Toeknee_33 Turbocharged August 27, 2017 Share August 27, 2017 (edited) Just curious.. anybody knows why are the rear transmission tunnels so wide and tall for the IS and GS? I understand that they are RWD. But there are many other RWD cars out there, and their rear transmission tunnels aren't so wide and tall. hmm... From what I know, Toyota engineers insisted on a straight line from engine to gearbox to rear differential in order to minimise vibrations that may arise from a slightly kinked design. That resulted in higher transmission tunnel. The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection mah... Edited August 27, 2017 by Toeknee_33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exige 1st Gear August 27, 2017 Share August 27, 2017 From what I know, Toyota engineers insisted on a straight line from engine to gearbox to rear differential in order to minimise vibrations that may arise from a slightly kinked design. That resulted in higher transmission tunnel. The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection mah... That's a good one! Relentless Pursuit of Perfection. I love the IS and GS for their rear wheel drives. But the gigantic transmission tunnel is quite a turn-off for my folks who are sitting at the back.. I shall enjoy my IS till its COE expire in 3 years' time, then maybe retire to ES.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 My prev GS, rear sensors are never active during D mode. Or else those pesky motorcyclists weaving behind and squeezing from the rear will be damn irritating. but when they managed to squeeze to the front while in jam, that is when it gets real irritating. Have to press the button to deactivate it temporarily. No.... All should be active all the time 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic August 31, 2017 Share August 31, 2017 did the red wind this morning. did not notice any difference in door closing but those noise from lorry/bus/motorcycle is much much reduce.Are your doors soundproofed? My rear doors are not, so it's harder to close it. Need to use more force than usual. Yup the bus motor lorry noise is very much reduced. But wind noise, still have a bit right?

Earthboy 4th Gear August 31, 2017 Share August 31, 2017 mine is virgin stock, no after market sound proof done. i asked if it can be done at the all around rubber tube along the door itself but they said is difficult to dismantle and the rubber is too curvy. was driving along KPE sticking to 90km/h so not to sure if wind noise improved. will check out tomorrow.
