  1. im not even going to comment.thats should say alot. ..........and i know
  2. you cannot, it was fabricated especially as a one off
  3. what i can say......... over the last 9 months, there has been a new IS model undergoing tests in Belgium, what i may be able to tell you is this car is currently in TTE. what i can also tell you is, there are no plans to put the is430 into production as the future trend of Lexus vehicles will not be for a sporty image................... however what i may be able to tell you is.....that v6 motors and 4 wheel drive has been tested at the nurenburg ring in germany, and that the is430 project was to test the engines capabilitys within the chassis..... the next IS has a very similer chassis layout :whistles:
  4. couple more pics taken after the road run yesterday pic 1 Pic of Car outside..after short jaunt 1 pic 2 Pic of rear of car outside
  5. forgot to add............went on a little jolly yesterday, about 6 miles(on trade plates) it drove remarkebly well, only problem is the ETCS.have to push the accelerator to the floor to get it to rev, but it got to a sprightly 100mph, before realising that a. non street legal race car, painted matt black and dayglo orange b. public highway and amazed other road users wasnt a good idea as the car is much lighter now(about 400kg), AND MUCH LOWER AND STIFFER!!! the steering is so crisp and responsive, the handling is........well pretty dam amazing, however, i am a little concerned with the brakes......there too dam good now. as the car is lighter, it doesnt take much to get them to (lock) activate the ABS and it sounds pretty good......

  17. i can get you the TRD ones from either the UK or from TTE :whistles: IF you order the TRD from the UK it wont cost as much as ordering from the US, the shipping and then import tax is very high from the US to germany, there is no import tax from UK to Germany drop me a pm if you want to know more....... or even give us a call, Redneck is at my house now.so he will be able to explain better i will drop you a PM with my home number now mat
  18. The original was built by TTE, they have now managed to supercharge it..... obviously my next business trip to TTE in the new year will involve another test drive now the s/c is fitted
  19. its cost a little, but it pays having the contacts in the right places ;)
  20. The sway bars will fit Phonedrome, as will the TRD yellows or reds i have the TRD yellows and rate them highly
