trd altezza

the ecu on the tezz has a safety feature wich will stop the car over reving as it detects a fault wich is common on a lot of problems iv had this and got a link up ,told me everything what was going on and easy enough to fix , scott

so what do i do then?

i got the turbo rebuilt on the altezza because the oil seals where gone and it was pushing oil on to the air filter.when we started the car it was idling rough and it sorted it self out but when you rev the car it has gone in to limp mode it would only rev to 4,000rpm.

we took the throttle bodie off and found there was loads of oil sitting in the intake manifold that was cleaned out and the throttle bodie put back on.

it was started up and it just hit the limiter which was real scary what do i do?how did the oil get in the intake manifold?and do i just buy a new throttle bodie?

does the altezza ecu go in to limp mode when the engine management light comes on?im running a HKS f-con btw.

Thanks! hid-lights

thats nice considering they had no probloms sending the other lights to my address

i sent a total of 6 e-mails and only got 2 back and this is one of the 2

******ers

there a bunch of ***** i sent the hids back and they sent the new ones to a differant address!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there any problem with fitting them to both dipped and full beam?

besides the cost that is....

Nope, no problem at all. 1 of the lads did it on his Civic, 2 seperate X5 kits...

@trd altezza: if they don't take them back u can re-use the ballast boxes & just buy the bulb/harness kit for the 9006 ;)

i sent the 9005 hids back to get replaced and iv sent like four e-mails but no reply there web site isnt working ether its like the just vanished. :tsktsk:

Not my cuppa....

i think there mint :winky:

would ye say there 17's??

Look like a set of 16's you would find on a civic!

Have u gotten ur car yet?? Why not just powder coat the standard ones a different colour for now! 350 for the 4

ye i have it but im very fussy about the wheels

Not my cuppa....

i think there mint :winky:

would ye say there 17's??

I've just bought a pair from there, and ive managed to get them painted for less than you paid for ur set mate.....was the guy who painted them blind, or just couldnt be bothered to prep them?? :o

Well i could have returned them to him but probably would have cost me another 30 quid in p+p and another 2 months of waiting so i said fook it i stick them on. Dont want to be naming who i got them off. Probably get them resprayed when i get my new bumper :P

what bumper ye getting??

with these wheels :winky: there SSR's btw.

what ye's think????

a €1200 service

I quote markrs200

do u know the price of the timing belt alone is 400 euro .cause u have to buy 2 idlers and a tentioner and thats not including fitting.Any one who brings a car from japan its the first thing that should be done is the timing belt and make sure ye get the belt ,the two idlers and the tentioner its pointless doin it otherwise

Go to a toyota dealer and get prices for genuine parts....... Then come back and see if you are still laughing.

Or alternatively go back to the Japanese used car place where you bought your car and watch him laugh. He's laughing because you believed him when he told you that your car was fully serviced and the milage was genuine.

whats a full service to you??

plugs

filter

oil filter

water pump

oil

belts

brake fluid

gear box oil

anything else???

right im going to get a lad to give the car a good going over as my nct is due shortly.

what might he need that he wouldnt usually be able to get his hands on over here that i should order off the net

cheers

The mechanic where I got it done was able to source everything. He did have a small Hic-Up when he was sent the wrong timing belt. But he got another and all was good. I got a major service using genuine toyota parts including water pump, idler, all belts and fluids, it did however cost me €1200, €350 of which was labour. But if you know this lad it may work out cheaper

a €1200 service

think these will be any use??will the ride still be the same?

do your hids come on for full beam are have you got them as ur dipped lights.

My HIDs come on, on the dipped beam.Just incase you dont know, there is 4 bulbs in the headlight:

1. sidelight

2. dipped beam

3. Full beam

4. Indicator

Pic one shows normal dipped beam lights on and sidelight(my side light is a blue LED)

This pic shows Full beams on aswell as dipped beam and sidelight

Hope this make sense to ya, sorry for bad quality pics, i took them with my phone

ah ***** they better take them back i havnt even opened the box!!

cos thats were your ment to put them in your fulls :duh:

The HID's go in your Dipped, otherwise whats the point in fitting them? You cant drive with your full beams on all the time, You will be blinding oncoming traffic left, right and centre!

oh crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought you where talking about parking lights.i call my main beams full and my full beams fog lights!!!!!!!

but on the site it says 9006 FOG LIGHTSand your telling me to get 9006 fog lights????????

the lights in my bumper are fog lights and it says clearly on the site 9006 is fog lights!!!!!!!!

Thinking of putting a set of Recaros out of an Evo 7 into mine, it's a toss up between them or half leather OEM ones...

Recaro 1s are SO comfortable & I've been offered a set at a nice price, just need rails :D

i know a fella with evo 8 seats in his tezza look class but there not that comfy

will they fit my altezza ok??

Fargo has a set of custom ones for sale LINKY

sorry man not my style at all

does any have pics of leather seats in a altezza?my altezza is silver and i dont know what colour seats to go for black are tan?

What cuurently in it? If your getting them re covered in leather you could get any colour you want. If i had the money i would get black and bronze, same colour scheme as the dash

im thinking about black leather.is there any way to make the seats softer?? ;)

alright gang just joined the site i steven from dublin i know diz... I lookin forward to recieving tips and advise from you guys i already need help sourcing black headlights and taillights for my mo mo any help appreciated....

Welcome Steve not sure where u can get the black headlights from, want some myself. think most people that have them sprayed them themselves. You can get the dark chrome rear lights from any Lexus dealer. Are they the ones your talking about? I have them on mine

iv searched high and low and cant find them head lights anywhere!!!!!!!
