Lexus Gb's View On Modding...

[Scalle--]

you will notice a difference in the way the car is run

Silly me, and here I was thinking that was the whole point of the S/C

I think i'll drop mr Ganpot a line and point him to this site and TTE's official site, and see what he thinks?

maybe I am missing something, but if the SC can be seleceted as an option in Europe, would the Pan European warrenty not cover you? If Lexus offer it as an option both at purchase or as an aftermarket item, it would mean the engine can take it. if you take the car to say TTE to get it fitted where would you stand, if they already do that for Lexus Germany. It would make an interesting court case one Lexus country saying no and a larger number saying yes.

being option in Europe is one thing but not being one in UK is another. therefore not recognised in lexus UK even though is is part of toyota/lexus company

why so willing to get/enquire a supercharger from Lexus dealer anyway?

even if lexus uk bought out some supercharged is200(not a clue if they did) so they can get replacement supercharger/parts & other bits for it etc.. still dont mean they can sell you it & may not be able to do anything about it. - from my days in UK i know someone that bougth a mazda 323f & he wanted some alloy wheels from a special edition mazda 323f but the car dealer refused/not allowed to sell them to him, some company policy/disclaimer regarding special edition cars, that only special edition car owners can buy it as a replacement.

the body kit is an official option so they should sell/fit it for you. as for the supercharger if it not a official option they dont have to sell it to you. there not doing anything wrong by refusing it. unfortunate maybe.........
