Slight Problem.

[britrb]

I have a slight problem. I cant seem to stop stamping on the gas! My LS 400 is faultless, but my right foot seems to be magnetically attracted to the floor. That awesome surge of acceleration is so adictive I just cant seem to stop flooring my LS400.

Does anyone know of a fix for this please? (Apart from asking the nice government to keep raising the price of fuel!)

My cure was 2 rounds of SP25s followed by a a dose of religious cruise control use.

Dunlop SP25 (tyre) that is generally fitted to the LS400 16" wheels and generally very highly rated for how well it matches the LS.

SP25s?

couple of SP30s will soon put you off the speed ;)

It's called leadfoot syndrome, very painful on the wallet..

Easy fix this one....buy a Rover 75 Diesel. I did. Its doesnt really stop you putting your foot to the floor (actually it makes you do it more) but when you do, nothing happens. So in a way, your cured.

Sorted.

The Rover is on ebay; 140484011639

Warning to all Lexus owners; dont bid. you will be disapointed after a Lexus. I was.

Dave Edin - Sorry it was SP30s I meant - speeding violations 3 points a crack!

I would not bother with Dunlops after I found Falkens

(SP25s ring a bell somewhere, are they motor bike tyres?)

Put a sponge behind the gas pedal or set the computer to actual mpg (3 mpg when you floor it),

Anouther alternative is to lpg it then you wont care, I did & it was the best move I could have made.

I think I'll look into the LPG thing. I did see a few LS400's on sale in eBay with LPG conversions, one of them had a really nasty ring of rust around the LPG filler cap thingy though.
