My Lexarse IS200 Sport.............

by JayJay1374, 09-02-2020, 03:25 PM

alright guys, got myself a new car a few months ago, and ive done quite a few things, anyway

in june i bought a lexus is 200 sport with 115,000 on the clock for a very reasonable £1600
heres how i bought it:


as soon as i got it home i had the rear badges straight off. the next day i split and painted the headlights and ordered some hids, debadged grille, jap style square plates and 50mm lowering springs.



the day after fitting the springs i found a set of tein control master flex coilovers on ebay with a misspelt title so i was winning them for 99p then another bidder stepped in. i waited till the end of the auction and ended up winning them for £205, a right bargin considering they are £1150 new Cool whilst fitting the coilovers i painted the wheels too.

GoPro HD Hero Motorsport Review and Video

by Dark Samurai, 05-02-2020, 06:06 AM

Hey guys.
I got some funds together, and bought myself a GoPro HD Hero Motorsport edition Video Camera.
For those who don't know what a GoPro is, it's basically a tiny little video camera that comes with various mounts depending on which package you buy, you can strap it to your car, bike, boat, surfboard, plane, I've even seen videos with people sticking their GoPro to their dog lol

So I chose the Motorsport edition GoPro, this means it came with a suction cup mount, which means you can go to 150+ mph with it mounted on a car, and 200mph+ on a plane. (I figured that as the air pressure is lower and there is less wind at x feet up in the sky...)

Here's a few pictures of it so far:

Look what came!


The GoPro and suction cup mounted to my kitchen side:


The GoPro next to a lighter, so you can see how small it really is:

Just a Random pic:


Anyway! The case it comes with is a fully waterproof case, I did a test and it doesn't let any water in at all due to a rubber seal around the door on the back and a big stiff clamp (not horribly stiff, just securely stiff).
But for when you want to mount the GoPro on your car, and go under 100 mph, they supply you with a non waterproof door for the housing so it will let engine or other noises in, but still no wind noise, whereas if you use the waterproof door, it's really quiet and you can't really hear a thing.

So, pros and cons:

Pros:
So small. Easily mountable to a lot of surfaces. Very strong suction from the suction cup. A range of different mounts for a whole lot of different things. HD video at 720p 30fps, 720p 60fps or 1080p 30fps. HD Sound recording also. Charges quickly. A range of settings for all uses. Live video to plug into your TV and use it as a CCTV camera.

Cons:
Battery only lasts around 2.5-3 hours because its such a small battery. The camera is very memory hungry, a 17 minute video was 1.02GB! There is no on board memory so you have to buy a memory card.

I really have only 2 cons with this camera, it's probably the best buy for my money I have ever bought.
If anybody else wants to buy one, just say and I'll give you the link

Here's the link of me testing it on the Celica GT-Four and a friend's Proton:

Thanks for reading guys, hope you enjoyed it and have expanded your knowledge if you were unaware of any of this.

I had the strangest phone call in work today, a very loyal customer of ours rang to say that he no longer wishes to drive due to health issues and that if 1 of the lads in the workshop wanted his car to go and collect it,
So I'm now the proud owner of another is, this is a 99plate is200 auto with only 40k!!!!! And the best part - it was completely free!!! Although the mrs is trying to lay claim to it!!!! His an hers lol

2012 DIY Project - Can I do this?

by Saraj, 04-02-2020, 11:33 AM

Every year I seem to get myself into some sort of DIY Project.

Last year I managed for the first time ever, put down paving slabs in my front yard. With this in mind, I want do the same in my back yard.

This is my back yard (well photo taken about 4 years ago)


The paint has all flaked off and the concrete is slightly cracked but nothing major.

I started digging the concrete out to find underneath it is tarmac !

Is it possible just to lay paving down directly on top? as it is a secure and stable base?

What do you think?
