    Are you addicted to driving?

    Yes, definitely addicted and probably certifiable. Sometimes I just keep driving with no clear destination or time frame in mind. I've done Lands End to John O Groats in a day just to amuse myself.

    Basic guide to installing an amp.

    Okay, I will try to add a few pictures and keep as best I can to the script as detailed above. The systems I've installed in the past have been mostly fairly 'high end' and so require some heavy duty '0' gauge power cable, apologies if it looks a little excessive for a basic guide.

    Your budget for mods this year

    Very good question, £3k more I guess to finish this year unless I find someone to supply a set of slightly more aggressive cams for a 3UZ-FE this side of the pond. Usually the budget gets blown early on but sometimes no one has what you want. I'd like a remap.

    Hello from V8S

    Hi, I'm Neil I stumbled across the forum whilst considering the merits of a cold air intake for my little Lexus. I must say, it looks a friendly place to be. At the moment I drive an SC430 and an RX300. One is fairly standard, the other is slowly becoming less so. I'm ancient enough to have had...
