Maybe fit the boot spoiler off the sport. They did one with a brake light and one without. I actually don't like spoilers I'm afraid 🙈 |

It's funny that people used to fall over themselves to add 'lexus' lights to any old hatchback...now it's gone the other way where people with an actual Lexus are keen to cover the Lexus lights up. I'm not being negative about your car... it's just an amusing observation. Yeah, that makes me laugh too, the lexus lights haven't aged well imo. |

Always had a soft spot for the IS200s - think they're quite a handsome car, with a reputation of being a bit "pipe and slippers". Liking what you've done with yours so far  They're good cars! I think they're under appreciated. Thanks for the kind words mate |

My brother in law used to have one of these... he px’d it for a mk3 mondeo diesel estate which was insanity  I was gutted as I would have given him more than the px amount if he’d bloody asked me!! It went really well, and the engine was lovely and smooth. I always thought with a few minor tweaks it would have looked spot on. I liked the mesh style front grill  (Not his...but this is what I would have liked to have done to it)  What happened to the Uno? Or do you still have that? |

Ahh mate, you missed out by the sounds of it! They're pretty cheap, you should get one. Believe it or not, I sold the uno reasonably locally, to a guy who actually owned it as his first car about 15 or so years ago! |

Here's some pics of how the lexus sits...   It's too high... Roll centre adjusters will have to be ordered along with shorter spindles... My mrs has left me, so may asewell deck the car and have some enjoyment in my life! 😂😂 Here is how it will sit, even if it kills the car! 😂  |

So... Not much really Happened with this, I was pretty happy with how it was. It drove great, sat okay for a daily driver on mid range coilovers And then... I was heading to work, went over the same.level crossing as I do any normal day and boom! Two shattered rims... Hay, ho, no biggie! Whipped the standard is200 wheels on and went about my business! Then these banded Vito steels came up on Facebook marketplace for £450 with new tyres... They're 16x8 up front and 9s at the back...  |

Now... 16s are kinda small on these old barges but, I'm having crazy ideas of winding the coilovers right down and just sweeping the road on a daily basis and just seeing how the old girl copes... I'm also thinking of going 12 inch 2ide all-round, running camber and just going all out!?!?! 🤔🤔 Time will tell I guess! Anyway, here's a lil test fit whilst I wait on 5mm spacers to clear the brake calipers and wobble bolts to sort pcd from 112 to 114.3 Cheers guys!    |

I really really wanted a set of steels for mine. But in 18inch and could never find a set in 5*114, never even thought about 5*112 and wobbly bolts.. looking forward to see how it turns out

I did want banded insignia steels but couldn't be arsed to run 5x120 adapters just for steels. I hope you like the end result bud! |

So... On the way to work (5 minutes from my destination) this happened...  Great.... Luckily my mum who's a curse word hero, jumped in her trusty mazda and dropped off the banded steels to me! Whipped them on, got to work, lovely! A big drop is incoming...  |

So, my dad and I threw a new power steering pump on the lexus today and gave it a look over ready for MOT.. She needs a new offside sill, alternator belt and a centre back exhaust... not too bad! Cheers guys  |

So... I've literally abandoned this car, I have no love for it and honestly, cba with it... However, as I arrived home from work I got my dandelion gear knob delivery! I love it! I might even scrape some money together and do something with the piece of curse word!  Cheers for looking guys! |

It's their first one apparently ☺️ Haha I saw when they posted last week that the first one had come out of the jig, must be yours... I enquired about price but with a normal 3 inch tip but for price they want and then Id still need to make a link pipe to my front pipe, I may aswell just make one myself as lovely as it is! Make sure you get some videos up when it's on |

Make sure you get some videos up when it's on Mate, I'll be brutally honest, crest done exactly what I wanted to a T, however.... I paid for this system in march and only got it last night.... So if you're able to make your own... I fully recommend that, the system cost me 600 as it was a prototype and I understand that with such things it can take time etc but if you're not willing to wait... I'd go elsewhere.... I adore the work Tom done and I actually think he's a great bloke and love his work and I know for a fact he'd make and ship out a similar system much quicker... Just from my own experience, the wait was a bit much BUT to say I'm happy is an instatement and regardless of the wait... I'll be using Tom's services again without a shadow of a doubt. |
