wheel fitment advice

by mpls24, 09-09-2019, 08:02 PM

Hi i'm looking at getting wheels that are 18 x 8.5 ET35 as was wondering whether they will fit an IS200?

i know there will probably be scrubbing but i can get the arches rolled. I just wanted to make sure they won't foul the suspension struts or have problems on full lock etc.

cheers.

Laser Etching

by Demon, 09-09-2019, 02:54 PM

Hi Everyone,

Well looks like we will soon have a HUGE laser cutter at work in the next few weeks at work. Finally convinced them that we need one and rather than just get a normal size one they have sourced a monster!!!!!

The cutting bed is 1200 x 1600 mm so will soon be able to cut huge pieces of acrylic, wood, fabric, etc etc. I will be offering exclusive deals for 'Outlaws' so if anyone is after etched/precision cut pieces of acrylic for sound instals, house name plates, custom etched skateboards, personallised gifts then give me a shout. It can't cut metal but can cut acrylic, wood etc up to about 40mm thick.

Will soon have a website setup with all the options but if anyone wants to talk further about any custom pieces they would like cut/etched then feel free to contact me via PM.

Front Brakes question

by VINNY867, 09-09-2019, 08:51 AM

I have recently aquired an IS200 and there seems to be some sort of problem with the front brakes. When stopping at a junction, when the car is almost stopped, there is grating, whish I assume is the abs coming on for some reason? I haven't had the wheels off to have a look but can someone give me some pointers as to what to check, I am not very mechanically minded unfortunately and if I get someone to check the car I would like to know what I am getting them to look for. Thanks

New boy....

new garage, then ramps needed

by Moley, 08-09-2019, 07:06 PM

Well I'm just waiting on getting a price for one of these .....

http://www.rbscotland.co.uk/gallery.html#

The size is going to be 18 meters long by 9 or 10 meters in width and 4.5 meters high to the top of the vertical posts before the roof starts . I think if I remember correctly what was said at the time of the survey the roof will have a 15 degree pitch .The walls will be blocked up to about 4 feet then just the steel cladding the rest of the way up.

I'm going to loft two thirds of the roof space for a games room come time and leave one third at the end to enable me to get a car ramp .

Just need to decide on what colour to make it and what kind of ramp to get .
Not sure on a four or a two post ramp / lifter . So what would yous suggest ?
