doc or SW , what do you guys think about 303 AP for the dash and interiors? heard some good things about it over at autopia ...

wow great job ...

agreed on the flex, I think it is a world of difference vs. the PC

did you use LC CCS pads or just the regular flat ones?

wow ... just bookmarked!

this thing still happenin? i might be in the area next weekend

ahhh i see... thanks for clarification

RWD's don't have that cap...

you may want to note that in your DIY.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "bolt" at the oil filter housing...

to remove the canister (cylinder that houses the oil filter), you will need a special tool like this one:

The OEM part number purchased from Lexus stealership is : 09228-06501

There is an aftermarket cheaper version made by Assenmacher : TOY-640 (http://www.toolsource.com/toyota-filter-wr...m-p-100298.html)

Follow bart's post and you should see what it will look like when removed.

As for draining the oil drain plug (which is a bolt), you will just need a 15mm (or 14mm?) socket wrench to remove the bolt. If it is extra tight, it may have been over-torqued, in which case you will just need to lengthen your socket wrench handle to give yourself more torque to untighten the bolt.

tom's lip looks very clean on SP ...

did you do the cutting yourself on the rear bumper? fitment looks good

what part number is your oil filter removal tool? (black cup in picture). And where did you buy it from?

I've seen wonders done with touch-up paint, and Menzerna polishing products (compound polish, SIP, and then P0106FF) with a porta-cable...

it seems I can replicate the sound 100% of the time by changing my A/C cold air path to blow onto my windshield ... after about a minute ....I guess the temperature of the dash changes enough and it will make the ticking noise..

as someone mentioned earlier in the post, it goes away when I press down on the area between the front center speaker grille and front air vent...

i've heard of people spraying frebreeze or some other form of antibacterial onto their in-cabin air filter.... and this had seemed to help...

I was trying to transfer my wife's phone book to the car and after 40 minutes it still had not transferred her phone book. The display scrren in the car stated that it was undergoing the transfer, but the phone did not say anything. She only has about 40 contacts on her phone. We cancelled the transfer because we did not want to run down the car's battery. How do you get the contacts to transfer from the phone? How long can we expect it to take?

i never got this to work either .... same exact problem ... :(
