Thanks
ive read that thread and most or all of the others
As usual though there is a lot of holes left and I'm still unsure of some things
In that thread he says he removed some height sensor computer, and others are like what computer, and he doesn't reply back
Ive been in touch with suncore already to ask about their conversion kit and how to disable the computer, so hopefully they can fix me up
Thanks man , I'm going to run my vin at the dealer sometime to try to find out all I can
Please keep us updated about the Suncore conversion. This issue was recently discussed in another thread.

The Suncore website is out of date. While I don't have to worry about this issue for several years, it is nice to know my options.

I just got off the phone with them, and they don't seem to be too keen on much, and after keeping me on hold for a few minutes they said they had no instructions on how to disable the computer
I know a ton of guys have managed to do these swaps, whether to coilovers or to an aftermarket air system, so looks like I have no choice but to make a thread and hope they see it

Its pretty safe as long as u don't use too much pressure and don't directly soak the electronics
Also I usually let the engine completely dry before using it again, id say at least an hour, and I usually wash an already warm engine
hahah, yea we went a few rounds I think
It was you and one other guy , I forget who, you guys used to always stick together and team up on the 430 guys.....good times lol

I actually wrote something somewhat sticking up for 460's on a thread that I was subscribed to last night as there was another dismissive comment on that thread.
I pointed out that while the Control Arms are undoubtedly a bummer, so is the timing belt service. Moreover, there are now a number of 460's that have hit 200,000 miles and it is not they did not spend a fortune developing this car. Remember, the 460 was the first Lexus ever introduced in the home country replete with Lexus dealers.
Last Summer when I was about to purchase the 430 from my older brother, I gave serious consideration to getting a 460 instead as I greatly preferred the appearance of the 460 and, well, 380 horsepower is 380 horsepower...
What stopped me was, at the time I had $15,000 cash (don't believe in financing cars) and while my brother's absolutely perfect 430 was $14900, in Tennessee you do not have to pay sales tax when a car is sold to an immediate family member. This is huge as in Tennessee, sales tax on cars is 7 bloody percent! (byproduct of not having a state income tax)
While there were a handful of 460's for around $15,000, all of them had spotty service histories and or accidents. That said, every time I saw a 460 on the road while I had my 430, I was envious. Thankfully, this time I had more cash to spend as after paying sales tax, etc, I think I am at $17,800 all in.
I have not noticed any wind noise on my 2007. (literally knocked on wood while I started to write this sentence) That said, I listen to a good deal of music though I also listen to a good deal of both sports talk radio, BBC Radio, and Howard Stern so I think I would notice if particularly bad.
