Hi Guys,

I have brought myself another Lexus

I had one previously which can be seen here http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/sho...php?t=8334 and was a member of the site for a while and regretted it ever since I sold it!

So I managed to pick me up a nice Sport version, the shell has done 80k with FSH and the best part about it is the previous owner carried on driving it with a leaky rad and warped the head so it's had a new engine in which has done 18k, again with FSH Smile

I am very pleased with it the bodywork is literally mint I cannot find a mark or stone chip on it even so I am guessing it's been resprayed at some point but there is no tell tale signs so it is a professional job.

First step? Sort out the misty headlights.

Cheeky short shifter install, left over from my old IS.

As it stands
