  1. Not sure about the AWD cars but projected tire life for the RWD cars is 15,000 to 20,000 miles. IS 300's had an inside tire wear problem, but they could be aligned so as to minimize that.
  2. It resets the engine ECU. BTW, I couldn't find the test procedure for the IAT.
  3. Editing out all the flowery cliche's would boil that article down to one stupid paragraph. Once again it appears the author really didn't drive the car. Maybe he didn't even see one.
  4. http://www.optionimports.com/hkshiexisis0.html lists the HKS axleback. I haven't seen the Borla
  5. You can learn exactly what you state by reading some of the threads in this forum. This question has been addressed many times.
  6. You don't need to start a new thread every time an idea pops into your head. Please try to keep related things in the same thread. Also reading the posts on this forum might be informative. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=29408
  7. Yeah, we're not allowed to have sharp objects.
  8. Geeze, they stole the whole thing. :cries:
  9. Go to http://www.lexus-parts.com/ and describe your part and ask for a quote.
  10. I'm confused. Are you talking about the air filter or the mass air flow sensor?
  11. Rustoleum brush on Aluminum color paint matches pretty well, just for a quick touchup.
  12. There may be something of interest in this thread: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...068&hl=audi
  13. I got it from a guy on another forum about 3 years ago. Haven't seen him around for awhile.
  14. I found the test specs for the MAF. Attached here. I'm still digging for the IAT. The CD I have isn't indexed. Sorry the two are duplicates but it should work. insp.pdf insp.pdf
  15. Does that remain true for both O2 or Nitrogen? My tires have Nitro in them - which I was told was inert and didn't expand or contract to the same "degree" as air. They said I would get better gas mileage. After a few months - I really do not see an improvement in mileage. Nitrogen may be a little less sensitive, but not really significant when it comes to temperature changes. The big claimed advantage is that it doesn't permeate through the rubber as fast and won't lose as much pressure over time. It also has a big advantage of not containing moisture, which can degrade tire materials. The fuel mileage is from maintaining pressure over two to three months, thus keeping rolling resistance down. I you air up your tires once a month or after major temperature changes, the only real advantage for nitrogen is the lack of mosture. Here are the claims. If you read carefully you'll see what I mean. http://www.citytireservice.com/nitrogen.htm
  16. Thanks for the post and the pics. Sorry I couldn't be there.
  17. The tire PSI will change 1 PSI per every 10 degrees in ambient temperature. Theoretically it would take a 40 degree change in temp to set off the pressure warnings.
  18. It ought to reset after you inflate the tires to within 4 PSI of the initial pressure.
  19. I've never seen a tutorial for that but you might get instructions from Veilside. Veilside USA 15960 Downey Ave Paramount, CA 90723 Phone: 562.633.0012 (M~F 9:00~5:30pm PST) Fax: 562.633.0041 General/Product Info: sales@veilside.com
  20. I've never ridden in the back seat. It's hard enough to get in there to clean.
  21. My owners manual recommends the brake fluid change at 36 months or 30,000 miles.
  22. This is from Colgan. Might find them discounted at other outlets. http://www.colgancustom.com/shop_vparts.php#1
  23. If you gotta have a front plate, then I don't see the problem. How you report is up to you but you might consider how they're going to treat you if you have to go back for warranty service.
