Found this poor LS on ebay and could not help but cringe. Probably a nice car (considering the miles as well) if put back to original, however those exhausts and that 'thing' in the back seats has ruined it. Thrashed and drifted a few times I am sure. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WHITE-LEXUS-LS400-SLAMMED-VIP-DRIFT-REAL-NICE-GENUINE-CAR-/161871123080?hash=item25b0455288:g:sO0AAOSwHnFVx5xO

My brother who stays in California has just bought a Lexus LX470. I said 'whats that' obviously. Turns out the Toyota Amazon which was sold here in the UK and in the US was altered with Lexus badges and styling for the US market. Honestly, looks pretty smart to me and it got me thinking. Why not bring a big LX over here to compete with Range Rovers etc? Anyway, heres a pic:

Oh, one more thing that has got me thinking. I assume that because the mileage part of the speed is digital then the mileage would appear higher as it will still be showing Km's and miles? Can this be put back safely or is it best leaving the whole thing untouched? Thanks again

Hello folks, just moved over to the RX section of the site from the LS side (somehow this seems weird saying that). Anyway, I have my eye on a 1999 RX300 import which has only done 85k and is going for a decent price by the looks of it. The first question that came to mind was the speedo. It looks like there are KPH markings but no MPH markings from the pictures. Can this be rectified? and at a relatively low cost? I noticed the fog light is there and it has been registered officially now in the UK but this did get me thinking about the speedo (dont like reading KPH figures as I have no idea what any KPH figure is in MPH and vice versa). Any help on any potential problems with these cars as well would help and what to look for. I do plan on going to see it this weekend. Many thanks D.T.

Dont worry about not buying one a few years ago... just think how much you have saved buying it now! Graphics actually look quite good in that shade against the cream. I actually thought of getting some for mine.

Sorry if this has been shared before but thought it might be good for new owners or potential owners to see.

Your paint colour may be Regency Green metallic. Not heard of a jolt going from p into d before. How many miles has the car done? Seat height should be decent for most 6ft plus guys but if your 7ft then I would see that being an issue perhaps. The best upgrade may be a newer set of wheels such as the DHP 17" model which does look more modern and fills out the arches. Enjoy the car.

Well, not my cup of tea on an LS but thought it was worth sharing none the less... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/lexus-LS400-dual-side-exit-custom-exhaust-/331684932515?hash=item4d39f66ba3:g:MzEAAOSw~bFWI8B8

I ran winter tyres on a Saab of mine a few years back. Best decision ever. Loved them enough to use them throughout the summer as the grip from them was so good. Sadly, they didnt last as long.

Just been to Tesco. Get to checkout. 'Did you hear the snow is on the way?' asks the lady at the till. 'No, I did not' I replied. Get to kiosk to get the weekly lotto and smokes. 'Its all change for next week?/!' she said. 'Whats that' I replied. 'Snow's on the way' she said. Get to petrol station, filled up the tank and before I was even at the desk I heard the guy behind the counter say 'snow shovel' when talking to the woman in front. Dam. Should have used the pay at pump. Here we go again.

Thats five days past now and still no call, e-mail, smoke signal, nothing.

Again, each to there own,

Yes thats the size Fred. It will look a lot better once there fitted on as I feel cars with a small number plate on the back and a lot of room sometimes look a little odd. I think you have a great car Fred and at that mileage it should serve you well. I do remember the car being for sale on ebay and it was rather tempting. All the best.

Congrats on your new purchase. Looks very smart from what I can see. I don't mean to burst your bubble but it looks like you have a Mk3 model. Original plate size is a 6.5" rear. Most ebay plate sellers can do this for you for around £25 a set. Enjoy your new car.

Now that is a special car. Looks the business.
