steveluv Twincharged December 19, 2018 Share December 19, 2018 (edited) So this is the Lexus Owner thread ok My RX 200t F-Sport was dented and scratched when I accidentally hit a makeshift barrier last week, send it to agent While waiting for surveyor to come back She even asked me if I wanted breakfast - American breakfast or Thai fish porridge. Very good service. Lexus told me to repair everything including the 4 wheels rims badly scratched (by my maid as she drives if more than I) and also other parts of the body. All claim insurance. Car will be back 2 weeks. Yesterday my maid went to collect the RX, after about 18 days in the there. She drove to pick me at the airport last night and I was pretty pleased with it. This morning took a closer look at it and also inspected the 4 rims car and rims looked like new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmp9WGuUKGQ Very happy with the job.

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic January 5, 2019 Share January 5, 2019 Thanks for the info.

Get the servicing record from them too.you can actually find out if you can remember the plate number.just call the service center and they can inform you.when i bought my 2nd hand GS,they inform me everything including the service records...provided you give them the exact plate numberIf the owner retained his car plate, a new number will be assigned. This will make it hard to get records over the phone. Maybe can try to take down the chassis number and use it to check instead, if the license plate is a new one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the best offset for it? If install piggyback will the throttle response improve? I gonna handover my current car to the next buyer tomorrow and going car-less for a day. Gonna miss my current car. Edited January 8, 2019 by JX83 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna miss my current car.Hi hi, sorry I missed out replying to you. Congrats on getting your car today! Yup I'm on 18". Offset is a personal preference. Do you intend to go flushed?

Do you intend to go flushed? Wanna go staggered? ð Piggyback will make normal mode become the stock sports mode, and in sports mode it becomes "sport+" if u know what I mean. There's Tom's Powerbox and Racechip available for our car. Throttle controller will make the car's throttle response more sensitive, therefore making the drive more enjoyable. It does nothing for power through, and it doesn't eliminate the throttle lag issue from standstill. No problem thanks for replying because ur the best person I can consult as u are driving the same model Edited January 10, 2019 by JX83 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic January 10, 2019 Share January 10, 2019 (edited) No problem thanks for replying because ur the best person I can consult as u are driving the same model ð Most likely I go 18â flushed but not staggered later on since the current 17â Re003 still left quite abit of meat. My friend told me I could put spacer if I doesnât want staggered. Umm thought can improved on the standstill. Haha. Still trying to get used to drive compared to my previous ride. ð Oh is our headlight H4? Thought of changing out the yellow bulb Mine is 18x8 ET38 square. Front is nearly flush while rear is not. To go flush maybe you can use 18x8.5 on ET35. Front will be flush but rear will still be not. I'm getting my new wheels in Feb. 18x8.5 front ET35 and 18x9.5 rear ET45. H4 is for halogen if I'm not wrong. Ours is HID, not sure what bulb is used. Colour temp is about 4300k which is slightly yellowish. Stock lights are the longest lasting so nowadays I no longer change to white lights. Every bulb is my car is stock Edited January 10, 2019 by Theoldjaffa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
