  1. I suggest going to http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php and posting this question....these guys are really knowledgable...most of them are anyway
  2. You can't get orginal Lexus wheels for that price? I won't sell them for $500. That's $100 a piece. I'll just keep them and look at them them.:whistles: Thanks for your input. ← have fun looking at them...cause that is exactly what you will be doing for that price.....tell them I said hi...
  3. no...people aren't as helpful on this board compared to other boards i'm part of....lots of question i ask go unanswered....kinda sucks...
  4. The clear piece over the gear labels is getting foggy....where can I buy on of these?
  5. Pics? Where did you get it from? I want to do the same...help... Here is a pic of mine....got it about 6 weeks ago...only 85k on it... http://home.comcast.net/~jeremycquinn/Lexus/1.jpg the only thing I've done so far is tint the windows...
  6. I agree 100% with Jimmy...although India is showing his age...50 by no means is the most sucessful rapper of all time...it doesn't even matter what measure you are using to measure him....records sold?...NO! money made? ....NO!! the most talent?...HELL NO!! true fans of hip hop laugh at 50s weak lyrics and delivery....he is the poster child of what is WRONG with rap today...he never really has a message and his overall infulence is negative....HE SUCKS! India...it seems that you are stuck on the fact that he makes a lot of money....I can tell you Jay Z and Puffy make him look poor...those are the true businessmen of the rap game...they built real businesses
  7. umm....i don't think I'd be using Lucas if I were you...I know you are trying to do good, but you are probably causing more harm than good....very comprehensive study done here....post on this forum also and get the gear head prospective...they hate this stuff http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm
  8. It is well worth your money to try Auto-Rx....I'm not affilated with them at all, but everbody on the Bob is the Oil guy forum raves about this product....these are serious gear heads and Auto-Rx is one of the only products they believe in. Go here to read the forums....(Go to the additive forum to ask questions about Auto-Rx and what it might be able to do for your car) http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultima....cgi?category=1 Go here to buy Auto-Rx if you so choose... http://www.auto-rx.com/ Report back to this forum and let us know what happens....make your own thread. I just bought 6 bottles of Auto-Rx for my 1996 Nissan Altima and my 1994 Lexus GS300.
  9. Oh yeah...I forgot to include in my story.... my wife (girlfriend at the time) bought a 1995 Ford Escort with only 50k miles on it. It took a crap at 118k. Something very serious broke in the engine and wasn't repairable. 118k!! We always took great care of the car. I called a few mechs to see if they could fix it....they asked what happened and I told them....they all said the same thing....more or less...that engine is known for this problem. So for now I will stick with our GS 300, Corolla and the Altima.
  10. Well...I'd like to share my story and experiences. I'm 28 yrs old and grew up with Ford everything. My gradfather worked at a Ford dealership and would drive home the classics so my dad got hooked. I would go to the races with my dad...he is a good friend of the owners of Steeda...we would travel to the Mustang shows and races...etc etc. Me being a loyal guy wanted to go the same route. I wanted to at least buy American! Well...the year was 1996 and I was 18 years old and a E1 in the Navy. I could only afford to purchase a 1998 Chevy Beretta (I had 1 day to find a car and it was the best I could find for the money...it was financed). It only had 60k miles on it. It ran great until about 95k and all kinds of stuff started to go on it. I traded it in for a 1996 Nissan Altima with 20k on it (I bought this in 1998). I still have this car sitting in my driveway with 169k and I HAVE NOT DONE 1 THING to it except change the oil, tuneup and brakes. My best friend bought a 1992 Camry with 90k on it in 1999. He still has that car. It currently has 209k on it and he treats it like crap. He floors it every where he goes....I just recently told him that he is supposed to put more than 4 qts of oil in the motor when he does his oil changes. He was like really? I was like yeah!! You have a V6...it takes more oil!! He had been doing that for years and this car still just keeps going!! That sold me on Toyota. Last week I bought a 1994 GS300 with 84k on it and one owner. Last year I bought my wife a 05 Corolla. I believe both of these cars with get 250k. I'm one to be fascinated with high mileage and I always ask people how many mile they have on their car. I've not really heard of too many high mileage American cars. I do believe Ford and GM might be building better cars right now, but I won't buy one until I start to see them get high mileage. They took years to ruin their reputation with me...and it will take years to build it. I would like to buy an American car for daily transportation...and I will....as soon as they are on par with the Asian cars. P.S. I have a special place in my heart for the Mustangs though!! I will get one on day...but not for daily driver.
  11. I have a 94 GS300.... I found this one on ebay..brand new with s&h for $55.90... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT It's $86.08 on their site... http://shop.knfilters.com/KNShop/Product.aspx?pid=33-2053 Good deal right? Any advice before I pull the trigger on this? I'm also looking at buying new OEM floor mats http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT and a new Antenna http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
  12. Alright...I ain't gonna mess with the oil plug, but I am going to stick with the Amsoil....I read through the huge syn vs dino oil threads last night...the ones on this forum and clublexus. I see Monarch a.k.a. Saber has a long history arguing his point. My conclusion is that for my purposes the Amsoil with the 7,500k drain interval will serve me well. I did the math last night and every 6 months we will only drive our two cars (my 1994 GS300 and my wife's 05 Corolla S) approximately 5,400 miles each. So it's not like I really pushing this oil. Laters!
  13. Well, I've done a ton of reading and I believe Amsoil is the way to go...at least Mobile 1 syn....what I hope to gain is an extended drain interval and a little saving of money. I went with the ASL 5w30 from Amsoil. It has a 7,500 or 6 month drain interval. I saw your reply to the "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know, about motor oil" thread. After all that data you said "Excellent? No, it's just generic engine oil information that is not necessarily applicable to Asian car manufacturers. For example, the article says: "Very few manufactures recommend 10W-40 any more, and some threaten to void warranties if it is used." . But the facts are even for the 2005 models, Nissan says 10W-40 is fine for temps above zero degrees http://www.saber.net/~monarch/nissan.jpg and Hyundai even approves of the use of 10W-50 http://www.saber.net/~monarch/hyundai2.jpg " You didn't even address all the great data that proves sythentic is superior to conventional oil. Please explain your line of thought....I'm open to learning if you got something to teach me other then the fact that Toyota doesn't recommend exceeding their interval.
  14. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAGNETIC-OI...70486QQtcZphoto Saw this on ebay....just ordered my Amsoil for the 1994 Lexus GS300 I purchased and was thinking about buying this oil plug. Good? Or waste of money?
