  1. was at POFF with no phone................was last post as well Maybe if Mr Daly had filled the order form in correctly then we would not have had this conversation
  2. May want to have a look here............at the details given to me..............you may notice something missing Customer: shaun daly giffords cross avenue corringham, ss177nj essex, United Kingdom Telephone Number: ********* E-Mail Address: shaun_daly88888 Shipping Address: shaun daly giffords cross avenue corringham, ss177nj essex, United Kingdom Billing Address: shaun daly giffords cross avenue corringham, ss177nj essex, United Kingdom Bit of background I ran out of 90 degree bends so had to get more in hence delay (they are a special type to fit under the bonnet) Customer said that it was a X-Mas present so I emailed saying if the part came in i may drive over to deliver it do make X-Mas as it was I didnt get a response so went to POFF to post out. When there POFF said the address needed a house number....I then noticed that the address was incomplete........... PO said there were properties in the road as I had promised to try & get it there in time I told POFF to post to 61 and then emailed customer saying why I had done it. Emails below. Lesson learnt will not bother to go the extra mile agian. Hi The silicon tube is on its way prob held up in X-Mas post. Where is Corringham near ? May drop it over for you Dave ok mate just send it when ever its all ready. shaun Hello, All ready to go. Parcelfoce will not collect until 29/12 Will try post office hi Posted first class....didnt have a house number............... sent it to number 61
  3. Neil, I've not said anything anti Tdi just stated a fact that the injectors they use (which you can buy for £45 each) have one hole while the ones I use have four like the OEM one. Its my opinion that that is why the tdi cars have starting problems and run rich. I may be wrong but hey ho. On your satisfaction with the work done I've been told different (by 3 different people who have spoken to you) but i try to deal in fact so until you say that you are unhappy I treat it as hearsay so would not make any comment accordingly. Facts are that the vast majority of people who have had major work done there are not happy. Could list them but TBH can't be arsed
  4. The injectors used by Tdi have one hole from which the petrol is squirted............the OEM lexus injectors have 4 holes...............as do the PE injectors. Typing from my bedroom I may be wrong but hey ho...........I'd say the ecu is expecting the fuel to be delivered in a particuler manner ?
  5. Buy a proper overide kit................................
  6. Made me look up I tell you....................... Think 2009 will see some big names dissapear
  7. I have T1-R's on the IS350 and they are very good..............did well in a sprint in the pooring rain as well
  8. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohh eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
  9. Excellent evening. Thinaks to John for sorting it all out. Think Mrs Mole & Nicola deserve a medal for coming along.................
  10. Change the discs for grooved/slotted along with caliper paint will look nice and improve the braking as well as looks of the car
  11. For what its worth there is no way on earth you will get this done on the budget we have discussed. If you want 3S-GE power chop yours in against a Tezza with it fitted and get a aftermarket turbo kit (trust.HKS/PE do them) or get the TOM's 280 on ebay...that may hold its value. All I'd suggest bearing in mind what Mat has pointed out to you that you get something in writing regarding costs and delivery time or it may end in tears Also the drive of your car will change drastically.............ask gord who has gone from a IS to a Altezza............lasted 3 weeks at most................... No matter what you decide good luck
  12. the Altezza head is completely different, the block oil gallery's are drilled different in the Altezza block as well as the oil needs to feed the VVTI operation of the cylinder head the 2 part sump and oil pick ups are totally different between the Altezza 3sge and the mr2 3sgte I agree Mat..............I remember there being an issue with the distributor as well. Good luck lookforward to reading the updates
  13. Had both.............IS200 s/c...............then is200 turbo..................and toyota aristo v300 with 400 bhp aristo is the dogs bollox BUT its fooking big you need to bear that in mind.................also only auto which is OK but for serious press on driving it keeps changing up when you don't want it.................. if you are a motorway driver all the time then its Aristo every time..............if you do lots of twisty road driving then its the IS200.............. Doing time attack & toyota sprint series in the aristo and my is350 i was 5/10 seconds quicker in the is350 every time.............is350 was 50 bhp down but much nimbler also fuel on the Aristo driven hard is low teens..............against low twenties for the IS200 What size turbo was your is200 running Dave ? t28bb

  15. More than likely, just the i's to dot and the t's to cross I did say it is a deal with the devil............. you have mail @ Gord the rotrex has no brackets made no piping made..............the tdi one has no drawings so will have to be done from scratch watch the ££££££££££££'s pile on @ Stav its not like for like..............second hand 90's technology against 2008 technology.............and new vs used unles you want to spend £5000 for a "new" TTE unit
  16. Looks like Lysholm S/C'd IS200 number two may be coming along soon...................
  17. I'd say there is only a few people who can say they have turbocharged lexus is200's (plural) TDI-PLC Charlesworth Motors A couple of others have done one ...sam with the black IS lives in MK and used a company from there. You may want to drop him a PM as I believe he had a few issues Other one escapes me..........

  19. went to lexus Sidcup................Toyota dealer next door fitted 2 new batteries..............both working..............mosy unusual for 2 fobs to have flat bats at the same time ...................nice to be able to look her up again !
