It's finding them at a reasonable price first. Trouble is they are popular for Supra, Soarer owners too as a straight swap to get wide rears. I think it's a huge shame how mk1 sports get broken and the wheels sold on. Been to Lexus today. They are putting the claim in, but she assessed the thickness of the paint and thinks it's been painted before, 4 weeks till I hear but looks unlikely I'll get it painted for free.

She has TPMS, I thought it was just a sensor on the tyre valve, no good on Borbets? They're a good looking wheel, when I was a teen and the mk1 sport first came out I wanted one badly. That's what I was looking for until discovered the mk3. Going to grovel to Lexus tomorrow on the bonnet issue.

Thanks she's a stunner. Ironically, just seen a 450h in the carpark with matching colour!.

I have the idea in the back of my mind, to colour code the wheels with the car, then the diamond cut face to set it all off. Haven't really got the budget now anyway, so future plans.

Nice! I'd love to get diamond cut, I know they tarnish easy, so was thinking about a clear powder coating instead of lacquer if possible. Industrial finish.

Flipping hard to find tho, expensive when available.

Hi fancy set of Borbet 18" staggered rims from the mk1 GS300 sport to put on my mk3, has anyone tried this? et45 vs et50? Will 10" width fit in the rear arches? Thanks in advance

Any idea about transferring phone Book? 2005 mk3, Bluetooth connected fine for calls, no idea how to sync the phone book. I have a Sony Z5 premium. ta

I have a big mile gs300, I would say the history is the key, they are very well made but lack of care will soon reduce it's life. Two and a half days and I'm in love with mine, couldn't recommend enough, averaging about 34 mpg but I've not had a heavy foot. Don't think it'll match those diesels you've had before for economy, but you'll save in long term from not having to buy DPFs, DMFs, turbos and other expensive bits. can only list what I've researched as 'common problems'. shock absorbers seized calipers rusty exhausts TPMS sensors Thats about all I've found out.

Can you get others? Purely for research purposes of course...

To do list: boot spoiler possibly LE skirts android integration bonnet chips mk1 sport wheels, 10" rears diamond cut (anyone tried this on a mk3?)

Had a bit of a polishing session today, looking shiny! worked out how to use the cruise control, just the dodgy passenger door release left to fix. Love this motor..

Cheers. yeah, just so much car for the money. Plenty of duffers out there too, chose this because of the history, plus as it's been kept on expensive tyres all it's life, I think that shows owners haven't skimped on maintenance.

This is her. Not my pics I admit, these were the auto trader jobbies. CD player packed up straight away, but using a costa coffee club card and a post from this forum, managed to fix it last night. Just need to fix the cruise control now. also, it's about 6 weeks from it's 12th birthday, so am going to try out the anti perforation warranty - again seen on forum - to get the chipped and slightly rusty cornered bonnet sorted 🙂

Greetings all. I'm new to Lexus, used to have Toyotas for years, was on TOC when I was driving Carinas back in the day! lost my way for a while, had Ford then Mazda, both uninspiring. No Toyotas at the moment really float my boat, wanted luxury on a small budget, considered a Honda Legend, but settled on a GS300. Decided that a 450h was too technical for me to work on and that I'd lose my licence with a 430, so with my sensible hat on I found a 300 for a bargain £3000. She's got 155k on the clock, good history, good condition green paint that seems to be quite rare, grey leather and a sunroof. such a Lovely cruising car, why have I not had a Lexus before!!!
