  2. i c....well cool...looks good. u gonna paint that trim soon or what you doing with it?
  3. im assuming he will paint that soon and was just test fitting? op...nice job...very creative. so r u using a power inverter to run this?
  4. just like we stated before on the other site....search ebay/classified/contact some of the parts distributors(recyclers) from the other site,or get to googling....lotta parts recyclers on the internet now. good luck
  5. cool....yeah i hear u. most things are simple but between 2 jobs and everything else my time is really short so i just drop it to them and pay bout half the labor rates plus i supply my parts so it works out for me
  6. well i have never found its worth rebuilding a tranny....always went with the option of buying a good,used one. good luck sir
  7. Provide some before and after pics, ive been thinking of getting a front lip spoiler. Im leaning towards TTE version. google sir....or maybe you could try searching on this board? heres the TTE lip.... http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=54193 or here http://www.tte.de/popup/Lexus/cm_lexus_GS3...rontspoiler.htm and the greddy lip http://www.luxurymods.com/index.asp?PageAc...&ProdID=216 to me its a no brainer...the TTE looks alot better
  8. lol....i try to stay away from the stealership in town but if that's where you feel comfortable take her there. i have 2 good mechanics so i just use them :D
  9. ok....my gf was a virgin before i met here sorry man truthfully cannot help you here....but u asked me to tell u a lie
  10. could be a wheel bearing....check ball joints, tie rods, control arms, etc....time to get under the car my friend
  11. no it isnt....the cable gets kinked/old and stops working....has nothing to do with dirt. most gs's have a problem with this it coulda been just that....would love to see the pics
  12. who said drive it? they do make tow trucks....and its possible its a solenoid but a tranny expert or someone with more tranny knowledge than me might be able to help out
  13. i have a one used phillips bulb and one used oem bulb....i assume u mean the factory HID bulb correct?p.m. if u need/want them
  14. just got the computer on it and no codes, draining fluid again and will drop pan and change filter... will it be looking like I have to replace the tranny?? seems like no one has any imput at all on this topic?? take it to a experienced tranny shop and get a estimate....see what they say
  15. no sir its been sold...im updating to a gen 4 with the 8.1 update courtesy of dcfish....soon...i hope
  16. yes......lol. there are no electrical parts to the hood....on any car im aware of (although I'm sure SOME do have some electrical parts) mine would work when it felt like it....i finally got fed up and changed it. never had a problem since.
  17. if its oem then yes its bolted on....if its aftermarket it can be 3m'ed down or bolted.
  18. what? who tells you'll this stuff.....no the hood doesnt....and i didnt know caddies trunks do that but\u just have the same problems MOST gs's get ... with the hood latch actually not working very well. mine would work sometimes and sometimes not...just replace the cable its cheap and will fix the problem http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-second-...eplacement.html
  19. yeah that seems kinda silly to me also Well I guess you just have to get inside the door and study the workings to know that no locksmith could unlock this door. The mechanism was jammed, so hard that even when I removed the actuator, I could not un-jam by pulling on the cable. A slim jim had no chance, even if it could work on this type of cable system. The only other fix I heard of was someone took it to a body shop. They probably did something similar to access the lock. i guess i would have to see it but there should ALWAYS be a other route besides drilling a hole into the car, regardless you got it fixed and thats what matters
  20. that depends on your mechanical knowledge really....intake/exhaust systems can call always help a car breath...the more air in/out normally the more power you can make. just do your research ALOT info out all on the web comparing dyno numbers and etc on most of them
  21. Thank you for your response! I will have to look into it, but do you know how much the price will be roughly for the SRT intake with the ECU? Nevermind, I found the price on their site; I was being lazy :P yeah they want WAY to much from there site... http://www.swiftracing.com/SRT/item.aspx?id=85 keep an eye on the classifieds, ebay (pm me i'll tell you where you can normally find one)
  22. dont feel bad...i dont have one yet either....ALTHOUGH i will come this summer when i repaint my bumper! :D
  23. could also try a header and exhaust if your wanting to free up some power...
