  1. yep sometimes the new ideas make things go backwards.....
  2. http://www.clublexus...y-ac-servo.html and see post 35 from this thread, http://www.clublexus.com/forums/3946871-post35.html
  3. here you go.... http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59422
  4. Really? I know many of the toyota products now claim lifetime, but that is purely a sales gimick. Somebody has to have the procedure.....
  5. Oh Lexirx330, I am so sorry....I will pray for you and your friends family... That is truely terrible....
  6. gorgous car, welcome aboard.
  7. Hey I still agree they collectively are the kings and queens, Some of them want to change the broken stuff, but the old guard still rules. Hey Obama hasnt offered anything more than any other politician to fix the problems, just more of its the rich dont share enough. I am so tired of hearing its not fair. Whats not fair? That some dont want to work, and others do....Lets create a economy that supports the work ethic.... Getting rid of the two heads of House and Senate would be a great start....They are old guard....They do as much to divide this country as Obama does. At least Ryan wants to sit down and pound out some solutions. From what I have heard people on the other side of the aisle find him at least straight forward, and willing to have some dialog. Much better than what Obama did to him with the budget committe
  8. see here: http://www.rockauto....ramecatalog.php I just checked and the sensor is the same as the Toyota Landcruiser from 1998-2007
  9. A source I have used over the years is Rock Auto.com...They list speed sensors and then have a info list of vehicles that the sensor goes in.
  10. Sorry about the loss of a important part of the family...time heals, but it is tough. Set up a little memorial to your loss pet and have the kids be part of it. Maybe a Special Rock in the corner of the garden with some painting of thoughts about the better times with your dog. Kids need to know that their thoughts can be remembered also, Again sorry to hear about your loss, been there a few times and it really sucks...
  11. I believe all of those have to be on the table, We need to think out of the box. Mediacare and Social Security have to be saved, but maybe in a way that government doesnt raid the systems, Spending does not have to increase. It should be froze for a few years...This would give the government some real thought processes on how to save. Taxes, well I feel that should be on the table also, maybe there is a compromise for short term, but put stipulations on where exactly they would go. The problem with government is they see this giant candy dish, and just dip without thinking. The whole concept of a budget has to be brought back to basics. Trust me there is huge amounts of waste still to this day. My wife is in government and it makes me cry to hear what crap they pull to bypass the freezes on hiring, spending, etc. I had government as a customer Both Federal and State for over 30 years, and I could tell you years of stories of rediculous waste. Until folks realize the golden goose has been cooked, we need to really show some real problem solving, not the knee jerk ideas that come out of the 535 little kings and queens. As for Romneys plan, it is just an outline of his thoughts, remember ideas have to be hammered out in Congress. Get rid of the road blocks and lets see some people that are willing to sit down and roll their sleeves up and do what our founding fathers did. I want to see problem solving, not party bickering.
  12. Unfortunately those budget numbers again are a moving target based on projections...If the Whitehouses projections on unemployment are constantly revised, expect the same with the budget stuff. They are just trying to snow ball everybody with numbers that are not even close to true.
  13. Welcome aboard, Great car, enjoy your ride.
  14. here is a great thread from CL http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-first-generation/454575-diy-replacing-air-fuel-sensor.html
  15. Weird, our old RX300 and our present RX400h both cool incredibly well...our tempertures have only hit 105 degrees here. The RX450h uses an electric compressor, but it should still be very efficient. Your temps are good coming out of the register...
  16. Beer wont do it, try Vodka and juice on the rocks...really helps everything.
  17. I watched CNN, MSNBC, And Fox last night...CNN and Fox gave a fair analysis of the speeches last night, MSNBC could only talk about how mean Christie looked. Then when it came to Ann Romney speech they said it was contrilled to make the Romneys look like everyday folks. Well they are rich, but they have the same issues that we all have. The far left can never attack or come up with solutions that are really pending this nation. They would rather nitpick anything else but the problem. That is what is so infuriating, They want to pick the Flysh$it out of the pepper barrel instead of listen to the message. If not that jump on these other issues which mean nothing to most Americans...We want a budget and Jobs. Solving these problems is the real issue, and which party is going to do it better and faster.
  18. I agree, have never felt the kind of torque the 400h has. Only downside is that the mileage goes down because i feel like a 15 year old with dad's car on a quiet street with nobody looking.
  19. I have been around government for over 40 years as an adult, I have seen how they do budgets. When the end of the year came up we spent like drunken sailers on garbage to make sure we spent everything so that we could get our increase in budget the next year. That mentality has never changed. When ever politicians talk budget it has always been about expansion of budget, and then when it is reduced (the expansion) they cry that the budget was cut. Those figures you have are bogus...I can guarantee it. These offices dont want you to know the real truth. Funny in private companies and businesses you have a fixed income, and can only spend what you have, that has never been the case with government. Oh yea they go through the motions, but it is crap. The majority of Politicians do not have a clue on how to figure the budget, it is so corrupted with bad numbers that it is like a moving target. Projecting a decrease in deficit is based on the same mentality. When someone gives the true numbers and tries to move toward really balancing the budget, we all wont be here. But somebody better start making some drastic moves soon.
  20. The only thing that is shrinking is the increases in desired spending. Government has never cut back, but only reduced what they project to spend the next year. That is why we are broke. Until Americans wake up and realize that a decrease to government is a reduction in growth of the budget we are doomed. 20 trillion coming up shortly if we continue. Funny how media, politicians, etc can reword the facts to achieve their goals, but in terms of real money we are overspent, and way out of budget. Your friends, children, grandchildren are doomed to loose their middle class level of living if this continues. The only classes will be everyone and the rich....No better than Mexico, Greece, etc.....Sad, we had one of the best standards of living in the world over all and we are loosing it rapidly. For you math guys, if you are spending $2 and then project spending $3, and say you are cutting back by spending only $2.50...what is your result? All while telling the voters you cut back...Who in the heck is telling the real truth, probably only guys like Ron Paul...I know he is a crazy old guy, but he has a lot of common sense....(no I am not a Ron Paul guy)

    Tire Wear

    You know with the move to larger rims, seems tire wear has gone down....Probably because of the construction....However some tires are better than others.
  22. My sons also shaked, Replaced with aftermarket rotors (slotted) from fleabay, all shaking is gone....
  23. Well the movie will probably be number two this weekend....Locally the Davis (University town) residents felt the movie didnt affect their vote. On the other side my town Roseville, Residents viewing supported the film. So pretty much no change on outlook....at least for the hard core.
  24. nice wheels
  25. hey now you can go buy that thing you really wanted, tell wifey how much you saved.
