  1. 2 starters in 18 months on the same car
  2. glad you had the balls the check him and hopefully those codes wont cost you too much
  3. ill just keep mine for a luxo beater and get something newer
  4. pictures would be nice
  5. you might be correct, but why do toyoa engineers advie against gas & oil additives? as for the longer drain intervals, i havent commented on that, so i dont know why you would address that question to me. plus you still didnt answer my original question about an 80s toyota engine and todays toyota engine
  6. carbon build up is never a good thing for an engine so i would have to agree with TOYS and SK but monarch monarch most times you sound like you have good mechanical sense but other times you sound like you have too much faith in these engineers. if theengines were made so perfect there would be no reason to constantly make them BETTER. do you believe a toyota engine from the 80s is more efficient than the BEST toyota engine made today?
  7. if youtake the rotor off yourself and bring it to a machine shop youll pay between 5-$10 but if you take your car to the shop they will charge you like 80 bucks to resurface rotors in MY experience
  8. i just did the gas yank and brake booster oart of this deal a couple weaks ago but im wondering if i fouled my spark plugs b/c my mileage seems like its slightly worse but im going to change my air filter b4 i attribute it to my plugsbeing fouled
  9. 225/60/16
  10. he got a suspension for thar SW? ive seen worst than that in some threads without a suspension, but if he is a repeat offender dont mind me please. anyway how much do they want for the mustang? i personally would never make that trade, you would go from luxury sedan to regular old sedan that doesnt even look that good
  11. lexus 1 & 2 porsche 3rd
  12. i know the feeling, was it a difficult job? im thinking of changing mines soon and any tips would be helpful
  13. just get a book that shows you how to do a timing belt job for all cars and you will see it states that the 98ls was the first to become an interference engine
  14. i bought a key off of ebay and could not program it for the life of me, this was back in the summer so i put it up b/c i was just going to have th dealer do it, so i tried it one more time a couple of weeks ago and i got it on one try. just reread the instructions carefully and keep trying,make sure the steps are all the same in the different set of instructions
  15. try this http://www.cureline.net/lex/howtos/howto_k...tm#Programming2
  16. the only place you can get it cheaper is if i did it for you at your house if not that is a good deal. thatsat least a5-6 hour jod in labor plus the costs of materials so i say thats a good deal
  17. im sorry to say that you sound like an angry person that carries a gun which is no better than the guy trying to steal the bike.theres a reason that the police have the right to do some of the things that they do b/c they are trained professionals at their work. im not trying to insult you , just lettingyou know how your statement sounds.
  18. yeah but a lexus dealer over here will charge you $100 and up
  19. thatwas kind of dangerous, im glad it worked out, just cause your licensed to carry a weapon doesnt mean its the right thing to do that guy could have had a weapon also and no telling what he would have donewhen backed into a corner
  20. either your rotors were defective or i smell the dealership doing what they do best, trying to make you spend more than you have to spend
  21. ill check that real soon
  22. where are the picks?
  23. why should this be personal when you guys choose to bicker in a public forum over someone elses OPINION. I really take offense to you calling this thread !Removed! b/c im about as thorough a cat as your ever going to find and if you dont know what i mean by that we can leave it right there. Anyway i personally havent read any posts by this guy that are blatantly incorrect, it just seems like he has shares in toyota if you ask me. ive read plenty of posts were ppl ont know jack but still offer advice and no one starts slinging mud
  24. i dont think the thread should be locked until i can better understand why this is done. army i will pm you, but i cant pm everyone. so if anyone has an answer thats not too over the top or childish i would like to know. it seems to me if ppl dont like this guy then dont respond to his post its as simple as that. i dont understand why ppl claim hes this or that but feed the fire by going back and forth with him, which turns the thread into a "you dont know what your talking about and i dont like you anyway thread".When i read a thread that hes posted in its more about ppl arguing with him than what the thread is originally about.Ifi dont like or get along with a person i say my peace and keep it moving.
  25. ive been on the forums for quite a while and just would like to know why everyone jumps all overmonarch as soonas he makes a comment?I undersatand that he might beannoying to certain individuals even though i cant see why, except for the fact that he seems like hes a spokesperson for toyota.Is that really a reason to discredit everything he says?Im not for or against this guy it just bothers me a little when i read a thread that hes posted in and ppl turn it into a "lets get monarch thread" and the original post gets forgotten.
