  1. Good point! Anyway there is no pressure drop through the throttle body as its not needed. The engine has fuel injection??
  2. Thank you for all that information! I will digest it and think about it. I was just wondering if anybody had disconnected the heated water? :mat:
  3. I can't see how it would ever ice-up as its sitting on top of a hot engine?
  4. I would say its heated! As it get very hot.....
  5. Having looked at the throttle body on my IS300 it seems to be water-heated. Is this really necessary, surely it would be better to have it cooler(more power)?
  6. Just had mine done at WIM, and what a difference its made! It was well worth the drive down
  7. Well that's not legal is it? Its definetly legal, I checked before I had them made up.
  8. I'm going to make a heat-shield for mine, I already have the Stainless steel. I got it from B&Q, if you search around any friendly store you will find some kitchen rejects( or spares). I bought a whole chimney for a cooker hood for a £10 in Stainless steel. There's more than enough for a heat shield. Its Polished on one side and Brushed on the other.
  9. I decided to fit some new number plates. I phoned around and eventually found a place in Stoke-on-Trent. They can do any size number plates even the odd size that Lexus have on the rear. They can do any style to, as long as its legal? I have a black border round mine and a GB motive on the left hand side, also had the 3D lettering.I will be fitting them tomorrow. The name of the company is Simpson & Co. and their number if anyone is interested is: 01782 212705. They have been doing it for 27 years so they know what they are doing.
  10. I tried to get some new mats from Lexus of Chester and they told me they no longer make them. I phoned around and they were right. So finally got a set off E-bay, they were almost new, with eye-lets.
  11. What wrong with Supermarket fuel? It all comes out of the same storage tanks at the refineries.
  12. That would great if you could, thanks! :)
  13. It didn't cost anything as it was part of a Marshals Track day(thanks to Mr.Palmer). But I think its about £140. Its a great track as most 'drivers' will tell you.
  14. Some BMW's, Seat Leon, Classic Touring car, VW golf etc.
  15. A few weeks ago I took my IS300 on a track day. It wasn't my intention to take my car on the track but to ride in other peoples cars. Well I took it around Oulton Park and I embarrassed a lot of so called fast cars? I can say that I'm very pleased with the handling and the performance(for a standard car). Even some of my friends that I took around were surprised. Can't wait now to get a S/S exhaust for it( going to M.I.J. who do a very good job)
  16. I had to fill mine the other day to........!
  17. I can't see the point of a strut brace on any IS as they don't have 'Struts' And the design of most of the 'strut braces' wouldn't make it any more rigid than it is. Upgraded ARB's would do a much better job!
  18. Does anyone know if the Sportscross rear bumper fit a saloon? :)
  19. Thank you for that! There seem to be 4 sensors on the manifold, 2 either side of the pre-cats and before the main cat. Where can I get an O2 simulator and where do I put it? ( no silly answers please !!! ) :)
  20. Ah cool, that looks like a better option. Cheers! :) What happens with the Lambda probes both sides of the cats? :)
  21. If I keep my car next year I'll be doing this an asking Powerflow, i want it so I can put it all back to stock afterwards.. got them to do a smiliar thing from the cat to the back box :) So Stav is your system just straight through all the way now, did powerflow go from the manifold to the cat? Then take out the cat etc? Hi, if you take out the 2 pre-cats what do you do with the lamda probes that are in front and behind the pre-cats? I'm thinking of taking off my pre-cats and want to know whats involved. I have a IS300 by the way! :)
  22. I need a new mirror to and I've been quoted £190 + VAT. It is heated and auto-dim. Where can you get one for only £140? Terry :)
