Lexus LF-A : More photos

Front calipers - at the rear??
you would have to make a large change to the front for this to work the 4 pots will require nearly 2x the cylinder area of the current 2 pots so the master cylinder will be totally unsuitable. you would be trying to lock the rears before the fronts- the abs will kick in and you would probobly slow down slower. physically you could fit them easily

new bumper delivered.
i bought one of these too. not fitted it yet either. perhapse we could get a batch of indicators sent over from the us

fuel pressure reg
replaced the fpr and it seems to have made a difference. its not overfueling as bad as it did and the power is consistant. i still have a slight popping at idle and a bit of overfueling. i might have to have a look at the o2 sensors now. also going to do a plenum pull and a egr removal soon

WAXOYL under body wax
i would steer lwell clear of waxoil for cavity wax. bilt humber or ditrinol for cavity wax. DO NOT USE UNDERSEAL. stone chip is probobly the best stuff for uner wheel arches but iff you are dealing bare metal i would use a zink primer then a coat of top coat the some stone chip.

Urgent Help - O2\Lambda Sensors
can you not thread it in by hand?

Same old
might be ok. id have strong words with the guys who fitted it. i would fill it up, run it for a few miles the drain and refill to get rid of the bad oil. might even be worth doing this a few times. atf is alot cheaper than a new box.

how to tune a nissan sunny
im sure they are only fragile when you double the power and keep dumping the clutch at 6000rpm from a stand still. then they munch boxes.

fuel pressure reg
i dont have any boost leaks. i sorted them all a while ago. i had the car on consult last week and jeff said it was all ok. i noticed the o2 readings were 0.2v and 0.3v almost continuously. id be supprised if it were these causing the rich running as they do not effect the running of the car at higher rpm and load. nobody has specifically told me the car is running rich but from my experience it smells like a car running rich and sometime when its dark you can see a little mist in the headlights behind when you put your foot down. my idle isnt really lumpy you can just feel as kirbz says " a slight popping from the exhaust" admittidly im very fussy about this sort of thing and most would not even notice. what would you expect the o2 values to be on idle? thanks pete

Conzult tomo, what should i be looking for to cure my emissions?
surly with a vacum leak you are drawing less air through the afm so less fuel is injected. the tables turn once on boost as metered air is blown out the leak and it runs rich!
-
Same old
did the cooler a nd torque converter get cleaned out when the new box went in?
-
boost leak fixed but.....
could be worse. it could be the drivers side. i think you can get the turbo of on the n/s with the engine in
