Bobby's Old IS200 - steviewevie - 08-03-2018
Crysec Wow, I missed bobby's posts until now. Nice one bobby! I've never managed to get her that shiney, but she's well looked after apart from an ongoing saga. Lexus Aberdeen *still* have her despite getting the HKS FCD (STD edition), I think they might not know how to wire it up? Scared to phone them to be honest.
Stav?, if you are there, could you tell me how to wire in the HKS? I'd really appreciate it, I'm at the end of my rope with them altogether. Two and a half months now, this has to be a record and all the photos are making me depressed. I'm thinking the worst has happened and they've wired it up wrong and fried the ECU or something *horrible*.
I would start a new thread up on this if I were you (or bump one you have already ?), that will give a better chance of people noticing and being able to respond :wink:

If I remember correctly Bobby had the Unichip fitted also , so you might have to go to Wallace Performance with it !!

Drop me a pm with your email address again mate and ill send the wiring along
Bobby's Old IS200 - Crysec - 08-03-2018
Thanks for the welcome Jambo, and the others I've not replied to =/ I hope the Unichip is not the problem Moley, either way I'm pissed that they (Lexus) have not been able to fault find like you guys do. Sparky, I've PMed my email addy, I'll talk to them when you reply with wiring. Thanks for giving a ****! I totally miss my car, it's like Lexus is sleeping with my woman, but they are treating her like a ***** =(
P.S. Is it wrong to give a car a name? I did, I call her Eliza, at least that's what I told the wife when she asked me who's name I was calling out the other night =)

Ahaha at the last bit, at least you can be cheery when your beloved motor is crippled by a bunch of confused people.... hope it gets sorted soon!

I let my son name my car, and with typical 6 year old style, he came up with ....
Alexis (a lexus)
To be fair I couldn't fault his logic :lol:

Is your car moveable at all?
if it is get it away from the garage and honestly even just over the phone we can help you get it back on the road

^^^^^ What Stav said !
Lexus don't generally know a lot/anything about the supercharger setups, and it sounds like they're not really that bothered about it at your garage too.
Bobby's Old IS200 - Crysec - 09-03-2018
It's movable, but downright dangerous.. . cuts out even if I'm careful and last time it happened was at a sharp corner, I'm brave but I got kids! I honestly think if I can get enough info I can get them to fix it and argue the labour costs (I'm not paying Lexus to *learn* to fix her).

ohh and if anyone is interested DaveEdin mentioned that his son named his car "Alexis".. on my travels on the internets I found a Lexus font, also called Alexis! It's pretty good;
