Fensport mate. Give Glenn a bell and he will sort you out...

It does have six markings on it, but look closely at the bottom right one (where sixth gear should be) and you will see it says 'R' for reverse.....

It all depends on what you are doing and where you are doing it :D Unfortunately, as Zee found out the other week, the police (bless 'em) can be very picky indeed at cruises. I don't think you would get pulled for them just driving on normal roads, but at a cruise you would probably get pulled and they could check them, and end up asking you to remove them if they are not E-marked. I say risk it Maz :)

The only problem with that TRD knob, is that the embossed shift pattern on top is for a five speed car (GXE-10 Altezza I think) and I think the reverse is in the wrong place too. Only a minor problem but it would bug the h e l l out of me..... Zee and I both have the round leather TRD knob which is about the same size as the standard IS200 knob

I have gone for 7.5" x 18" fronts, and 8.0" x 18" rears with 225/40 front and 235/40 rear tyres imi.

Hi Didin, I tried the line level convertor from the 6x9 woofer to feed my subs and it sounded awful (Mat can vouch for that :( ) You could try fitting an EQ such as the AudioControl EQS, that takes speaker level inputs and gives an RCA output. You would also have an EQ to play around with then.....

5 stud, 114.3mm PCD, 45mm offset. Recommended 7.5" x 18" fronts, 8.0" or 8.5" x 18" at the back. If you are running low then go for 8.0" at the back. On the 7.5" fronts, go for a 225/40/18 tyre, 8.0" rears go for a 235/40/18 tyre, 8.5" rears go for a 255/35/18 tyre. Hope this helps imi :)

$460 aint too bad Asam. I have paid $370 with ESPS and they have no tracking numbers so you have no idea where your package is or when it will arrive :( I say go with UPS, I would if I was doing it again.

I ordered 4 new Toyos from mytyres two weeks ago and Parcel Line messed up on my order too. I rang mytyres to find out where my tyres were (they should have been 5 days but still had not arrived after 10) and apparantly <_< Parcel Line had tried to deliver them twice but could not find my place of work!!! I rang them and they had the full address and postcode but could not find it The best bit about it is, when the driver finally turned up, it was the same driver who always delivers from Parcel Line and he has been hundreds of times before :arrrggg-matey: Parcel Line seem to employ muppets for drivers :duh:

Id be up for this mate, put me down for two places Cant say 100% until I have a date though

There are two sets. One runs under the metal shelf, which is the one you can see from inside the boot (for the 6x9 woofer) and one (for the tweeter) runs in between the two layers of the shelf which can be accessed by removing the top layer (the bit with the speaker grilles attached to it) Do a search for 'rear speaker removal' if you want to know how to get to the tweeter feed

Chill out Mitch, you have got to learn to laugh at yourself as well as others mate.........

I like it......they must have restricted the engine a bit because it says 150 bhp and 134mph......I thought it was 153 and 141mph

That airfilter bypass and the cross drilled brakes lines sound like a fantastic idea to me :D

Im up for it bud, count me in :)

EBC brakes will be classed as a performance modification. If you look on the EBC website, the greenstuff pads are classed as being for 'heavy/fast street use' i.e. performance brake pads. The turbogroove discs are also classed as performance discs. I know the main reason that eveyone fits them is because of the brake dust, but still they are a performance enhancing modification. Don't give your insurance company any excuse not to pay out. In the event of an accident your brakes will be one of the first things they check. If you are lucky your insurance company will not increase your premium, but if they do, it won't be by much so why risk it?

Dont mention my install matthew Dont you just hate cowboys

I think people change the discs as well because Green Stuff pads eat standard discs due to the harder compound (thats why you get less dust), plus they look cooler B)

Sounds to me like your dealer has a 'little arangement' with a local ICE installer Parthiban, it shouldn't matter where you have it done, as long as it is done to a reasonable standard.

Hi Andy (great name mate ) I have talked to Lexus several times about this, and there is a thread discussing it HERE Although this thread is not ICE related, the same applies. As long as the part you have fitted has not directly caused the fault, then you are fine. Hope this helps :)

Great new Geoffers, I cant wait to get one mate! Any news on the total closure???

The conversion uses dual filament lamps kev, the dimmer one being for the tail lights and the brighter filament for the brake lights. They still work as fog lights when required. To be honest, I don't really care that it contravenes the road vehicles lighting regulations, I reckon that making you more visible when braking has to be a good thing. It cant be that bad as this is standard on JDM spec cars. It doesn't dazzle anyone because the larger filament used in the twin filament lamps is exactly the same wattage as a regular fog light lamp. I will probably get some replies saying that the reflector design is different on fog lights making them brighter blah blah blah, but if you follow a car with this done, they are no brighter than the brake lights. It is not really going to cause anyone a problem until MOT time anyway, unless you get a very clued up police officer :D :D :D :D :D For your MOT it can be reversed by simply disconnecting one wire. Yet another stupid British law...............

I saw one at the motorshow last year and I have to agree with Mat, they are the single ugliest 4x4 I have ever seen. I reckon they are on a par with the Fiat Multipla in the ugliness stakes....... Looks like they couldn't be bothered to design the front end so they stuck a Boxter nose on it (or should that be boxers nose? )

Pics would be great, I would love to see a stripped down IS............ It looked wierd enough when it had no engine and you could see the floor through the gear lever opening, so I would love to see one with no suspension or tranmission :D

Congrats Chris, It's gonna drag though mate
