  1. WOW, you have doubled the power! how does the car handle the extra boot? Well done, i bet your a happy camper. :D
  2. WOW! thats cheap! You work at Toyota dont you Lylee?
  3. Tanabe springs installed. Need to adjust the drivers side headlight.. not sure why its a bit low..
  4. Bad news, the 15w HID reverse kits are only made for specific vehicles. No T20 kit as of yet. There is a T10 kit i believe, so maybe mods could be done to that to get it to fit the T20 socket. The t20 plug in wont be an issue, just the mounting/socket. On a lighter note, the T20 PIAA super terra extremes did quite well.. EDIT, Seems most of the kits are 921 size, which is between a T10 and a T20. Im pretty confident that these could be made to fit the housing easy enough. Hmmm...... let me think about this... Ok, after a bit more research, The 921 should have a base very very close to a T10 socket... maybe 0.5 of a mm in it, but should be cool. Now just to match the twist in to the housing....
  5. Installed Tanabe springs, 25mm drop at the front, 30mm at the rear. Nice, smooth and better braking, sharper steering, no loss in ride quality. Pics to come: Installed IPF XP-50 6,000k T10's (parkers) and Mtech 6,000k D2C 6,000k blubs: Results tonight..
  6. Fiddled with the LS430 today..Installed new carbon air condish filter, MTec 6,000k D2C bulbs (low beam) and IPF XP-50 6000k 3w SMD T10's (parkers). Had Tanabe springs installed yesterday. 25mm drop at the front, 30mm at the rear. Smooth, beautiful springs. Only 10-15% firmer than OEM. Sharper steering, better braking, nice and smooth still. Hanging for my Klouds, Dammmit!

  8. Wheel Fitment, Tyre Stretch, Rolling Radius and Speedometer Error Calculator: http://www.willtheyfit.com/
  9. Ah ok, looks like they are a standard sizing. Same as the one i have ordered. Thanks Dave
  10. While searching around, i came across these collars, designed to eliminate any subframe movement, strengthening the entire subframe/rail, increasing straight line handling and higher precision turn in. Rigid collars for ZRE INFO HERE Video explanation here: Just over AU250 per set + postage
  11. the LS is now 25mm lower and 30mm lower at the rear, still nice and smooth too,,,

  12. Got insurance? I would expect them to be quite highly priced new form Toyota. Most small damage can be plastic welded and fixed.. Look for and ring a bumper exchange in your area, but i doubt they will have any yet.
  13. Dam Dave! I just ordered a pensioner pair off ebay!! <_< i recon the same day you bloody put this up too. Sorry man, would have rather got it from you.. Whats the size of yours?
  14. Dam man, did you email the seller re the problem? Thats no good at all. Sorry to hear that. Re time taken to install the OEM footwells, i agree, at least a few hours work.
  15. Greetings, My new PIAA Super TERA Evolution T20 6,000k white reverse lights arrived today from Japan. Just installed them in the LS430. I have tried a number of different T20's for the reverse light application, and these exceed and are by far are the best i have tested. Light is a crisp, clean and pure white, with very minimal blue hue. The brightness of the output is quite amazing for the chips used, far exceeding anything else. Without my light meter (which has gone missing) I dare say they are as effective or more effective than the OEM halogen T20's. Through clever positioning of the chipset, a superior array is achieved. Integral design includes a heat sink, these are an awesome little unit. Designed well for a reverse light, they do the job they set out to do very very well. Also available as amber indicator, and error resolving and regulator module. Pics up when i can. COST: AU85 approx/pair RESULTS: Reverse(PIAA Super TERA Evolution) ON, Racing Dash license plate ON, brakes ON. Reverse (PIAA Super TERA Evolution) ON, brakes ON. Reverse (PIAA Super TERA Evolution) ON, brakes ON , further away..
  16. Plenty available in Japan, check YahooJapan or Rakuten. They wont be cheap tho. Also, most seat covers these days are or can be made with air bags in mind. Aimgain has some: Probably about 1k landed. AIMGAIN hybrid seat cover Or VERONA Im sure there are plenty more out there too.. Classio, these look like cloth: http://www.gtcovers.com/seat-covers/c7431-2009-Prius-Prius-seat-covers.html And that was a 5 min search..
  17. Welcome! Im sure there are some people her that can help.
  18. Vinh, are the rears larger diameter? the pic looks like 1 inch larger on the rear... could just be optical illusion tho..
  19. I wont say it(you know what im talking about ), but yep, 5mm spacers will look just about perfect, maybe even 8 or 10mm on the rear. Ride height is spot on John.
  20. Re reverse 15w HID: Just waiting back on some info re T20 fitment, if they have them (which i think they do) they will work in the ZRE also. FYI, I have made my own 7,000k Flux T20's, Quite bright but not as bright as the 15w'ers will be. these T20's i made are also Dual colour, acting as an extra brake light when the brakes are applied also: Just gotta work on them a little more then i should be able to make sets up for those that are keen. Quite fiddly to make.
  21. From AIMGAIN Japan: 30 Series type2 And what looks like a complete rear drop axle: 20 Series All goodies can be found here: AIMGAIN.
  22. Ben, I have run these in my beemer for years now, very happy with them too.
