my IS200 last week........cost me R7500! :megaangry:

I was advised not to buy aftermarket ones, but instead should get the OEM Denso ones from Lexus themselves....

Must say though, the car feels like a different car after changing these coil packs......Fuel consumption seems to have improved as well....

New ones are very expensive as you say, well the Denso and NGK coils anyway, at least you have got it sorted now and it's running better.

Thanks.Lee.

Does anyone know how I can change the heading to the start of my thread or if not can a moderator change it for me perhaps?

Thanks.Lee.

Finally, my mate fitted the rear plate on the wonk,must have had to many shandys the night before..lol.

Replaced the rear light but once fitted, I have now noticed it's the wrong colour tint to match the other rear light,I'm not happy,gotta find another light now and I don't even know which of the 3 different types it is.

See the difference in the rear lights?

This is the correct light

This is the replacement which is a fair bit lighter.

Thanks.Lee.

Thanks.Lee.

Finally got my car back on Saturday, paint done now, my new original dealership plates and tax disc now fitted and my freshly painted gearknob also fitted.It was a full day yesterday for polishing,waxing and cleaning.

Here's a few pics from yesterday.

More pics shortly.

Thanks.Lee.

Got myself a replacement LSD diff which has been fitted, used Gulf Competion LSD oil and replaced the 2 x 10mm collapsable washers for the drain and top level bungs.

Got myself new original dealer number plates and tax disc made up.

Not much left to do for now, fit number plates, aluminium sport pedals and a few oil breather hoses to fit.

then off to get my windows retinted.Once all this is done, gonna fit a new fuel pressure regulator and it's off for mapping then.

Thanks.Lee.
