  1. yikes, hope its something simple and can be fixed easily
  2. Lexus are a waste of time - they say that its not possible to fit anything other than the standard head unit. You can also get the adapter from AutoToys in the US (same product as SQ+ I think): http://store.autotoys.com/cgi-bin/wfp53024...ct/View/KIT8151
  3. new clutch next week hopefully, back down to <6 torque converter should give you an extra 0.5s if it behaves anything like a torque converter on an IS300
  4. your car is an auto isn't it? do you have a torque converter on it?
  5. does this explain the engine mounting problems? two different versions of the Supra engine, one with 6 bolt mounting and newer one with 8 bolts.
  6. 2 people = extra weight = extra grip? :iraqi-info-minister: clutch wasn't slipping when you were in the car, once a new clutch is in place it should be better. higher revs on launch required as well - video launch was at about 2,500rpm should be approx 3,000 rpm for good launch i've found.
  7. Made a video tonight with my digital camera (thats why quality is not great!). 3.2Mb Clutch is slipping badly so not that quick but anyway.... http://www.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/alb...01/MVI_0461.avi
  8. hmm, same here! i am currently making boxes for the subwoofers. i have bought a wiring converter and it doesn't fit so will need to do something else. here is the system that i'm fitting: Optima Yellow Top Battery (fitted by TDi) SQL+ Fascia plate (purchased, waiting to fit) Audiotoys Toyota Wiring Harness (doesn't fit!) Alpine 9013R Head Unit (purchased, waiting to fit) 1 x Audiobahn 1801DQ (purchased, waiting to fit) 2 x Audiobahn AWT12X (purchased, waiting to fit) Focal Utopia 165W2 Components (purchased, waiting for delivery) Focal Audiom 6W (purchased, waiting for delivery) HiFonics ZX6400 (purchased, waiting for delivery) 18mm MDF (purchased, in the hall at home!) Sub-boxes - started to make from above MDF I will be taking notes and pictures when I install so I'll post up any info thats useful
  9. From my last post - the bit on the underside of the bar is not a shadow or a reflection! Also notice how the pipe is flatter than it should be - if you look closely (in real life) you can see where it gets rubbed by the bar.
  10. thank Matt and Zee, i was a bit worry then, hehehehe...... :D :D the strut will fit with the standard S/C and induction kit S/C although you may experience rubbing (look at the underside of the bar and top of the pipe in my pics above)
  11. This weeks autosport has 2 ex altezza touring cars (tsport cars from new zealand). 2L, 250hp @ 13:1 compression. spboyce@toyota.co.nz
  12. Cusco Strut on N/A: Cusco Strut on S/C: TDi Induction Kit on N/A: Looks like a tight fit, I'd check before buying.
  13. think it was toms that made them - not sure you can get them anymore though. not sure if the us ones are toms or a copy.
  14. Woman driving it today should be :tsktsk: banned or go back to driving her bmw. Entered bus lane, Nearly knocked cyclist off bike Reached end of bus lane and wouldn't let anyone merge :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk:
  15. thanks very much, just ordered, collecting tomorrow
  16. Does anyone know who makes these rear lights - the inner ones and the tail ones. Manufacturer and part numbers would be v.helpful (I know you can get them from www.i-m-racing.com but ideally need the manufacturer and part numbers)
  17. think it depends on your cd player - if you have the old style player with the CD at the bottom then just the harness is ok, if you have the new one the rewiring is required. hmm, doesn't fit my car
  18. Yep, you can do 30 in 1st! Normally do it in 2nd, 3rd or 4th if I'm on my own in the car (depends how I feel like driving). If I'm driving girlfriend or others then 6th gear.
  19. What about first gear - seem to remember doing 30 in first (could be wrong - will test on the way home tonight!)
  20. Didn't like the second film - even less realistic than the first! american police cars keeping up with an EVO, don't think so somehow
