    coulthard doing well again!
  2. ColinBarber
    have you got some new round wheels Steve or are you still on the square ones?
  3. ColinBarber
    the pcd is 5x 114.3 The bore is 60.1 The polished wheels look good on Canter's IS. Anybody else want a set?
  4. ColinBarber
    aren't they in the exhaust
  5. ColinBarber
    This is a 3S-GE engine not the 1G-FE IS200 engine. Redline is higher.
  6. ColinBarber
    I think most people have that problem ;)
  7. ColinBarber
    No not really, maybe the idle was a little more stable. I think the biggest difference that people have noticed is gear change with e-shift so may be worth doing on IS300, GS300 and GS400. Most people disconnect their battery when installing the kits and notice a difference afterwards - trouble is you cannot tell if the differences come from the kit or from the ECU reset

    This is where my kit came from although it was custom made due to the battery location being different on LHD/RHD models: http://www.teckkits.com/

    Spoiler was added after and so the rear window brake light was disconnected. A chip can be upto 10mm diameter within the drivers immediate line of sight zone and up to 40mm within the rest of the wipers area and pass an MOT Stone chips need to be cut/polished down level - will look much better then Sounds like the wings need a good 3 stage polish.

    I don't think you can use anything but the original Lexus discs which are made by Aisin.
  11. ColinBarber
    May just have been a bad battery. Have you tried another one?
  12. ColinBarber
    and you need the ECU.
  13. ColinBarber
    You need to get the error code read by your dealer to find out what the fault is - otherwise we are just guessing what the problem is although it sounds like a problem with the throttle.
  14. ColinBarber
    There would be something like 0.3s difference between 0-60 and 0-62 if there is no extra gearchange is needed. The TTE supercharger is around £3000 + fitting.
  15. ColinBarber
    Toyota have TRD and TTE. Most mod parts for the 430 are in the US as that is the biggest market.
  16. ColinBarber
    See if the warning light on the dashboard comes on when the boot is open. If it does then the bulb is gone. If it doesn't then the sensor is at fault.
  17. ColinBarber
    Welcome to LOC and congratulations on your new car.
  18. ColinBarber
    So will it be even better if it was more stiff? Time to get the TRD ones??
  19. ColinBarber
    They look a bit like OZ Hydra http://www.ozracing.com/shared/car/classic/02_big.jpg
  20. ColinBarber
    I think screwfix sell G3. T-Cut is fine although it can leave very fine scratch marks - so go over it with scratch-x after.
  21. ColinBarber
    Try using superunleaded petrol and see if it still knocks. FYI - vvt-i doesn't kick in
  22. ColinBarber
    I think some of the LCs have 6 stud wheels?
  23. ColinBarber
    The 4 cylinder engine is a newer design and has had more R&D into it which is why it produces more power. Most of it's power however is high up the rev range and therefore is not really 'Lexus' The 6 cylinder engine is used in it's market because it is smooth however it is poor on fuel and emissions and as with most small 6 cylinder engines is not good on low down torque.
  24. ColinBarber
    Four, as in four cylinder? Surely not! Lexus must never launch a car less than 6 cylinders! I suppose it'll just be the engine in the Avensis? Haven't Lexus already said they don't want to put in a 4 cylinder diesel. I thought there was talk about using the 3.0 BMW engine which is excellent.
  25. ColinBarber
    Looks good Geoff.
