Lexus SC430 FIRST UK COMPUTER INSTALL

by Rabster, 20-03-2019, 09:51 AM

OK So here we have my next accomplishment After the Success of my fully functioning computer install Lexusboy decided he wanted the same in his car albeit not quite the same as he didn’t need all of the same toys but at least 90% of them

So we Start with the Components required

Acer Aspire Revo R3610
Carnetix P1900
Navtool SC430 Adaptor
Some fuses
Lots of Cable
Valet Switch
Tape to Ipod Adaptor
VGA – Composite adaptor
Reverse Camera

Now the idea with this as with all my projects is to keep the car looking as standard from priying eyes when turned off.

So we start with the pc
As standard this pc as a contact closure which is used to turn the computer on and off knowing about this from my install made adapting this one really easy to do

Here is the computer

We now open this up yes this does void the warranty but lets be honest who doesn’t void them lol

Once open we need to adapt the switch this is located bottom right of the image above

Here is the item once removed

So now we have this out we take a multimeter and test for continutity what we are looking for is a closure upon pressing the switch this allows the switch to power the pc once located we then join 2 wires to it

Now with these wires joined we need to get them to the outside world as it happens on the back of the unit is a kensignton lock point so this is an ideal hole so we routed the cables through and out and here we have them




Now thats the computer modified ready to run

"Deer Jumping" - **** sport in an MR2

by BOOSST, 20-03-2019, 08:31 AM

A27 near Chichester last night... slightly above the speed limit:whistling: and I attempted the long jump over the body of a Deer !

With a somewhat strong smell in the car,we got launched.. we landed, we bounced, we lived !

Minor cosmetic damage to the bumper and paint,Side light gone, Inner wheel arch.. destroyed, Side skirt popped out a tad.. so all in all, a very very lucky escape.

We think from the amount of blood, guts and stench we hit the softest part, the belly, hence why the damage was minimal.. So, sadly it needs the bumper now taken off and reinstated where its pushed in and the crack repaired, and painted (pearl white too)

But.. could have been much worse

Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo!

by Jimbob-T-Lex, 19-03-2019, 04:31 PM

Thought its bout time i started one so ppl can see how i am getting on and got plenty of pics lol firstly i installed K&N panel air filter, put on scorpion back box and a front strut i did this within bout 2 weeks of having the car!!


I then installed aftermarket single Din stereo but this is changinging as ive got a dbl Din dvd satnav stereo coming all touch screen which is arriving tuesday! woop woop pic will be up soon!

I then ordered a spoiler off Ebay and sprayed and fixed myself which was very nerve racking not the best spray job but will be removed as i have friend with a spay gun and garage.




Well after the car started to look the part i thought best to take my viper alarm out of my old 306 and install which was not the easiest job by far and had alot of help off of Rabster thx again for all the help u have given mate!!!!!

Alot of wires and very hard to find where they all go but success after alot of resaerch and trial and error.
I then ordered a carbon fibre grill off of Ebay gives the car a bit more of a look


Iver also gone with a blue theme and done quite alot of colour coding started with the dash lights changing to LED's

Then i installed cheap start button pretty pointless but oh well lol

The clock is ticking!

by Mazz, 18-03-2019, 06:24 PM

more like a full blown kick in the balls!



Yesterday (28/4/11) i get a call from Rob. telling me not to panic but to go out the front an look right



there it was, my car stuck at a strange angle in the middle of bath road. so i ran down to it, in heels... I DONT DO RUNNING! lol

well i cant remember much but these are the pics from what went wrong with my car.....

















after it got ripped out from the transfer box it got wedged on the road and in the tunnel of my car lucky it was a low speed that was done when this happened. as the day before the car was doing ~80 on the motorways to and from the air port!





We will be getting this back on the road and it will be at japfest!

but on the up, at least we dont have to cut out and replace part of the floor on the car!



oh and then today.... the new VR4.... we have on order new lower arms and they are due to be delivered tomorrow.

i had aaron in the car with me when this happened, thank F**K it happened when i was reversing off the driveway!

the car is now stuck blocking not only my mums garage, but next doors as well! untill we get the parts fitted, but its proving to be more then a PITA getting off what needs to be got off!












These will be at japfest this year come hell or high water!

Cleaning Door Shuts

by Rabster, 17-03-2019, 05:27 PM

OK so im thinking of giving the car a going over after all the work its had on the inside in the past week thought i might treat it to a bath.

i looked at the door shuts and they are :Sulk:

so what do you all use and how do you do it

I know Christian uses APC can i get something similar from Helfrauds ?

if so how do i use it i know i cant jet wash the door shuts lol :Fish:

im guessing spray mixture on agitate with a brush and then rinse of with a spray action nozzle or similar...

as for the door rubbers just treat that with autoglym stuff ?
