  1. You can get WWP to run on an Imate!? Woah, now that's cool :D Where'd you get it from, kimae?
  2. What colour? I'd quite like one with a spoiler! (or the spoiler itself)
  3. Oh, and I don't think it's possible to use a DVD player with the existing system easily - cheaper to replace it with an aftermarket one. I'd be careful though, I think front mounted DVD playing screens are shortly to become illegal - one of the changes being considered for the WOF regulations.
  4. Nah, just everyone sick of answering the same questions. :] Check a recent answer of mine in relation to Windoms here: http://nz.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=950 FYI, as soon as you disconnect the factory head unit, the whole system stops working. :-] Get in touch with Geosmart and see if they have any more info - I havent heard back from them unfortunately.
  5. Sure am... Do you know what colour they are? I presume Brembo-red? :]
  6. Hey man - do you know what kind of install cost there would be, if you can't do it yourself (which I can't!)? And who might be appropriate to do it, if not Toyota?
  7. The T-SPort thing is legit. As far as I know, there are Yaris, Corolla and Celica 'T-Sport' versions available - it's basically Toyota's new branding to indicate "sporty" versions of cars - I think only in the UK? I wouldn't say it's 'rare' as it's a Toyota genuine thing on new cars, but given I think it's UK only, I'd say it'd be pretty rare in NZ and Australia...
  8. VTEC has lift control as well, I presume it's roughly the same as VVTL-i. However, there's so many other variables involved that I doubt you can really say one is 'better' than the other. I'd definitely say that VTEC is more 'sophisticated' than plain VVTi, but that doesn't necessarily mean its effect on performance is better. AFAIK, VTEC is only intake though? (could be wrong!)
  9. Muzza - have you got a cold air box, or just a heat shield? Any particular brand, or custom?
  10. The navigation system is probably the same as in the Altezzas - and no, it's not possible to get it converted as such. GeoSmart in NZ are the only ones producing map data for GPS, and they have a product to be released shortly - however, it won't just be a CD compatible with existing systems. You'll likely have to purchase the nav system unit to replace the one in your Windom, which looks like it'll be a VDO Dayton unit at ths point. VDO say their unit should work with existing LCD displays, reducing the cost significantly. I haven't heard what this cost is likely to be yet - this is all very new. Search the IS200/300/Altezza forum for 'navigation', a thread I wrote in a while ago has a bit more. Incidentally, I have the owners manual for the original systems in the Altezzas etc, it's all in Japanese, and no English translation is available that I could find.
  11. Looks very Racing Hart eh... :-o *looks* The RH J8s, perhaps? http://www.racinghart.com/wheels_rhe.asp
  12. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-13185979.htm If any of the Aussie guys want me to buy this on behalf for them, just shout out...
  13. As the title sales, I'm selling these two head units. As far as I know, both have the ERR3 problem. They may be fixable - anyone whose had some experience is welcome to take them and have a go. I haven't tried - was always gonna replace the factory head unit with an aftermarket system, and have done so. The spare tape deck one was given to me by the previous owner, he'd just never got around to trying it. Unbeknownst to him - it suffers from the same ERR3 problem as the one he was gonna replace! The other alternative is that the MD and CD stack modules within the units are separate, so you could probably take a working CD stack module and put it in the MD unit here and upgrade from the tape deck to a minidisc player, you know, if you are so inclined. The fronts of these units are in mint condition. Tape unit: Toyota 86120-53010 MD unit: Toyota 86120-53020 Would $50 for both be reasonable? If you're interested, or know anyone who's interested, PM or txt on 021 1309460. I'm in Wellington, incidentally. :-)
