Hey everyone,

I know I have been a bit quiet of the past 12months with changing jobs I just don't have that much time in front of a PC like I use too. But I am now back in a Toyota. My Yellow Lexus IS200 is going to be sold as I just picked a Tornado Grey Manual GTS. All I can say is this car has exceed my expectations for a standard the car. The handle and the power are great. Power isn't as bad as what people are making it out to be. Its very useable if your in the right gear and more than enough to get in you trouble.

Here are some pics I took yesterday.

Downshiftaus recently asked for me to write an article....bare in mind this is the first time I had to write something and it is my opinion only.

http://www.downshiftaus.com/2012/wills-new-ft-86/

Car has hit just over 2,000kms and I am loving every minute of it. Since I was doing the above article I also decided to take some more pics. Hopefully new plates should be here this weekend.

Congrats on the new ride! Question, i noticed you had an extra switch next to the side mirror controls, does the GTS have folding mirrors?!? Cheers Steve!

Yep it sure does! Thankfully they didn't remove that when they imported them. Comes in real handy.

Good feedback!

First thing I would be doing is removing the dealer billboards (aka number plate surrounds). Makes a much cleaner look.

I wouldn't be able to handle anything hanging from the mirror, as it would swing around and probably hit me in the face when going around a nice/fun corner.

why don't you buy the optional pack, the spoiler is hot... I don't like the factory look of 86 without spoilers and skirts.I like NA cars, they roar at high RPM which is fun

Nice!!

So when are the mods coming? :spiteful:

Ive heard with just the intake and exhaust changed you get a heap more power as they are very restricted motors...

The local performance workshop claims that they can dyno tune a stock standard BRZ , and achieve 15nm more torque and 10kw more power.

They are also investigating exhaust mods.

They were taken at Putty Road at the Halfway House. Really cool spot there is a guy there that does Sausage Sangas and Beacon and Egg Rolls.

Yellow plates are only a tempory thing. Just waiting for my plates to come in....honestly it doesn't bother me I can't see it while I am driving ;)

If I want are shopping trolley I would head down to the local Coles. Aero pack does nothing for me and I wasn't going to pay extra 4k on top for something I would hate. Clean and simple is the way to go.

Love the new ride mate!

Cheers mate! We gotta catch up soon!

loving the interior, black and red stitching :wub:

One of the main reasons I went for the GTS. All the little extras.

This weekend at WTAC its going to be interesting to see what workshops have installed.

Interesting! :D

Thanks mate! I wouldn't hold your breath. The car is staying stock. Money spent on wheels etc I will be putting towards my Cappuccino when that car is finished then I may look at doing some stuff to the 86.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
