225/35R19 Eagles, Potenzas or Falkens? Sorry meant to say the Falken FK452s

I've got 225/35R19s on my Altezza and i'm impressed, they were new on the car when i bought it, they're very quiet and comfortable given their skinny profile as well as having very good grip. That's my excuse when i cant get the tail out sometimes on roundabouts anyway I have heard rave reviews about those Eagle F1s from other Altezza owners though

I have stock induction and a Powerflow system with sports cat. I meant to ask at the meet, if yours is tiptronic i presume it can be held in a specific gear, why couldn't you go on the dyno then?

I was beaten by 0.7bhp!!! :D I was nicely surprised as well like you i was expecting about 180ish. There's a great hum out of that exhaust as well Mark and it looks the business

I was servicing the Altezza last night and while I was down iin the pit having a look around I spotted a TRD badge on the Gearbox crossmember/mount, between the two plastic skid trays underneath. Do they all have this badge or is mine some sort of TRD edition that i'm not aware off? :o Also I plugged out my ECU fuse while i was servicing it just to see if i'd notice any difference afterwards, while it was out the indicators flashed for the entire time, like i had my hazard lights on. Is this normal?

I've got 19" League rims and havent had any problems with comfort or rubbing. The arches are rolled a bit i'm told by the previous owner but TBH i never checked for sure. The tyres are 225/35R19 Falken FK452s and are nice and quiet as well. What sort of wheel pressures do ye use?

mine can hit the limiter in 4th. but thats sooon to be solved. Rsm on thw way!! Whats done to the cars for ESVA in the UK to delimit them? Mine appears to be delimited :) but theres no sign of am RSM or anything like that So whats the top speed of yours Tezzy? Mine hits the limiter when it hits the km/h mark on the speedo just after 180kmh. The is other ways to delimit the engine. Thor racing do a box, hks do one, and then theres the manual way to do it by chopping and connecting some wires in the ecu Not sure what the top speed is but i saw 130 one night before i ran out of (private) road mine has the kmph speedo thats just coverted to read mph. maybe when the speedo is converted it removes the restriction somehow

Its basically the best bang per buck mod u can get for the Altezza, gives u some much needed low end torque. Not sure of anyone that has got one tuned in in Ireland though, I might be the first! Plan on getting one soon and see if the lads in Westward will tune it in for me Been doing a bit of reading up on it and i might be interested in getting one myself. What sort of dosh would we be looking at including set up?

what's a camcon?

Does anybody apart from me experience a very bad flat spot when accelerating from low revs in second gear? I get regularly stranded trying to duck onto roundabouts, I coast up ready to stop and if i spot a gap and floor it to nip in the car just bogs down :o :o once it gets to about 1500 rpm it picks up then. Am i alone in experiencing this?

Yeah i must drop Powerflow a mail and see what they say. Thing is though I want to have my cake and eat it. The fact that the larger bore and sports cat are probably worth a few extra ponies makes me want to hold onto it, it does look like a quality piece of kit. it just needs to be a bit quieter! :D

Is there any way to quieten a noisy exhaust with some sort of insert for the baffle? I'm running a full stainless Powerflow custom set up installed by the last owner and find it very droney, and raspy when cold. If my only option is to replace it then i'll probably just live with it since it's a custom job i probably would need to change the whole thing, plus there's a sports cat and lifetime guarantee on it. Any suggestions?

deposit paid as of 5 mins ago Dizz, sorry about the delay So will these guys actually recommend adjustments or mods to improve the reliability/performance of the car or is it just a printout for ****waving purposes?! :D

I was onto the local Toyota dealer pricing a few service bits there before Xmas and asked him about ordering a spare key. (Mine is the same as above: gold Toyota logo with 2buttons on the side) He said they didn't have any in stock so i asked him about ordering and he couldn't find them on the system. Meaning they can't be ordered apparrently :o
