B3any Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I was gently pootling along the local carriageway one brisk sunday last week, before i got to Donington and i got to 125 Leptons and the car just stopped dead like hitting a wall, it then backs off and you can re-apply the power but then stops dead again at 125 Leptons Strange as i was doing 140 Leptons 3 nights before,,,,,, has my limiter kicked back in or is it something else? Theres a pint in it for the best answer:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 No its not that...its your sub-conscience kicking in and lifting the throttle to slow you down to a more respectable speed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Gaz.... is your '99 GS300 the N/A Supra lump ('roughly') ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 VVTi NA I believe. Either way, it's slower than the Supra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I've always had a bit of an interest in the Vertex, but never seen on. It's a Lexus GS with the TT VVTi engine in it....... http://www.japaneseimports.co.uk/Car_stats/body_toy_aristo.html Not much slower than a Supra and VERY discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Cool car Luxury and speed! Prefer the looks of the Supra though, bit more pretty or in-yer-face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Originally posted by Steve Cargill But imagine a Vertex that had been played with.... Funnily, although somewhat scarily, HKS offer just as many, if not more tuning parts for the Vertex than the Mk4 Supra. Personally I would LOVE a tuned Vertex. 600bhp in a car with refinement as good as an SL500 for half the price. In fact, I will definately say that I will have said item before I croak. Back on track with SLD's, theres no way an HKS delimiter will 'play about' with ones top speed unless A; it's goosed or B; it's been installed by a fool. Get it checked by an electrician who doesn't have 'Scotchlock' in their vocabulary. Regards, Nathan TDIPLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kindell Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 No Scotchlock's on mine all solder'd in VERY carfully with flux to stop any dry joints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Originally posted by Mark Kindell No Scotchlock's on mine all solder'd in VERY carfully with flux to stop any dry joints Mark, slightly OT, but when I was younger I used to use Devils flux, dark brown 'cream' in a little round green tin. It was fantastic but I've not seen any for years. Do you know if you can still get it - or equivilant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 normally the flux is impregnated into the solder core. Well nowadays anyway. So, so long as you don't spend a lifetime heating the same bit of solder and burn all the flux away before you're made a good joint you'll be fine without seperate flux. IMO But we digress.....
