Filled the machine up with Shell Optimax as recommended by TDi today...cost £50 for a tank full (warning light on) Pulled away and it felt like it had had the ECU chipped or something whilst I was paying for the petrol well worth the extra 4p a litre

or knackered

I suggest you write a nice letter to Lexus GB......saying how much you like the car/brand etc....slip in a but.........then ask them about replacing your alloys.........you could (in letter 2) even offer to pay a small contribution.... You may get lucky failing that Chris's look a good buy

Me 2........... Hurry up Si

Normally dyno results are at the back wheels.........

Andy - Thanks for that :) Mine is quite co**** first thing in the morning but wears off after a few minutes. May remove strut brace then.... Is it easy ? I would think I make sure wheels are straight and just undo the bolts holding it on then replace n tighten Mmmmmm looks like a job for saturday Its bloody quick though still can't believe the change in the car :hocus-pokus:

at least the golden retrievers hairs will match the interior my black interior hides the blacl labs hairs very well ....coupled with my whizzy tartan blanket

I can imagine the top end is really good ....last night came back from shopping and was doing 90 on A2016 only realised (was chatting to er indoors when the bend needed more helm adjustment than before Got a bit of vibration which I can feel thru the steering wheel which Mark is aware of & will fix when induction kit is fitted. Lowering it has made it soooo much taughter.... Summer will bring the Racelogic thingy if funds permit On Autobahns....am driving to Romania next summer so will get my chance then.....also the roads in Romania are arrow straight and fairly empty may struggle to get Optimax petrol tho :(

Even a trip to the station to drop the wife off is anticipated Got a routine when starting up fire her up listen to the new "busier" under bonnet noise switch off traction control put on smug grin engage first gear move off

Well.............. All I can say is GO FOR IT throttle response is better................ no more at low revs it starts at 3000rpm and goes & goes Lowered susppension is ace as well c/w strut brace car feels more stable and responds quicker many thanx to Mark for doing the biz :D Will report on m/way performance etc shortly when I find an excuse All in all

still not got it going to collect it in 1/2 hour.........so will have a few comments too make later on tonite........ Where I live is 1.5 miles from Marks place.....BUT the Thames is in the way so bus to north greenwich---jubilee line to stratford----district line to Upney will take 1-1 1/2 hours

Er indoors has started to make me "pay" for my mods ! List of jobs so far Paint kitchen (today) Fit new floor tiles to kitchen (tomorow) Erect new garden fence (means digging holes etc )(weekend) Paint dining room (next tuesday) On the agenda Extra trips to Bluewater Paint living room and upstairs Never mind a price worth paying

Slight technical hitch so car will be collected tomorrow (bolt sheared off on suspension) Got in insured through the GOLD members deal for £640 ish

I think you can de-cat the front down pipe

will be picking it up this evening got to take it back to get the TDi induction kit fitted as Mark didnt have all the bits (my fault was an impulse buy ) Thinking about it that will be a good thing as I'll be able to compare the two (without induction kit & with) which may help those dithering over the purchase to take the plunge... just out to rob the local post office

Just received a plastic kit of a Altezza RS200 bought on EBAY from Canada Will now make it up to be a replica of my own machine..... Kit (by Fujimi) is of excellent quality............. Can't wait til get it completed

I'm a consultant with no fixed place of work and as a result can claim my travelling expenses (petrol,train fares) back against my income tax liability( not to my work HQ) In effect they will pay you 25/40% (depends on what % tax u pay) of either 45p a mile or your train fare. I've just got £1600 back for 18 months with another £1000 due for 2002/3. Even if you get paid mileage (i get an enormous 25p a mile for travel outside the M25 !) they will pay you 25/40% of the difference or offset that against the profit element. So give it a go ! any queries PM me...........everyone in the company I work for has claimed this & been successful Its helping pay for my supercharger
