No not the cats, there are 3 cats one after each header then one in the "y" before it splits into two long resonators then off to the back boxes

Nice cars, and great fun, just got mine back this morning after having both resonators removed, sounds sweet, cats out next

Hi all

Is there anyone in Milton Keynes that has an rx300 I could have a measure up of ...... Want to see if one would take my fishing gear.........

Cheers tel

Ouch

I would challenge anyone to have pads/discs that do not make any noise from cold esp when they have been sitting all night and are damp ...... Very noticeable in an auto esp if backing off drive as you will be riding the brakes as you do so !,,

I bet lol ....... How's your back ??? Repaired the heater on my 4x4 last week fell out twice lol that amused everyone, still, it works now

Always use k&n on all my cars and bikes

Only going on what I've read for your model, mines a gs430, but others use this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370637929115

Has all the features you would ever need plus the quality

K&n excellent quality

Glad you found it those problems can be the worst to find

Fitted mtec discs to my gs430 along with ebc ultimax pads and they work as well if not better than the originals................ Don't get the issue, within reason a disc is a disc and can as such be considered pretty much universal, there are many manufacturers of discs out there that have been at it a lot longer than toyota, original ....... Pah !!! Just a rip off price for nothing special

Hi all

Just wondering how long /far it takes your gs 430 to warm up ? ... Mine seems to take about 4 miles, almost suggesting stat is permenently stuck open, once warm it stays spot on the half way mark on the gauge ..............

Hiya and welcome

There should be a rubber bung in the back of the brake housing towards the bottom using a flat bladed screw driver to rotate the cog will either put more brake on or rotate the other way to take brake further off ..... And yes a really good clean out is required to totally get rid of noise also check brake disc shield for rubbing , evident by shiny areas

Although mine is a gs , I had the same issue that sounded like the front but was the back discs and the rust in the groove causing the noise, removal and a good clean up ensued wire brush, flat bladed screw driver , and few micrometers ground off back plate with flap disc cured problem, which is shown in the excellent picture shown here in this thread, my front end braking judder was virtually cured with a set of front lower no.2 control arms a new set of mtec discs, and a set of unimax ebc brake discs which are very good at bedding in discs

Tyres designed to rotate in one direction only or with an asymmetric tread pattern must be fitted the right way round

Standard car tyres have a symmetrical tread pattern that is the same across the whole width of the tyre. The tread pattern on an asymmetric car tyre changes across the tread with different parts adapted for particular functions.

The outside edge consists of large stiffer tread blocks which help with cornering. The inner tread blocks are smaller and designed to shift water and improve wet grip. The middle of the tread usually has a continuous rib to help straight line stability.

Asymmetric tyres must be fitted the right way round on the wheel to benefit from the tread block arrangement. The sidewalls will be clearly marked.

Directional tyres

Directional tyres usually have a chevron or arrow pattern in the tread and are designed to work in only one direction of rotation.

Directional tyres disperse water that builds up in front of the tyre more effectively, reduce road noise, and improve directional stability.

They must rotate in the right direction and this will be clearly marked on the sidewall of the tyre.

If a directional tyre is fitted the wrong way round, the tyre won't be dangerous, but you won't gain any of the benefits of it's design.

Incorrect fitting of both asymmetric and directional tyres is a reason for MOT failure.

Some high performance cars are fitted with directional and asymmetric tyres. These must be fitted the right way round on the wheel and on the correct side of the vehicle.

From the aa site

Mmmmmm interesting point, must admit I wouldn't have given that a second thought, but since having looked at mine the fronts have inside and outside written on them .... How does that work then ??? ... Unless its the way the water gets pushed out !

Speed doesn't cause accidents bad driving does. Speed makes an accident worse if it happens but driving 5 feet behind someone on the motorway is far far more dangerous than driving 100+ on a completely empty motorway.

Welcome to the forums, enjoy the car

Just renamed my GS430 the rain maker ........... Rains without fail every time I clean her lol

Welcome, great cars

REMEMBER you need to have ALL commonsense and driving ettiquette removed b4 driving a BMW/AUDI

So true

Lexus all the way, shame they don't make a 4x4 with load capacity of a ford explorer

Land Cruiser amazon?

Not a Lexus but I get where your coming from and the American 5.7 is very nice but prob way too big lol

Think I will err towards the handling side and stick to 8.5j max on rear, and go 19 or 20 and fit some coilovers, cheers rick and Dave for the help
