    No wheels are made by Toyota/Lexus or TTE. However the european option wheels are normally sourced within the EU and are better quality so hopefully the styling kit 18" wheels will be fine.

    It's worth asking. Normally if it is a warranty claim new wheels should be put on not refurbished ones. The problem is with suppliers. The GS series II sport wheels don't seem to have this problem - they are manufactured by OZ. Not sure who makes the standard IS wheels or the 18" ones.

    You should just be able to get the rubber for around £5 which hopefully is a stock item.

    TRD also do uprated springs and shocks. They state they are for the SXE10 and GXE10.

    Upload isn't increasing. Most users should be complete by the end of May. http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyonder/get...page=bbs_faster

    The router is a wireless 'access point' so all wireless devices can talk to each other. If the PC is next to the router then I would use a fixed connection - easier to troubleshoot if you have connnectivity problems and better performance. Yes you just plug it into the cable modem - you would need to register the mac address with Blueyonder. Blueyonder are increasing download bandwidths to all broadband customers. Your 1Mb will increase to 1.5Mb :)

    You need to keep the blueyonder cable modem so you need to get a dual ethernet router Somthing like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=51436 PS has your Internet bandwidth been upgraded yet?

    No point in having a router if you don't want NAT, otherwise only one machine will be able to connect out. Linksys and Netgear do good home routers.

    EE means an error on both sides, EL is left and ER is right. You can reset the unit by holding down the power button for 2 seconds. Manual is here if you don't have it: http://www.tein.com/ti/inst/edfcu.pdf

    FYI, 1394 is an IEEE 1394 or firewire or Sony iLink port (whatever you want to call it). Normally used for digital video

    Are they around £300 + VAT?

    The Philips Blue vision are more white than stock bulbs but don't really compare with HIDs. Still they are good value and the only real 'legal' choice.

    Here is some pictures of the different types, don't know if that helps. http://www.piaa.co.uk/bulbs/bulbshow.asp?ID=xtwhite

    Epson printers always do well in photo tests. Worth getting one with individual colours otherwise it gets expensive if just one colour runs out.
  16. ColinBarber
    have a good one Craig :)

    TRD and cheap are not normally two words you see together :)

    The CEL will go out if the engine goes through 3 starts without an error. The error code will still be stored in the ECU.

    They may stick out passed the wheel arches - which is illegal. They may rub - mainly on the front with full lock They may affect handling and the steering wheel may no longer self-centre. It would be worth testing them if you can before you purchase them.

    I think the speakers are active which may complicate things. Worth posting that question on the US forums - there aren't many GS owners that have a modified stereo system in the UK.
  21. ColinBarber
    You need to short the E1 and TE1 terminals on either the DLC1 or 2 connectors for it to display the error codes. However OBD-II was implemented on the LS around 1995 so you may have OBD-II diagnostics. If that is the case you need to plug in an OBD-II reader to obtain the codes - the E1 and TE1 method will not work.
  22. ColinBarber
    Are you saying they are made so badly they vary between 35 and 42 The series II sport wheels are: PCD 5 x 114.3 Offset 45 Bore 60.1
  23. ColinBarber
    You not going to spray it then :P
  24. ColinBarber
    Hope you had a good day :)
  25. ColinBarber
