  1. looks good
  2. when having my mechanic change my timing belt on my 95 ES300, should it be cheaper to have my rear valve cover gasket changed at same time? is there stuff that has to come off for belt anyway(intake,etc) that is part of valve cover job? thanks alot chuck
  3. what makes you say this is possible. I've never seen or heard of that being done.
  4. the tire fits rim fine, but we don't know if he'll rub without knowing offsets.
  5. that sucks, good luck. btw-how many miles?
  6. same here. swith the ac to recirc and you wont smell it.
  7. could be bad alignment, bent rim or out of round tire
  8. it's worth $13-14k. if it's your dads and it all dealer maintened, buy it. maybe you can get a dad price :whistles:
  9. so the "toyota" blades have a different part number? obviously every Lexus part comes in a Toyota package.
  10. they're just touchy because they're brake by wire. that's just how they are, you need to get used to them. I thought they were very strong. I test drove an 06 430 and I got used to the brakes after a few miles.
  11. those same wheels are for sale in that link above pic........
  12. have you seen this? http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=179616
  13. no, they fit fine. they are 18x8, +45mm offset. they stick out 5mm more than stock 2nd gen GS 17s. they are the same outside diameter as stock 225/55/16s with 245/40/18s. and since they are oem they are hubcentric.
  14. yup, mine are oem GS430 18s. I bought them from Sewell Lexus, link above.
  15. here you go :) http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160317 http://www.clublexus.com/forums/attachment...tid=67383&stc=1
  16. you remove the foglight and reach in with a 10mm socket to remove the whole assembly, or you can remove just the bulb sockect by twisting it and pulling out once you have the fogs out. it's very simple, and the fogs are only 2 philips screws
  17. Stay on the dealer to fix it and if they don't, call corporate.
  18. it allows the ecu to relearn the new air flow characteristics. also, when you have been driving "normal" for a while, the computer gets lazy and becomes less responsive. the best way to reset ecu is remove the ecu-b fuse under hood on passenger side. you have to leave it out for at least 30 minutes(sometimes longer). you'll know if it reset or not if your radio settings and seat memory are erased.
  19. what does that have to do with the 06?
  20. what'd you over here them at the dealer? I always try to browse the tickets on my service advisors desk just to see what probs are happening. I bet they alignment is messed up or a wheel bent from nailing a pothole or curb etc..
  21. did you reset your ecu to adapt?
  22. wow- you really run your GS hard :D and it's not even warmed up yet :whistles:
  23. they are all the same color, greenish white
