jcrome04 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Why is there a weight bolted to the air filter cover.... let me go get a pic....
jcrome04 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 Is it to keep the intake from jumblin' around or something??? <_<
Leadfoot Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Why is there a weight bolted to the air filter cover.... let me go get a pic.... hmmm I should really "weight" for the photo......
Leadfoot Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Is it to keep the intake from jumblin' around or something??? <_< Given the mass of the intake housing moulding I wouldn't be surprised if they found a few cracked on the early prototypes. That looks like a reinforcing plate for the mounting screws, taking the stress pinch points off the plastic (kind of defeats the purpose of a filter housing if its cracked!) my 0.02C
Leadfoot Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Dude, you have only had your car back one day and already you have it in pieces! Get out there and drive it!!
wwest Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Dude, you have only had your car back one day and already you have it in pieces! Get out there and drive it!! Maybe as a "damper" for intake resonance...?? Loose fitting...??
jcrome04 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 I have to take it apart! lol.. It's so heavy though.... and thick.... the plate that is! ;) hahahahahaha
Steve Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 it will go faster now you have taken the weight off LOL
jcrome04 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 yesssssssssssssssssss! Let's celebrate! :snoooorrrtttt:
Leadfoot Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 yesssssssssssssssssss! Let's celebrate!:snoooorrrtttt: Snorting seafoam is only going to shorten your life. Don't do it kids!
jcrome04 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 speaking of seafoam..... I did it to my car. AND took a video. I'm putting it on youtube so I can show you guys. I'll post it in my seafoam topic! :D And for any non-believers... WOW I cannot believe the difference this stuff made. Smoother and lower idle. The engine runs so much quieter now. I was so suprised...It's almost an unbelieveable difference!!!! No engine lights, no fouled plugs....no problems at all!
nc211 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I never really noticed it on mine, but wasn't looking for it either. Is it magnetic? one that size could be used to pull any metal particles picked up from the road and hold them in place to prevent any tears to the airfilter? Dang, wish I still had my 95' so I could check, that is very interesting!
jcrome04 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 Hmmmmmm magnetic eh??????? I'll have to pull it apart again and find out!!!!! lol
cardona6569 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Hi: Call the Lexus or a dealer and ask. They usually will not know much but it is worth a try, specially and old Tech. CPR
