  1. i dunno brother......u seem to have some draw on the ecm but what all does that power when the cars off? you tried taking it to a stereo shop? could throw a optima in there and hope that covers it..........kinda crappy fix but tracing a electrical draw can be very timely and expensive unless you know someone. thats y im glad my best friends own a stereo shop here in town!

  2. replace the wife! no jk..... welcome to the forum! i dunno what to tell you bout that noise.......did you try taking it back to the shop that did your work? not that this matters but you said rims were replaced also.........rims? you replace more than the front right rim? i wouldn't think she bent the caliper brackets or anything like that but if your hearing it every time you break its def something to get looked at! good luck "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  3. welcome to the forum..........try eBay or sewell Lexus's website or Carson Toyota/Lexus both these dealers normally are cheaper for members! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  4. look at the the newer model Cadillac taillights and see how many of their leds are out! A LOT. but i like those taillights n have thought about getting them. remind me of junction produces taillights! how much you getting them for? but typically the leds are supposed to last longer!

"i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian

  11. i've read that before randy but heres a million more.... http://www.getnitrogen.org/sub2.php?view=print#best you can click on any link on there and read different things! i got it in mine when i got new tires for 20 bucks for all 5 tires...i woulddnt have paid the 40.00 a tire costco or sams wanted! many tire places switching to it here, so gotta be some truth in it? "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  12. welcome to the forum! no clue......u running anything aftremarket in the car? tv?alarm? autostart? my autostart on my es used to kill my battery every now and then! 0.9......seems little high "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  13. if i HAVE to pick i would say the one on the right......with the lines in the "blades" sorry im more of a smaller spoke person so niether is my taste but to each there own right? "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  14. well typically the first thing you do when a home or residential system starts freezing over is you check the filter. have you done this? and i dont mean the air filter i mean the cabin air filter........its in the glove box? if you havent changed/checked this make sure its not dirty first and foremost if it is change it......then make sure your freon isnt low! both these can cause the a/c to freeze over and leak everywhere! ok i have a ? for you............you said when u removed the black panel? what black panel....from where? are you getting continuity to either cig outlets? do you happen to have a ohm meter or can borrow one? did you get the door figured out as you didnt mention it? "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  15. welcome to the forum......im sure it is possible just might be more time/money than its worth! the better ? is y would you want that in your car instead of justa aftermarket radio? "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  16. welcome to the forum and it might help if you posted the year of your gs but im guessing by your answer that you have a 2nd generation? no they wont fit...if a guy hit it y is he not paying for it.....? try a junkyard, also any mirror (if you have a 2nd generation) will work be it for the gs300, the gs400, or the gs430! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  17. h rated tires should be fine.........as my stupid governor is set very low (122-124) i dont need a z rating! anyuways while your at it i would suggest filling them with nitrogen as long as its cheap it cost me 20 for all 5 tires........ (i ALWAYS) buy a matching full size spare! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  18. i would call the dealer (the lexus dealer and not the carmax) and find out if your factory warranty is still in effect! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  19. ok check the evap drain on the ac........make sure its not clogged and your system isnt freezing over! does a/c work right? someone had a diagram on here of the cigeratte removal the other day but for the life of me i cannot recall what thread it was in! doesnt work at all? or just when you use the remote the lock doesnt work? did you check the fuses? does anything on the door panel work........NOT from the drivers door but from the particular door in ? anyone can replace it but i will tell you this since i have a replaced windshield and it leaks air (even though i have had them try and fix it twice to no avail) if the insurance is paying for it go to the dealer if you paying for it go somewhere else and make sure they use FACTORY LEXUS GLASS......it will say lexus someplace on/in the glass! mine doesnt as mine is a aftermarket piece! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  20. welcome to the forum........if u 2 use the search feature there is a post about this matter or just pm dcfish! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  21. um u shouldnt have had to change your throttle body though! makes no sense.......especially if its just the sensor! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  22. lol yeah, price, reliability, etc etc tons more i have been riding the michelin energy mxv4 for almost 4 years now.........just got some on my gs430 about 2 months ago and my old es300 was shod with them also! so quiet, so comfortable but not the easiest on the wallet...... my 225/55/16 (? i think thats my size i would have to go outside and look and im being lazy right now) were like 171 a tire but to me they are worth it! to me.........some people they wouldnt be! "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  23. i just did my maint in my 2001 gs430 so they similiar except motor........ make sure you change your spark plugs too (sewell lexus's website had the cheapest price on oem plugs) as our cars dont seem to like anyhting but oem plugs! also while your doing the timing belt/water pump do the idler pulley and tensioner. im gonna post a kit from ebay (i bought a kit from this guy for my 2001 gs430 if u dont believe me check his feedback (im on feedback page 18 about 8 people down) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Supr...tem260256475468 couldn't find all those parts separately for a cheaper price! dont have to replace the ball joint/tie rods/steering rack bushings JUST check them unless you wanna just replace them! i only payed 400 in labor BUT my friend owns the shop so they cut me a break! i did bring them most the parts.....oh check your 2 make sure your cam seals arent leaking while u in there! hope this helps "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  24. if the pads you have on the front aren't ceramic or semi-metallic like they supposed to be,you gonna have to resurface the rotors too.....the dumb dumb i bought my car from threw some cheap pads on when i got it and 2 days l8r they had to come off...........i dunno if i have any shims on mine, never noticed them! lol.....i'll pm u that <_< , i mean i would hate to get suspended again :whistles: :lol: "i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian
  25. see crankt i told them i wasn't crazy. my freaking governor hits at 122 mph its soooooooooo lame. i had a gs300 get up and just walk off on me which is sooooooooo embarrassing! glad someone else has it rough lol!
