The TSB has nothing to do with buying new or used. So your good to go. If you would like to take it in and have them perform the brake TSB then just go to the TSB thread at the top of this forum and download the TSB and print it out. So when you go down to the dealership and explain they don't end up playing like they have never ever heard of that before and how so very unusual that you would have such an isolated problem, .

I read somewhere that tinted windows sometimes mess up the GPS signals. Is your IS tinted? I have very "illegal" 5% tint all the way around, and it's metallized. I get Sirrus, and XFM perfectly, and I don't have any Nav issues. It's possible the Nav unit may need to be reset or recalibrated, or the GPS sensor is bad.

Yes, actually. It is being worked on. ;)

So, Manchester, I was just wondering how it has worked out? Anyone else got new buffers and experiences?

I wonder if that's where the saying " Drive it like you stole it!" comes from..... :P

ABS codes don't come up on an ODBII scanner. You have to use an ABS code scanner. So what exactly is the problem? Do you feel anything when you hit the brakes? Do any of the cels come up? Does your cruise control still work ok?

If your talking about the trim around the center dash controls and the radio, I can only tell you that there is no way to repair it that I have found other than pulling all the components out, taping it all off, and using 1000 grit wet sand paper and just reasand the whole trim piece, then paint it black with a flat black for plastics. Then reassemble it. It's the only way I was able to fix one for someone elses IS 300.

Oh, right, so they stole the lighter?

Can someone translate: "changing battlefield mitjuwiui" ????? IS 4.32 million Yen alot of money yet?

I guess it would have made the car lighter.

Well, first of all, Welcome to the LOC. As for your escapade with the dealer and the the accident issue, that is strange. Atleast the insurance co. should have called you to verify the incident. I mean isn't there any burden of proof first? I haven't heard of any issues like your having. I would really press the issue with the dealer though.

Yeah, I think it's leaking much furhter forward near the fire wall, and being caught and traveling along some of the underpanels and just coming out there. Have you gone under the car and really looked close or have you just popped your head to the ground and saw where the wet spot was? If you want to find out where exactly the leak is, then your gonna need to get the car raised up on some jack stands or a lift, get under there, and start removing the plastic underpanels so you can trace the leak back to it's origin. But here's my thoughts. If your not going to fix it yourself, then don't waste your time as you'r gonna pay them to find it and fix it anyway. If you are going to fix it, then have a second car ready so after you take all the panels off and find the leak you can jump in the other car and go to the autoparts store to get the part or parts to replace the leaking ones.

Welcome to the LOC! I can fix the subject mispelling for you. Ok, it sounds like either the heater core or the piping just before it is leaking. I don't really understand what your question is, but it sounds like you just need to get that fixed. I would make sure the ac evaporator drain line is not plugged up also. That can lead to water inside the cabin on the floor boards, but if your having an issue with the coolant, that has nothing to do with the ac operation and is probably unrelated.

Yeah man, that's a perfect fit!!!! Yo, that is mad sick bro!!! B)

And where is the pic of new exhaust? I bet the jerk you bought it from robbed you on the price too huh? ;)

Actually, they look good! I like em! :)

Well obviously they can do it since they did it to my car. Don't think the reflashed the whole ECU because all my other personalized settings seem identical. Do I have to go back just to hav ethis dumb thing changed? Probably. No charge I would imagine.

Yeah, I think those only work if you link them to the bluetooth phonebook....LOL!!!!

Have you called the dealer to see if they can do it or not? I'm sure they can with the Toyota ECU scanner they have. If I'm not mistaken they have to reflash the ECU for that change.

I think we are confusing clunks with clicking. The clicking sound you hear when you first start to move is the brakes. That is normal, and alot of cars make that sound. The clunking sound that the op is talking about and being able to feel it in the steering wheel is a different issue. There must have been some damage to the control arms, or it's getting hung up on something from the wheel assembly being 2 inches out of position.

Buy it. Your gonna love it. The 2JZ motor is an awsome engine with years of proven performance. 16K for an 04 in showroom condition is a good price. Don't swaet the gas mileage to much. Although you do know it's also premium fuel not regular?

This looks like it could be Elmo's new friend! Or this car belongs to Grover for driving down Sesame street! Here's a another angle that might give you a different perspective: The dash is what interests me. The dash is way cool, but the steering wheel and gauges have to change, everytime I see this now all I see is Grover's car! LOL!!

Welcome to the LOC! :) I agree with you 100%! The GTO is fast, but the Lexus is great looking, super nice, AND fast! Then throw in the reliability factor and the posch service departments and you almost can't help but think what the heck have I been missing?

Ok, let me see what I can see here.
