Hi Hansc, I am also from Malaysia. I like your Splitter and where do you custom made it? By the way did you join the Altezza group in KL?

Thanks for the info and advise. It seems like I don't really need the oil cooler and could spend the money to other mod.

Anyone has installed an oil cooler to the Auto Gear Box? I was recommended by one of my friend to install one to protect the gear box. I have checked one of the local dealer in my country that they can custom fit the HKS oil cooler to the gear box. I am not sure whether should i do it and is it a very major mod. Or it is just a quick install to the gear box.

Hi ChiSiang, Thanks for the number. If the timing is right and I happen to be in Singapore, I will give a SMS to see if I could join you. And if you happened to be in KL, please do SMS me as well. I can be contacted at +6012 2836949. Yeah, Internet and Forum make the world such a small place. I just have my first time meeting some Altezza members in KL on Friday night. Nine cars were presence and it was cool to have some enthusiast to meet up.

Hi ChiSiang, Thank you for the offer. How do I get in touch with you? Any PM? How many members you have in Singapore and how often you guys gather? I just started to join those group in Malaysia.

Thank you very much for the information. Very useful to me. Really appreciate your time to share the knowledge. Are you from Singapore?

Thanks for the info on possibly fault. I am not too familiar with the technical issues. Can you please help to further explain the "knocking". Have heard of it but not sure what is it. What damage will it done to the engine? And what can I do to rectify it? How do I check the Clog/faulty MAF sensor and O2 sensor whether they are at fault? Please advise and thanks

dear all, I might found the cause to the trottle vibration especially to my car. I tried to trace the trottle cable in the engine bay. I suspect that the vibration was transferred from the engine to the pedal. When i trace the cable, i found that it was hold on by two metal clips and one of that was locked to the intake manifold. I unclip the cable from it and when i was driving home, i did not feel any vibration at all that has been felt in the past. Another thing i found out about causing vibration is the type or brand of petrol you been using. I have tried numerous brand of petrol in my country and found one that creates smooth rides. I believe with different type of petrol will cause the engine to vibrate less. Thus causing less vibration. Ultimately, I think it could be caused by the direct transfer of the engine vibration to the pedal. I hope this help those whom encountered such situation. Let me know if this works.

Need some advise on the type of ATF to be used. What other brand besides the recommended Toyota Type-4 ATF to be used? One of my friend commented that HKS Synthetic ATF creates more power and smoothness to his Supra. Wondering can it be used on RS200? And by the way, is the IS200 and Altezza having the same auto gearbox? Please advise, thanks.

Thanks for the offer and would like to know what will be the solution provided for the vibration. I still have the vibration problem now. It will not vibrate when it is in idle. Most of the time, it vibrates when i press on the accelerator.

Hi Ted, I am from Malaysia too, just bought an RS200 two months back. Are you from KL? Where did you do your car? Probably can exchange some note.

Thanks for the sharing. I will continue to pursue for a solution on this. Will keep it posted if i find any solution to it. I will also try to off the aircon to see if the vibration will be gone. Thanks again

Dear all, I am a newbie here. I just got my Altezza RS200 a couple of days ago. It is a 2002 specs. I notice this forum is mainly on Lexus IS200 but I believe both are almost the same car. I have some questions on the car. I am drive an auto transmission. When i press on the gas pedal i feel great vibration. I have reviewed some of the topic on feeling vibration when you floor the pedal. Anyone has able to resolve this issues? Is it what it claims to be the characteristic of the car? It feels like you can feel the engine revving hard. I have changed the ATF and a new tyre and also adjusting the camber to stock setting. The only thing i have not tried is the engine mounting. Appreciate if anyone that can give me some advise on getting to the root of the problem. Thanks in advance.
