As we speak the female of the house is acquiring said app

Love the import Lexus I was looking at the IS220 as my next company car. Caved and got another 1er though.

[stephano]

I bought it for the mrs really as we needed a 4 door.
had a little search about a thought the Altezza was a good choice as the one we have is the RS200 so its got the 3s-ge beams blacktop (210hp)
and most important its rwd!

hope you guys enjoy Instagram as much as me !

When Steve was born for the first year he was called Turbo, not that he would remember, but his mum got fed up with that in the end

Haha, it's a good job you didn't specialise in toilets back in the day...

I did not know we did now!

We do heat pumps, solar heating and under floor heating. And sort out all the willy ups other installers make including hospital operating theaters

[stephano]

go on with a bit more ecu wiring today









thats all for today.

[stephano]

more wiring today

wired a plug and a length of screened cable onto the crank sensor



Then wired the pc output





now moved on to the coil on plug setup



started by trimming the cables to the same length and looping the 3rd cable and shrink wraping it as its redundant.





then test fitted the cops and measured,cut and soldered the cables

I had no clue what you do now, it just would have been a whole different nickname if you dealt with toilets not turbos back in the day

Nice progress Steve

[stephano]

thanks!
i knew what you were getting at.
i explained it to him but hes getting on a bit.

As we do plumbing work I did think Steve must have told you and that was why you said toilets

[Magic Beans]

A comical coincidence then

[stephano]

finished work early today so thought id crack on with the wiring.

but first i had a parcel arrive



my digital boost gauge



so the 3 min job getting the cluster out



done!

When i went for a 5 min break somthing strange happened







anyway thought id paint the shroud white



all back together



very happy how it looks!

so moved back onto the cop's and soon realised there was a little modding needed





all fits fine now thats cut off





just need to fit the heat proof sleeve and wire them in.

also had a look at the emergency cut off





it'll fit somewhere like that.
does anyone make one of those panels in grp?
or have one thats not cracked everywhere?

[Magic Beans]

Excellent as always. The cluster is a huge improvement

What made you opt for digital over analogue?

[stephano]

cheers!

i thought the digital display would be much easyer to read plus where its fitted.
i had the old gauge in the centre console and it was a little hard to just glance at to read when i was flat out.
thats the only reason.
oh and dads one looks phat!

[Magic Beans]

oh and dads one looks phat!

The real reason then

[stephano]

...no............. haha yeah!

[stephano]

more wiring



also got the cluster re-fitted

Good effort- 30mph with the door open! Think your altenator's out though judging by the three warning lights, and you need some fuel


Seriously though, tis looking good mate, I'm gonna have to look into this COP thing I think
