There you go

First time I've seen this mentioned. Does the valve open automatically because it's disconnected? Or how do you make sure it's open?

Lovely colour, keep up the good work

Google

I'm going to spray my car, so thought I'd kit it also.

Problem is, I can't find anywhere that does a decent kit for reasonable money. Any ideas?

I don't want mad lines or big chins or vents, as close to trd as possible. Is the states the best option? If So, how does the import/import dodge work?

Please help

What he says... U have to do the lock bolts ... Don't worry it fits straight back.

Even though the bolts are awkward, make sure u tighten them right up again because your in car boot lever won't work if you don't

P.s there are nice LED units on eBay to replace them with, if there is dirt inside your units as I know the standard aren't too well sealed

Absolutely stunning! You have me convinced to go down the paint job route now!

Supra boxes are stupid money

Does the is200 box fit it though? I wouldn't be drifting and am interested in this conversion too

I'm tempted to paint the whole thing myself if I can get a hold of a nice subtle kit for it

Also... R u on rms or Jon44?

Is urs the burnt orange colour like the one above I did the lights on?? If so I think there was someone breaking that colour on Derry buy sell swap cars on Facebook if ur stuck

Well, yesterday I managed to replace the damaged studs and clean the inside of the wheels, turns out there was 5 wheel studs I wasn't happy with... And I put all my new wheel nuts on.

Also cleaned the seats and put my new covers on!

Once I get a break in the weather I'll go to town on the discs and some more detailing

My problem is resisting the urge to turn traction control off and clutch kicking roundabouts in 2nd!

Thanks Hoodrich!

Not much development over the past wee while, 2 new front tyres and 2 ruined wheel studs that the last owner never informed me about, so in the next few days I will be doing a few things

1) into the garage, wet vac seats, put heater through window

2) remove wheels and superclean inside

3) remove discs and paint drum part and calipers

4) change any studs

5) put new wheel nuts on

6) put new seat covers on

7 ) have a cup of tea

Few pics of the beading from 2 polishes and 2 waxes ( as previously unpolished for a long time)

And one of @underbro26 is200 sport getting the headlight treatment from megs headlight lenses repair

Car will still be getting buffed and stone chips sorted soon as I'm still not quite happy with the finish!

Is Lexus paint generally pretty thick or thin?

Thanks guys!

Are people not too friendly on here ?

Can you explain that process for the bulb swap please and why, we're about to change the bulbs / polish the headlights on a friend's lex.

Nice! Grey needs the wheels kept silver imo. I love that colour in them

Hello!

From the north coast or Northern Ireland!

These cars are getting more popular over here now what with the Lsd and lack of sierras lol.

Nice site! I hope I learn a lot!

Mine is an 01 se model, but seems to have a clatter of sport goodies which I can't distinguish what it might have come with and what someone has added...

Super lowwwz

Nice wheels

Tinted glass

Darker front and rear lights

Sport grille

Drilled and grooved discs

Lsd

Traction and snow

Lip spoiler

Electric seats

Uprated ( I think) speakers

Decat exhaust

Things to do:

Buff it senseless

Replace tank ( over half way makes it weep from seam above prop)

Replace a few unhappy looking studs on hubs

Secure exhaust better/change back box

Replace squeaky steering joint

Waxoil

Pic as I got it

I've only had it a week, but what one done so far is remove the rs(ford part) badge that was beside the 200 part, remove the 200 and the Lexus badge, remove the sticker on back window, remove the ignorant reversing camera, tidy up the way the homemade induction kit was connected, remove the old airbox ducting from under bonnet, remove the yellow film on fogs and red on rear lights, fit a CD player, replace interior bulbs and gave it a good tight clean! oh and knock the wiper down a bit so it sits neat!

And as it sits now

Any comments or advice greatly appreciated!

Anyone know where does a tidy hydro handbrake for one?
