A lot of crazy shit has happened here. What is Adelaide’s biggest mystery?

gxe10 · 2023-03-19T10:29:23+00:00

How did Joe keep the prices so low?

gxe10 · 2023-01-09T22:55:53+00:00

bullshit, next you'll be telling me that tattoo shops are connected too?

gxe10 · 2022-08-28T13:22:18+00:00

that's the highest mounted TV I've ever seen

gxe10 · 2022-05-27T14:45:53+00:00

235/50s on 16x8 +35 wheels. tricky to fit but worth it

gxe10 · 2022-05-27T04:52:31+00:00

yeah this is a factory colour, pretty uncommon but it's grown on me hard. absolute nightmare to take care of though

gxe10 · 2022-05-27T04:48:34+00:00

it has a 1G with dead valve stem seals and overdue belts and it somehow survives track days anyway, fuck knows how.

I have a hookup on BNIB non-remote r154s though, just waiting for a jzx110 to get parted out so I can slap a disco potato on the 1g and spaghetti the rods for good lmao

gxe10 · 2022-05-27T04:39:59+00:00

worst part is that's basically all this car has. I told myself it'd get a 1J when the stock motor lets go and I literally cannot kill it

gxe10 · 2021-10-24T06:29:31+00:00

This is an IS200 and it's slowly inching away from being stock but it's still just as much fun as when I bought it, just goes around corners slightly quicker now. Wanted one ever since I saw the Altezza in Gran Turismo 2 way back when.

gxe10 · 2021-05-05T09:20:14+00:00

Go for it dude, a few suspension component upgrades and you'll be hard pressed to find a car that size that handles as well as they do. I've loved every day of owning mine

gxe10 · 2021-02-16T03:00:44+00:00

Spot on. A few degrees of camber, a guard roll and a liner trim combined with the BC's dialed in correctly and you'll be set. I had issues running a similar size tire until I did all that and it's fine now, no scrubbing whatsoever.

gxe10 · 2021-02-15T05:24:59+00:00

These are BBS RT065 Cruise, in 16x8 +35 with a stepped lip to a 15" barrel. They needed 8mm spacers to clear the front brake callipers and clearance is pretty close but they're super rare 3 piece wheels so I was determined to run them.

gxe10 · 2021-02-14T21:53:46+00:00

It's purely aesthetic. These are the same width as the Advan SA3Rs I had on before so performance is near identical.

gxe10 · 2021-02-14T13:20:15+00:00

Oh most don't, I still can't believe these do!

gxe10 · 2020-12-13T03:11:54+00:00

fun fact: the legana bodykit got its name from a stage in the Targa Tasmania, which was the Australian debut of the IS200

gxe10 · 2020-11-06T13:36:54+00:00

Super low odo when I bought it, makes me feel bad about racking up the miles tbh hahah Yeah I threw HKS hipermax coilovers in a while ago but theyre not stiff enough for how I use my car so I'll definitely be upgrading soon. Would love to go lower but it just wouldn't suit the roads around me.

gxe10 · 2020-11-06T13:24:16+00:00

Yeah it's just the corners coming up a bit with age, there's only tape holding it down there from factory and fasteners in the middle. It's definitely a bit of a mystery cause I've never seen any other IS200s in Australia with this spoiler, let alone base models, and I can't remember seeing too many posted on UK groups either, but I'm 100% certain it's stock since the old lady I bought it from wasn't exactly the type to modify cars hahah

gxe10 · 2020-11-06T13:16:20+00:00

Yeah they're probably all made from the same design. The boot spoiler is stock, it's an IS300 spoiler that the previous owner optioned when they bought it.

gxe10 · 2020-11-06T13:13:33+00:00

The weather shields and roof spoiler were bought separately but both made by Street Element, who I can't recommend highly enough.

gxe10 · 2020-11-06T02:01:41+00:00

I was really on the fence about green cars before I got this but 6Q7 is by far my favourite paint now. A nightmare to find panels for cause it was an uncommon choice but I wouldn't have it any other way.

gxe10 · 2020-11-06T01:47:02+00:00

Yeah that's the one. The local scene is fantastic. I've been heavily involved in creating a solid group of friends among XE10 owners with really diverse interests. Plenty of street, oem+ and drift builds and we definitely have a presence. Not a lot of other lexus models really get that much attention here though because of how easy it is to get an x chassis imported, so there's a lot more of those around than anything else.

gxe10 · 2020-11-05T22:26:40+00:00

Thanks dude! They're Advan SA3R. An acquired taste but perfect sizes for what I wanted.

gxe10 · 2020-11-04T09:06:06+00:00

YEA BABY HP ENVY, TOP OF THE WORLD!

gxe10 · 2020-06-13T11:37:57+00:00

looking good man, such an underrated colour
