Oh.... hello again!



hummm...... whats this thats turned up on my drive?....



let us see

its still on the last owners privet plate, but we will get that fixed in the next few days. and yes i know its a dirty dirty gal. but she will polish up just fine

myself and my boyfriend picked this little beutie up tonight for £1000, it is in need of a fair bit of work and TLC. but well worth it, i see it as a new project and a blank canvas.

this is a big step up from his vecturd he had. but what a step up it is!

we are looking for a English hack for the MCS.



anyway, here is a few pics from tonight















I guess its not just for him this car.... its to keep my spark going for mine as iv been loosing intrest in it for a while and have been looking in to getting a R33 skyline.

Refurbing Brembo Callipers

by Rabster, 07-03-2019, 03:47 PM

ok so i have a set of brembo callipers that are a bit tatty and could do with some work before fitting them. when they came of the last car they were in full working order

my questions are what can i use to remove the existing paint without damaging the surface beneath

what colour should i repaint them

i think red would be an over kill on my car thats allready red

i was thinking more maybe black?

cheers guys and girls

Registration Plates

by Tango, 07-03-2019, 12:50 PM

My car just failed it's very first MOT test :ohmy: Reason given was that front plate did not have black characters on a white background, and rear plate did not have black characters on a yellow background.

I thought buying my plates from a DVLA registered manufacturer would ensure they were legal but apparently not according to my local Lexus dealership. The plates have the domed carbon fibre lettering like this:



Anyone else had a similar problem?

Be More Specific!

Please remember to include what kind of car you've got when asking for help / advice / parts! Asking if anyone's got a set of TRD skirts or a spare bumper or a foglight, or what brakes fit doesn't help when you don't tell us what car it's for!

Please don't presume that everyone on here has got an IS200 and that it's an IS200 club We have a great mix of cars on here.

Insurance Q...

by jimxms, 07-03-2019, 06:16 AM

As strange as it sounds, it's actually cheaper for my Mrs who's on her provisional license to be the main policy holder on the Lex than it is for me.

What are the 'requirements' for being the main policy holder? For example, if I were to let her drive the car once a week - which is about the same amount as I drive the car, would this be OK?

I'm listed as the owner of the car, and the quotes I'm getting are based on this fact. But with all mods declared, the Mrs (with me listed as an additional driver) is getting quotes £200 less than me

Congratulations Jay and Anna :D

Jay_Russell and Anna are now proud parents to Harvey, born at 9:22 this morning (think he missed a decimal point in his FB post though, fairly sure the wee guy's not quite 4098kg)...

He has a couple of pics on FB for anyone who wants to go be nosey and stuff.

:drink: :drink:
