  1. coilovers & 255/40 * 17 Toyo R888 tyres (rears) arrived today

    Looks like it will retain electric seats for fore & aft movement which will be cool (seats are fixed back buckets)

    Decided not to use the 4 point harnessess yet as the seats are quite small and my bum a tad large so i'll be well wedged in

  2. This car looks awesome cant wait to see it finished!

    Will defo be lookin for this at JAE B)

    The only thing is its giving me bad ideas about mega dishy big wheels now!lol

    If you dont mind me askin how much were the custom arches?

    The cost of the custom arches will vary depending on what you get done. What you will need to budget for is a respray of the doors and rear quarter panel as well. I would say budget about 100 - 150 hours of bodyshop work to get it done, but of course, what you can benefit from is you can get a mould made of the new arches and you can make money off that.

    Read this thread through today amd while everything is not too my taste I take my hat off to the quality of the work.

    Must have cost a packet if the arches alone took 150 hours at quality body shop rates of £50 + per hour thats a lot of wonga :crybaby:

  3. much as I love the place its getting very expensive.

    fuel to get there / hotels...........you really want a 4 lap ticket mounts up....

    probably get 2 full track days over here for what you pay....

  7. I'd suggest you should take care lextasy have a bad reputation on the MYis forums in the states.

    Long lead times... poor coms

    I bought a c/f grill from them in 2004 and was more than happy with the quality & service I received though.

    read up and make your own judgement

    Just go in with your eyes open. Use paypal and you should be OK

    sounds like another Lex site i know in the uk..

    What one would that be I wonder :whistling:

    When I posted I was counting the minutes before you or A N Other would post just this..........

    As I said my experience was good but it was a while ago as was Gordon's as he has been Lexless for over a year now

    Check my feedback rating on eBay ...................the place where a seller cant say anything negative against a seller..............that holds up

    problems I've had on here are

    people not giving full addresses (1)

    people giving addresses they no longer live at but use for paypal (1)

    people who cant wait 7 hours for a reply (1)

    people who are not in when package is delivered but courier allegedly doesnt leave a card (1)

    I know I do my best but also some people will never be satisfied whatever you do............

    Lifes too short IMHO
