Hando's New Is

[IS300]

Looks nice mate :)

ENJOY !! :D :D

[Parthiban]

I'd really like to do a carputer on this one - but I'd want it through the sat nav screen and the Video-Aux-in that Scarface used seems to have been a one-off unlikely to be repeated.

There's a company called NAV TV that do a device that lets you add video sources to the standard nav screen. I'm not sure where you are in London, but my nearest dealer was an audio dealer in Park Royal called Auto Audio - I spoke to them a year ago about having it installed but haven't had any time to do anything about it yet!

If you do go for it, I'd be interested to see how it all actually works

Glad things all worked out, the new car's looking great - bet that 300 feels great!

Update: 18" TTE Chicanes are on with nice new Pirelli PZero Nero's all round.

(thanks to Chris S. for sorting out a replacement rim for me after I found out one of mine had a fracture)

Sorry for the quality - pics were taken with my phone.

Cheers Jamie - yeah I managed to snaffle them from my previous IS whilst it was waiting for the insurers to declare it a write-off.

The TRD front lip, side skirts and TTE rear skirt totally transform the car! Looks much better. :)

I think you know whats coming, but it BADLY needs to be lowered now - the gap between the wheel arcs is just too much! :P I feel an Eibach Pro-kit is your next port of call

and then 35% rear and 50% front tints

and then...... ;) (it never ends)

[Gord]

Looks nice mate, i just love the TRD + TTE kits for the Lexus :D

Oh dear ..... it's like Deja Vu for me ......... I can't take it anymore, I'm going to cry now

I know I know! - Eibach's next on the list :)

Rears are already tinted so will just get the fronts to match.

Cheers Gord - it was Chris S.'s car that I first saw with that combo (+TTE rims) and I set my heart on it.

I so woulda had yours when you sold it - just that funds didn't allow at the time.

Tell you what: go buy Mr. Singh's Tezza now - that'll cheer you up!

[Hando]

Been a while since there's been anything to update. Have sorted (bypassed) stereo ERR3 by adding the gromaudio and ipod and fitted Nokia Bluetooth with stereo playback and mute via the autoleads loom.

...and then 35% rear and 50% front tints...

Your wish is my command :winky:

Tints done at Autoshades as per Aquanuke's reccomendation - they've done a really good job - matched the factory tint really well. (excuse poor pics only had camera phone)

..and before anyone makes any jokes about tractors or 4x4's - the eibach springs go on next month! (or I might wait a bit longer until the Dr. is in his new sparkly surgery.)

[Parthiban]

Car's looking fantastic mate, once you've had it lowered I think it'll be spot on, wouldn't mess about with the exterior anymore than that imo! :D

[dazz32]

Sweet looking motor you have there mate....ive got the full TRD body kit and it defo makes the car look alot better.....

Of topic let me know what the Pirelli P zero nero`s are like as a tyre.... :D

[Rikos]

Cars looking really good mate look forward to seeing it lowered.

Whats after that then......

[Vyker]

I want your car!

[aquanuke]

[sparkystav]

Stav

[Hando]

Cheers for all the kind words guys. I'm beginning to get this one how I want it :)

after lowering: it'll be a while before any big mods but next on the big list is induction, zaust and I've got my heart set on some Advan Model 5's (but that might mean winning the lottery ;))

dazz, I really rate the zero nero's - they're not cheap but they're the best tyres I've had yet.

Hallo fella,

Good work with the tints, certainly look the part :)

Hope they last with regards to the fuzz - there are many more important crimes that could be attended to instead of tints etc.

smart motor mate, nice one.

Hey mate - saw your thread about the charged 300 - sounds fantastic - well done!

Have ordered the TTE/Eibach springs already fraid - but might well have the induction kit off you - lemme consult the funds (and 'er indoors) and I'll get back to you.

Cheers for the offer! :)

[Hando]

Been a long time since I updated this with any info - that's partly because credit crunch + 2 small kids does not equal much cash for mods...

Also with all these fantastic big projects going on at the mo it seems silly to come on and shout about what are really small things.

However I've been doing bits'n'bobs and I'm rapidly becoming the Womble of LOC (making good use of the things that I find.) Did a spring clean today so thought I'd post some pics of some new bits.

Slightly dirty engine bay with K&N typhoon (thanks Roop) and rad panel (thanks Steve D)

Smoked Side repeaters (thanks Rolex) with clear LED lights

Original (non silent) HKS Hipower zaust (thanks Stav)

[Hando]

And some general shots cos its clean for once :)

[Mr Mole]

That is looking very good mate !!!

Thats a very clean car you have there , and good to see some pics also.
