  1. Afraid I don't live in that area so won't be able to help you with another shop.  Toyota services Lexus cars/trucks so you should consider taking your vehicles there.

    Regarding the torquing your wheels, learned a very important lesson a couple of months ago.  The body-shop I used to install the read difuser on the R8 decided not to tighten my rear wheels.  I drove the car for a couple of days before one of the wheels almost came off... Love you, Total Recon Auto Center in Rockville, MD!!!  anyway, after being embarrassed by Ferrari and Jaguar owners on social media, a couple of my friends made me realize as a car-guy it's our responsibility not to depend on others to verify your vehicle is safe. The big shops like Lexus are kind-off obligated to work/fix your car since their reputation is on the line (within the community as well as Lexus/factory).  Best advise, stick with Lexus or Toyota as they will work on your car for free if they fudge the job, and the indies might not.

  2. Hi Everyone:

    Well I think it's time to upgrade the IS-F for something a bit more exotic. I would love the LF-A but that's probably not going to happen. So here is the listing for my 2008 IS-F w/ just under 50k on the odo. Asking $35,500 or best offer. PM me if you'd like to purchase this spunky kid.

    For sale, 2008 Lexus IS F w/ the 5.0L V8 sedan. This vehicle has always been garaged, dealer maintained, and no accidents. The Mercury Metallic exterior paint is in very good condition, with the dark graphite leather interior. This vehicle runs and drives extremely well, and is equipped with Intuitive Park Assist-Front and Rear Sensors, Cruise Control, Heated Front Seats, carbon fiber finished-center console, paddle shifters, and day-time-running lights (LED converted). The leather trimmed F Sport Seats w/ Ten -Way Power and Memory are in nearly pristine condition, and this vehicle comes standard with Bi-Xenon High-Intensity Discharge Headlamps, DVD Navigation, moon-roof and plenty of power. Included, Joe Z intake w/ Filter, and VAIS XM integration kit. Recently installed Michelin Pilot SS tires front/rear, front chin, roof and rear deck lid spoilers. Serious buyers please call or email.

  3. Well I did the same and traded the 06 GS300 for a 13 GS350. I wanted the F-Sport package but ended up with a base w/ cold weather package.

    I really hated the GS300. the engine and transmission was the worst performing system ever especially when the transmission's cold. It accelarated when I didn't need it to and had so little power. The brake pedal wasn't stiff even after i flushed it with reverse air pressure. :chairshot:

    The 350 has power, new interior, factory warranty. :wub:
    Just going to swap the exhaust with the Invidia, or Magnaflow, F-sport Intake is on its way in, clear bra and tint it in the spring or summer. Can't complaint for a commuter vehicle.

  4. Generally if the dealer did the recall and they can show it, it's probably been done already. I believe 0w20 and 5w20 is recommended by Lexus for your car so something tells me your indy might have had a something loose causing the shaking. Perhaps a loose spark plug wire.

  5. I trade cars about every 2 1/2 years. Maybe by the time they grow on me I will be ready for one. ;)

    I see you have some Infinitis listed in your signature. Do you ever go on NICO? I traded a G37 coupe in on my 370Z. As a certified car NUT, I'm always looking for the next car I want to own.

    Afraid, I;m not on NICO. I'm on 6speedonline.com and mostly on this forum and CL. I was modding on one of the Infiniti forums back in the day but haven't been on it for quite sometime. Why do you ask?
