Heya, new to the forum and new to Jap/Lexus

I picked up an is200 for £500 2 months tax but mot failure. Currently has 62k on the clock and is on a 99 plate.

failure sheet was

-nsf tyre below minimum tread depth

-front brake pads below 1.5mm

-nsf brake binding

-front (joint) exhaust has major leak of exhaust gasses

-exhaust emissions lambda reading after 2nd fast idle out of specified limits



advisories

-RBT front brake imbalance 25%

-nearside rear indicator slightly discoloured

-nearside front anti roll bar linkage slightly distorted

-offside front anti roll bar linkage slightly distorted

-rear exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gasses

-front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements. needs adjustment or repair

I'd ordered a load of new parts to get the car through Mot, and within the week had it booked in for a retest and it passed!

The car itself is a little tatty round the edges but i bought it as a daily driver and to tidy up

Lexarse Lights

im not a massive fan of lexus lights .. even on a lexus :facepalm: but had seen a few of the sxe10 crew cars and altezza's with either smoked, LED or red tail lights .. which got me thinking i had some paint left over from tinting the lights on the corsa

Take a set of standard lights

[Image: photo2.jpg]

scotch, mask and paint them

Lacquer and leave to cure

and fitted, looks much better imo

Can't go wrong for 500 quid! Good solid base for modifying, and more moneys for it too!
