Cribbj, Well now you will see i am only 26 and been into the car scene for the last ten years. Up until this set up i had never seen the a slide throttle and was quite impressed with its simplicity and low profile. I honestly don't understand why they aren't as commonly used as the butterfly...

Guys, I may sound a little uneducated, i know. A couple of years ago @ Summernats in Canberra in saw an interesting creation. I can't remember what it was called nor the best way to descirbe it so please bare with me. But it was a very basic quad throttle bodie set up, but the unique part was...

Guys, I am just curious. This set up using the 8 throttle bodies ( 2 sets off of a 4ag-ze engine ), do they bolt straight on to the standard runners or are they modified to fit ? Regards Stephen

Lex, What i was thinking is that the soarers are speed limited to 180km/h. I believe the sc400's are getting 140m/h. I also know that you have a dial dash, no digital dash maybe they are not limited at all, maybe they are not monitored as there is no electronic pulse ? I have looked up on...

To all the American SC400 owners, Re: EGR system fitted to the American cars. I know very little of how the system works or effects the ECU ? Considering i am an Skip with a Soarer this would be expected. What i am looking to find out is how the EGR works and effects the engine, if it...

R-Jay, Whilst i realise this is pricy @ $600 that was a couple of years ago, dont know how much now ? These other piggy back systems i have read about like the Apexi are about two hundred dollars, i have heard that the auto doesn't shift as good ? I looked up Harry Lehmans speed cut ecu, it...

To all, Whilst i do know there is ways of getting around the speed limiter by means of installing a piggy back device. I am some what of a tight as! and dont wish to fork out the dollars especially if there is another way around it. R-Jay, your a smart cookie thats exactly what i was looking...

Thank you for the reply Chrisman. Come on guys, there must be one of you Americans out there with an SC400 ? Could someone please assist me with a sure answer. Regards Stephen

I need to get my cars air con totally regased. I have looked everywhere under the bonnet to try find a sticker to say what gas is used but nothing. Has anyone had there system done recently and knows ? Regards Stephen

Is there an American out there who can help me ? This may sound crasy but i was wondering if the American version of the Soarer being the true Lexus SC400 was speed limited ? I do understand there was a lot of differences between the Sc400 and the Soarer. I thought there may be a chance that it...

High all, For you out there who are in Sydney or wish to send the pats away. Nearly four years ago now when i brought my limited the screen went on the EMV and the LCD on the dash started blanking out. Went aorund to car yards, rang TV repairers couldn't find anyone. Most had never heard of...

Lambo, My apologies. I got very tied up on the weekend, i forgot to borrow my mates digital camera and didin't have the time to trymake a schematic. I did how ever have a quick look and the plug/s are different to the one you described. I will try to do it during this week if not deffinately...

Guys, The first thing you have to decide is what you want the car to do for you ? Performance or luxury ? maybe you want both ? If you want performance without spending dollars the tt 2.5 for sure. If you are looking for a comfy ride with a bit of class and luxury the Limited hands down. If...

Maxpower, Me personally, i probably couldn't pick the two apart ? I know of them from when i replaced my exhaust system from the cats back. When i drove it out the light on the dash was on, when i questioned it, the exhaust guy showed me the two sets of sensors and explained what they do. My...

Lambo, Your a good man. Leave it with me, over the weekend ill try open it up and have a look. Ill see if i can make up a scematic or borrow my mates camera and take some photos. I was just thinking about what you said ? If you didn't have the display how do you know what the white plug...

Zuffen, Thanks heaps. Regards Stephen

Lextreme, ???? are you talking about the standard ecu ? There are probably much better units out there but it was ok for free. Very simple unit, two buttons each end of the display. Two panels of led's showing the height, red= low ,yellow= standard and green= high. It adjusts independently...

Gloverman, I am not sure of the model but it's a Hi- ace as well. Standard crown engine with standard computer. Using all the stock bits except custom exhaust without the Temp sensors only. Co2 sensors are being used. Regards Stephen
