  1. But i prefer this tire then the other ones cause when you go in a pothole you have a better chance at saving the rims and the tires from damages also the ride quality went up it feels more smooth the ride.
  2. The front tires rub slightly when turning the wheels all the way they rub on the inner plastic fender.
  3. Hey friends the thing is that i needed to replace my tires they where 225/40 r18 but the guys i buy the tires from only had 225/45 r18 i already bought them and they fit thabks friends
  4. Hi friends will 225/45 r18 fit on a lexus is200? Thanks.
  5. Hi freinds i took my lexus is200 with 60,000miles to get the timing belt changed at the dealership the thing is that i bought the original kit from the dealer and now they are telling me that they need to change the o ring or sometime of seal from the camshaft and cranckshaft is this true? Thanks in advance.
  6. All you guys ranting at what lexus says who cares? I just know the lexus is200 is a great car its super reliable and if you guys want real power buy a mitsu evolution and mod it and you will all see what true power there is behind a turbocharged engine.
  7. My car is a 2002 lexus is200 it has 87,000km on the odometer thats 54,273 miles i feel its a low mileage car for the 10 years it has. Havent done any expensive repairs and iam think on holding this car for a long time but i wanna see how many miles other have and what major repairs will i need to see in a future?
  8. My car has 87,000 km on the odometer and the only problems i have had with the car is a noise in the sunroof and the valve cover was leaking small amounts of engine oil, i myself and a friend changed the gasket which cost me only $20.00 and no more leaking oil but as for the sunroof the noise its still there.
  9. This isn't a chip. It is a potentiometer. It isn't worded correctly. IATs work solely on resistance. What this does is allow you to change the resistance. I suspected you would still want to try it either way, (an observation not a criticism) and there is no doubt in my mind it will change the performance in some way. That's why I suggested buy a pot from Ebay. Same thing. Ask tuning wizard for a photo of the inside. You don't need to see values of components as its variable. You still have to manually set it yourself so for the case of a quid, why not try one first? It just makes the engine think its cooler than it is when turned up so the fuel ratio is richer, and when turned down makes it leaner. (Hence the alleged mpg and performance - both aren't at the same time - its one or the other). That's the theory. In reality by the time the ECU reads the false air temp reading, the other sensors will be advising there's too much fuel in the exhaust gasses and return the fuelling to normal, or at worst, throw up an engine management light if you have the adjustment to far. You will get small bursts - very small. Not noticeable in driving but specialist equipment can detect it so therefore they aren't lying though it could be argued they are mis-selling. As I say, the car will definitely feel different as this is going on because of the resistance change. Thanks for explaining, maybe not worth it.
  10. Well i would like to try it, in a bmw 325i i had i bought a chip from dinan engineering they claimed an 18bhp increase i got my car strapped in a dyno and it actually gave me 15bhp, thats why iam looking if someone here has tested this.
  11. Check the link http://www.tuningwizard.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=95&products_id=2235 Has anybody here bought this chip? What do you guys think?
  12. Hi Friends got this part for my car from ebay check it out.
  13. I get 22mpg in city driving with lots of traffic.
  14. Hi friends if i buy an aftermarket exhaust system and i dect the car will i get a check engine light? And if yes how do i eliminate it? Thanks
