Yep. There is a restrictive feed into the airbox which goes under the fuse tray to the side of the Battery. Take this out. There is a post on here with pics of what you are looking for.

If it's a pre-facelift model I'd also look at changing the suspension, unless you enjoy being able looking down on mums doing the school run in their Range Rovers

it a 2003 t-sport.do like to lower my car alright.had the e12 dropped 40mm,may not go as severe on this.will i need to get new shocks as well as springs?saw that topic earlier,must do that although it is a fools guide i still aint no mechanical genius!

[T128]

if you are going for 40mm and the spring is not adjustable becareful where you drive on you will rub the oil sump on crap road's and speed hump's for sure.

enjoy your new car

If you go for the TTE springs they are designed to be used with the original shocks and give you a drop of 35mm, so if you are a cheapskate like me (well i'm skint atm anyway) that might be the best option.

I fitted the TTE springs to my old T-Sport and they were great.

The car sat and handled better and had no clearance problems

Yes - sorry my mistake, they are a 30mm drop not 35mm as I posted before.

Dahat - You should be able to get the TTE springs from you local Toyota Dealer.

I assume your mate must have lowered it more than 30mm then, as that seems the most logical explaination?
