  1. I could have warned you on duty charges being ridiculous
  2. In that case so would yours. :D Anything remotely modded would end up on there lol!! :D
  3. In that case so would yours.
  4. Would have been better with a decent camera and someone holding it without parkinsons.
  5. Its actuallu blue you want which give off the bright white glow
  6. Agreed they dont have the performance but then look elsewhere for power and luxury..
  7. i thought with greenstuff pads you should get less brake dust :) You do get less brake dust I have greenstuff on mine and althought a little soft there isnt much brake dust at all.
  8. can i ask why you were banned Kerb crawling..
  9. Roughly a third of £800 on top (inc handling charge, duty and tax) so about £200 on top easily. So total will be £1000. HM customs and excise are over charging ********. I mean £18 limit before they take your arse for everything whilst the US and other places have a limit of $200...come on!!! Only other way is for the exporter to declare it as a gift and under value it.
  10. Now thats an improvement. Wonder how much the engine can be fiddled with to increase power easily ie a re-map etc?
  11. Its the pollen filter on the IS200 which is the cause. Not sure whether the IS250 has one i can only assume so.
  12. Leave a yank in an empty room it wont be long before he is fighting with himself.
  13. Get a new car if i were you with the power stock.
  14. I remember the last group buy worked out around £180-190. It ended up though where it came out of the organisers pocket as well.
  15. Those are impressive figures for a diesel.
  16. Thanks for your insight. Any ideas what the part is called or part no, instead of me having to describe the thing?
  17. Mate i am in no way knocking the car as i think they are great and possibly one of the best looking motors on the road as stock. You obviously know exactly what i am saying I have actually had a drive (only short) of the CSL (lightweight version, yeah?) M3. Great power and great sound (horrendous fuelling lol!). You made me the offer before and i appreciate it. Like the others have said though i will like it a bit too much and then start looking elsewhere which at this time isnt practical for me, yet. As for the Evo/RS6. Hmmm you have a bit more refinement with the M3 rather than the Evo. It also depends which evo you go for. I aint that much of a fan of the VIII and IX. A mate of mine own owns his own gym and supplement range had the XIII (FQ320) for approx 4mnths. 2 clutches and plethora of problems. Brand new out of the showroom as well and Mitsubishi arent the best customer service orientated ppl either. Suffice to say he sold it and got a Monaro the VRX 420bhp model. Now the electrics on that ******* up things. It had that much torque and power going through the rear wheels the ABS kicked in all at the wrong times and sent you ******* sideways. I almost did on a mini-roundabout. Vauxhall hadn't refined that thing down well enough to make it drivable which is a shame. Again lovely and rare car but just impractical. He sold that within 2mnths of owning it. Now funnily enough has a black soft top M3. If you get a chance take the Evo VI out as a comparison. I had the Tommi Macinnen edition given to me to me by my mate whilst he was in the Algarve. 320bhp, just a straight through exhaust system, induction and that went like sh!t of a shovel although it hurt your arse after a while especially on our crappy roads. In my opinion still the one to go for as i like IV-VI. BTW the fastest thing i have drove is the w@nkel engine (****** lol) based RX-7. That left everything for dust. I had the chance to buy that from a mate for very *** money but couldbt @ssed with the ****** ****** up on me as i would have torched the it.
  18. Race cans? There is black one round here with a bracus kit on or similar. It looks far more agressive with just subtle skirting and spliters on. Bit like the lexus with the TRD and TTE bits on. Its a shame that these cars have been tainted by the type of people that drive them. Obviously Rsarin not included ;)
  19. Possibly mate. Anyone else any ideas? Will it be expensive off lexus thenselves?
