i might have posted the end of school means hibernation for my brain until its need senior year, but has anyone ever hit under a 9 for 0-60 with the spare? i hit 9.15 with me around 230 lbs. half full trunk 20 ish lbs, and the spare with tools ??lbs. is there a better way to get a good 0-60 witht he LS that doesnt including taking out all of this...

maybe like ways to stomp the pedal? tune the LS up? if so wat should be tuned?

well thanks ahead of time

oh and things witht he pops is a lil better he allows more net time and decided that cutting the internet is expesive like 50 plus and is unwilling to pay that much to cut the net so good news i'll stay as long as i can in this forum..,

if people dont have any idea what im talkign about searchf or a post of me leaving it explains there... its good to be back and see the old people keep on foruming

hey maybe more manners will help

when i heard a rapping noise on my LS it was the fans in the fron the thing holding it was lose or worn check with your dealer... i cant htink of the actually name of it right now

maybe i'll find my receipt that has it on there later if u are more polite

i dont know about the gear in the damper u are talking about though

wow my LS has about 157k miles on it proably more haha im very wearly of the current condition of the LS interior since its an everyday car and my family are pigs, its hard to keep the leather nice, i've had coffe soda water more soda spilled, any ideas? anyways rwallican sorry about your cutlass, i would rather get a subaru wrx then anything since im stil young i got to enjoy some speed, but since my dad and my mother actually all of my family is the worry worms feeding grounds they have to have the most reliable the most safest car in the world for me or i cant drive, which is horrible cus the LS is a monster in it self though not super fast on the 0-60 (i've tested it got 9.15 secs with 3 people in the car) still a monster.

btw i would get the LS430 since u have a wife and maybe even kids soon? the LS430 would bring your wife some extra comfort being its new, maybe i can buy your gs off u hahaha gl with the car shopping

heyg guys cuaght some online time, im wondering the same as rwallican, but aslo i also have a question for rwallican too, how is the difference between the Ls and the Gs, dad is currently allowing me to drive the LS to school and such, yet he shows interest in buying a newer model Lexus for me so i can drive, the LS broke down once in the middle of the street, and he doesnt wnat a repeat, and since a drive a 93 LS im wondering if the transition from LS to GS is good, or the LS 400 to the LS 430 is good, i mean i will drive whats given to me, but hopefully i can get info so my dad can just get me a car thanks guys

ye its cus u are reading a lexus forum where everyone here is a die hard lexus fan... like he said i would check out an audi site or an impartial judge such as kbb.com and maybe compare the 2 if u can

btw i got a change to go back online since the dad took the net away and this was the first website i check i still love this forum :D

due to certian problems with me and my dad i have been notifed that i have til the end of the month before my internet is disconnected also i have been limited to 1 hour of computer time.... before i leave i would love to thank everyone for the help with the problems i've had with my car, and thanks for all the great feedback, once i turn 18 i will hopfully get out of the house and be independant w/ or w/o my LS but i will return to this forum as soon as i can

thanks to everyone agian

good bye and farwell

AHH dam them if only they did my car might be in the shop for days at a time hahah

yes I do i take care of it more then my dad does and its his car

haha oh well im a bad story telling HAHA

man guys its been a while since i've posted but heres why!!!! hold your breath....

ok well it started tuesday and what happened was i was driving around town doing chores and such, as i just came back from LA, btw i got some sick picture of 2 GS400s when i was down there, but ye i was doing chores and as i finished i headed out to my youth group (St. John the Baptist of *****) and right before i got there WHAM!!!!

the car dies... right at a stop sign... i mean totally dies, no moving of pistons or anything.... luckily people in the neigborhood were nice enough to help me push my car to the side of the street... there i pop the hood to make it look like i knew what i was doing haha unluckily for me i didnt.... so i called up the old father and he dropped by.... turns out the coolant tank was cracked and there was a hole on the cover....

jumping from tuesday to thrusday

BLLUUPAAALUUUP WOOWOOOO

(think of wavy screen much like the wanyes world episode near the end with the alternate endings)

thrusday: dad and i put the car in the shop, they were dumb enough to give us a RX330 haha, actually i wanted the GS but they were like u arent buying a car u shouldnt get to pick ooh well so i had the RX all day very nice crossover car or whatever u want to call them, nice car all the same but then HEY its a lexus haha, well after we return the car on friday i took a look at the bill being i wasnt there for the billing on thrusday i was busy grubbing on the free food and free drinks in the dealership, freaking 2000+ just on parts, 50 for labor per part installed, dad decide to get only 3 parts installed but dang... new positive charge clamp/ring/connecter (old one was corroded) new harnessing for the fan, that was going to the shizzits, and new coolant tank which was very much nicer looking then my 93 piece of junk.... well after driving it out of the dealership i felt like a new man!!! the car felt fantasic im not sure if it was suppose to change everythiing when dad got those parts changed but dang, better braking, better steering, more power, it was just WHOA haha...

now tommarrow morning im getting the rest put on at dad's old friends shop, spark plugs spark plug wires, timing belt, brake pads front and back, new suspension, and i think thats it but wow lexus dealership just heighteed my love for lexus.... soo much money spent though still all worth it

i agree with silver... futhermore i think the reason we respect each other here is that we share a common love, though much of us are from every corner of the US , its the love that brings us together, and along that journey if we stop to smell the sweet smelling roses, or to chat about pimple medicine its all good...

i love lexus!!!

I just had my car in yesterday to have it tinted, but alas, the factory (bronze) tint is a film also & they wanted $90 to remove it, check yours first!

how does the bronze look? has anyone considered platitum?

Rudeness is not tolerated at the LOC...

This is a community, and from time to time we get off topic...

WELL SAID

hey guys i got a LS400 in champane or gold, what ever u want to call it....

does anyone have a good idea for tinting this car?? is there a color i should stay away from or a color that would look good on this car? in cali the law is no front window tint... but having glasses i could have a lighter tint, so with that in mind anyone have ideas?

by the way its now my 50th post in this forum 50 longer than any forum i have been included in!!! :P :D :D

is this something i could buy at my local drugstore? or do i have to get this prescribed?

they'll be comparing pimple medications soon.....

u know about that.... i was using clearsail for a while and then one time i acidently got it up my nose and it started this massive nose bleed.... everytime since then even if i dont get it up my nose i get a blood nose or make my nose prone to blood noses within hours.... any thoughts on this? anyone using something other then clearsal and think it seems to be working?

young no point in stopping it i tried that already, i got stray off from the topic too

ITS AMERICA FREEDOM TO CHOOSE

every once in a while i will throw in something about rights or america cus im at a stage where i believe in fighting for my rights and other peoples rights too, for instance i did a day of silence for !Removed!/!Removed! rights, to protest the discrimination agianist these people

why do you go until June 19??

well blake according to my high school in california, we are lazy bums that dont go to class, so to correct this problem my school district has placed extra holidays within the year for example, longer winter break, days off on random days, a week of in febuary things like this too make people wnat to go to school more, but in doing this they have to add more school days, and also in doing this they make the kids feel more relaxed and are edged not to work harder, which in turn causes more cutting class and that just causes the problem that they were trying to fix....

i think i dragged it on for too long the answer to that is in there somewhere

im a ninja i (eat) for breakfast, some times i :snoooorrrtttt: and my eyes look like this and then its the end haha

thanks for everyones help hopfully i get a good grade on this project...
