I just found this on Amazon and purchased 2 of them, one for my wife and one for myself since we both have 100 Series LC's. I'm going to stick these under the tree!

This would be a great Christmas/Hanukkah gift for the LC lover in the family. Just slip pieces of of paper with the Amazon link on it around the house or in a sandwich.

Anybody wanna take a guess at tire size?
I'm calling them 37 inchers.

It looks like it has a 2" body lift. ;)

Ya, I'm looking at a lot of tire rub depending up what the suspension is like in these. I may have to do a body lift for a couple more (scale) inches.

Meh, it's an 02. I'd rather have the model with the 5 spd. :flipoff2: And it's RHD. Wonder if it's also a diesel? :)

It may be the 105 with the live front axle. That'd be sweet!:D
 
I'd definitely retro those headlight washers on my full scale 100.

Yea, I think those Swedes were on to something when they started putting headlamp washers on all their Volvos and Saabs.

After I get my bumpers, I may try fitting some using a windshield washer unit.
 
That 1/24 model above is pretty awesome, I'm going to snag one. I have looked for years for models of my Mazdaspeed 3, G8, E55, etc. and never found any. Non-exotics are surprisingly hard to find as models... Diecasts are more common but still not everywhere.
 
This model is pretty cool. I picked one up 2 yrs ago to put together with my daughter. The driveline is actually assembled during the "build". AA battery powers the gears and axles. She took it to preschool show and tell the next week.
 
Yeah those are pretty cool little toys. I've have one for about a year now. I wish there were bigger 100 series model kits available though.

As you probably already know most if not all 100's (LX470) sold in Canada had these headlight washers.

Is that for climate reasons? I.e., keeping the lights clear of grime and snow?
 
I can appreciate that luxury! For that matter, I'd like to get the motorized folding mirrors off the LX. Saves me from getting out when squeaking past a tree!

I LOVE the folding mirrors on my LX. I wonder how I can retro in the headlight washers.
 
Yep, seems tech related for sure.

My best guess would be trying to use a windshield washer unit.
