  1. ES330 OASIS Green 140mph on cruise control on my way to vegas with one passenger and weekend luggage ..
  2. Excellent tires buy them with the damage warranty coverage and they are great having replaced yokohama avid V4s due to em wearing out after 20K discount tires are awesome carlexes330, how many miles do you have on your YK520 tires? Are they still quiet? Quiet seems to be the sore spot for the Avid V4S with Lexus owners in the survey of higher mileage users at TireRack. I never expect a tire to stay quiet for full warranty period but it would be nice if they stayed quiet for half of warranteed tread life. thanks, michael I have 20K on the tires and they are still quiet and not even partially worn
  3. I tried yokohama Avid V4s and they lasted 18K i changed them for YK520s and 20K later they are still like new no visible wear and plenty of tred left ;)
  4. Just go to any toyota dealer who will sell you one for $14 plus tax instead of lexus price of$44 plus tax
  5. original tires for 05 were toyos POS i chnged em at 9K worn out POS change em now for Yokohama YK 520s they are the best for the price and with 65K warranty you cant go wrong I'd go for the Yokohama V4S over the YK's personally. The all season that came standard on my 05 is the Bridgestone Turanza EL42's......about on par with the Bridgestone RE92's......which is complete garbage in anything but dry road conditions. I had the v4s and with the 65K warranty i wore em out after 20K and so changed them to yk 520s and they are far superior in all aspects

  8. original tires for 05 were toyos POS i chnged em at 9K worn out POS change em now for Yokohama YK 520s they are the best for the price and with 65K warranty you cant go wrong
  9. Replace it with a K& N filter from Pep Boys or autozone excellent with 1 million mile warranty and cost around $50 clean and reoil every 50K superb upgrade
  10. check ebay all weather mats for lexus i have em in my es330 and they are ace :) and cheaper on ebay than my dealer spookily enough

  12. something is draining your battery when parked check your heated seats maybe the relay is stuck on :) drive to sears get them to hook up their tester and then they will replace your dead battery with something worthwhile hope that helps
  13. they are semi metallic as standard but ceramics are far better and less brake dust
  14. Check out this but do it at your own risk http://www.wikihow.com/Override-Lexus-Navigation-Motion-Lock
  15. I have the clear bra from 3M on the car and would recommend it everyday it has stopped many chips and dings
  16. Excellent tires buy them with the damage warranty coverage and they are great having replaced yokohama avid V4s due to em wearing out after 20K discount tires are awesome
  17. Honda what a POS that would be compared to the lexus . 127K thats nothing as long as you keep up the oil and filter changes transmission fluid changes with filter you should see at least 300K before things start wearing out and at 7.5K thats $20 a mile ha ha try getting your honda to do that :) Change the standard air filter to a K&N filter (! million mile warranty clean it every 50K and re oil it ) buy your cabin filters from toyota $14 as opposed to $44 from lexus and you have a sweeeeet Car :) Tires use the yokohama yk 550s 65K warranty and are excellent
  18. I had Toyo proxes as oe total crap 11K worn out .yokohama AVID v4s excellent but lasted 18K changing to Yokohama YK520s all yokos have 60K warranty buy from Discount tires and all these yokos have 60K treadwear warrant on v rated tires superb if you wear em out b4 the 60K you get credit for exchange at discount tires . ill report on the YK520s shortly
  19. Change your brake fluid to ATE Super blue a much better fluid ATE Super Blue Racing High Performance Brake Fluid is designed to excel within the extreme demands made on a race vehicle and exceeds all DOT4 standards. It is compatible with and will mix well with most DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 fluids. The formula offers a minimal drop in boiling point due to outstanding water binding properties resulting in a long-lasting fluid that may not need to be changed for up to 3 years under normal highway driving conditions. Products with a lower wet boiling point have to be replaced considerably more often (e.g., DOT3 products should be replaced annually). The overall high dry and wet boiling points make this fluid an excellent choice for street driven vehicles, too, where brake fluid is flushed less frequently than that in race-driven vehicles. Features/Benefits of ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid: Blue tint of fluid makes bleeding brakes easier Ideal for race use, excellent choice for street driven vehicles, too Boiling point minimum: 536 degrees F Wet boiling point minimum: 388 degrees F Viscosity at -104 degrees F: max 1,400 mm 2/5 Designed to last up to 3 years under normal highway driving conditions
  20. Toyo Proxes last an unbelievable 10K before they were trashed great choice lexus...not ..I went ahead with Yokohama AVID V4s an amazing V rated tire that has lasted 18K....however the warranty is 60K so I contacted my local discount tires great service great advise and tires at great price..they'll even match tire rack with delivery pricing :) tire rack has an amazing site and you can get all the info you need when trying to choose your replacement tires. Anyhoo I digress the short story is they are allowing me to purchase Yokohama YK520s with a 60K warranty for $50 each installed with tire hazard warranty too thrown in the tires can be bought around $560 for a set of 4 and thats not installed balanced etc so Im getting a great deal. I will report on how these YK520s work out. You cant really go wrong with any of the yokohama V rated tires that have a 60K warranty pretty much the best Ive seen
  21. Stoners windshield cleaner in a spray bottle is the best
  22. meguiars NXT tech wax and the detailer sprayer are both awesome products :)
