Yeah daytime entertainment isn't very good in Atlanta. I'm looking forward to returning to Florida.

Hey guys, sincere apologies for not updating you on what happened!
Unfortunately I didnt get to the dyno to start this as the wife was not well. Had to look after her all night!

Once all is clear, we will re-book the dyno and I will document everything as it happens.. LIVE!
I also got a chance to put the stock wheels back on due to bad rear tires on the 19's!


Rest assured, this will happen!

Fingers crossed the Lexus ECU is not annoyingly smart and pulls timing once A/F is changed!
So all is set for dyno, and in the meantime.. my tuner is going over the wiring diagrams and getting to understand the Lexus ECU better!

No response yet!

No crack marks on the inner walls, which means it must be fender cuts! So I am going to send email to Tire Rack confirming this!

My line of work involves being fair and protecting clients rights. I intend to keep that value with my tire supplier! I will not expect any liability from TireRack or Yokohama!

Instead, I am going to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to get some Toyo tires. I have heard good things about them!

I'm waiting for my tuner to get back to me so I can book the dyno again!

Yes family first. I wish your wife a swift recovery. It's not nice to be unwell on New Year's Day.

All is set for Friday, need to take a sneak peak at my ECU. Fingers crossed wiring diagram is identical to GS430. Just need to locate the ECU and propose a nice route to panel.

Otherwise, all is set!

Sweet! As I posted in your other thread today, the location of the ECU is in the engine bay driver's side (left) . Here's the attachment again in case you didn't see it.
