  1. It should fit. Ask the Dealer for the Part Numbers.
  2. I wouldn't replace the circuit board without swapping the Odo chip. In most cases the bulbs and needles need to be replaced or serviced. There are a number of places where you can sent the cluster and have them refurbish it. Search the Forum for more info. We've talked about this issue forever.
  3. Cool. Congrats on the purchase, and welcome to the Club. We have a lot of How-to's and other suggestions about your car. Use the Search features and you should be able to find what you're looking for.
  4. It could be anything. take a look at your serpentine belt for flexibility.
  5. Won't be able to tell you off the top of my head since I haven't started my upgrade yet.
  6. Man that throaty. I wonder if Grand Theft Auto copied that sound bit from your exhaust :
  7. Do you live in the City or Downstate/Upstate? Don't drive it if you live in the city.
  8. sounds like the Dirty Filter might have been the culprit. Any chance the Tech added something else?
  9. You shouldn't feel a lag. You have the V8.
  10. sure. Give it some time to pass.
  11. Okay, I've gotta correct you. An engine can't be Naturally Aspirated(NA) and a Turbo(T). There are a number of options for a Turbo Kit, but before you invest you're income into a 500 bhp turbo system I suggest reading up on the tech notes. Visit the following site: Intellextual then visit Lextreme-Tutorial Turbo Size is something I'm not going to give you because you're going to change your mind after you've weighed your options. I will suggest not considering a 500 bhp car because you probably won't be able to handle the Torque or the Horse Power after 400. Lextreme has a shop in the LA area. Perhaps you can consult with him or the Supra Store.
  12. Have you been able to solve this problem?
  13. $1700 sounds about right for OEM parts. I would have opted for JICs or TEINs Coilovers for about $3-400 less but that's me. As far as the mechanic changing the parts, it's kind of up to you. I probably would have changed the parts since they'll eventually need to be replaced, and attempt to recover some cost back for the used parts for like a few hundred $$, and a local pick-up ONLY.
  14. Good Job. Thanks for the tutorial.
  15. Great job for a "rookie'!! :D Thanks for the comment, 60+ views last time I checked and no comments lol Great job.
  16. Are you seeing White Smoke or Blue / or Black? and why are you changing your Oil. Also am i reading this correctly, you've changed your oil from 5w to 20w? Do you mind clarifying what you did?
  17. very likely. You could find a junk yard version for $3-4k or less, and rebuild it.
  18. I'd replace the ERG Modulator. Sometimes debris gets stuck in there and you can't get it out.
  19. Rod Millen Motorsports have a couple of Mufflers that almost mimic the GCoupe exhaust notes. saw a dual set on LExtasy's website today for$650. check on Youtube for a few soundbites. that should help you get an idea. You can also listen to a Tunabe exhaust. they usually have a low grumpth and High pitch on higher RPMs. if you haven't already I'd opt for a high-flow cat with the resonators. they tend to be a bit quieter and deeper on 2jz cars.
  20. Parts.com I haven't dealt with in the past but Carparts.com I have. I've also dealt with Keystone and Summit Racing Equipment, and can only suggest you visit them.
  21. yeah man. I hope everything went well with you, your family and your home. hurricanes getting worse every year. Our prayers are with you.
  22. To bad you guys aren't closer to the DC Area. I have the stock calipers and rotors from my SC that i want to get rid of for $50 pick-up.
  23. ANYONE??? Its really annoying me, i have a practically new bulb in there. It starts out at the right speed (still blinking dim) and then speeds up. The rear turn signal also speeds up but is not dim. It sounds like there's a short somewhere. check your tail light signal and see if you have a bad bulb. Did you have this problem before or after your housing swap? After the housing swap, but i have the halo's wired into the running lights.....i dont see how the turn signal is affected. I found the problem. One of the butt connectors i used to wire in the balast for the halo let go of the wire and allowed it to grounds itself to the frame of the car, which looks like it just burned the wire back until it didnt touch anymore. I am just absolutely floored that it didnt pop any sort of fuse. All it did was damage one of the elements in the turn signal bulb on that side. I replaced it with another SilverStar and i was on my way. (after fixing the short issue, lol) Glad that was the problem. It's a Lexus.
  24. glad it worked out.
  25. It sounds like the transmission mount. I'd suggest replacing the mount(s) before changing the fluid, unless you think it's needed.
