  1. Had a look for Dave today but could not see him. Will have a look tomorrow again so we can say Hi. I will pay for a lap for you Dave if you take me as a passenger :winky: That coz I'm here. Alarm did not arrive until yesterday PM (being fitted Monday) and as mentioned on previous thread my insurance is void until its cat 1 or cat 2 'd so could'nt come out to play
  2. Not true................... there are proven kits that work at .5 bar and have for some years now. key is a competant installer & mapper
  3. interesting read here ring inssurance....... Edited....Hotel name removed
  4. I also thought all imports had to have a cat 2 as minimum so thats what i said to Mr Flux.....when the form came to say what make I was stymied as there was none ! @ Annees not driven it yet but guy doing set up said at hardest setting it was bone jarring. Has fiddled with damping settings and says its now firm but nice. Hopefully will be able to report back later today. I've sold loads of the BC with no bad reports to date couple of guys on here bought them not sure if they've commented
  5. they do but insurance was granted on basis it had a cat 2 alarm which I thought it had.....they will not pay out for theft as it is now....its in a locked compound in a locked & alarmed workshop so quite safe Should be ready for me to take it to the ring though :winky:
  6. Also improvements in battery design resulting in bigger boot space will not be announced will jujst happen.............
  7. would have thought a dog would be better security than a cat :P actually its a toad
  8. That's not an IS Hybrid - it's the HS250 hybrid - a bit of a parts bin special using parts of the FWD Euro Avensis, the four cylinder US Camry engine and Prius hybrid technology. It's not coming to the UK. Talking to a guy from Lexus the other day they are planning to have a full hybrid line up by 2012. The LS460 is being dropped in the UK, leaving the LS600h only, the new RX is hybrid only, the GS will be 450h only, and the next IS will be dropping the diesel and going all hybrid as well. Broadly what the MD of Lexus Germany told me last year
  9. Car is ready.......... But.............. Alarm not here :-( At the moment it has no security at all so can't take it til the cat 1 is fitted.....bit fed up
  10. Do the the math...also go to each website................ if as you say its WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over 300 bhp lets see the dyno....I've pointed people at where mine are.....also will pay for his car to go to germany to do a top speed shoot out Or santa pod (did the car do a run ?........ think my is350 did a 14.1 (Can't find the slip & it was damp) Or any track day.......even in my 270 bhp 1992 jalopy or the IS350 or the wifes bog standard mr2 ZZW30 Please read my post Proof........................simple really Two hopes Bob Hope & No Hope Pleased to run against it at any track day in the soarer/350/mr2 must drive there & home again

  15. You care to post your dyno charts for your (no anymore) 420bhp aristo & 370bhp is350 yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn always thought my risto was quoted at 400bhp which is what the 1.2 bar manual soops with vvt-i are dyno'd at with same mods as mine..... regarding the is350 check out JUN-TW website where they show the dyno of a n/a is250 which is 25 bhp more with their manifold................then the TOM's website who's dyno shows the normal is350 s/c with 352 bhp so 352 + 25 = 384 without fact mine is supercharged so my figure is conservative methinks............ also someone with more brains than me could probably say that a car with the weight & frontal area of my car produces at least the bhp I claim when it does 165 mph (GPS validated) on the autobahn anyway this is offtopic................. lets see the dyno for Yeldarbs beast
  16. Been following this with interest. See you are getting "over 300 bhp" from this I do not recall seeing a dyno chart showwing this ? Do I need to go to spec savers or was one never posted up ? One reason I ask is there are a lot of 3S-GTE engined cars running in the TSS and none get anywhere near this BHP figure without forged pistons and uprated rods which I'm not sure you had done (again may need to go to spec savers)
  17. i'm sure a mod will sort your gold membership out very quickly
