VMF

i would like to take a look at what those guys from lextasy can offer, cant wait to c the pix

same material but with professional help this time:) my friend works in the store where they do all kinds of upgrades, so he agreed to help me on weekend if he will have time

as far i know i have a timing belt on my 96 ls 400 i think we have the same engines. i checked on parts.com and they said its a timing bell and dealer gave me a price quote for it and its around 80$ but the labor will be much more, like from what they told me i need to change 3 belts, water pomp, all spakr wires and spark plugs, PCV valve, fuel filter and some other things i forgot, (i got the list at work), but this all together with net prices on parts from the dealer and labor from my mechanic will cost me around 800-1000$ so be ready to spend these money if your car has 100-120k miles

i was just shopping for new tires yesterday, my size is very expnsive for some reason, its like at leat 90$ for a 225/60/16 tire, but i think mishelins are the best, i got myself a cooper tire with V rating and this is what you have to take, it might be lil ruff, but it will last longer and it is rated for speeds up to 150, i got myself cooper tires, people understimate them for some reason, i know they dont look good on lexus but hey, if you want to pay extra 100$ for each tire then of course othewise my choises were dunlop and cooper, i want them to last a year and then i want to transfer to 18 inch rims. suprisingly when i changed tires today i felt that the steering wheel turns much easier and car handles better then with my old goodyears Eagle GT II. my local dealer gave me free warranty for 2 years, and free whill alignment anytime and free tire swapping. very good deal for 500$ that i paid for tires and installation all together.

no sorry didnt do any pix, but i will try again prolly this weekend

tried that mesh grill thing, it didnt look really good, didnt look good at all, so prolly i have to stick to some aftermarket parts, but they are like 450$, and i found it only on one site www.procarparts.com

hello every1 i need rear brake pads part number for 1996 ls 400 i wanna go to toyota dealership and get it there cheaper then in lexus delaership, but when i went there they said that lexus cut em off from their computer and they cant give me part without the part number, and i need those pads asap, one of em is so dead that its killin my rotor

on ebay they have only CDROM versions of those manuals and they are not as good as u think they are, i bought one from them it didnt really help me much, yes it will lead you through the regular maintenance, but nothing more,i have the same problem , lookin for the real manual for a long time now, cant find one for my year
