I'll apologise now for the tapatalk app killing the picture quality but here we go. I got some new exhaust tips put on the back end and got rid of the towing bracket. The rear bumper was also hanging down so tied that back up. I've also now gotten a front table! Sent from the Netherlands Friday and was here the next Monday. How things can travel here over two non working days yet our post system can't even get a letter across a city without it taking a week is beyond me lol. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Indeed it is. If you frequent my build thread over the next few months you may see why :) Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Thank you so much mate appreciate it :) Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

So they're 3 inch wide? By depth did you mean from the tip back towards where the standard tailpipe is? And was the 50 1/4inch measurement from the outer edges of each tip? Thanks again :) Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Ah brilliant thank you for that, Is that from the outside edges of each exhaust? Thanks in advance EDIT how wide are the tips themselves? Sorry to be a pain I should have included that in the first post but I forgot, my bad [emoji28]

Would an is250 owner be able to do me a favour? Wondering what the measurements for the rear end Are? Specifically the distance between the exhaust pipes? Hoping someone has some spare time and a tape measure. An exhaust to exhaust measurement from the outer edges would be great. Thanks fellow lex owners! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Sorry guys wrong forum. Meant to put this in the 2nd gen one. Can be locked or deleted if needed Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Nearly all aftermarket wheels require tapered nuts. Standard nuts are flat washer based Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Rough idle can be many things. Maybe the maf sensor needs cleaning, a vacuum line hasn't been put back on properly etc etc. Your better asking in the dedicated LS forums though. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The hardest part is carefully dissassembling the ashtray unit itself, but if you have patience and take photos as you go so you know how it goes back together you should be okay. Good luck!

This is just a bit of a mishmash of pictures but hopefully you can see what the issue usually is. You need to basically add in a bit of new wire to replace this one. this happened to both my front and rear lighter

Common problem is that there is a small wire on the back that deteriorates. Requires you to take the ashtray unit out to repair Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Have been trying to reply to this for a few days now but it seems the Tapatalk app is no longer working properly on my phone so had to wait for an opportunity to use my laptop. In regards to the above comments, I have two grills in the shed now, one with a silver badge and one with a gold. Not sure if I'd like to put either on yet but at least I have the option 🙂 The other thing to say was that practice definitely makes perfect on a lot of things. the first set of indicators that I removed the orange part from was definitely a learning experience, and from this I have managed to do a second set with much better results, see image below. The bottom set were the first ones, seen by the rubber seal being damaged and being able to see the cuts made. At least the top ones you wouldnt know unless you were getting too close to the car 😉

Those lace covers look in brilliant condition! and that table is very similar to what I'm after, except I'd like the 2 drinks cup and 2 phone holder on mine. Would you mind pm'ing me a full guide/instruction set on what to do and who I'd need to contact. Also are they able to get hold of other things from breakers yards in Japan? That would be very helpful if you could mate

Thanks, thats the look I;m currently going for. By Yahoo Japan do you mean noppin? there are a million things I'd like to buy off there but havent had the chance to do some full research on how to properly purchase off it as of yet. I asked a member of another group about getting hold of a table but they seem to be very slow at replying at the moment and its becoming quite frustrating. If you're able to send me a guide or a talk through of what you do, that would be much appreciated!!

Over the past few days, for those who have instagram, may have seen a couple of additions to the interior, mainly some neck pads and a wood shifter. But the weekend just gone gave an opportunity to fit my Sunstrip which had arrived, and also to take it to a local meet/show. I was surprised to see on social media over the next few days the a few people had given it a small photoshoot 🙂 one of my friends took a few pictures of it for me anyway, but I will add the pictures I found of it also Those two were my request from a friend. The following are from strangers, which is always flattering!

So after a few days wait it seems the website is now allowing me to upload the images I previously wanted to show you. I ordered some OEM gatling/multi lens projectors from the land of the rising sun! These are what will be holding the main headlight bulb. As these are an OEM item from a country with RHD cars, the cut off for the lights should be fine moving forward. One of them was missing the retaining clips and surround for the bulb, but managed to create a new one from the donor headlights. And this was one of the first very basic temporary mock ups 🙂 Apologies for the side ways pic, but this is pretty much what the headlights will be looking like when they are complete, there is only a couple more things to add to the lights themselves, but this is how the final unit will essentially sit. And to top it off for "show headlights" I added demon eyes! These will be on a different switch and only for use in shows as of course its illegal to have a red light at the front of a vehicle except for the emergency services. So thats pretty much been the side project for the '400 over the past few months and the finish line is (sort of) in sight!

Whilst that looks quite handy I'd prefer to keep these ones, as they're metal and can swap them with my normal plates just as easy Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

In response to earlier I forgot to mention I have got a sunstrip on the way that's got Lexus in Japanese on it [emoji41] But what do you mean about led strips? I'm quite handy with those, did you mean put some behind the grill? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Might not leak to the floor. Might be pooling somewhere. Brake fluid strips paint so look on the insides of your wheels or engine bay. As said above brake fluid doesn't need topping. You must have a leak allowing air in and fluid out. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Filling in the space that's left by the badge is difficult, that's why when looking closely at mine you can see it's not completely flat. Moving the badge to another part of the grill means I'd still have to fill the gap in again. I've been keeping an eye out for a properly made plain grill, but not luck. Cheapest new one comes to around £400 including post, which is something I'm definitely not willing to pay out for lol. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Bought it from a Facebook group, if you go on eBay you can get a set made up for around 15-20 quid Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Thanks for the comments guys :) there was no club stand or group stand I was in, I was just in the individual display, which got me into the grounds. I have still got the old grille with the badge and I've got another on it's way with the gold badge (got it for a bargain price so why not). May have a play around and see if I change my mind, but I like the fact that very few people know what car it Is, having the front badges gives them hints [emoji14] The weather was indeed fantastic and I think next year with a bit more planning involved think it would be a lovely day out to have an LS stand for us all Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
