dark_is200

not convinced.

i'll tell you why.

in Japan Tom's or was it TRD made some specials that had flat black tails....not smokedlike the 2003 cars. Flat black like the headlights, they also had matching inner lens that were smoked aswell, i know from japan the smoked inners cost circa $200 and the tails..no idea

think it was toms that made them - not sure you can get them anymore though. not sure if the us ones are toms or a copy.

Woman driving it today should be :tsktsk: banned or go back to driving her bmw.

Entered bus lane,

Nearly knocked cyclist off bike

Reached end of bus lane and wouldn't let anyone merge

george bush?

the part nu for the main rear light cluster(smoked)is

81551-53012-b1

81561-53012-b1

these r available from ur local lexus dealer :P

thanks very much, just ordered, collecting tomorrow

I will PM u the company where i got my from Kieren. and they sell the spare red blubs for it too...

thanks, will check for PM

Does anyone know who makes these rear lights - the inner ones and the tail ones. Manufacturer and part numbers would be v.helpful (I know you can get them from www.i-m-racing.com but ideally need the manufacturer and part numbers)

No-one seems to know 

Some people have said the harness can be used, some have said the entire car needs re-wiring and new amps.

I hope the former is correct /pikey

think it depends on your cd player - if you have the old style player with the CD at the bottom then just the harness is ok, if you have the new one the rewiring is required.

hmm, doesn't fit my car

P-I-S-S-N ??

Yep, you can do 30 in 1st!

Normally do it in 2nd, 3rd or 4th if I'm on my own in the car (depends how I feel like driving). If I'm driving girlfriend or others then 6th gear.

What about first gear - seem to remember doing 30 in first (could be wrong - will test on the way home tonight!)

Didn't like the second film - even less realistic than the first!

american police cars keeping up with an EVO, don't think so somehow

The main cat was dirty (not been driven for a few months), after a bit of high rpm driving it cleared out and passed the emissions without problem. Paid for my own MOT - not seen a dealer since the modifications started!

failed on emissions, no other problems though

Try sqplus www.sqplus.com - they had them in stock and delivered next day when i ordered mine.

Don't know why, but this picture always reminds me of looking a lady's skirt

you know some strange ladies!

yep, the finish does not match the car - i've not tried putting it in to see what it looks like though - still waiting on the wiring harness....

Oooh, what wiring harness?

My facisa has arrived from the US. Is there a harness available too???

still waiting on the harness :tsktsk: :tsktsk:

whats with the coke bottle!!?

Dark IS, where di you get the pre-cats taken out from?

TDi removed the cats when they did the supercharger and exhaust manifolds

hi,

did TDi take out the main cat too ?

nope, still got the main cat in, i have an HKS high flow cat waiting for fitting to replace the standard one

Dark IS, where di you get the pre-cats taken out from?

TDi removed the cats when they did the supercharger and exhaust manifolds

by removing the precat, will it make your exhaust louder? and will it affect the emission?

i have had the precats removed, didn't notice any change to the exhaust sound. emissions are not a problem - i had an MOT a few months ago and passed without any problems at all so the main cat is ok on its own. These were the apporimxate numbers for the MOT, can't remember what the tests measure but anyway:

Test 1

Pass = 1.5% mycar =0.3%

Test 2

Pass = 200ppm mycar = 68ppm

I will be changing the main cat to an HKS sports model shortly (just waiting to get it fitted)

supercharged or not mileage is about fuel burnt which is about gas created, in any case, the question was about an is200. if the toyota cat spec is up to mb the life should be 100k miles but why not ask toyota/lexus, cheers, gds :) :)

i know of two is200's that have had problems with the cats' after very few miles, both of which were supercharged - think the extra heat causes them to break up

the life of all cats is mileage not age dependent under average driving conditions, eg the original cat on a merc is good for 100k miles in the uk. cheers gds :) :)

if your car is supercharged the higher EGT's get through the cats much more quickly.

How about the top secret wing?

Can't see that to many of the peeps here would be up for a drag race;

'cept a Dark & Kavey shootout possibly?!

could be interesting!
