Nice gathering. Hope you guys had fun time. I’ve never seen a dark grey SC.

I made a couple changes to my SC. Lowered it on BC coilovers and changed the wheels

QUOTE=WIL44;10291847]Had a mini meet of the Lexus World club in the UK at the weekend and eight turned up.
That is 0.4% of all the SC's sold in the UK, great couple of hours.
Never seen more than three at the same time.

The Lexus at the far end is an ISF.

Hey Steve, look at that, yours and mine together in the line on clublexus.
I should have done better with the video and picked up all of the features on each of the cars but there were so many distractions and people to meet I didn't get it all done.

Default New Headlight assembly

My driver's side headlights stopped working. Obviously, the first thought is that it's the lightbulb. After researching lightbulb replacement, I decided to take it to the dealer. After deeper investigation at the dealer, they determined there was a leak in the assembly and that water had gotten into the computer component that manages bulb illumination. A new Headlight Assembly at the dealer was about $1700. Thankfully, they through in a $100 surface restoration for the passenger side headlight. The other new thing is that Adaptive Headlight Functioning (AHF) is working, at least on the new left side. I can't tell if the right is working or not, although the dealer's computer says it is.

2009 SC430 with new driver's side headlight assembly.

$1700?? Holy cow! But, I guess it's not like you can run to the nearest U-Pull-It lot and grab a used one.

Yeah must do it again soon, there was definitely a good community spirit forming there. It was great to meet you and finally see the car in the flesh. It looks so much better than in original form without being radically changed. The air suspension is so cool and practical, the sound the exhaust makes is just perfect.

Nice video - does anyone know what wheel mfr might be on the silver SC (the second SC's from the ISF)? Those are something I might be interested in for my own...

Default coilovers

I am having a set of MeisterR coilovers installed today on my 2006. Finally saying good bye to a lousy handling ride!
