@PhilEFT If you're after a manual with cheaper tax then you need '55 or early '06 plate cars. My mate is selling his IS250, around 110,000miles, black on black, sat nav M&L car, automatic. Think he's after around 2500-3000.. Had it for years, just upgraded to something with folding rear seats. -
Test Driving an RC
H3XME replied to CorkVilla's topic in Lexus RC Owners Club / RC 200t / RC 300h Club
145,000km / 90,000miles isn't concerning at all. Especially if it's been serviced every year by the main dealer.. 10k/year for a 8-9 year old car is average. Don't forget that you need to look at it as IS300h etc. Taxis around with 300k+ miles. You will be fine, but I would obviously expect the price to reflect on the mileage, despite the mileage not necessarily being an indicator of the its condition. Well maintained car with lots of miles > poorly maintained car with low miles. -
It will be fine.. They're coilovers. Everything is the same, same brand, same preload, same spring rates. Once that one settles in, there should be no inbalance.

New Lexus IS250 Owner Seeking Advice on Front Bumper Repair
H3XME replied to MS08's topic in Modifications & Tuning
You can buy these bumper brackets.. They sell metal ones to stop it from hanging. https://www.maclifterkit.co/collections/lexus-is250-350/products/mlk-is250-350-2006-13-front-bumper-gap-reducer -

Clutch has started to slip... Which Flywheel should i get?
H3XME replied to MrTrendizzle's topic in Engine & Transmission
I wouldn't count on it.. depends on use. My clutch was done at 140k and the DMF was fine to re-use.. no heat spots or anything. There are no OE replacements for DMF unfortunately, so SMF is the "cost effective" way, but it's crap. It makes a big difference.. Even I wouldn't go for SMF in this car. @MrTrendizzle I used Exedy Clutch kit and kept OEM DMF, so check with the garage about the condition of the DMF or see for yourself if you know what you're doing. -
You regretting the purchase yet? By the time you're done fixing the issues, you could've had a very nice SE-L with lowish miles.😅

Lasts 100,000miles.. if you cut corners then you’ll end up with the same car you picked up

Sounds like he's sh!t and unsure of his sexuality if he can't even say "pink coolant" 🤣

Pothole at some speed will do that. Your alignment is out, so that's gonna be another £60-100 for that. There isn't a whole lot adjustable on these cars, so there will be something bent slightly if you have Toe in.. on the front of the car you want toe to be 0 or ~2mm out for some fun driving better turn in.
-
Reasonable I mean it's not awful these days.. but £70 for a coil swap is ridiculous. Jack up the front of the car, and swap the fronts. Don't do just one, it will be awful. Different spring rates, compression etc. Fronts are easier to do than the rears. Bring it to me and I'll do both fronts for you for £50 🤣

and if you're really lucky you won't have to pay anything even on higher value orders. They don't check every single parcel. I paid nothing on my £400 tail lights from japan
-
Amayama is good.. it's all stocked in UAE & Japan so not exactly next day delivery, but it's a lot cheaper than the main dealer.. I was just looking at something for my Mark X the other day.. £18.52 from Amayama and the dealer in the UK wanted £81 lol
-
Yeah, but your error isn't stopping you from driving. When the pump sh!ts itself, you won't drive at all
-
Lol, sounds like your mechanic is a replacer, not a fixer. Change your water pump while the rad is out..

Hi James, is your manual or auto? I might potentially be looking for a cheap manual to use as a road legal drift car
