Thanks mate. I am trying to keep the old lady as fresh as possible and in good working order. Not only upgrade parts need to be added but OEM parts need to be checked and changed if necessary.

Today I visited my mechanic and changed the rear right knuckle. I took some pictures of the worn bush to have an idea how catastrophic it can be to your car if you leave it like that.

by the way i found out that many tuners such as megan racing sell uprated bushes for the rear knuckles for small amount of money. You just have to have the correct tool to remove the bush and fit the new bushes. If i did a bit more search i could save a lot of money and not go for the oem part from Lexus.

not updated for a while my thread. I played today a bit with the go-pro camera and took some video clips of the exhaust.

Dimis. A little question. When you mapped the car did you do anything with the acis valve in the intake manifold? For example let it open permanently or leave it functional like oem. Just wondering if it is better to leave it permanently open.
