Bye to the lex

by cameron, 07-07-2019, 05:22 PM

Well after four years of having the lex it's finally time to say bye. Bit of a sad day stripping the bits off. But she had to go things where starting to get that old way and needing replaced also the engine management light came on. So that made the decision that bit easier. Sadly I have not gone jap this time as what I wanted was out of my budget. So I take delivery of a 09 plate focus zetec s on wedensday. It's a 2.0 petrol so should still be nippy but not at the cost of the old girl. I know am not a official outlaw any more. But the strut brace induction kit. And 17" lexus wheels and other bits are up for grabs.

Fresh paint

by parthiban, 07-07-2019, 05:16 PM

So thanks to a little corrosion, the lovely people at Lexus have just resprayed my bonnet and rear wing and they are looking lovely. Particularly the bonnet - after so many years it's amazing to see it without any stone chips in it!

Looking to do whatever I can to keep it looking great, what should I do? Just slap on a few coats of wax? Or is there anything else to do first?

Also can I touch the paint now or do I need to wait a bit?

Number Plates most expensive in The world

by Lexusboy, 07-07-2019, 12:20 PM

Most Expensive Number Plate - Number 1
"1", £7million, Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri, Abu Dhabi, 2008


Saeed Abdul Ghaffer Khouri demolished Talal Khoury's previous record earlier this year when he bought a number plate bearing the single digit "1" at an auction in Abu Dhabi. Mr Khouri, a member of a wealthy Abu Dhabi family, said: "I bought it because it's the best number." He wouldn't say which of his vehicles he'd be putting the number plate on.

Most Expensive Number Plate - Number 2
"5", £3.5million, Talal Ali Mohammed Khoury, Abu Dhabi, 2007


Talal Ali Mohammed Khoury broke the world record for the most expensive plate ever bougt when he paid over 25 million Dirhams (£3,500,000) for the single digit "5" in 2007. While in the area, Mr Khoury also splashed out over £800,000 for the number "55" at the same auction. When asked, he said the numbers held "absolutely no signigicance whatsoever" to him.

Most Expensive Number Plate - Number 3
"F1", £440,000, Afzal Khan, UK, 2008


Bradford entrepreneur Afzal Khan smashed Mike McCoombs previous record earlier this year by buying "F1" for a huge £440,000, making it the most expensive number plate to ever be sold in Britain. The plate is attached to Mr Khan's Mercedes SLR McLaren, and he says "I think it's a good price to pay because it's probably worth 10 times that".

Most Expensive Number Plate - Number 4
"M 1", £330,000, Mike McCoomb, UK, 2006


After making his fortune in 2000 by selling his Mobile Phone Store to BT Cellnet, Mike McCoomb bought this record-breaking, £330,000 number plate in 2006, reportedly for his son's sixth birthday. By our calculations that leaves the poor lad at least another three years before he can use them! We bet Dad's enjoying them for now, though.

Most Expensive Number Plate - Number 5
"VIP 1", £285,000, Roman Abramovich, UK, 2006


Fittingly, the registration "VIP 1" has already had it's fair share of Very Important owners. Initially commissioned to be placed on the Popemobile for Pope John Paul II's papal visit to Ireland, Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich snapped up this most modest of number plates in 2006.

Number Plates ("Show" plates)

by Stoney, 07-07-2019, 12:04 PM

I am after some new number plates ASAP. Ideally I would get a slightly smaller one on the front, standard size on the rear, with legal letters and spacing. Though I would like small text across the bottom "www.OutlawJapClub.com." To do this I need to get "show plates".

Though most places offer a choice of font for this small text, I cannot find any company offering Tempus Sans ITC, (the official OJC font!) and that is ideally what I would want, or it won't look quite "right"!



Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to source such a plate?

rolling arches

by jay_russell, 06-07-2019, 03:57 PM

so we now have a arch roller at work at the guy has been doing a few cars but before i let him do the lexus i need to ask a few question to all those who have rolled arches.
1 st question is how far out have people rolled the arches with out problems and what is recommended to roll out to.
2nd is about the paint, how easy is it to burn or damage the paint with the heater gun as i know lexus paint is not so hard.
3rd is about wheel offset once the arches are rolled and what size tyre width can you get on the back.


time for some bigger wheels and tyres on the back i think

Bored of your Maybach?
