Dave-Ellen

much as I love the place its getting very expensive.

fuel to get there / hotels...........you really want a 4 lap ticket mounts up....

probably get 2 full track days over here for what you pay....

howver will still probably go !

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

Not true...................

there are proven kits that work at .5 bar and have for some years now.

key is a competant installer & mapper

interesting read here

ring inssurance.......

Edited....Hotel name removed

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

why cant you take it?

dont the locks work?

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:

Yeh the word through lexus is a full hybrid range. Think power modifications are gonna have to go to another level!

Also improvements in Battery design resulting in bigger boot space will not be announced will jujst happen.............

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

would have thought a dog would be better security than a cat :P

actually its a toad

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

Car is ready..........

But..............

Thought not

Anyway from what Phil was telling me at santa pod, James (i think) has done lots of work on this engine in the past (way over 300bhp) so with the work he has done to Phil's car it is making 300bhp no problem :D

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

much as I love the place its getting very expensive.

fuel to get there / hotels...........you really want a 4 lap ticket mounts up....

probably get 2 full track days over here for what you pay....

howver will still probably go !

A track day around a very small track @ RAF base is just not the same :o i can see why you like it mind ..... its cheap :P

think i've done more track days and trips to the ring than you old boy

hope to see you at the ring at the weekend as my car should be ready for wednesday

BTW its not a track day you refer to its a competition there are places available so you can always bring your lexus along to show me how its done.............

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thought so

Well yes Dave i do, the only time i can last was what against ? your 420bhp aristo ? or all the other more powerful cars of the day, but i seem to remember doing rather well the last time in went to such a track day big old German slug i think you once called it ? seem to remember getting much better times than your 370bhp lexus

I did note, you not said you came last in the time attack series or anything else you may or may not have entered

Nice to see you can respond....

tis a shame coming last but at least you tried................and your car was not the least powerful you were spanked by a 67 bhp Toyota Aygo but hey ho think you had more than double the BHP

Regarding Time Attack..................At least I entered ...in a road going car fully trimmed but again hey ho (may have ago next year in the Soarer and if last then will admit defeat)

Also was never last in TSS indeed 10th overall at Teesside i believe

Last event with your german barge was in the wet at barkston when 4wd does give a bit of a helping hand .......think you were 2,5 seconds faster which is not that much all in all..............however

Hope to see you this weekend...will give you a copy of the letter you keep texting me about :winky:

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)

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

I have got a schematic of the IS200 ECU as well as Altezza 3S-GE

Shows all pin outs and what they do.

Useful for fitting piggy back ecu's etc

if you want one email me here

prolexuk at gmail dot com and I'll whizz it out to you

should be there doing a shake down session in my Soarer.
