    Last fill up was 74.25 @ 19 gallons @ 3.92 a gallon in chicago. I get about 18-19mpg combined city/highway (halfway is only about 5-7 miles per day)

    Hi I need to replace a few of the interior light bulbs in my 96 LS and i remember reading a thread either on here (maybe clublexus but pretty sure it was here) that said i can get the bulbs from radio shack versus the dealer bending me over. Can someone link me to that thread and/or just give me the part numbers? thanks a lot

    My girlfriend's saturn had the thermo stuck open, wouldn't get above the first white line.

    Coolant temp sensor could be bad or you might need a new thermostat (stuck open).

    You have to understand that not everyone on forums are here to help, others register and post spam or attach things and try to create problems. It was just strange that your first post was an attachment and a compressed zipped file. I'll download it and see what happens and report back.

    Strange first post, i'd be careful of downloading a zipped 1 from someone where this is his first post.

    Honestly, try using a Magic Eraser. Go slow and see if it comes out. I spilled a pretty big glass of wine on my friend's carpet in her apt. We "dabbed" it up as much as we could and then used a magic eraser on the rest of it. You'll never know where i spilled it ;)

    Only problem with synthetic on a high mileage motor is whether or not it will leak as previous poster has said. Try and see if you get any leaks. If you do, i'd just use normal oil.

    I almost like the look of the 05 avalon better than the 05 430. It almost seems like Lexus went in reverse from the 1st/2nd gen LS to the 430s, seems to be more boxier. Avalon looks smoother.

    No offense to the previous poster but STI owners tend to be car enthusiasts who know how to drive so i wouldn't look for him to be missing gears or smoking the tires off the line.

    Just take out the spark plug in #1 and rotate the crank until you hear the big WHOOOSH. that's the compression stroke.

    2006 IS350 vs 2006 WRX STI is gonna = STI beating you no matter what you do UNLESS they really don't know how to drive stick. I looked it up for you and real world 1/4 times for your IS is in the 13.8-14.2 range based on driver abilitiy and the STI is more in the 13.3-13.6 range THAT'S A LOT. So hope that he doesn't know how to drive and you might have a chance :)

    There really is no "safe level" of boost. you just need to find out how much boost you can run with 93 octane for the compression level your motor has and make sure it's tuned rich enough for the occasion bad tank of gas you will get from the pump. No matter how much "safe boost" you have it only takes a little bit of detonation for the "boom."
