  1. I can't remeber but does your RX have pin switches? Disconnect the battery to reset the settings and the alarm should lock and unlock the doors again as it is a c-best setting.
  2. Where did you get the bulbs and how much?
  3. Where and how far back did you pull the weatherstripping? I had to pull about a 1 foot area back to find the rust on the car under the rubber not on it. Also make sure the rubber plug on the bottom of the trunk is still there and not missing.
  4. It is not that rare. Another member had the same problem and how he made a new one to stop this part from breaking often.
  5. Get a stylish Prada bag and find somewhere nice to make it stay in place to be used as a garbage. It will give your "friends" an idea of how far you would go to use a Prada bag for garbage in your machine. Otherwise you are going to have a problem telling acquaintances to be careful. Everyone i know ,knows about me and my cars . Women who could not careless ,always make sure to knock the dirt/snow off there shoes before entering . They do this not to anger or appease me but because the respect how much time i take to make each one of my cars "MY CAR" not just a car. They always give me a smirk and glance when they do it but they understand at this point in my life i don't have kids i have cars.
  6. Never heard of them? Are they dedicated to a certian weather or driving style?
  7. Sorry thread , you lost me . I am not sure if you are asking me a question or for me to validate your feelings on it? You seem to know what your talking about as a gas tank additive cannot affect the TB area including the egr and a TB cleaner cannot clean the injectors. So both ways need to be done for a proper cleaning. Unfortunately i have now used my whole case out of seafoam i bought on my last drive to the states . Now i have to wait until i head back south of the border to get some at NAPA. BTW i changed my oil today and added some seafoam (last can) before the change and it is nice and quiet again. The only noise i can hear is those damn Toyota injectors clicking away.
  8. On almost all Toyotas they are located in the center console either under the armrest area or shifter.Just look for the Yellow harness couplers
  9. have you tried a search.........................................
  10. Had the same problem with my 98 LS. The trunk lid seal was allowing water in the trunk and pooling by the spare tire. It was actually caused by rust along the weatherstrips edge on the spot welds which caused a space for water to infiltrate the interior of the trunk.
  11. I don't notice any increases in noise only an reduction in fuel mileage. Just ran a can and a half for a 5 hour drive to a funeral a few days ago . No real changes that i have noticed ,still no comparison to ingesting it through the TB.
  12. You could use a window roll up kit but it will be very expensive as each one only rolls up one window . It also will not make it one touch close/open so you will need some kind of trigger since you factory switch cannot have an additinal position. The factory auto close/open is controlled by seperate ecu's in each door and the factory switch having 4 positions each. Normal open and close then auto open and close when pressed down fully
  13. Kuhmo makes complete crap. Of 4 sets i had sidewall buldges on 12 tires which i find ridiculously poor in quality.
  14. All external tranny filters are universal ,the only difference is the pipe diameters. There is a thread with pics and prices of the wix and another couple brands that are sold.
  15. Glad it is working out as planned for you.
  16. Buy a new crush washer to replace the new one that leaked as any dirt or odd surface will etch them and cause a leak again sooner or later.
  17. First who said anything about there being a rule that army broke? If there was he would have been warned and suspended with the thread deleted. Army is not being warned as it has nothing to do with the "LOC" and him . It is an issue i am asking that with the rest of Army's posts he keep to his friends. RF your welcome to your opinion as am i but i never called anyone any names so what is with the "You are Really showing are your !Removed!" and "you self centerd buffoon". If i was actually self centered and so involved in myself then what do my posts consist of? 90% of all my posts are to help troubleshoot a problem and answer a question . How many threads have i started ? The answer is not very much as i have more to bring to the table than i am here to reap from others. I also never said anything about army's wife or car where the hell did anyone read that ?The closest reference i made was to update those facts on his blog. you guys need to read more carefully what is written not what you thought was . And your right RF you would not see an apology from me as i have nothing " I " would apologize for. I know what i said and stand by it. I wish you the best in your marriage as i do not have a problem with you (your fiance or her car,where ever that came from )just the never ending array of pointless threads that you make.
  18. Hey i have an idea . Let's all start threads that are absolutely pointless in any way to a "Lexus" community or a car community................ After all it is a "General Discussion Section" so that means post anything for whatever reason ,right? You want to talk about your Ford ,sure You have a problem and want advice ,maybe. But the continuous posting of thread after thread of you having no internet , you having seen another car get into an accident and the other numerous waste of space threads are truly numbing. Just answer one question then, if you have a Blog why are you not posting there why here????????? Is that not the reason for having one? Do you just want to hear someone type congratulations or its OK all the time to you , does that make you feel better about life? Wonder all you like about my tendencies. You may think no one complains because you do not hear about it directly but don't think others find it utterly useless to the "community" to be barraged with useless facts of your being on a daily basis. For example from previous Pm's i have received "Apparently the words 'management gold' don't carry much weight . LOL Please stop me from starting a poll on the relevance and quality of his posts, with the header, "lotta ppl complain". thanks again for the great forum," or this one Does he actually drive a Lexus or really own one? Is there any restrictions for members, age or ownership? I for one like to exchange Ideas and comments about the Lexus cars we own or owned. "Not to converse with a child younger than my Daughter. whose opinions are mostly worthless. Seems He like to hear himself... What's your take on this?" Hope this clarifies things for you.
  19. Why would you think the "LOC would like to know? You have friends here and they might like to know but the LOC as a whole being that interested in the particulars of your life .................. If you have a blog then all your friends "LOC" and otherwise will be checking it for the updates on your day to day interests and changes ,know what i mean? If your friends do not know you have a blog then replace the oversized shopping list of a Sig you have with a link to your blog .There you can list your particulars of your life car ,wife and anything else that is important to you that your friends may be interested in.
  20. All oem kits are like this as a preventative measure since the oem systems never screw in but are held by a clasp. OEM kits are the best hands down. www.hidplanet.com
  21. Springs keep the height and bear all the weight of the car. Shocks only slow the bounce bound/rebound compression of the spring. So if your shocks wear out they also cause more load on the springs and they wear out as well. It is a good idea if one corner is bad that you completly replace the suspension other wise you will only be wearing out your newer compnents faster and pay more to replace them in the long run.
  22. Get rid of the lock nuts, they cause more problems for owners than they ever do for theives. Besides who steals 15 year old stock rims.
  23. Agreed , The problem is the rotors are warped ,the cause could be many though.
  24. Make a blog and post all your details and pics there.
  25. I doubt you will get to sit in the LS but anything is possible. The LS is now on a turntable as it is a prototype .
