  1. 7.5 front 8.5 rear and you will not need to modify anything
  2. they are very nice but I am not sure the lip color would suit every car
  3. I don't know, I have only seen 1 on Lexus used cars website with grey leather and it looked superb. I did not even know it has been produced in this color until I see the picture
  4. thanks :) , I have just found this very interesting website : http://www.toyotareference.com/#IS
  5. Yes that's quite right First Letter = Engine family XE = Platform -1 = First generation 0 = RWD 5 = AWD so that makes GXE-10 = 1G-FE engine = Toyota Altezza AS200 / Lexus IS200 GXE-15 = 1G-FE engine = Toyota Altezza AS200 Gita AWD SXE-10 = 3S-GE engine = Toyota Altezza RS200 SXE-15 = 3S-GE engine = Toyota Altezza RS200 Gita AWD It appears that the chassis code for the IS300 is not following the standard chassis naming. It should be (and it appears with this scheme on some documents) JZXE-10 = 2JZ-GE engine = Toyota Altezza AS300 / Lexus IS300 JZXE-15 = 2JZ-GE engine = Toyota Altezza AS300 Gita AWD but the most used code (even used in workshop manuals) is JCE-10 = 2JZ-GE engine = Toyota Altezza AS300 / Lexus IS300 JCE-15 = 2JZ-GE engine = Toyota Altezza AS300 Gita AWD
  6. get a Linksys one, good stuff and not that expensive
  7. and JZXE10/JCE10 for the IS300 with the 2JZ-GE engine ;)
  8. I have 2 kits from eBay on mine aswell, no complaints so far. They are cheap chinese kits, they cost me 150€ so about £100 each one year ago and never had any problem with them, they come with complete harness, no modification to do. it is plug and play. To be honest, the Hi beams are quite useless, the low beams with HID are has powerfull has standard hi beams and when I turn the hi beams on, every plate and road sign become so bright that it is nearly better to have them off.
  9. if you want to "slam" it you should go for coilovers
  10. Wether there is interference or not, it never is good for an engine to experience a belt break. I don't think it is overpriced, I had mine changed by Lexus for 600€ while Peugeot charged me 800€ for my 405 £400 every 5 years is not much IMO. here is the page of the manual that shows the piston heads.
  11. from the workshop repair manuals I have, the design is non interference type
  12. just a bulb. To release the housing, pull the rear up then slide it toward the window.
  13. Vista is far better than XP as long as you have a recent computer (less than 1 year) But go for Vista Ultimate, don't bother with other versions as they lack functionnalities that you may need at some point and upgrading from Home to Ultimate is not cheap
  14. No every standard IS200 is :shutit: . To be honest, I think Alfa Romeo does great cars. The interiors are really nice even more on the 16x model, the engine performance is quite good, the design is very dynamic. Only downside is that it has been bought by FIAT years ago and since then reliability has just moved closer to FIAT standards every year :(
  15. should be possible but not with the TTE ones there is not enough space I don't see what would be the gain of having 2 SC on the IS engine, on a V10 or V12 allright but one is enough to feed a 6 cylinder engine
  16. I can't the 6, I have to vote for a new president but I would definately like to come
  17. I am in aswell as long as it is not a week-end where I am in France :)
  18. Happened to me when parked near a radio antenna due to frequencies interferences
  19. I did not even know that they make disks
