  1. When the system is in closed loop then the information from the O2 sensors will reverse the setting. However when it's in open loop mode (under load/full throttle etc) the fuel computer should make a difference.
  2. I think there is only one newer version (unless one has just come out) so it's unlikey somebody would wish to sell it.
  3. An average would be 15% loss for a manual transmission and 20% loss for an auto. It's easier to guess with a manual, on a dyno you can drop it out of gear and the dyno will try and calculate the drivetrain losses.
  4. From the euroncap website: 21. Are large cars safer than small cars? From the laws of physics, all other things being equal, heavy cars do better than light cars when they are involved in a frontal impact. To avoid mass effects, Euro NCAP tests and compares cars within size categories. The safety of cars in a size category is not a function of mass, but it is dependent upon good design. 22. Can results be compared between groups? Results should only be compared within the same group. The frontal testing method mirrors a crash between two similar sized cars. Clearly a bigger car has an advantage if it hits a smaller car and Euro NCAP results can’t be used to predict the outcome of such crashes.
  5. You have to remember that NCAP ratings cannot be compared between different groups. e.g. 5 stars in a super mini is not the same as 5 stars in a large executive (GS300). They do not give any method of comparing the two which I think is very stupid. If you test a megane in the GS300 category will it get 1 star or 5 or probably something in between????
  6. methylated spirits or Isopropyl Alcohol are better than white spirits
  7. The site has been fine since moving to the new server the other day. Today looked like a DNS issue - I couldn't resolve the address.
  8. EDFC only fits to some of their coilovers not spring. Coilovers allow the height to be adjusted. Different models allow different height ranges but all of them will allow a drop more than the standard sport.
  9. I don't understand why specs type cameras aren't used more.
  10. It seems to calibrate instantly when you are not moving - probably does something in the background.
  11. Remote is a radio signal not Infra-Red so the receiver is not visible
  12. I only replace tyres in pairs. Sat Nav accuracy - Nearly all of the time it should have a GPS signal so doesn't use the wheel information. There is the recalibrate option within the Sat Nav anyway.
  13. There no real need to leave it open. My server has enough bandwidth to cope with the number of people downloading.
  14. TTE parts are orderable from Toyota dealers. As they are not normal stock items the discount may be less?
  15. Yes one of the domes is the auto light sensor and the other one is the sunlight sensor for the AC. However we are talking about the cabin temperature sensor.
  16. Best person to speak to about a spoiler is jdmparts_guru. Drop him a PM.
  17. I would think a Lexus dealer would only give you the same price as the jag dealer. I would keep your existing IS until you are ready for an RX
  18. some sport wheels on ebay at the moment. They are also available from your dealer although very expensive.
  19. worn on the inside and the outside? His tyre pressures are much to low then.
  20. It doesn't sound because vvt-i doesn't kick in.
  21. Please sent Chris a PM if you wish to enquire about parts.
