JAE 2011 - Speedy's Pics

by speedfreek, 31-07-2019, 01:41 PM

Was an awesome weekend, really thoroughly enjoyed it - and kudos to Ian, Andy, Pete and everyone else that organised it. Your hard work made it a weekend to remember.

Some pics below (low res) - of our stand initially, more of the rest of the showground to come. Apologies if I didn't get some pics of your car - I am certain I will see them again and will get them next time.

If you want the high res (which will be emailed as photobucket is fail) let me know and I can send over.

Underground Racing

OK again not Jap cars - the place we are training is on the same industrial estate as this company, they are world famous for their twin turbo conversions of Lambo, Ferrari, R8, Cobra - well you get the idea!!

NEVER HAVE I SEEN A PLACE LIKE THIS APART FROM ASTON MARTIN AT GAYDON - SPOTLESS ULTRA MODERN FACILITY!!

I had a good look around the workshop - NO photos of course thats only to be expected of a place like this. BUT today they left a couple of "in progress" cars outside whilst they went to lunch so:

MATT BLACK - NON FACTORY PAINT - SEAT COVERS FROM FACTORY STILL IN PLACE.


DIFFERENT CAR - PEARL BLACK


The garage had no less then 30 high end super cars in various levels of conversion, many new, so people want twin turbos BEFORE taking delivery from Italy, I am wondering what recession?????

Just up the road the Classic car repair garage has a LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH in white - engine leaking from everywhere, Engine out and reseal - not a cheap job at all but what is on a Lamborghini? hey you buy the car you buy the cost of repair. The result of putting the WRONG oil into the engine, and just topping up every couple of months, the leaks just get worse and worse...... They had this V8 Lotus Esprit just in from the auctions, beautiful low miles example, STS turbo conversion (single), unknown power but it is at least 550BHP apparently?


Nice deep dish wheel:

My Project: '03 Lexus IS200 SE

by ArcaneLexus, 28-07-2019, 07:38 AM

I bought this car a few months ago. One owner from new with full service history. It came with the styling kit installed as a factory option. At first I hated the spoiler and even considered getting rid of it. After a lot of chin rubbing and squinting at it from various angles, I decided to keep it.

So far, I've removed the Sport emblem from the front grille and replaced it with a TRD emblem.



TRD emblem fitted.


Next was to debadge the rears. I would have kept the centre 'L' but the inner edge of it was chipped and the whole thing looked untidy.



The glue and some dirt which had built up on the paint inside the '00's in IS200.


Nice and clean.


And my list of jobs to be done are as follows:

Repaint front fog lights - done and fitted
Repaint head lights - being done next week
Repaint rear lights - being done the week after next
HID lights - purchased and will be fitted once headlights are done

That's all for the moment.

Hi all, newbie from Dorset

by lisac6317, 27-07-2019, 07:21 PM

Hiya guys & girls,

I'm Lisa, girlfriend of Mattross1313, who bought Andy's Lexus IS200. I drive a 1995 MR2 Turbo which I've had for nearly 4 years now. I met Andy quite a few years ago, in my youth, when I sold him my 1.8 16v Clio! I live just outside of Bournemouth (with Matt) & work for Nissan. Anyhoo, I thought I'd better introduce myself as we'll be meeting you all at JAE on Friday! Here's a few pictures of my baby & I look forward to meeting you all.
