I'll have to book the day off to make sure I'm able to go. As for what car to take, well I've got Linz wanting to take her car so It'll be down to a toss of a coin methinks! (There's no way I'm taking two cars before you start! I'm far too tight for that)

I like it, But how long would that live on my car before it goes outside my house? Answer = seconds. Anyway I have done the rear of the LS last week with new badges on the boot etc and funds going towards some clear rear lights. Mod funds are going on my GTR for the next few weeks so bling will have to wait. Well you should move back to a more civilised place where the people are normal :winky: So you're keeping the Gtr now?? Good, but it's still not as fast as mine :P Probably by the time you read this it'll be up for sale again tho. You change your mind more than my mrs when she's looking at shoes! Ade N1's???? Pointless in the box, Just sell them to me. Already covered this in the resurrected "lowering springs" thread. NO! NO! NO!

Looked at pictures, They are rubbish with a rubbish driver. He's fat and old. :winky: SPRINGS? Is that the only mod you can thnk of for yor car? I can't believe you never asked me for the springs etc for the LS400's as I know everything. I'm let down in you not asking after all the times in the past. P.s. to your answer to your other thread. Gtr faster than mine eeerrrrr not any more as spent few pounds on her recently and yours is a dust catcher with a flat battery. :winky: Hello! You drinking again?? This thread is from 2005 when I had the Gs! I always ask you for advice you know that as I'm a fair believer in care in the community! and besides it gives you something to do :D As for the Gtr's, wanna race big boy! I've washed the cobwebs of her and charged the battery so beware, and I haven't fitted the better turbo's yet. And before you start I am going to fit them and no you can't have them! :winky:

Don't let Bazgtr see that! He's the magpie of the Lexus world and loves anything shiny! :winky:

The 35's on mine have no different ride characteristics than the 40's that were on there previously! If the width of the tyre is increased (from 235 to 265) it is necessary to lower the side wall profile to retain the same rolling radius. In effect a 235/40 and a 265/35 will have very little if any change in sidewall size. bazgtr's reply is also spot on! Ade.

Hello. I've got 18's on mine and I've just fitted 265/35/18's on the back and there are no problems. I haven't lowered it tho! To me 50 profiles on a 235 is a little on the too high side. 40's or a 35 profile would be better. (I have 235/40's on the front) Hope this is of some help? Ade.

I'm glad you left everything on the car Alex :winky: saves me doing it all! Great car! Enjoyed the drive home and enjoyed the fuel consumption even more. All the best Alex with your move to the Us. (Lucky sod!) Ade.

They drilled a hole in the leather that was part of the dash. Owner returned and as you say went ballistic. They agreed to replace the part with a new leather piece, but low and behold, the leather is a specific colour and the new part did not match!! The only option available was to replace the complete interior!!!. I can't recall the total price, but it's fair to say it was substantial! That was only one of the many things seen, I could include: 1, Car being reversed of an mot ramp whilst in the air! 2, Car being driven into closed garage door, as new brakes were fitted and not bled! 3, Car driven into mechanics toolboxes (numerous times). 4, Brake pads fitted back to front! These are the ones that instantly come to mind, there are lots more.

Wouldn't touch Sony with a barge pole, build quality's gone $#!t. Looked at the Panasonic range?

Hello. Long time since I've posted, but exobex sent the thread to me, so thought I'd add my views. I currently have an R32 Skyline Gtr and they are extremely rapid. Mine has been modified, but even in standard trim they go very well. The handling takes a while to get used to, as they tend to corner better than you'd expect. They are very thirsty animals tho! and I regularly see single figures in my fuel economy if driven hard. But you will see low 20's if driven sensibly. I've owned a few Supra's and they are a different beast to the Skyline, personally I prefer the look of the Supra, but that's just my opinion. What I like about the Skyline, is the driving experience, it just feels more composed. (again my opinion)and the fact that you don't see many of them about, as compared to the Supra. (around my neck of the woods anyway!) You are quite right about the prices (unfortunately for me!) thay are dropping quite a bit these days, but as always, beware of thrashed examples. Hope this helps? and if you need any more info, let me or exobex know. Regards, Ade.

I have been trying to send them, but it takes forever! :tsktsk: I'll try again, and that's it for tonight if they dont go this time. I've managed to put a personal picture in my profile tho!!! :D Cheers Mart, Ade...

Hello. I've managed to take photos and downloaded them onto my computer, but i have no idea how to upload them onto this site - any ideas? Thanks Ade

No pics yet, as I work all the hours possible. As soon as I get a day off, I'll wash the car and take some. ( can't tell what colour it is at the mo!! ) Regards, Ade..

Now now Martin. a deal's a deal!! :P I wont turn a blind eye to your speeding if you carry on!!!! You have been warned. Ade.....
