Farqui

Thanks Paul, it's good to get some feedback on others experiences. I was a little skeptical initially but since having it done I'm very pleased with the results. Unfortunately mine has been sat for most of the week and is now covered in dust [emoji19] Looking forward to seeing your pics.

Looks good, do you have a before pic? The part numbers might come in useful for someone

+1 for EliteRemaps< I used one of their maps before albeit on a 2.2 Honda diseasel and the results were impressive.

Go for a match to your console/door trim

My arm rest/center console between the seats appears to be causing an annoying squeak, which is starting to irritate me as the rest of the car is so quiet. The sliding arm rest can be in the rear or forward position, up or down with arm on or off the rest but the noise persists. I've eased it a little recently when the gear selector panel was off but think the noise may be coming from deep under the arm rest/cubby hole. I've had a quick scan online but can't see any related info, so if anyone has a link/experience to share them I'll all ears. So I can investigate and may add foam to the rear vent pipework/etc, I'd like a guide on removing the arm rest without breaking any fittings. Does such a thing exist for a gen3/2008 GS 450H or will a guide from a similar model apply? Thanks for looking.

Use Dropbox or some other icloud a like option? I don't have an iPhone, so that'll be the extend of my input...

Ah okay, not a straight forward/easy swap then

Ah, that feeling when car parts arrive eh So if they're looking pretty good, will you pop one on to try? Would like to see a pic of OEM vs these.

I'm sure the steering wheel will look and feel great. You constantly use it and the changes will be sat right in front of you. Not sure about the LED's, will they loose the reflector and fail and MOT? I need to re-read the product description in the morning. How much lower are your Meister's than OEM these days? How much height will these lips occupy? I do think they look good on a racey kinda way but i wouldn't want them to be impractical on a daily driver.

@dougie175, I know what you mean but 'stuff' isn't as precious as those nearest to us. Haha, I was worried about boot space too but we recently had a trip to Belgium and to my surprise it easily swallowed our luggage. I kinda miss my Honda too but would hate to loose the Lexus now. Good to hear that you've a few more mod's planned, will keep a look out.

How do buddy, long time no speak. Congrats on the ankle biter. All good here ta, hope you all are too. Yup, I've followed your path... eventually. Our big battle cruiser is pampering us nicely and she's a surprising turn of speed from the twin boiler rooms. Is your Lexus still going well for you? I bet she still looks great pal, with all those hours of custom work you put in. Probably seems like a while ago now?

@capese21, excellent thank you, will give that a try. Looks a bit fiddly tho...

@rayaans, well found. I meant to link in the 2nd video its been online since last week. I haven't seen the 3rd yet, one to watch later...

Never heard of that, checks website but I see only limited customisations within the free app. STANARD FREE Diagnose: drivetrain (engine, transmission); eco (emission test readiness) Customize: unlock all doors vs. driver’s door only

Reckon I ought to get myself one of these Techstream gizmo's as my indicators don't have any momentary flashes at the moment. The kit seems like it'd come in handy every now and again and it's not like it's expensive. When in for it's service, the dealer did a similar free update for us...forcing the doors to unlock on Park. So Alan, do you have a good rapport with the dealer?

Anthony, the Lexus parts should be more comfortable vs coil overs so I'd also keep it OEM if possible. Maybe check part numbers for the different generations and see if they match? The info may even have the spring length/diameter/#coils so you can compare, maybe... Good luck.

The stateside forum has lots of examples of lowered cars, maybe check them out? Search for 'lowered' here; https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-3rd-gen-2006-2011/638288-3gs-faq-frequently-asked-questions-and-diy-thread-new-members-start-here.html

It can come in handy to quickly scan/clear error codes. I've been tempted to get it running and provide me with a rev counter but I'm gradually 'adjusting' to the kW meter. Our old Aygo didn't have a rev counter either and the Torque app gave me something to look at whilst growling along For Android phones a cheap BT OBD gadget works fine but if you've an iPhone then you'll need a WiFi OBD gizmo.

This? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQZHl-a9BKA Hadn't seen it before but it's well worth a watch.

Rightyo, let us know how you get on. Tank to tank calc's are more accurate but I am finding that the GS on board 'puter is one of the more accurate I've found on a vehicle. Fuelly is a good app to track consumption, I've been using aCar for years which has a bunch more features.

10 years of GS ownership is impressive, over which time you've enjoyed a pampered ride ;) Good luck with the AMG, it sounds quite a beastie.

Hi Eriks, Isn't the current range calc'd from your current MPG? So if you've been heavy with the right foot, then the calc'd range will be less. Did you reset your consumption figures? If not, reset it just before coasting down hill and watch your range soar

What disks are Halfrauds using? Were all 3 sets the same?

that's impressive Marc, well done What products did you use?

Welcome to the forum David. Good to hear that the CRV treated you well, I'm sure the NX will too.
