Edit: What I said, in the other post which you didn't read is that either its an L-tune or sport it has L-tuned wheels and that proves its probably the same stuff with different badging names for different markets.
If you want to debate with me further - just explain why The Sport comes with L-tuned Wheels then?!?

L-Tuned's Series 1 Package is comprised of a body kit, one of three wheel/tire combinations and special L-Tuned badging. The body kit, made of durable polyurethane, includes side skirts and a unique body-color grille surrounded with a laser-cut mesh insert.
The Series 2 Package includes the Series 1 components plus performance shocks and springs, a re-calibrated steering ECU and stainless steel mufflers with polished tips for a sportier look.
With each package, GS 300/400 owners will have the choice of three different wheel and Z-rated tire combinations:
* 17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/45Z)
* 17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin XGTZ4 All-Weather Tires (235/45Z)
* 18" x 8" (front), 18" x 9.5" (rear) OZ Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/40Z, front and 265/35Z, rear)

Hey Thomas, I already know this information. You are taking this out of context. You refuse to answer the Question - Why does the "Sport" model in Europe have L-tuned wheels if it is in fact a L-tuned car re-badge for the Euro market? -- Shouldn't a Sport have "Sport" wheels instead of L-tuned wheels??
What I was trying to say to OP that you refuse to acknowledge is whether that its an L-tuned or Sports model - its basically the same car repackage for different markets with slightly different parts though the wheels you can not mistaken that is in fact an L-tuned wheel before this Sports model was conceived.. Period..
Peace out

I could've sworn we were on the topic of the TTE lip. You told me to do my research about the TTE lip coming on L-Tuned models, and I did. Now you're getting angry with me about the wheels? 
Anyways,
The best possible explanation for the wheels is because they are made by OZ, and not L-Tuned, so they could be put on the Sport model. I'm sure people over there would think the same thing you're thinking if they saw an L-Tuned model with the OZ Salina wheels, when they're accustomed to the Sport model.
Does this make sense?

Im glad i had my questions answered earlier in this thread lol.
Just wish i could out my VSC issue that suddenly occurred yesterday.
Is there any way to check if i have an upgraded steering ECU like the L tuned models did?
Thanks

On the wheels i know that Oz made the L-tuned wheels but they came on the Ltuned wheels Before the Sport because Ltuned cars were GS300/400 and the Sport on GS430 in Europe, as far as I know there is No Sport GS430 in the US version.. Confusing isn't it..

In Australia we only got the GS300. Damn! And to confuse everything even further, our L-Tuned GS300's look like this (no TTE lip).
I have also attached some pics of the Steering ECU with the sharper response rate.
Hope all this helps ???????????

No harm done, i think we were both talking about two different things..
On the wheels i know that Oz made the L-tuned wheels but they came on the Ltuned wheels Before the Sport because Ltuned cars were GS300/400 and the Sport on GS430 in Europe, as far as I know there is No Sport GS430 in the US version.. Confusing isn't it..

Hmm...so there weren't any Sport GS300's?

Been away for a few days so not had a chance to catch up.
Definately no DVD player in my car and i dont have the DVD icon on it either. I havnt tried just putting a normal DVD in the sat nav ecu box but im guessing it probably wont work??
Thanks for the info about the steering ECU i will check this out. Where is it located just to save me hunting around for hours ?
We have GS300 sport models over here i think (i seem to remeber them being advertised when i was looking for mine) but i dont know what the spec of them is.
My Car has just over 100000 miles on her at the moment.
I am planning on changing the wheels so i will keep you in mind vscalais but i think shipping may be a bit prohibitive
.
Oh and BTW i fixed my VSC light issue by following the procedure mentioned in another thread regarding shorting out 2 pins in the OBD2 connector.
Cheers Nath

Do you know where the steering ECU is located? Also i notice in the pics you posted that the L Tuned box has a different part number than the picture of the actual ECU. Is the pic of the actual ECU a standard one?
Thanks
