@boxbrownie pointless extra weight in my eyes, a few friends do the same

But this has happened to me before, not midnight but close, I pumped it up and Made it home, I don't think this would had been possible with budget tyres, but I can see your point

That's good to know

Hi all,

How many people on here carry a spare tyre and jack?

I haven't done in any if the four cars Ive owned over the years as i see it unnecessary now days with the technology in tyres, if you buy quality tyres to begin with your less likely to get blow outs and catastrophic failures, don't get me wrong iv had a few punctures but they have all been repairable if not I replace the tyre, worst puncture I had needed to be pumped up every 20 minutes before going completey flat, but there's always a garage within that distance around my area to sort you out.

What are your views?

Have you got a build thread or any pics

Just the answer I was after, thank you

gains from what im reading

Hello All,

is any body running gmax lowering springs or any other brand of spring that lowers by (40mm)

if so, can i please have you honest opinion on comfort after fitment and ride heigh and if you car actually dropped 40mm

here are the ones im looking to buy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GMAX-Lexus-IS200-1999-2005-Car-Lowering-Spring-Kit-40mm-/161766432550?hash=item25aa07df26:g:ra4AAOSw~gRVqQOq

any pics would be great.

Thanks

phillips bulbs are great, been using them for years. isnt it a legal requirement that states hids are only legal if there washer jets as well?

yer just seen that set, im not paying that for wheels!! gunna cost more than the car haha

this is how i would like my car to sit when i eventually get it :) if not a little lower, but on lowering springs this is probably the safe limit.

taken from tezza world,

40mm tein lowering springs and standard shocks

did the overnight disconnect work mate?

do lexus radios haves codes? dont want to disconnect the Battery an then find out i cant use the radio because the car didnt come with a radio code

does look tidy

There's a vid on YouTube, I'l try and find it, alot of the yanks do it to get rid if the flat spot when they run forced induction, helps a bit with na setup as well

Honda an ep3 gearbox, from factory has to deal with 200bhp, people there cars well past 600bhp and are fine, the clutch and fly is the only thing that tends to be changed.

They still should provided a manual v8 in the is, would of been a good seller I recon

Are these hard to come across?

Wouldn't mind a pair me self

Expensive and probably not worth it unless your going to make use of it, daily driver.....pointless in my eyes, track weapon... Then get the spanners out haha

The top pic, so that's with the slight gap you mentioned before?, did you have any issues on speed ramps?

Check earth's as well, sometimes this causes issues, but as said above, try the Battery, you could always run an multimeter across it and see what Volts it's chucking out

What wheels are they?

Alot of people delete the acis with good results, gunna do mine as well and hope to achieve a more responsive car in low end rev range

Think Il stick to 40mm then, can't justify buying coillies as i don't plan on keeping the car for more than a few years, unless I find a second hand pair

All that power? How weak are lexus gearboxes not being able to handle 280bhp haha
