Not new to Lexus's many years ago i owned a Altezza RS200 automatic, sold it in jan 2006 due to combination of high insurance & young age now im older insurance isnt too much a problem but finding a Altezza quite new/low miles as my IS200 is so i settled for this. since selling the Altezza i owned few cars in that time, a Mitsubishi Carisma, a Mazda 323F sport then a Corolla T-sport i sold last july 2010, i did look into buying a 04 Honda Accord, Legacy(hard to find), RX-8 (too many problems + bad bad oil, fiuel consumption now i know why there dead cheap) or a BMW 3 series, C-class, Golf GTi(bit too expensive) and even a IS300 good thing i didnt as i had chance of being redundent a year ago but instead it was in march 2011 luckily i found a job few months ago so i can slowly spend some treats to the car:drink:

Not really project car as i not done alot or alot left to do to it,
Eibach springs -30mm
Elegance front lip from lexus
Sport grille
Window visors
JDM rear plate holder
Honda S2000 antenna
Painted calipers w/ Lexus decal
TTE style rear lip spoiler from ebay
Cusco rear strut bar
front strut bar - cusco style
Additional anodised engine bay bolts
Air diversion plate
D1 radiator cap
Sickspeed marble effect gear knob
Wide angle rear view mirror

To come:
Greddy intake - bought just waiting delivery
Gold terminals - jst need fitting
Grounding kit from old car - jst ned fitting
Alpine stereo
Exhaust
Oil catch can
Poss fog/brake light conversion
Poss side skirts - gotta be genuine which means lots of £££££..

I upload pics of my past/present cars tomorow when i host them somewhere....
