I mentioned above I have some new, plain number plates to go on, today I got round to putting them on amongst some other jobs...……….. took the old plate off, was confronted by this. FFS!
So after some swearing, about half a gallon of white spirit, a hair dryer, lots of elbow grease, the...
100% silver on your car buddy...…… I wouldn't say that because of my car, honest!
That photo above makes me want to put the Turini's back on!! Ummmm………..
Yes the 3.0 would be awesome (well, much better!) but again it would be pointless for what I use the car for myself. Regards the auto box, to be honest it isn't amazing, it's smooth but i'm used to a 6 speed auto on my Jaguar and this is only 4 speed so it feels like its straining more and I do...
I agree, great read with the track evening and detailed notes on the parts fitted etc...…….. as you said, it's a nice record of what's been done to look back on and also for others to read too!
I know what you mean there, I really like the black IS myself, but it's not my thing to do it to mine. Maybe i'm just not cool enough to rock that look!? However yes with mine, i'll be going for my usual oem+ look. The US spec car is exactly what I really want mine to look like, standard wheels...
Parts are slowly coming in, Eibach Pro spacers arrived today (direct from Germany) so are now here and ready to be fitted soon;
I also have the replacement genuine wheel centres - they are actually a lot more 'flash' than what was on the car already and are much better quality to be...
I went and got some photos of the car as it stands yesterday to hopefully look back on and see the changes, these much better show the work that's needed to make this look a bit more decent - i'm the first to say this car is not in such 'mint' condition as my Jaguar, it's had some paint and it's...
I often think it's the little details that count sometimes and here is a classic example......... the locking wheel nuts currently on the car are the most awful looking brown rust crap I've seen, so for the sake of 30 quid new from Toyota, these are good to go;
I also have new centre caps...
Hahaha I like it........ but no mate! I think someone's been playing too much Need For Speed yooo ??
National Trust Spec, LOL! I like that.............. yes I've actually been looking at grilles! The Altezza one does look very smart I agree and I do like it BUT I don't want to de-badge the...
So this is the look i'm going for, this car from the USA has Eibach Pro hubcentric spacers all round, 15mm front and 20mm rear, and is lowered on I believe Eibach Pro Kit springs - if it's not these springs, these are the ones that most people seem to recommend anyway! The spacers just push the...
Very nice! Yes i'd have been interested in the 3 litre version (211bhp isn't it?) but they seem rarer than a rare thing both old nails AND minters and would have been silly going from a 3 litre to a 3 litre lol!
The Jag is a fantastic car for the money that I agree mate yes, I know i'll miss it when it's gone - it's an effortless mile muncher with a huge spec - despite the handling of a bouncy castle! It's certainly not a car you could throw around (as standard anyway) but the 240bhp from the 3 litre V6...
Thanks guys, I knew the 3310 would get some love!! ?
Photos soon Jon hopefully at the weekend! @massivewangers
Oh and @flebay , brilliant!! Someone told me about Alan Partridge but never seen it myself, that first video LOL!!
So here goes, I've never done a thread for one of my daily cars before because (a) they've been factory original so not much to say anyway and (b) all my time and effort has gone into my Clio thread!
However, that said.......... I've just bought a new daily, a 2005 Lexus IS 200 that I actually...
Very impressed with that mate, very neat especially all around the engine bay, some of these installs you see *facepalm* ........... how on earth you know what your doing!! My speakers/all audio was professionally fitted at great expense lol!
Those 90 degree connectors are very smart, we've...
