Anyone near Wickford got a 22mn box wrench

by jimxms, 06-08-2019, 07:42 AM

Need one with quite a deep angle as I'm trying to get the alternator pulley off and my wrench doesn't have quite a steep enough angle to get in there.

Hi there

by HollowPoint, 06-08-2019, 06:21 AM

Hi everyone, I was at JAE last weekend with the 300zx.co.uk club, but tbh the weekend was a bit of a let down and for some time, I've been getting more and more fed up with the moderation levels on the forum. Posts going missing, threads being deleted, threats of "Stop talking about this (Referring to nothing more than why an old member was banned when the entire forum seemed to love him) or you'll get banned!" etc. So since I was told at JAE that this is how this club got started, I'd come and say hello.

So, Hello

Not new to Lexus's many years ago i owned a Altezza RS200 automatic, sold it in jan 2006 due to combination of high insurance & young age now im older insurance isnt too much a problem but finding a Altezza quite new/low miles as my IS200 is so i settled for this. since selling the Altezza i owned few cars in that time, a Mitsubishi Carisma, a Mazda 323F sport then a Corolla T-sport i sold last july 2010, i did look into buying a 04 Honda Accord, Legacy(hard to find), RX-8 (too many problems + bad bad oil, fiuel consumption now i know why there dead cheap) or a BMW 3 series, C-class, Golf GTi(bit too expensive) and even a IS300 good thing i didnt as i had chance of being redundent a year ago but instead it was in march 2011 luckily i found a job few months ago so i can slowly spend some treats to the car:drink:

by el_bandido, 05-08-2019, 02:29 PM

I'm thinking about getting some 40th anniversary edition RX8 wheels for my IS200 and I want to know if the lexus centre caps will fit the Mazda wheels.

I didn't take too many photos, I just let my mate loose with the camera.

Air freshener

by dj0nes, 03-08-2019, 09:21 AM

Okay guys bit of a weird one lol,
I've got a bit of a wondering eye and like to look at cars and people next to me in traffic (Some may say perv :drool: I prefer to be called nosey lol)

In a lot of high end cards Mercs Beemers Lexus Audi's etc.. I am seeing have a circular airfreshner hanging from the mirror which appears to be called "D&T" not to be confused with D&G. It's bugging me as I cannot see anything online about these so I was wondering if anyone has come across one of these air freshners and could shed some light onto why all the 'big dogs' have them in their cars?

Cheers!

Broken down!

by jimxms, 03-08-2019, 07:17 AM

Well all the modding finally caught up with me as I'm currently broken down on the m25!

Car started loosing power and pressing down on accelerator further was having a negative effect.

Pulled over, stopped car and then restarted. Idle is really lumpy and smoke coming from left rear of engine (maybe headers)?

No cel's to give me any clues!!
