If they are over £100 cheaper per set ill get them from costco and get a local shop to fit them. Normal charge is £1 per inch so would be £76. Out of interest how much are they at costco? -

Just reading on the forums in the us. Seems like a guy sued costco after he had an accident and he blamed them for fitting wong size tyres and won the claim. Since then they only fit standard tyres sizes. Guess i just got lucky http://forum.expeditionportal.com/archive/index.php/t-41207.html -

Hi. I had the wider size fitted at costco, he just said to Me did You know they are not standard size and i said yes and that a lot of people are running those sizes. He said ok no problem. Once fitted he said they fit even better than the standard size. -
Not bad for a 5 litre v8
kieron1977 replied to kieron1977's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Hi C.B Yes 65 litre tank but around 12 of those litres are once you hit the reserve mark. I try fill up when my range says around 15 miles left and i only manage to fill around 53 litres until the tank is full. I live sw london And drive into kensington most days so traffic is not great And i average around 19mpg according to the trip computer. I get about 220 per tank (or per 53 litres) if you want to work that out to real world figures. -

This was from calais heading towards loire valley. Mostly toll roads so going around 80mpg And no traffic. My daily drive is into west london so my average is around 19mpg over the 3.5 years i owned the car. -

Yes really pleased with how its all turned out. Tint wise driver and passenger windows have to be able to let 70% light through so you can only get a clear coat on those but its not worth it. Anything behind the driver can be as dark as you like. Most companies have levels from 5% (darkest) 20% 35% And 50%. I think 5% Looks to dark on the outside and it is hard to see out the rear window esp at night with 5%. 20% does make it slightly darker from the inside but im still able to see fine. Cost was £180 for the passenger And rear Windows. Re the calipers i went with porsche Riveria blue, its actually a body colour but when i spoke to the wheel place they found the paint code and was able to reproduce it for the calipers. Think i only saw one other car on Google with that colour so its quite rare which appealed to me. I have posted this on the haywood and scott topic but here is a little clip of the exhaust. -

Was on the m3 yesterday for over an hour at 70mph and no drone at all. When you're just keeping a certain pressure on the gas its Very quiet, id say almost quieter than stock. If you want a x pipe for bhp gains then try it but you don't need it to stop any drone. Get it done the sooner the better, by far the best mod i have done. -

Well just got home from haywood and scott, sound is perfect! Totally transforms the driving experience of the car. For last 3 years never really bothered with manual mode, within 5 minutes switched to manual mode and never had so much fun. Just has this deep aggressive growl to it.. Just wish i had done it sooner.
