Hey guys,

Thought I better do a little blog on my car as I'm a new OJC member, but had my lex since Oct 2007!!

Shes a 2001 plate with 118,000 on the clock but drives like new Smile.

Since joining the site around a month ago its encouraged me to take a it more pride in my card and I've also got the mod bug Wink.

Heres a few pics of her taken this morning, after washed using meguairs gold class shampoo, then polish using AG SRP then triplewax fast waxed.

To do:

Fan washers you can pick up from Lexus for about £22 :thumbup:

How about stainless steel dials for the dash? Fantastic looking modification and easy enough to fit, even I managed it...
[Image: IMAG0135.jpg]

And if you cough up the cash to become an Outlaw, you too become eligible for that most exclusive of mods, the Moley Bars... :wink:

IS200 Sport - Sold
Mazda 6 MPS - Zoom Zoom!

Modifications
Completed:

Currently 280bhp/295lbft; 3" Meercat custom exhaust; KW Suspension; FMIC; SSP; HPFP; Custom Stainless Steel Dials - for the moment, the only set in the world!! (Till the group buy for MPSOC anyway :lol: )

In Progress:

E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake

Big Grin Don't worry, it's not a mod very many people will know about, cos they're pretty much exclusive to this club...

Moley is a welder by trade, and he makes these for Outlaws when he has time, for a donation to the club funds plus a few quid to cover the P&P. They replace the thin flexy OEM bars with these very tough very strong ones...
[Image: IMG019-1.jpg]

Here they are fitted to Ormi's car (They're red, behind the rear ARB)
[Image: p0404101339.jpg]

So as you can see they are a pretty exclusive mod :wink:
