  1. Not really any good meeting point for going to Chesham for all directions. Will do a small detour and meet you guys at S Mimms though
  2. Agree with that I got a lot of Draper stuff as well.
  3. Um......South Mimms is on the A1/M25 junction, wrong direction on the M25 for M1 travellers methinks mate
  4. Yup it's 12mm. I got a Halfords Professional one and have no problems with plugs falling out, sockets stuck to plugs or the rubber coming out of the socket. Guess you get what you pay for as they ain't that cheap.
  5. Who's the dodgy geezer nicking the coat out of the car though ?
  6. If it was that cheap to fix and no insurance record, and I owned a body shop, I would patch it up and knock it out. It's all no jig required in our opinion etc. Bit dodge IMHO.
  7. Like Tango says Autosol is the muts. I cleaned mine with one of those plastic scourer things and hot soapy water to get the road grime off. Dry and polish up with Autosol, job done :D
  8. Very interesting and a bit wierd, what's transmitting in the car?
  9. Yes they are interchangeable but the spring rates are slightly different because of the weights of the cars.
  10. Any local motor factor should be able to get a pattern one like Blueprint.
  11. Never saw a car with soggy armpits Great looking car mate.
  12. I agree with the above, I tried IK22's and had problems, mainly "bogging down" after idling and trying to take off. Put that down to plugs fouling because they were too cold. No real problems at higher revs though. I have the same mods as you (check my sig) now on IK20's and all is OK with the car, so I would say go IK20 and try them. Hope that helps.
  13. Hi and welcome to LOC :D Lots on info on here and peeps that can answer your questions.
  14. Fit like neebs Welcome, a few members up the East Coast but all IS200 AFAIK.
  15. Went to fill up at Sainsbo's the other week and the young lad at the till decided to ask and I quote: Q "Did you decide to badge it as an Altezza or did you buy it like that?" A "It is a Toyota Altezza, pump 3 and 20 Marlboro please" Q "it's a really a Lexus though, the Japs just badge then as Toyotas" A "No other way about mate" Queue builds up behind, and he gets the fags and I am paying the bill. Q "Yes but it is still an IS200 with different badges" Too much for me this time. A " It's a Toyota Altezza RS200, about 220 Bhp, about 70 more than an IS200, around 200Kg lighter and with 50/50 weight distribution front to rear, so now you know mate" Payed the bill to one spotty faced youth with a big red face and big queue sniggering.
