Is300 Toyomoto Valve Body Upgrade

[Mr Morse]

Any of you IS300 e-shift pilots who are frustrated by the slow changes, take a look at this thread over on IS300.net

A very impressive 36% improvement in upshift times between 2nd & 3rd! :D

And a bargain price too, although it needs to be professionally fitted unless you're an expert. This is the same upgrade that'll be fitted to my car over the next few weeks.

sounds interesting, how much does it cost all in?

[Mr Morse]

Approx £150 for the kit

Estimated £20 shipping

3 - 4 hours fitting/labour - inedpendent garage £130

Total approx £300 :D

I'd say this represents good bang per buck :winky:

Buy a manual in the first place.

Buy a manual in the first place.

You are sadly misinformed; the RHD IS300 is only available with the autobox :duh:

I am not sadly misinformed and am very much aware that the manual is300 is only available in the states. I was stating just buy a manual full stop.

Seems your auto box gets you very quick to react Mr Morse.

yeah its pretty good value, when are you having yours fitted?

[Fargo]

yeh mike, why not just go import a LHD 300 so you can get a manual box,,,,, much much easier than fitting a VB upgrade........

If you ad a manual gearbox to the is300 you have to replace the whole motormanagement system..

That's what I know :D
