if the garage do the normal change it doesnt get rid of all the old ATF fluid. Guy I used would flush the old out with new..................cost 60% more due to ectra fluid but you had 100% new fluid so was beter

mine is 4.8 0-60 on road tyres................................ may well slip the r888's on for a laugh................... on my current rum of luk I'll leave the rear diff on the floor

May pop along in the IS350

Hopefully this guy will take it off my hands. Seems like a nice guy Not true Anees, ive had Volvo T5 auto and shogun auto :o Did it sell Dave Sort of. Chap liked it and agreed a price. Needs to speak to his wife now. Has a Soarer 2.5TT needs more room as he has a child now. Will call me to confirm either way in the next day or so. Am quietly hopeful

Just ordered the HKS FCD................

Hopefully this guy will take it off my hands. Seems like a nice guy

Very nice Dave :D give you £500 more than your chopped in price for the Aristo :P £8k and its yours old boy 7k and i would be intrested :winky: Got a viewer coming round tonight at 6pm so its fingers crossed. Porker was overpriced and guy was quite pushy...also was not full PSH last was non dealer...must be full if he wants top ££

Hoping the pilot remembers to use the right flaps............................(spanish crash...

May have been an idea to have kept it somewhere so people thinking of buying it would know what questions to ask to make sure they don't get sent the wrong parts

Just about to leave for Thiefrow and then onward to New York for a few days First holiday of this year so looking forward to the break :winky:

Barrie & jane are away so probably Mat or Steve. Can't see why TBH as there is nothing defamatory in there

think its affecting most cars (not hybrids) you can get low mileage 2005 Audi 3.2 TT's for £10k even Porsche prices are weak

Same price as the other. Quality doesnt come cheap i'm afraid...............will give you 220bhp (gord had his dyno'd)

Will ask Tom to post up a blog type thing so you can see the progress. He's having TTE coilovers/Prolex-UK manifold/HKS silent back box fitted as well. Will be running with an induction kit as well so should sound quite nice will this kit fit if i have one of the cheap manifolds or will it need a bracket welded on to it. would like to see the progress Not sure if it would fit thinking about it. What I'll do is get it (bracket) made to fit the OEM manifold so that means its 99% sure to fit your manifold what would it cost for this conversion dave cos if it works well i might be interested as an alternative to the tte one pm me if you want Price is tucked away on this thread I believe. Not allowed to PM as I'm not a trader (well I can send but not receive !! but choose not to) In theory it will be better than the TTE one as the charger itself is more efficient as its a newer design.

Excellent. Not an auto so no problems there Interesting to see what power it gets w/out an intercooler though

seen them on ebay think its dodgy as they offer ferraris as well............. there "stock" just in the ferraris the say are for sale is over 2 million £..................

Is being done at Steves hopefully mid to late october. Will be sans intercooler initially as Lysholm say with .3 bar it doesnt need one. Tom will then take the car away for a while and bring it back for us to fit an intercooler a la TTE Dyno figures will be taken and made available.

Think it will get worse with the situation in America with the Lehman bank going under

Tis a HKS FCD you need................sold several to a Cypriot tuner a while ago

Hpe u enjoy it Mr M

I'm fine thank you. Fact is the IS300 auto gearbox is not capable of an accurate dyno as it can't be held in a particular gear to enable accurate readings to be taken. Manual is300 no problem...........pre 98 Soop no prob auto IS300 no way IS300 auto will not work end of............. ok, whatever you say I'll also say that driven with any sort of ooooopmhh your car will go pop soon as you need more fuel and uprated rods/pistons as the 2jz-fe is like the 1jz-ge in rod/piston configuration. It is running 7-8 psi which is safe and even you have stated that in this club. GTE with toyota means uprated rods (H shaped and proper low compression ratio pistons) FE means fuel economy so hign compression for fuel economy......adding boost will fook this up............. I did tell you this when you were deciding wether to go for turbo or s/c a while ago. I was still waiting on the proposed supercharger info you were going to obtain from Lysolm and the completed IS200 utilising a Lysholm charger, it was all talk and no results. Can you publish the AFR ratios you are running ? The car has been tuned by a very affluent tuner from the Toyota industry. For what its worth the installation on your car could well have been done by Steptoe & Son. The air filter location is a joke as is the ecu location...but hey ho you pays your money & you take your choice. The location of the air filter and ecu location has nothing to do with the fitter as its supplied from Vortech like that and there is always room for improvement. Have you ever completed a turboed or supercharged IS300 that was put back on the road 100% complete? NO I hope you enjoy many miles of trouble free motoring but will say to any IS300 owners looking to follow you to undertake vigorous due diligence before parting with any money I am sure i will. Why can you not congratulate/support members? Is it because your S/C IS300 went tits up you have to try and put down what I have achieved. You do not know everything and there are sources that know alot more than you with particular reference to the IS300. I am sure we will meet one day. Just seen this. "My" IS300 project stopped because the customer could not pay his bill........... period. The Lysholm IS200 s/c project is in a weird in as much as the customer has paid for the s/c which is at Glossop waiting for the customer to contact me to continue the install. No car no install and its his property not mine so all i do is send emails to the guy and wait for him to drop his car off....I can't even give him his money back as I cant get his bank details....there you go. I stand by what I say about the standard of finish of your conversion when I say it at the WIM open day. My comments made publically is what members who know about conversions etc also said when we looked at it. Compare it to Dave Reads car............no contest. I also stand by the comments made on the fact that you cant get a acurate dyno reading from an IS300 auto I also say you should check you AFR ratios as the fuelling on your car is, in all prabability, not correct and very soon you will be looking for a new 2JZ-GE unit if you drive the car agressively. By no manner of means do I state anywhere I know everything about the IS300 or any other matter. I do however try to steer customers in the right direction based on my own limited knowledge and not soley by looking for a sale. My principle grievance with what you are saying is someone naive enough may take what you are saying at face value............do what you have done and end up with a engine/gearbox blow up. My comments give them the chance to seek other opinions and make a judgement based on that. Final point "my" IS300 conversion used the 2JZ-GTE block for longevity based on evidence from 2 of the top tuners in America who advocate 2JZ-GTE block swaps for people wanting reliable power from the IS300

To damage the s/c etc you must have had a big prang

Very nice Dave :D give you £500 more than your chopped in price for the Aristo :P £8k and its yours old boy Its only 7k on ebay, with no reserve :o indeed but i've had an offer to buy off fleabay....

Date put back til 6/10 will post up publication dates etc as soon as I have them
