  1. Well mine would never drop below half way when pushing it on,only when idling or cruising on light throttle. So I guess I'm telling you it's worryingly low!
  2. Is it me or is your oil pressure worryingly low considering the revs and speed involved??
  3. Thanks Mat, I was wondering(hoping!) because there appears to be one in the diagram on TOYOTA EPC but there wasn't on the car....
  4. On a Front shock absorber there are 4 visible bolts in the engine bay. 3 are mounting nuts for the top mount itself,the 4th is the strut piston top nut. My question,is there a nut on the piston under the top mount as well as the one on top of it? Reason I'm asking is I have a knocking that I have narrowed down to the top mount area. Thanks
  5. I'll take them if you're throwing them away if thats OK!
  6. Someone explain this for me..........why is it there in the first place and what way does the car respond afterwards.... cheers The Flap allows extra air into the engine above 4750 rpm. It is closed below this as the extra air is not required. Disabling it will have no positive affect on performance (may even slow air intake velocity @ low rpm) It will make it sound a little louder though! I recon if toyota spent so much on such a complicated intake system it is best left alone as I doubt you will improve performance over the entire rev range by altering it.
  7. What manifold did you put on and have you tested it out yet?
  8. just came across this ALTEZZA SPORT INTERMEDIATE CENTRE PIPE (63.00mm) http://www.akamoto.co.uk/exhausts-lexus.asp might be what you're looking for.........
  9. I dont know how but It's a different part number from toyota I don't think it is. How is it different?
  10. I got the mid pipe with resonator and the exhaust back box from a regular is200 (1) cut the flange off the back box and throw the back box away :D (2) cut the mid pipe in 2 holding on to the piece with the resonator. (3) weld a straight pipe from the resonator to the flange fom the back box and now you have a perfect fit altezza de-cat pipe. I noticed an excellent gain from 1 -4k rpm and it got rid of the annoying flat spot @3500rpm. Excellent mod for the cost.
  11. There is 1 for an is200 on ebay but the coil pack is different on the altezza....... Hang on - I thought I saw one one Ebay the other day for a fiver... Let me check...
  12. Thank you Gents, I'll try and source the Blue Hylomar stuff
  13. I am replacing the sump on my RS200 and need to know what to use as a gasket sealant? It looks like a type of grey silicone and is rubbery like silicone. Anyone know what it is and where it can be got?
  14. @Robin H, Did you get a printout of hp/torque , I'd love to see the results for the RS200 would like to see if they all have the characteristic drop in torque @3600rpm.....
