Topman! :D

Look at that!

Loads of them!

Cheers Kam

Anyone know where I can lay my hands on a secondhand IS200 radiator for a reasonable price???????

Cool.

I'll be in Bournemouth in the morning. B)

What time and where are you thinking

It depends what you want.

As I understand it the Brink and Witter models are fixed towbars where as the Lexus version is detachable. :)

I prefer the idea of being able to remove the bar when it isn't being used...............which would be most of the time for me.

Best news I have had all week.

Great to see you are back and really hope the bosses manage to sort out whatever is aggrieving you.

Welcome back buddy! B)

I had the same situation recently. Warped disks and wanted to upgrade.

Decided on DBA Silverfish disks and even ended up talking directly to the sole UK Importer (a man called Tony Mason) as advertised on the DBA disks site.

Apparently he used to be an employee of the UK importers and has now bought the rights to set up on his own but is taking some time getting the paperwork sorted. :duh:

Anyway he did tell me over the phone that they have stopped manufacturing the front Gold DBA disks and they wouldn't be available any more!

Ended up getting Black Diamond disks whichc have only been on a week but seem okay so far (not worn in yet)! Put off a little by the Max Power logos all over the box!

Chris!

Mate!

I can't beleive it.

I am gutted.

You have been a fantastic advert for your both your dealership and Lexus aftercare.

You have also been such a huge help to me over the years that I am very sorry to see you have parted company with your employer.

I wish you the very best for the future buddy.! B)

TDI have got them listed at £3000 +Vat making the purchase price £3525.

TDI will also charge up to £900 + Vat for the two days installation making the price £1057.50

Add the two together and it makes £4582.50. B)

(Have calculator will travel!) :zee:

Get saving.

Nick 27,

Try Millway Sport in Andover.

They fitted mine and they offer Gold discount!

Years ago I had the same thing on a company car I was given. It used to corner one way better than it did the other.

When I took it in for a service the main dealer refused to let me have it back again informing me that it was dangerous to drive.

Turns out that the previous driver had hit something in the road at such speed with one wheel that one side of the car was an inch shorter than the other!

It cost the company a fortune to have the chassis straightened again.

Anyway thought I would share that little story but it is obviously not likely to be the problem in your case. :)

AAAHHHH! I drive past Janspeed every morning on my way into work and have seen this car pulling in. :)

I presume it belongs to a Janspeed employee.

I thought it was turbo'ed though as Janspeed used to specialise in turbo conversions. B)

Also someone told me the other day that Janspeed have an IS200 race team but I haven't actually seen any details of that.

Anyway I can confirm it is a very clean car and has a large "Janspeed" sticker all across the rear bumper.

I did notice you had just sold your DBA's Fargo. Too late again!

I spoke to TDI a couple of weeks ago and they didn't have any in stock and were experiencing problems getting any more.

I appreciate your thoughts but as the standards disks are so expensive I thought I could upgrade to a better disk that is less likely to warp.

Anyone else got any thoughts????

Need your advice ..................................again!

I need to change my front disks and want to know the best ones to get for the right money.

I want to use Green stuff pads with them as I have just had a normal set of pads put back in and the damn wheels get covered in dust by the end of the day!

Normal disks are quite pricey anyway so I thought now would be the time to upgrade. B)

So my first thoughts were to go for a full set of DBA Silverfish Gold disks all round however I am told by the official UK importer that DBA no longer supply the front disks and nobody has any stock left.

I have heard the Black Diamond disks are noisey under braking and don't really want any more noise. :duh:

I have heard bad things about the EBC disks. :yack:

So I have been advised to get the TRD disks however they seem to be quite expensive

So what do I do.

Am I wrong on any of those points

Should I be looking at a totally different disk.

Help!

I seem to remember that the bit that actually disappears underneath the car is not fixed at he far end.

The flap is fixed olong the side edge.

Exactly the same down my way mate.

I fell in love with the IS and eventually managed to get enough readies to buy one.

Just before making the purchase I spotted another one started to appear parked round the corner.

By the time I got my beauty home there were 4 or 5 in the area.

They are now breeding like rabbits.

The local car dealer always seems to have different IS200's for sale everytime I go past

Everybody as realised what a great car they are.

Victims of our own good choice!

Standard when checked before mods

With HKS Super Drager, Unichip and custom Induction = 173bhp.

With Supercharger and Unichip = 203bhp

My two penneth worth.

I carried out works similar to Fargo but with slightly better results.

Fitted a HKS Superdrager 2 exhaust, a custom induction kit with cold air box and a Unichip and got a 21bhp increase.

Good luck!

Whitie,

I have a set of drawings detailing the measurements and angles.

Sent you a PM

Thanks for the comments guys.

I will have a think about the situation

Hello Mark,

You did warn me a while back when I discussed getting a supercharger that you liked to check the fuelling.

My rolling road engineer reckons there is more horsepower to be had with the Unichip Supercharger combination if the lambda sensors didn't stop the ECU under fuelling.

He recommended Lambda sensor and water injection.

What do you think????

Cheers.

I might try a differnet rolling road.

Possibly.

My mechanic has told me that he cannot get my Unichip programmed to fuel properly because the Lambda sensors cause the ECU to shut off!

Okay everyone. Your starter for 10.

Has anyone had any experience of Lambda bypass/override controllers and any idea where I get one!

My local car dealer (Not Lexus!) currently has a Black X reg IS200SE on the forecourt marked up for £10995. B)

Now he seems to like the IS200's and has moved a few.....much to my annoyance as there are now loads in my area.

He is normally happy to do a deal! ;)
