New To Lexus ownership

[Gldnandy]

Hi, just thought I would drop in and say hi. i recently bought my IS300 sportcross 2001 from a friend. Loving driving it so far, It has a few mods that it came with mostly a coilover kit, custom front end (not sure who made it) grp carbon wrapped bonnet and the nice alloys. Not had any issues other than it developed an intermittent missfire today after being started up after 2 weeks standing. after a good run it seems to be fine. still got original lexus sound system in it althought 6cd changer no longer plays.

Hi Andrew, welcome. Certainly a stand-out Sportcross you got there!

The 6CD charger, well they all break eventually. I'm pretty sure there is a thread here somewhere how to fix it; me I just dug out all my old cassettes from the loft. The only time my IS caused me some concern (tempting fate!) was after a similar two week stand and it ran rough until I restarted it. Hardly has a rest otherwise.

Living in Flintshire, you have some cracking roads on your doorstep which the IS loves. If you've got the cash for the fuel that is!

Hi Andrew and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer left over.

We always like to see pictures of members cars.

We recommend you spend a couple of mins looking over the rules of the LOC, we will be asking questions later.

Thanks Glyn, i had a toyota avensis before this (old shape) so its mostly a step up and loving it so far, body has some blemishes but not bad for 15+ years old.

Thanks Mike. i mostly joined for technical help as i have found owners clubs to be very helpful in the past (Former long term AOC member) and to be good communities to share stories/knowledge with
