  1. TTFS was the mob I used, RR Racing while more responsive, didn't have a solution for Aus ISF's yet that didn't involve sending my ECU to them in the USA
  2. So without knowing the exact tech specifics of the tool - there is an initial ID/Read process to dump a file, you then send this file to the tuner who creates the tune based on this file. I believe this file contains ECU specifics - VIN, etc that may tie it to your car specifically. They then send you back a larger file to upload to the tool and then onto the ECU. With all the issues in getting it to work on my car, I had to take multiple reads from my car to provide to the tuners, so it is a critical part of the tune process.
  3. Not sure when I'll get back to the Dyno, I would easily recommend the tune if you have the money. As I mentioned the driveability is improved and it definately adds to the fun factor. Plenty of discussion the US Club Lexus forums and dyno results - I can only add that it now works on Aus delivered cars too :)
  4. OK finally some good news! Last update to the handheld tool and it actually wrote to the ECU successfully :) Took it for a quick spin this morning: Feels much more responsive across the rev range for improved drivability in auto mode and as for manual: where before it felt aggressive now it feels a bit scary :) and I didn't realise till I got home, I didn't have it in Sports mode for either auto/manual driving! Will have to do some more driving and arrange for a post-tune dyno run, also have purchased the Toyota Techstream cable to measure KCLV, etc so this time I can make sure the car is ready for a dyno run.
  5. Still trying a few things with them. If this fails I'm looking to send them a spare ecu from a written off ADM ISF for them to spend some R&D time on. Not giving up yet!
  6. Yeh currently working through some compability issues with them specifically regarding the different ECU's that the Aus cars have vs the US ECU's they have already tuned. Not too sure if there will be a positive outcome but should know soonish.
  7. So I've bought the OBD remote tune from TTFS, have received the handheld tool and read the data they require before they can proceed with the tune. There have been a few delays mostly regarding software glitches with the tool, but these have supposedly been sorted and now it is just a matter of TTFS finalising the tune for me and sending me the file to write back to my ECU. I have a JoeZ intake, JoeZ exhaust and Novel headers and carried out a pre-tune dyno as a baseline. Once the tune is on and run in, I'll be doing a second dyno to see the difference.
  8. Still working on getting the ECU solution out to the masses?
  9. Sorry to hear Danny, hope you are moving onto something just as exciting :) Does this mean no more movement on the ECU flashing or will that still be offered sometime in the future? Any pics of the Think design center console? Also with the Tom's CF kit - is it just the front lip or is that the rear as well? If rear willing to split?
  10. Dealt with Lexus of Chatswood (parts division) and it was likely the cheapest option once you factor in shipping from the US. They organised to have it delivered to Lexus Newcastle for me and it was picked up from there and was a very easy process to deal with.
  11. Got my Wald gear fitted recently, after doing some research and getting some opinions I decided to get a local quality body shop (who do a lot of custom fabrication work) to mold the spoiler to my bootlid and raise my quarters to match and allow the bootlid lines to flow. I'm really happy with how it turned out, and while it did cost me an arm and a leg in the end, it makes the spoiler looks completely OEM and natural. Wald carbon diffuser also fitted for extra aggressiveness and some carbon front splitters for something different at the front (instead of going the full lip). I do like the Wald front lip but it was $2000 on it's own and I prefer to keep my ride height at the front.
  12. Hi Fatjoez, Just wanted to find out how your molded spoiler is going after having it on the car for some time now? I recently received an Authentic Wald spoiler and have been debating getting this done as I have been advised there may be some issues with the fibreglass/paint cracking where it meets the metal of the boot due to the metal expanding/contracting in different temperatures. Do you know what sort of materials they used for yours? Just fibreglass or other components too? Thanks
  13. Anyone have anything to add to this thread? Looking to replace my rotors soonish too, may have to go FIGS.
  14. Got any pics of the F-sport key glove? Also let me know if the boot mat sale falls through, I might be interested as well :)
  15. How much room do you have to move with the width of the rim? I'm looking at similar offsets but with 9 inch front and 10 inch rear (19 x 9.0 +35 front, 19 x 10.0 +35 rear). Would the extra half an inch be an issue do you think?
  16. How much did the Opticoat cost if you don't mind my asking?
  17. How much did the fog lights set you back and where did you buy them from?
  18. What rims (brand/size/offset) are you looking at occxlr8ed?
  19. What did you end up getting? What size/offsets?
  20. No worries I do actually have a stock exhaust, but hanging onto it for whenever I end up selling the car to possibly return it to stock. Cheers
  21. Should be the standard "blade style" MY11 ISF rims (two tone polished silver chrome and dark grey colour in a directional pattern)
  22. Hi Jay, I've got the standard MY11 ISF rims on mine at the moment, possibly looking at changing my rims soonish. What sort of price would you be willing to pay for them? (I'm also in NSW in Newcastle if that is closer than Vic regarding pickup) Currently have Michelin Super sports with about 95% tread. Would obviously be a slight wait as I order/purchase replacement wheels. Let me know Cheers
  23. Hi mate, I've asked Jesse the question if it would be cheaper for 2 of each or if shipping would be cheaper (except I'm in NSW). Will let you know.
