Hi,
After looking round the IS200s, borrowing a six cylinder sport model from Lexus Edgware for the day, and test driving a "beams" engined import Altezza on 30000 miles, (210bhp) is that right? and four cylinders, dual vvti?
I have bought an S reg altezza first mot after import was Dec 2003, so info please if you would. The engine looks as big as the uk model, so I think I have the "AS200" model
1. So the sva has been sorted then, as it has its first mot, will this mean it will be ok on emissions every retest at end of year, or can the emissions keep fluctuating?
The seller of the Altezza stated that the clock had been readjusted to work in MPH.
He stated this, and I had to take his word for it.......Drove on motorway from south wales to Hemel Hempstead. The trip route fro rac.co.uk stated 141 miles, and I had reset the counter when I set off and it took "151" in total, so I guess that, yes it is adding up in mph rather than KPH.
What the seller did state in his sales advert/selling point, is that the caR WAS (UK) 53000 MILES.
When I got to look at the car, it reads in numbers on the odometer, but the numbers are reading "86000".....................................
So, he said that it has been recalibrated to show mph speeds(in order to know 70 on the dials is 70 mph etc).
But, he stated that since coming over from japan, the respected kph mileage of 86000, has not been rechamgerd on the digital odometer reader as a k/ph to m/ph reading. And if this was done, the car has only done 53000 miles since registration.
Is this correct, would I have a 86000 kilometres reading car that needs resetting to 53000 miles, or has the car actually done 86000 miles? (s would a kph to mph adjustment carry this out at the time?)
A few questions striaght off there then. but I love it, it definitely is the six cylinder import with the unmistakeable six cylinder purr under kickdown on the auto box.
Gold membership and LOC stickers hereI come.
Cheers guys.
