    Do you mean a turbo and a supercharger together? There are rumours that VW will do this to a 1.4 in the golf next year, about 170bhp

    I'm not technically minded either, but there are 2 sorts, the stuff you get on the yank tanks - a "roots" type, and the one fitted to the cars here. Both are driven from a belt from the crankshaft - the bit that the pistons drive - they then drive a turbine in the air intake to push more air into the engine. You can then pump in a bit more fuel and get a stronger explosion in the cylinders. Now watch me get shot down!!

    sounds like a trip to the garage is in order. Mine used a litre of oil in 10000 miles

    Rs200 Specs

    altezzaz replied to Robin H's topic in Altezza Club

    much lighter engine and no power seats!

    It's probably worth pointing out that Subaru are looking to raise their prices, so I suspect all Japanese manufacturers will do the same to capitalise on the perceived quality image, and to distance themselves from the Koreans. Sounds like the Lexus is still 20% cheaper than the BMers, and you won't have to wait 3 months for it to be built to your precise specification. What I'm trying to say is that the era of the really cheap executive quality car may well be over.

    A very silly reply..... but most systems have a sticker to tell you which refridgerant they use

    Altezza

    altezzaz replied to badboy_bazz's topic in Altezza Club

    The Manual RS is a little tricky to get hold of and there are a few companies that will try to palm you off with the AS200. I had an RS200 for 3 years and it was great fun

    I didn't think you were allowed to modify the engine in France?
  11. altezzaz
    Not sure anyone has imported an AS300 before, and I'm afraid I don't know what the rules are on on personal imports, but last time I the SVA rules mean that you can only import the RS200 tiptronic - please make sure you find out before you're lumbered with a car you can't drive...

    Drivers side is 22 and passenger side 19, if memory serves

    one thing I've noticed about the new surfaces is that they don't drain as well either, but they didn't mention that last night
  14. altezzaz
    but it'll probably cost more than either of the existing models so everyone can be happy again!

    A few of the angles are different, though as the 4 cylinder is lighter than the 6.
  16. altezzaz
    It's the same as the IS - see here: previous thread
  17. altezzaz
    seems remarkable value, go for it! (subject to AA inspection/HPi check/whatever else makes you feel comfortable) Only 154 Hp, though

    what about sunroof? It's not standard on the Altezza
  19. altezzaz
    depends on the age of the car, but look for Toyota badges in the text of the windows. If the rear speakers are stock, the UK spec cars say "Lexus...". Mine say something ridiculous like "super wide sound"....

    I bought a duff unit a couple of years ago, sent it off for reconditioning, and when it came back they said they wouldn't warranty their work. I had such a feeling of reassurance!
  21. altezzaz
    is it just on this tank of gas? Are there any mods to your car?
  22. altezzaz
    you can get them repaired by the same place that Lexus use but it might be cheaper to get a new head unit
  23. altezzaz
    Is something wrong with 4wd? You get pushed and pulled....
  24. altezzaz
    Sorry it's running right at the mo - just to give everyone a better picture, what fuel did you use last time around - Super or Regular? Do you know if there's any other mods to the car? Do you know any big chaps who can go and hassle the exhaust fitters for you? :winky:
  25. altezzaz
    The supra racers used the 3S-GE as it's light and can be tuned to around 750 bhp....
