Had a good time today. Good to see everyone old and new. Lots of nice cars as well :-) Roll on the next one :-)

I dont think we met. but as you were the only other person with a IS200 yours must of been the black one. was looking at it, nice example you have :)

I think when we came out from eating, you must have went in!! Your car looked good too. All the best in America :-)

Could you put my name down Ian for the meet please :-)

@Lakeey no worries. Hope you're car is better soon :-)

Me and Finn had a good time. It was good to meet everyone and put faces to names. Roll on the next one :-)

Yeah, getting excited now. I'm at Center Parcs just now, so if the weather is bad on Saturday,I'lI be coming in a dirty car :-(

That sounds good. See you there :-)

@Lakeey I'd be up for that. There is a layby about 1 minute after you join the A50 from your junction, if you want to meet there? What time do you fancy? :-)

Looks like I'll be convoying on my own :-( Anyone coming along the A50 from the west?

Love those wheels, almost bought them myself but check your offsets before forking out. Everywhere only seemed to have them in 35mm. By my calcs they were going to be sticking out the arches in an 18x8. I bottled it and went for the ev32 which has a higher offset of 42 and the fronts are pretty much flush with the arches. Can always mod the arches of course...

The websites I'm looking at are saying that there a suitable fit for the car so should be ok

Don't always believe what the websites tell you. You need to find out the exact dimensions of the wheel and the offset. Some websites will tell you that an offset of et35 is ok for an is200...........

The standard 5 spokes are a 50 offset, so i am assuming those will be too. I am running 8 inch wide wheels with a 40 offset, and they sit flush with the edge of the arches :-)

Is anyone else bringing the other half and/or kids? Wife doesnt want to be the only woman there and 7yr old would get bored on her own?

Asking because wife says she'll stop at home otherwise.

I'm bringing my 7 year old son. The last meet i took him to, he went home and said "Mummy, Daddy needs to buy a big exhaust". I'm still working on that one, so that's why I'm bringing him :-)

According to the Facebook IS200 group there's another 9 coming but 3 of those are myself, Ben IS and Stuart Aspey :)

And me

I'll be doing all the 8s in a couple of months :)

Here's and update of my baby.

I'm liking those white wheels. I might dig out my gloss black ones from the shed and breathe new life into them :D

Looking good Stuart :-)

Hopefully i'll be coming to this one :-)

When i had mine done, i dropped my car off around 0800 and picked it up again at 1600. If you go on their website and request a quote, they will email you a quote straight away. Every couple of months they will email you again with an offer. I think i got 25% off on mine.

I've used the Manchester branch before and was very impressed with the finish (gloss black).

Nice one Johny. Yeah, get some photos up when you've got them on :) . What is next on your modification list? :winky:

and another:-

Jonny, looking at the pics you might just be ok running 235s at the rear.

I've got 17 x 8 et40 running 225/45/17 tyres, lowered 30mm, and i don't get any rubbing, so you should be fine :)

Thanks for the reply guys.

Hey ally just noticed you have the rims I was first looking at but I figured 8" might have been too wide. How do you get on with the OZ ultra's could I get away with the 235/45/17 on the rear wheels?

My tyre side wall is right on the limit of flushness on my rears, and that is with a slightly stretched 225 tyre width. You would be pushing it with 235s. I'll try and post up a photo later.

Hi, i've not posted on here for about 3 years. I'd got my car how i wanted it, and then lost all interest for some reason. But i think the bug might be biting again, as i could do with a new exhaust . I've updated my signature to how my car is now. I might even post some photos up.

cheers
