Gave up !

by Saraj, 26-11-2017, 04:03 AM

Well not been on for a while, been doing overtime again 12-16 hour days for the last two weeks

But the cold made me give up this morning, got to the m-way, and my heater was still not working, and the car started to overheat, checked coolant seemed ok, but took it back home and put more in, and loads of anti freeze, but still no difference

probally all the pipes are frozen or something, so given up going in for overtime today.

oh well

Advice of fitting an Aftermarket Stereo to IS200 S Model

by Purvesh, 25-11-2017, 04:56 PM

Hi guys wondering if you guys would be able to lend some advice.

My cousin has a V reg S IS200 and wants to fit his 'Ripspeed' headunit in place of the original (I know some of you will say don't do it with that headunit - but each to there own! :Fish

http://gallery.xpowerforums.com/data/500...006101.JPG

He's asked me to help him and I said I'll get some advice before we tackle it. So firstly I need to order a bezel to fit a single din headunit.. which is the best one to go for?

Secondly, I assume being an S model it doesn't have an amp behind the glove box, so which ISO lead do I need? and where do I attach it... Are there any other bits I need?

Your help is much appreciated!

My IS.

Ok not nearly as special as some of the other cars on here but I love it all the same and it's getting there slowly:biggrin: when I 1st started looking for an IS I never wanted a project but:

Ok bought in Feb 2007 from Oldham and the 1st thing noticable was it's been in a bump, the bonnet, o/s wing, front bumper and bootlid where a different shade from the rest of the car, also the front bumper was(is) off a Sportcross and it had(has) smoked rear lights from later models even though it's a 99 plate, the most noticable thing was the front end though the grille on the drivers side was about 2" further back than the other side, now your probably wondering why I bought it well it's because it had only done 74k and mechanically was mint but due to the damage it was also cheap.

1st job done on the car was repair the front end and bring it back into alignment which was done after about 3 weeks before that on the day I got it I did have to re-programme the key but got help on that from Stav over on LOC when it was a nice place to be, thanks again for that mate:biggrin:

Since then i've had the whole front end re-sprayed, the bootlid and rear bumper re-sprayed so the cars is all the same colour, i've had the wheels re-furbed changed numerous bulbs inside and had a new a/c control unit because I broke one messing about with it:blushing:

I've also fitted a new carpet because the one in it was destroyed.

Since then i've fitted 6000K HID's, LED 501 sides, Xenon main and fogs, led number plate bulbs and chrome rear indicators.

More noticable mods are the raised boot spoiler with LED brake light, sport grille with re-located horns, painted plastic covers in the engine bay and the pipercross induction kit that Chris(Bandit) gave me thanks again mate, I have since extended the kit with a piece of chrome pipe again off Chris Cheers mate this was basically to take the filter away from the manifold and into the cooler air, next I need to get a direct cold air feed but that's on the wanted list, ivealso painted the calipers blue with silver decals.

I also had to fit a new head unit with an amp by-pass lead because of ERR3 so it now has a Sony head unit.

I currently have some genuine TRD side skirts sat in the cupboard all painted and ready to fit but due to the weather can't get them on yet and i'm waiting on a set of 40mm lowering springs which still have not arrived again due to the weather, I have an original saloon front bumper off Stav thanks again matey which is waiting to be re-sprayed and fitted.

The wanted list is much longer than the done list and inc. coilcovers eventually, 18's eventually and maybe one day a Supercharger but that's a very long way off at the moad:

Like I said not really a proper project when compared with the engine swaps, and S/C's and stuff but i'm really proud of my IS I bought it in a state but with alot of TLC I think it's looking pretty tidy.

That's all I can think of for now but i'm sure there's more:confused1:

Updates will follow just how many will depend on finances tho:laugh:

Soz for boring you and thanks for looking:biggrin:

Google Nexus One (new mobile phone)

by steviewevie, 25-11-2017, 09:46 AM

Google linky

BBC linky

So, what does everyone think ? The phone is, unsuprisingly, built by HTC, and runs Android.

It'll be interesting to see if Google's marketing can really help it take off, after all, Google is a very big name.

Wish my phone had the faster Snapdragon processor that the Nexus One has, but I still like my slide-out keyboard.

Can you help?

by Lexusboy, 25-11-2017, 06:08 AM

This is the time of year that you must think of others.
With very bad forecast thoughout the country, heavy snow in settled in most area's

Do you have disabled or old neighbours that could do with you asking them if they need any shopping.
Some my have mobility scooters that can not get through the snow.
Think how awkward walking is for you some of these people maybe more unstable than most of us, should they fall can they raise them selves up.

Please go knock on there doors to check that they are ok
.:thumbup:

This i promise will make you feel that your done a good deed even if they are ok...

Change of car, maybe???

by Demon, 24-11-2017, 06:35 PM

Hi Everyone,

As some of you know i have been thinking of changing my car for a little while and i am properly thinking about it alot more now.

As most of you know im going into hospital for a heart operation at the end of this month/start of feb and while im in my car is going up to TGT to have a few things sorted. New front ball joint, wheel bearing etc

Now what im thinking is this will be the perfect time to get rid of the car as i will pretty much be house bound so won't need the car. Don't get me wrong i love the car to bits but after getting more involved with the Demon i just don't enjoy the lex as much as i used to. This is only my second car and you never know i may be back in a lex in the future. Its getting old now and its done nearly 150k and this is another reason for maybe getting rid. Plus the fuel is just crippling me, i am spending about £70 a week just getting to and from work.

I have been looking at a few cars and i really am in love with...................waits for the hairdresser comments..........the mk1 mx5 hock: I know most people see them as girly cars and to be honest in standard form they do look like that. But with a few mods they can look fantastic in my opinion.

Of cousre Sarah aint happy as she loves the Lex but she can see why i want to change. After her accident i just can't afford to insure her on my car otherwise i could drive her 1.0 litre yaris during the week and my lex at the weekends.

I have had a liitle look and i think i can sell my lex and end up with quite a tidy, low mileage MX5. Not too sure what one as there is a 1.6 and a 1.8 litre engine. I nedd to reduce my fuel costs so i may go for the 1.6. Plus i will be using it for a bit of track action and maybe a bit of drift also :Fish:

There are some amazingly cheap parts for them also and i have fell in love with a kit that just transforms the look of the car to look like a baby cobra, its really expensive but i love it. will find some pics now.

What do people think of the MX5, i know what most people will say but you never know.
