widnes_is200's headrest screen walkthrough

by widnes_is200, 29-12-2017, 07:04 PM

firsty can i oppologise for the terrible photo quality, it was only when the job was finished that i realised just how bad the lense was on my phone,

step 1 , mark out were u would like ure screen too go with a pencil, it is important too leave about half inch all the way round as this has to be a tight fit,




step 2, cut the headrest from corner too corner like a cross and by folding the leather back , this gives u the area that u need too be cutting the foam




step 3, tape ure leather edges back out of the way, this gives u ure shape and makes acess easyer,



step 4, cut away ure foam with patience, a little at a time untill u get the depth of ure back bracket, remember u can always take away but cant put back!



step 5, when ure happy with ure bracket , (this shoud be a tight fit as uve left half inch all way round) secure with screws provided, if as on the is200 there is very little plateing in the headrest then a adhesive sutch as silicone will do.







pop ure screen in and ure wire out of the bottom,



repeat with the second headrest.


it rearly is that easy if u just take ure time, it took me about 1 1/2 hours for each 1, when fitted and wired ille post more pics butt this will probably not be till the week end, hope this helps peeps.

Who know about Motorbikes?

by redz, 29-12-2017, 02:19 PM

as title, im looking at bikes to get to and from my new job. its not that far (about 10 miles) but there is always heavy traffic on a few stretches of road.

this combined with the fuel cost of the IS, i think it would actually pay for itself!

Ive been looking at the Yamaha YZF 125cc models as i can ride this after just doing the CBT.

anybody able to offer any advice?

Spacers

by iLLzLex, 29-12-2017, 12:38 PM

i was just wondering - i barely every see IS200 with standard wheels and spacers...i think this would give the car a better stance and a meaner look from the back (especially if its been slammed)...also another thing i discovered is that if you removed the rear mudguards (Oem plasticky things) the car looks wayyy better from the back as the wheels stick out, ofcourse its just imo but yeah...so why no spacers?

Michelin Pilot Sport PS3 tyres ordered

by Anees, 28-12-2017, 08:22 PM

Hi guys,

I need some new tyres for the Evo. The standard fit Yokohama C-Drive tyres are getting a bit low so after much research I have decided to go for a brand new set of just released Michelin Pilot Sport PS3 (the replacement for the PS2).

The Pilot Sport 3 is supposed to retain all the dry handling characteristics and performance of the current Pilot Sport 2 (which are amongst the best you can get), but significantly increases performance in the wet (to try to match and beat the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrics), especially its cornering ability in terms of outright grip and resistance to aquaplaning. Braking performance in the wet is supposed to be much better too. The graphic below gives an idea of the performance increase (taken from Michelin)



Bought a set of 235/45 ZR17 97Y XL from Camskill. I shall post a review once they are fitted

Audio upgrade in an S NOT an SE

by Phil01, 28-12-2017, 07:53 PM

Hi Guys,
I have an S grade 200 without premium sound system.
I took my head unit out and replaced it with a clarion mp3 radio/cd,
Once fitted the bass response was poor/non existent, when I had this clarion fitted in my MR2, and a corolla the bass produced was amazing, you could feel it.
So the question is why does it sound so tinny in my Lex, but great in other cars.
I wish to fit a double din HU but dont want to waste £200+ just to get c**p sound.
When I refitted original Hu the bass returned.
Does the S model have an amp and do I need amp by pass lead. Do not want to fit additional amp, sub etc, because the sound from OEM is very good and just needed a HU upgrade to play digital music files.
Help me please.
Phil
