Re: Lexus / Toyota tuning

Re: Lexus / Toyota tuning

Will need to wait till I pick it up in a week or so before I can use techstream to have a look. What software do you use for the tuning?

Lexus / Toyota tuning

Hi guys, just wondering if anybody has had experience remapping any recent Lexus ECUs?

I am about to pull the trigger on a GS250 F-Sport and am curious what can be tweaked.

Re: Wireless VPN Router

I agree with this approach as being the most flexible and stable. I use the Sophos UTM Home firewall - it is an enterprise solution that is licensed for 50 IP addresses free to try and get IT professionals to used to it...

Well worth the effort to set it up on a small PC.

Re: Stroll Around Melbourne - some pics

Nope. I moved up here for an IT contract and have worked here since early 1998. What area of IT? I started in the mainstream and am now in the "Operational Networks" space, supporting control system networks and infrastructure.
