  1. DUDE THIS IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, TAKE OUT THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING IN, TAKE OFF THE POP OFFS ON THE GRILL AND FINESS OUT AND UP, POP OUT THE SNAPS THAT HOLD THE WHEEL WELLS IN PLACE. USE A 1/4 DRIVE RATCHET AND AN EXTENSION WITH A TEN MILLIMETER MAGNETIC SOCKET. TAKE OUT THAT BOLD, THEN ITS A LITTLE BIT OF FINESS. SERIOUSLY IF YOU WORKED ON CARS FOR A LIVING YOU WOULD NEVER MAKE ANY MONEY. THATS REDICULOUS BRING ME YOUR CAR AND ILL CHARGE YOU THE THREE HOUR RATE THE DEALER WOULD CHARGE AT $95 PER HOUR, AND ILL DELIVER YOUR CAR TO YOU IN HALF AN HOUR.....
  2. DID YOU REPLACE YOUR HEAD UNIT AS WELL. IF YOU DID THEN DID YOU REWIRE YOUR DOOR SPEAKERS AND BYPASS THE FACTORY AMPLIFIER. IF YOU DID THERE IS YOUR PROBLEM, IF NOT SIMPLY TURN DOWN THE BASS ON THE STERIO DECK AND TURN THE AMP TO A LOWER SETTING. YOU DONT NEED IT ON HIGH IF ALL YOUR LOOKING FOR IS GOOD SOUND. TOO HIGH SOUNDS REDICULOUS ANYWAYS.
  3. try this, rotate the tires from front to the rear, if the vibration stays the same, the shocks may not have the proper amount of pressure in them causing an over rebound, thus getting your vobration. if the vibration goes away, have someone drive in another car near you and watch your rear tires to see if they "bounce" while driving. if they do, the problem is the tire, and if you contact the manufacturer, let them know the problem, they will replace them for free. Its the law and if they do not replace them, you can contact your local BAR Bureau of Automotive Repair office and file a report. then contact the manufacturer and let them know that you have filed a report with the BAR for selling you a faulty safety related item on your vehicle. tell them that if they fix the problem for you, you will drop the complaint. do the same thing with the shocks if they turn out to be the problem and the dealer doesnt do anything to help you...
  4. i had the same thing happen to me, i just broke down and punched it, out popped the cd's and then kazzam, it started working again???
  5. sounds like a fuse is blown to me, usually caused by people leaving their phone charger in the damn thing all the time, then the wire comes into contact with something in the car, grounding the connector, blowing the fuse, just because the fuse looks good doesnt mean it tests good
  6. dude dont get scared, sounds like it could be a trans or engine mount as well, also check the u joints and the dust cover on the tailpiece housing.
  7. the main reason the warning is there is due to the fact that they are hid. they use an immense amount of electricity and if you get shocked, you can die from the jolt. you are supposed to power down the vehicle for at lease 15 minutes prior to doing any electrical work. they stand on a rubber mat and use robber fender covers to prevent any grounding.
  8. very simple, if you can create 1000whp with a supra, you can do it with an is, only difference is you can take the whole family for a ride at the same time, rather than one at a time
  9. okay heres the deal. you just had the tune up done, the problem is probably a cracked plug of a smashed electrode. lots of people have a problem with this in the number four cylinder because they try to use a shortcut without completely removing the intake manifold to change the plugs. second if you dont put the plug wires on securely with boot grease and you wash your engine you will arc out the spark causing a misfire. this can set the check engine light, however will generally set the trac and abs lights since they both work with the engine causing intentional misfires to slow your vehicle down in a situation where you lose traction to the wheels. this assists the stopping of your vehicle in panic situations. second, to gain the pressure back on the pedal you need to gravity bleed your brake system, do not use a power system, simply open the filler cap and all of the bleed screws in sequence farthest from master cylinder to closest to cylinder. be sure you never let the resevior emply as this will creat problems.
  10. there is a place in rancho, they sell tien suspension components for the is300. gt motorsports, their address is 9481 hyssop drive, the number is 909-989-2278. i just got off the phone with them and they have coilover kits ranging in price from $750 all the way up to $7000
