Not heard of problems with the series II OZ sport wheels but you never know. They are expensive - much more than the series I wheels. Somebody in LOC had a series I with series II wheels. Never saw a picture - I think they have sold the car now. -
All the best :)

Gs300 Mk2 Used Vehicle Pre-paid Plans?
ColinBarber replied to ces's topic in Lexus General Maintenance
Get a quote for the next two/three services and see if you will save money. They should cover all service requirements except cambelt change. -
You are not the only one that has had buckled MKI sport wheels.

You can buy the workshop manuals from Lexus. Use an online subscription company such as alldatadiy or get the 3rd party manual CDs that exist on ebay.

I wouldn't. EGR can reduce engine power but Toyota program the ECU to compensate for it and by disabling it you may get too high engine temps. or get knocking which will be detected by the knock sensors and retard ignition timing (which will reduce power anyway).

Rx400h
ColinBarber replied to LexusEdinburgh's topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
Lexus haven't release fuel consumpsion figures. The 600 miles won't be on the combined fuel figure. The engine runs all the time unless you come to a stop. The 400h is not just about economy. It's also being sold as a higher performance RX. -
Here's the location If you clamp the vacuum pipe going to the valve that will stop it.

I think you would be better off putting on a super/turbo charger. Have a look here for a start: http://www.swiftracing.com/

Not really sure what you are asking. An engine swap? If so then you would need ECU, radiator, gearbox etc as well as the engine. If you are thinking of selling you 300 and getting a 430 then I would say yes if you can afford it.

That is a very big drivetrain loss if those figures are correct, 25% :o
-
The belt will have a tendancy to move up to the guide. If something is wearing away at the edge the belt will keep moving forward.

Tried To Fit Coil Overs Today. Couldnt Do It Help!
ColinBarber replied to Brettster's topic in Brakes & Suspension
Did you have both wheels off the ground? Anti roll bar comes off easier if it's not being loaded on one side. -
They would have brought it in much lower than that unless the price has already been dropped.

wasn't aimed at you, anybody thinking of selling something.
-
If you want to auction something why not just put it on ebay and post a link within buy & sell?
-
Or is it that your old pads were worn and even new stock pads would have felt much better???
-
Yes Craig the dial locations are swapped over on LHD models so no good for UK cars.
-
If nobody else wants to download this I will remove it tomorrow.
-
I guess you get what you pay for. Fox wheels are cheap compared to BBS or OZ etc.
-
Not sure about the 1G-FE engine but nearly every other Toyota engine that uses a belt you just align the crank/camshafts put a new belt on and drive away - no engine damage.
-
The only one I can find is here: http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/taurus.htm It hasa foil aerial - you really need one that will use the bumper bar. Rodders has one fitted to his GS. They have some drawbacks - can be affected by rain and don't detect objects unless the vehicle is moving, but look much better than ultrasonic sensors.
