Taz_1

My mate works for lexus cardiff, had him to check out the price on these £450 incl. VAT!!! A few years ago these were around the £200 Mk, he says they are now discontinued and there are only a few sets available and that the lateset ones are upgraded and light will not go. But i think they are way too expensive.

Hi, i am looking to buy a hks silent hi-power rear back box for my is300 and wanted to know whether the is200 and is300 are the same fitment? Trouble is a lot of companies dont list anything for the 300. Also wanted to add an induction, any suggestions? Been looking at the AEM short ram. Does any1 know of any issues regarding running this? Also does any1 know of any decent panel filters besides k&n, incase i dont go for an induction. Thanks guys.

Hi, can anybody tell me where i may be able to pick up some chrome LEXUS caliper decals please.

Hi guys, been heavy on the brakes the last few weeks and i think i need new brakes. Priced up a brake conversion from Hi-spec (6-pot) and its £1784 + VAt (front only), obviously supplies as a kit but its a bit too much for me at the moment. So, its gonna have to be just pads and discs, i tried EBC on my altezza but didnt like em, so was thinking of going for black diamond, has anyone got them on a GS, if so what are they like? Any other good makes out there? (want pads with low dust - to keep bling rims shiny)

Hi, i have the led lamps, my rear spoiler has the led lights so it goes well together, i think they can be changed to led by ordering a set from your dealer cos they were changed on a 2001+. Fit is the same. Nice choice of motor, get some pics up............

Thanks for all the compliments, - ye fancied a bit of a change from all the racey type of cars i have had like RS200, integra DC5, RX8 etc, this has power and has the looks, really like it. Thinking of p/ex it fo a m5??? @ aido ye my mate at osaka got a 300 but its a bit wild with bling gone OTT! The grille is a standard sport apart i had it sprayed in silver and put a black badge on instead. 2 other mods i 4got to mention was:- DC sports battery tie down PIAA twin tone sports horn, sounds very sweet & ****s up other drivers LOL......... oh, and i also have this fuel saver thingy in the fuel line, makers claim it saves fuel, i get around 27 to the gallon combined, dunno if this is good?

Hi guys, not been able to post any pics of my car since i bought it last year, gave it a valet today and thoght it be a good idea to take a few snaps and share it with you LOC members......

well has been a long time since that so couldnt remember, and it was rough guide prices anyway.........

@purvesh, thats not me mate, im taz_1 and thats tazno1, and that guy lives in yorkshire and im in newport? u got the wrong guy. ha ha

@ gord, dont remember selling a genuine is200 bonnet for 350, but i did sell a is200 carbon bonnet for that price in the past. The skirts dont come with any fitting kit, you would have to source your own unfortunately. i am based in newport south wales, near cardiff.

Yes, spoiler is same as in pic but in carbon effect. & no elexes the spoiler is carbon not painted. @ gord, wot parts am i trying to sell for more than lexus? Didnt know lexus sold blitz or copy stuff.

no actually mate i didnt write my car off, just fancied a change and had 2 other cars since. Evo 8 & now got gs430 sport. What spoiler u talkin about? Reserve on skirts are £80

Hi all, as i am not a gold member any longer i cannot post a topic in buy & sell. Basically just wanted to tell you guys that there are a few bits that i dont need that i have put up on ebay. as you say.your not a gold member

its a is200 not rs200, i had a rs200 before - but swapped it for a rx8 and now bought another is200. how much did u pay for the s/c fitted and where from? whats the gear changing like with the auto box? some people say u loose air con if u s/c, is this right?

Hi, i have recently bought a 52 plate is200 A/T with 17K on the clock as a 2nd car. I am looking to supercharge it as it already has a Altezza - 1 off customised body kit and looks very MEAN. So to finish off and make it even more of a BEAST i want to supercharge it. I have considered a GREDDY turbo conversion but dont think its available for auto besides i want to keep the engine bay looking standard and retain some of the plastic covers in place. So, i need to know whether an auto can be s/charged, the good and bad points, what sort of power gains are to be expected and any other info/advice you may feel relevant to this topic. This topic has probably been covered before but i cant seem to find anything Thanks for any feedback.

I have spoken to my local dealer & they dont wanna knw abt it and say if you bought goods from else where why should we change it, spoke to lexus GB and they said to contact the company i bought it from, i e-mailed lexus map-updates and they say they are investigating case and will get back to me regarding result, where did u see tel number on that site, i cant find any numbers, had to go through directory....

thanks for that, much appreciated. if i order the one you have quoted are you sure it will work? also how can i exchange it as that site keeps directing to lexus GB, would i be able to take it into local dealer?

I got a 51 reg gs430 sport, i ordered my disc last week but only got round to put it in today. i used the part number that one of the members had put above to order disc as my car was in garage. when i put my updated disc in it is not reading it and says no gps signal? when i put in my original disc part number in lexus mapupdates it says invalid part number? the part number i have on original disc is 08664-50860 and update one is 86271-24126. Why is it not reading disc? when i put original back in it works. Do i need to calibrate or wait a while to upload??? PLEASE HELP.

MY VERDICT:- To be honest its a complete waste of money and time. They stick over the original mirror shell. the supplied doubled sided tape wouldnt even hold them in place for 2 minutes let alone for good. To fit em they need to be bonded on to be secure. Secondly the wiring is a real pain. If you do it professionally so that you cant see the wire - it will take very long. Not really worth the hassle and like some1 said - its too much of a merc thing! Instad get some ganadors or similar?

YEA??? U get your facts right too :tsktsk: It was him who said it! Only stuff i have sold on here is what came off my car before i sold it, got a problem with that? its only LOC members that benefited from it anyway, so wots the deal?

Just read your comments SCAR-FACE! Actually, - No i never posted to try and make a few bob, so get your facts right before you start. A few ppl on here know i had a kit coming for me from japan but it took so long and i sold the car before it got here, u can check the old forums for the topic! Obviously being the best place to sell it- i posted it up. Not welcome - no problem, STOP ME FROM SELLING IT ON E-BAY!!!

Can anybody tell me why my :tsktsk: post has been removed from the buy and sell forum??? I only advertised my bodykit which i no longer need. i am a GOLD member........

.................. !

u can have it am - just need to figure out a way to rectify mileage etc.

i have the trd cluster in my Rs200 and it looks really good with the digital speed reading and central tacho, good to keep an eye out for red-line.
