    As above coated car with Gtechniq C1, cats been on the bonnet would it be save to machine polish them out.

    You need tyres with a rim protector on.

    Glad your all sorted, cars can be a mistery sometimes. Not a bad price for the stat.

    Fans only come on when the air cons on. You could try taking cap off expansion bottle, and run car upto temp. You may have an air lock, Squeeze the pipe at top of rad.

    Sounds like a stuck thermastat, or i believe they have a heater control behind the dash. Some body with more knowledge may know different.

    I think morimoto are the fitting the bulbs go into. You can buy them for none xenons and convert to Xenon.

    I think if you buy injectors, they have to be coded by a dealer or somebody with the lexus toyota program techstream.

    I always do this no brake squeal , also helps pads slide on caliper bracket.

    That means they are alined properly, Issue will be bulbs mate. I would not be tempted to put 55watt bulbs in, 35 watt Xenons are what is fitted at the factory. A guy at work fitted an aftermarket Hid kid of 55 Watts. It melted the headlights went all yellow inside.

    Good luck with the car , she looks a stunner. Hope she serves you as well as the Lexus. You will have to keep us informed.
  11. madasahatter
    Did you put copper slip on back of pads, and on the brake pads where they go into the sliders. Just a little dab.
  12. madasahatter
    No do the light beams go up then down and settle in the middle. If they are original Xenons, they should do this cycle on start up.
  13. madasahatter
    That is the power of decent bulbs, spread is about right. When you start the vehicle with lights on, do they go through a cycle.
  14. madasahatter
    Ebc Redstuff are utter rubbish, sent some pads back which had left the backing. When i enquired what was happening they had lost them. After a load of emails and calls, offered me new ones which i declined. No refund given then said id run them in wrong. I would never buy any of there products, or recomend them either. But others will love them so each to your own.
  15. madasahatter
    I agree with Cracksta, maybe the bulbs are degrading. They dont last indefinetly, and i would think twice about 55watt. They may melt the headlight.

    Welcome to the forum . Looks very tidy mate, a good wash does wonders eh.
  17. madasahatter
    You are right no extra horses, just a jerkier upshift. Seems a divided split may be people dont know the buttons there. Or just never tried it. I think it also holds the revs to the red line. But not sure as seems pointless, but its each to their own.

    Yes i have been using the snow mode, i work in a bus yard lot of diesel spill on the slope out. Im on winter tyres as well once out of the yard just change to D. thought id read you use it, I have used it a few times and the car does have a turn of speed. Have used paddles, and gear lever for changing. But getting lazy now.
  19. madasahatter
    Am i right saying it just gets on with things quicker. Saves kicking down when you touch the throttle. It seems to be instant,responce. Snow mode is the complete opposite.
  20. madasahatter
    Think Normski uses his all the time. Have tried it and defo works, i just prefer it in d to be honest.
  21. madasahatter
    Yes where do they get there price from? Stainless steel can be picked up for far less, admitted they are a bit louder than stock. Unless you have one made up and specify a quiet one. But then you lose the extra horse power by restricting it.
  22. madasahatter
    Well thats a big expence how do they justify that price. at that it should out live the car. I know what you mean about aftermarket but it seems the only option.
  23. madasahatter
    I know bad winters have a bearing on life, but exhausts also rot from the inside. Did you think it would of lasted longer. Did you have to purchase the new one from lexus. What was the cost, can you remember. Or did you go after market??
  24. madasahatter
    As above what is the life of a stanard exhaust. Just wondered as they are not a cheap item to purchase. Have seen the odd one for sale, but dont look like they have much life in them to be honest.
  25. madasahatter
    Do you have a broken rear shock. The centre consol speaker is a known fault, with a how to fix on the forum.
