  1. I've just gone and reversed into something, ahem, breaking my RHS smoked chrome cluster. :tsktsk: My two options are perspex replacement, or entire new rear light cluster. Anyone know where I can get one for a decent price - Japarts have quoted me abotu £75 inc vat for the shell (without bulbs etc) Kavey (yes I know i've not been around for years :P)
  2. thought the one in my car came out?
  3. Southern convoy for me :) Kavey - K8VEY - Silver Altezza with Bling Wheels
  4. I shouldn't read posts like this. It'll get me all flustered and stuff especially after I abandoned getting the s/c a while back.
  5. I think Dave's saying it will fit, but you gotta dis- and re-connect an A/C pipe. If I'm right and that means re-gassing the A/C - that's not really an issue - it need's doing anyway... I haven't re-gassed in 4 years (don't use it much) but this summer's been hard on it, and it's been on quite a bit. And the eggy smell is telling me to sort the filter too...
  6. Nice one Dave. I'm still not sure if it will fit an RS200, but I think it probably will. I'm willing to come visit you for a fitting if that's possible, to save messing about, and if it fits, take it there and then? Have we got a cost yet? Let me know :)
  7. Yeah I'm interested too, depending on make, quietness etc.. what's the ride height adjustment range as a matter of interest - is it 0-70mm?
  8. If it fits a SC'd IS200, i'd imagine it should fit over the 4 Cyl NA engine.... I'm happy to test :)
  9. Me too if it fits Altezza :D I've emailed
  10. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...howtopic=14589& :winky:
  11. That's hardly a fair comparison, with a 4WD turbo'd scooby vs a 2WD NA Altezza.... Given my 2WD NA Altezza is pushing around 250BHP now, I'm sure it'd give good competition to any car in a similar class... even Fargo's NOS'd up IS300 :winky: The boy got a reprieve this weekend at Santa Pod when the rain came..... next time sonny, next time.... ;)
  12. The stock head unit has no line level inputs or outputs. You could hack the speaker out lines from the stereo (I don't think a 2000 model would have had a separate amp) and use some funky electronics to attenuate the signal down to line-level RCA sockets, but then you entering a whole new ball game of aggro, and are likely to get noise and other sound artefacts ;)
  13. Thanks guys.. such a damn shame when stuff like this happens.... reminds you of the ugly side of society, Anyone have any advice on products to try to have a go myself before breaking the bank on a respray?
  14. Thursday I had my car's FCON retuned at TDi (great job Mark), only to notice that somebody had keyed my Tezz, all the way along the side from the rear to the front. :shutit: After four years of happy Altezza ownership, this is the first time this has happened, and it's very upsetting. Went to chipsaway and they quoted me around £600-700 +VAT for respraying the 3 worst panels, and polishing out the drivers door which escaped with a hairline. Is there any other wisdom you lot can offer regarding helping sort this out. Luckily my car is silver so it doesn't glare out too badly, but you can definately see it. Any advice on some things I can try myself? Any good scratch repair kits out there? Why do people have to be so :tsktsk: mean? A few months ago somebody stole my valve-caps - maybe it was the same person/kids as this time I put locking ones on, which might have aggravated them. I think it happened outside my flat, so my next purchase will be a wireless webcam to monitor it from my lounge.... Asam KV
  15. Helloooo I'm thinking about this. Do I need tix, or can I just turn up etc? What time are people getting there and do we have pitch?
  16. I'm looking into this exact same thing - it might fit in by removing the inner liner of the dash tray, i.e. so all you put in there is the screen, but again it might not fit due to the surround size of the screen itself - the 7" screen would fit on it's own most likely. In this respect the dash-tray might need some hacking...
  17. You could get a nice aftermarket head unit that plays MP3s off CDs.... MiniDisc too! ;) http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...howtopic=14589&
  18. Hey Paul How are you finding the touchscreen for PC control? I believe it's the same as the lilliput one - http://www.allcam.biz/products/lilliputtv.html Although the cartft one is black and better :) I'm looking at the same screen for my secret squirrely carputer thingamibob, but I want to mount it in my dash tray somehow, even if I have to strip it and fold it down. When u next out mate - be good to catch up. Asam
  19. Where are you going to mount the screen Paul?
  20. Yes, I've been the lesser-spotted Kavemobile of late. I remember seeing you then (tho I have to admit as you came up my rear, flashing yer lights (ooer)) I thought you were Bazza Still don't have too much time to post, but work has settled a bit, and I'm in the country for a while now :)
  21. With that gorgeous thing that was on the counter at TDI? Look forward to it Kavey. Just part of the story my friend ;) Nice to see your ride again on the A3 a few months ago btw - looked damn sweeeet :D
  22. I'm back.... I'll be there next month, with secret squirrelling revealed ;)
  23. me please Plat Ice 1CO (yes i'm back... and lurking)
  24. If the Oil Cap fits my Altezza I'll 'ave one
