Hi, I am thinking of fitting LED brake light bulbs to my MK1 RX300 and would prefer not to fit load resistors. The following post gives details on how to do this on an IS200 - www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t34759.html Can anyone with a circuit diagram tell me if this is possible to do on a RX300? Thanks Martin

Hi, I'm trying to remove the indicator relay in the drivers side kick panel but as much as I pull, it won't come out. Before I get medival on it - should it just pull out or is there some locking mechanism? Thanks Martin

I had the same noise you describe. Just replaced the front antiroll bar bushes. Its seems better but I'm not sure if i've also got some noise coming from the brakes now. I'll post back in a couple of days when I've had a chance to test fully.

How about a Toyota MR2 MK1 T-bar. They handle better than the MKII :D :D

That was brilliant. He reminds me of the comic - Dave Gorman.

I replaced all the shocks on my 98 MkII at 98K, mainly as there were problems with uneven tyre wear. My friend who did the work said that when he checked them after removal, only one of the shocks was in need of replacing. The replacement shocks were KYB's. The ride is now marginally firmer which is not what I personally wanted. I'm not sure that new shocks will solve the 'jiggly' ride problem as this may be a 'feature' of the GS, others may be able to comment.

Weston-super-Mare (unfortunately) Gold GS300 - currently fitting DAB radio adapter and starter button.

Thanks. I guess the OBDII interface has some kind of output for g-force/brake position but this can only be sampled once or twice a second?

Ok, at that price, I won't be messing with the brake booster Thanks

Hi, I'm thinking about installing an LED braking light that flashes (probably illegal) during hard braking on a MK2 GS300. Does the brake pedal have a position sensor which I could tap in to? Perhaps if anyone has a wiring diagram they could check for me. The only other methed I could think of detecting a hard braking situation is to make some sort of g-force sensor using a spring and contacts (very Heath Robinson). Thanks Martin

Great to hear Geoff is back. He has been very helpful to me in the past with electronics questions. Welcome back. Martin

Wow, thats incredible!!!!! Respect for having the b@lls for doing this, it looks fabulus. Very inspiring.

I had a simular problem where the bonnet would not close. The bonnet cable was worn/stretched. I mananged to add a 1/4 inch type washer which took up the slack in the cable and enbled the bonnet to latch.

Going to replace them with Continental SportContact 2's.

Thanks for the pics. The exhaust trims look an excellent fit I shall be getting some of those.
