GoodYear Eagle F1's :) I had those on a Firebird and got caught in a couple snowstorms in Ohio. The tires did fine. Welcome to the darkside! That is some transformation - Firebird to a Lexus :D For awhile I had the Firebird and a IS300 at the same time. It was a 94 Formula I had for 10 years and sold with just 100,000 miles on it. Never had a minute's trouble with it.

Try a google search for D4S bulbs.

Where did all those yellow cars come from? :D

There's not even a dipstick to check the fluid level. I've never seen any more details than have been presented here.

First you stop typing in all caps. Then you get some O2 sims and put them in the holes where the O2 sensors would go.

It's a solvent, the main ingredient in fingernail polish remover. It's gonna dull the finish in that one spot and that's why I suggested some wax to shine it up again. If he waited for the glue to harden and then pulled it off, I'm pretty sure it's gonna tear the leather. Ever get super glue on your fingers and see how it pulls off the outer layer of skin when you pick it off?

Acetone will dissolve the super glue. It will probably dull the finish on the steering wheel though. Some wax shoe polish might minimize that effect.

It's like a string mop with some wax impregnated into the fibers. You only use it when there's a light coating of dust on the car, not when there's caked on dirt or mud or whatever. You just lightly stroke it over the car in one direction and occassionally shake the dust out of the mop. Done correctly it's not going to put any pressure on the paint. The dust clings to the mop and comes off the car. Of course it's assumed that underneath the dust the car surface is clean and preferably waxed. Like anything else, common sense applies. Does common sense get applied before or after the coat of wax? And where do I get some? Is it expensive? :) Sorry but that would be beyond the scope of this forum.

I just took another 80 mile round trip across Sand Mountain and the Conti Extremes were very smooth, great handling and quieter than the Dunlops. I havent' run them in the rain yet, but I'm totally sold on them already. I really didn't think all season tires would be so good. I'm now really serious about getting a like pair for the front.

You can go here and get 24 hr download permission for about $10. Most of the Lexus tech stuff is there. In fact you can probably download the entire tech manual if you don't mind doing it one PDF file at a time. http://techinfo.lexus.com/

I just put two of those Continentals on the rear of my IS350. I took about a 50 mile ride through the mountains and I'm very happy with the stabilility and grip. I think they're probably better than the Dunlop Sport Max that came on the car. I paid $402 total for 2 mounted and balanced at a local tire store. I expect I'll be putting some like them on the front in a few months.

None of those. It's the line that vents from your gas tank to the charcoal canister. There's another line that runs to your intake. It could also be a bad or loose fuel filler cap. Evap has to do with preventing gas fumes from evaporating into the air. The worst thing could be that the charcoal canister needs replaced.

Not necessary. If it's really cold, maybe wait till the super fast idle drops off and for driveability since the trans etc is kinda stiff when real cold. I'm talking below freezing and if the car was parked outside.

:D :D

I hate to go to class reunions cause the people seem so old.

Well, I spent some time reading the posts on the WEST formum. It appears that most of the posts seem like they are high school or college age kids. My wife and I are close to 60 (very young for our age), so hang'n out at the club parking lots and showing off our newest "hi-performance" mod is not what we're interested in. Oh well... we'll just put on Santana and hang out at the pool (90 degrees F!) and drink Sneaky Tikis!!! Thanks again pointing me over to the MY.IS Club site. Believe it or not you all are still younger than me. I do some posting there in the South threads. The demographic is changing for the IS300 crowd and we get an influx of young noobs.

The computer number is more of an estimate. Mine is usually about 1 mpg lower than my calculation. You really can't get an accurate figure on just one tank anyway due to the variation in your fill up level. Best way to get overall mpg is to do it over 3 or 4 tanks. That takes out some of the error in filling.

What car was this?

California Duster. I've been using the same one since 1994 on black, white, blue and Matador red. In fact I just got done dusting off the pollen and the car looks great.
