Hi

Should I upgrade my suspension to Tein Driving Master Basic Suspension Kit? my front shocks are on their way out and would cost £350 for Lexus to supply and fit standard shocks only. I'll obviously spend more getting a full suspension but could be worth it in the long run.

Has anyone had any experience with TEIN products? If so, are they any good?

Cheers guys

I have just fitted tein super street with upper mounts with cost me around 900 someting then a bought a EDFC control which i havent installed yet then i have just fitted a ARB hotchkiss front and back with a hard settings on it and it was a great drive afterwards. Tein came with a good preset height already but Im thinking of making it a bit higher due to uk roads sucks easpicially on humps.

Two weeks ago I installed TEIN SS with the topmounts, but without the EDFC option.

It's hard to be sure, but subcetively, I think they are more comfortable than stock setup. Especially on the softer settings of the dampers.

There was some clicking during the first 2-3 days, but now everything settled and the ride is perfectly smooth.

Very happy with them.

Thanks for the reply- I just recieved the super street damper with EDFC now excited to put it one. but need to look for some mechanic first -to have them installed--which will cost me ...Ill post for the feedback.

any good mechanic do you know around central london around zone 1-2?

Just wondering if any body has installed tein super street dampers with upper mounts includig the edfc ...Ived read some has used them but reealy god reports. thanks

Could be somthing is causing your parking sensors to go off giving you the continous beeeeeeeeeep

the parking sensor its fine still doing its job-i wonder if anyone one doesnt have the parking sensor and if they have the solid sound only>?

you engine coolant is low just put or add more coolant to it -- its not the air condition just the low water on you engine coolant

9006 same bulb use for your low beam--just buy hid for low beam and fog looks better as lond 6k with 55watts

just wondering if anyone have experience when reversing hearing a solid beep plus the intermetent beep beep.before it only do the intermitent beep but just 2days ago just started with extra sound which is a solid beep plus the another beep --i have a parking sensor but this new solid sound is new ...

check ams oil http://www.amsoiluk.com/

they have good products. not heard here in UK more because its an american product. WE have used it for lona time and performance car even..the bad thing in UK is that less product to chose and not alot of places to buy. But in comes to engine oil fully synthetic will run for 25,000 orr ((30,000 if you use there oil filter). they have also the fuel additive which is good for 4,000 to clean the engine etc which in turn gives you a better milleage. but check the products. expensive but worth it.. let me know

How much ?

Opie Oils have 5L of Fuchs fully synthetic 5W30 for just £20, and that's before club discount. I also wouldn't extend my oil change interval just because I was using better oil.

dude that a better engine oil thought , intervals usually it depends on how your drive you can change it ever 10k miles but even in USA we change it every 3k-but this oil is better

i bought mintex front and back for 40 including shipping in eBay -sop just look for it..then have someone did it for me for 40--lazy to do and get dirty (excuses)

RED is the standard. Needs to be changed every 2 years after the first change at 3 years. Pink is the new standard which lasts 10 years.

Not sure about green, I think it is only used on UK built vehicles

Spot on mate

the green coolant is for uk built vehicles such as the Carina E's and Avensis

Pink is used on cars from 2003/4 onwards

please check the ams oil product. great one

Will the sat nav disks work from the new GS450H or not does anyone know?

As in the other thread it won't work - the part in the disc number where it says X01 shows which generation nav unit it is. The IS200 has the 01 nav unit, the GS has the 05 nav unit in it.

off topic --just wondering is that your property in orlando --just curous cause im a local floridian from O-town(orlando town for short).

there will be no post code support it will just be the same just put the street address --its just the same thing except a new and updated map--i have the 2007-2008 which i hve bought 148. but if any one has a copy tof 2009 would be great --

I think it depends onwhat brand of HID you are going to buy. i did bought here HID first one with 35 watts and 6k the light are not level and it spreads unevenly. when i bought a branded one its totallydeferent.. i got a apex cone brand and ddm tuning-regular and slim ballast with 55watts each and using 6k and 8k( when using 8k since its running on higher wattage it flushes the color down) so when i change it now the beam is even and much better. so it stil comes down to brand and how much you pay.

ive used bp ultimate and it does make the engine cleaner also and more mileage

dont think he has the pics yet mate

i have the photos of my HID main light and fog lights. just dont have the software to shrink it. sort of busy --the photo size was around 5 megs-

i have the main 55 wats 8k (it will wash it down due to the wattage also so it will look like white)and fog 55wats 6k

please email me i cant shrink photo ..on vacation daryl41@cfl.rr.com

check ams oil PI-performance inhancer,,,checj google

i have 55watss on head lights with 8k which it will wash it down a bit due to the wattage then i have 55watts 6k fog lights --no prolem at all just looks good esp at night you can see better..i havent change the high beam though its just use occasionally. the brand i use is apex cone and ddm tuning slim and regular size ballast

its japanese car it will last for a while plus a good care of the car.

put 4 quarts and also check amsoil 0-30 fully ssynthetic great oil..
