    I've always wondered why when I order parts from companies throughout the world that I get differing import duties, I then noticed that I am NEVER charged import duties when ordering from Takakaira Nice one Mr Takakaira, i'm off to order more goods from them!!! Si

    Both the Exide one and the Optima Yellow fit in to the bay with only 1 minor mod - you have to pack the battery brace with rubber as it is a touch shorter than sthe standard one. I'm running the Exide one and it is excellent Si

    just put your hand under the edge of the shiny piece at the bottom of the leather gaitor and easy it up all the way round. it does pop up easily, if you unscrew the gear knob you can remove the entire thing Si

    The fascia plate can be found at AUTOTOYS just search under IS300 and you will see it come up. If you order from them make sure you email them first to negotiate the shipping charges otherwise you will get stung on the charges. The fascia plate is a pretty goo done you have the option of single or double din, look in the IS200 gallery near the end and you will see photo's of mine in there Si P.S. As for the TRC it's useless get rid of it and get a decent one fitted if you really want one

    It's normal mate, the sound you are hearing is due to the induction kit, the stock airbox is a LOT more soundproofed so you wouldn't normally hear it. I think (feel free to correct me) that it is because when you shift up or down you do not have your foot on the accelerator and the induction kit is not drawing in any air to the charger hence the sound of rushing air ceases!!

    Oooppss just realised that you are in an altezza - sorry must be blind today! I don't know if there are any different fueling requirements for the altezza or even if they use the same engine internals, try PM'ing TRD328 he's also in Australia and has done plenty of work on his motor

    When Mark isn't stalking this forum he can be found by clicking the Torque Developments Link at the top of the page. Stage 1 boost upgrade with the fuelling and the intercooler will hopefully be done in the next 10 weeks or so, as for how fast it is, don't know and I'm not dyno'ing it or doing any 0-60 until I have finished modding the car, ideally yes you will need to upgrade the ecu if you change the pulley as you need to alter the fueling as well. Cheers Si

    food for thought as i've just ordered my 18" kit from there!! best check that out me thinks

    Take it into any decent car audio store and they should be able to diagnose it no probs, the lense could be scratch or mis-aligned or the laser could be knackered, the housing unit could also be knackered. If you take it to a store they will also be able to check out the model of the cd changer and tell you if you do need a replacement which ones are compatible with the steering wheel controls. I know an excellent company in Oxford if your in the area? Si
