The £500 Lexus is200 - Danny w - 11-02-2021
Heya, new to the forum and new to Jap/Lexus
I picked up an is200 for £500 2 months tax but mot failure. Currently has 62k on the clock and is on a 99 plate.
failure sheet was
-nsf tyre below minimum tread depth
-front brake pads below 1.5mm
-nsf brake binding
-front (joint) exhaust has major leak of exhaust gasses
-exhaust emissions lambda reading after 2nd fast idle out of specified limits
advisories
-RBT front brake imbalance 25%
-nearside rear indicator slightly discoloured
-nearside front anti roll bar linkage slightly distorted
-offside front anti roll bar linkage slightly distorted
-rear exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gasses
-front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements. needs adjustment or repair
I'd ordered a load of new parts to get the car through Mot, and within the week had it booked in for a retest and it passed!
The car itself is a little tatty round the edges but i bought it as a daily driver and to tidy up

Lexarse Lights
im not a massive fan of lexus lights .. even on a lexus :facepalm: but had seen a few of the sxe10 crew cars and altezza's with either smoked, LED or red tail lights .. which got me thinking i had some paint left over from tinting the lights on the corsa
Take a set of standard lights

scotch, mask and paint them

Can't go wrong for 500 quid! Good solid base for modifying, and more moneys for it too!
