hi to all forumers! Just got my RS200 Z edition 6MT(Neo package) last month. its already done 94000km on the clock when I got it.Since my knowledge on cars and Altezza is very limited(almost 0), I really need advice from all the sifus here.
1)"Semput"
My car feels very underpowered and a little bit "semput" compared to my housemate 5AT RS200 Z edition. I tried cleaning the MAF sensor and it really gave me a positive result, but still not as good as my housemate 5AT. Im using Fujitsubo muffler, standard air intake and 18inch wheels while my housemate using Apexi air filter and standard exhaust n wheels. Just sent the car to Toyota dealer for scheduled check and they said nothing was wrong. Do U think that the exhaust and the bigger wheels are the reasons for this problem? any suggestion on what should I do next?
2)TRC button.
When do U guys use this button and how the car behave after U turn it off? any experience?
3)Tower Bar
the previous owner already installed Cusco lower arm member brace bar at the front and rear of the car. will it make a huge different in handling if I install tower bar?
hope to join U guys on Malaysia road soon!
Thanx in advance for ur attention!

welcome dawo!! hope you'll enjoy your stay here 
okay firstly, your car is manual, lucky dude. manual is very very playable. so first, go change your air filter to a K&N one, put on an Open Pod air intake. heheheh.
nah, your muffler should be okay. check for leaks though.
TRC button: you use it only in D mode. it just stretches the gears so it doesnt down/up shift fast. not that useful in tiptronic mode, now would it?
Tower bar:
yes it does. it does have a firmer feel.
well, hope this helps a little. lastly, welcome again man!! good to see another manual

thanx for the prompt reply brother bushidofang!
"Open pod air intake"??? hehhe another new automotive terms for me..gonna check about it! Im seriously thinking to change my air intake ..just survey a few air filter brands today. will consider K&N too! r U using K&N ? would U share with us on how does it performs n sounds? saw one Altezza with Blitz Sonic Power , the noise from the air intake was mind blowing... how about the fuel consumption after U changed the air filter?
owhh I thought the TRC button off would make the car spin it wheels just like those in supercars( watching too much Top Gear n 5th gear lately... hehehe).
thanx again for the reply!

no problem.
what i meant was, the air intake and the air filter was different. if you're still using the standard induction box, that use an air filter. but if yours is the aftermarket type of air induction, that's called open pod. heheh. so what's yours? im guessing it's open pod, not the standard one. it's great, you can really feel the diff, sounds amazing and the fuel consumption is still the same. it's all in your foot
yeah i would recommend either Apexi or K&N. don't really like Blitz's. bad reviews heh. but there's one model from Blitz that is good, but i forgot which.
oh, sorry for teh wrong info. read wrongly about the TRC, i thought it was the PWR switch been obssesed with power lately. TRC should be your traction control. not many of us has it, so you're another lucky dude. yeah, i think you'll be able to spin the tires a bit when it's off. but most of our cars without the switch has no TRC. but i dont think you'll be able to spin like those supercars just yet. go bolt on a turbo, then you can. you'll still need a LSD though. to be able to spin crazily and most importantly, driftt.
hope this helps

Vijay, or any other altezza owner..
hv u guys try out that link ?? and is it accurate ??
cos i try to put in the code for an altezza that i've viewed recently..
and it tell me a different year make !!!! (diff than on the jpj papers and what seller's claimed)
Hi Mike,
This is the general problem........ In Japan normally they dont care about Year of Make.
Normally they are foucs on Year of Registration. So when the car get exported to Malaysia
the JPJ will take the year of Registration as the Year of Make.
The website is accurate but you also can check :
1) Front seat belt tag. check Near the pillar
2) Rear seat belt buckle. see behind.
I also have Altezza parts software which give Year of Manufacture by Year and mth.
Pls PM me the chassis code and I can check for you if you want.
SXE10-00XXXXX
I hope this helps.
