  1. You get mroe boxes below your name for more posts which are all blue. The ones at the bottom besides the "warn" are for the moderators if any action is needed. The only people who can see each members level is that member and the moderators only.
  2. The antenna is imprinted on the bottom of the rear windsheild
  3. Resetting the ecu will only give you a few days of improved performance as the computer remaps to your driving . Great if you want instant power on a dyno but not for a real performance change
  4. I guess it is also much safer we can have our cars parked outside at night with no worries. :) lmao
  5. too many threads , this is a repeated question like oil being synthetic or not. PAY ME NOW ,OR PAY ME LATER.......... It is the only mantra
  6. Lexus, the luxury brand of Toyota, stands before a Rundumerneuerung of the model program. In all classes attack is made. The magic words are called all-wheel drive, Diesel and hybrid technology. Toyotas luxury brand Lexus is a Erfolgsstory. But are sold only in the USA nearly 85 per cent of all produced Lexus automobiles, to Europe been allotted only sieve there per cent. A condition with that the second largest automaker of the world to be content cannot, particularly since Toyota sees straight Wachstumspotenzial enormous on the European market. And still something disturbs the Toyota Bosse at the Lexus boom in the USA: It is based to time nearly to the half on the paragraph of the Gelaendegaenger RX 300 and LX 470, which marks the Lexus label more and more to the Suv instead of luxury mark. Therefore a complete renewal and extension of the Lexus program are introduced. It seizes already in the middle of 2005 with the new edition of the upper middle class: The new gs, on which the study already gave a stylistic Vorgeschmack to Lf-s, is to come not only as sedan, but maximally 18 months later also than sporty Crossover (VX), which could take up it then with the Infiniti. New IS also as Coupé Cabrio Tip of the spear of the Lexus offensive is however the next IS row. It debuetiert probably already to the IAA in the autumn 2005. The introduction on the market is to start however only 2006, particularly since roll more model variants than so far. Are planned apart from the somewhat more largely laid out sedan and the sport CROSS combination mentioned a Coupé Cabrio with electrohydraulically folding Hardtop Hardtop (sports club). In addition the new IS generation like the next gs optionally with all-wheel drive available will be. This platform is also the technical basis for the next RX 300. In addition associate new engines for the IS row: a Dreiliter-V6, a 2,2-Liter-Vierzylinder-Turbodiesel as well as a V8 for the werksgetunte version, which is to attack the coming BMW M3. Likewise 2006 are to be expected the LS 430-Nachfolger, which there is to be as normal and long version with different wheel bases. In addition the Achtzylinder Benziner is increased on 4,5 litres capacity. Also a Diesel version is in preparation, in order to reach in Europe with the flagship more operational readiness level. All-wheel drive is likewise optionally reproached. But the LS 450 does not mark long yet the end of the flag bar. Under the contraction HLS (High Luxury Sedan) Lexus works on a still larger luxury liner with 600 HP strong twelve-cylinder. Beyond that all Lexus models are to be in the future offered similar to the RX 300/RX 400h at least in a version with hybrid drive technology. Even with supersports cars no exception is to be made. To Tokyo engine Show in the autumn 2005 wants to reveal Toyota a V10-Mittelmotor-Supersportwagen (code TXT) with 5,5 litres capacity, more than 500 HP and sequenziellem six-course transmission, to which 2006 go into series and could also in a Lexus version come. It would be the first supersports car with hybrid technology.

  7. It is a busy area , most meets i attend and make are usually around 8 as most people are busy during the day. For a Toronto meet this is early . :) add your name to the list 1.

  8. I like motions idea. It doesn't need to be an RX40h forum but a leading edge of a hybrid forum
  9. It will be at 4pm rain or shine. I will add other names and clubs here to show the over all attending clubs
  10. One guy said clean the maf wire instead of replacing the o2 sensor.
  11. To me the key is to find someone who knows paint and how it should look. I see cleints cars all the time who think their car was repaired flawlessly until i inspect it and tell them they have to repaint the damage as it has lots of flaws I see.
  12. agree on both points The RX looks the same on the outside but the internals of its drivetrain is completly different. The extrior and interior are the same and since when do they break. Might just need a sub forum under the RX forum
  13. Umm , am i missing something the picture only shows a pontiac?
  14. If you have an airbag light you need to know the code. If it doesn;t come off you obviously have a problem that needs to be fixed. A relay for the airbag system? I am not sure what that would even do if you did find one which i don't think it does.
  15. No , sorry i must have been misunderstood. PUT THE LEXUS in the garage. Insurance can replace the civic of any year and any conditino in a day. A good well maintained lexus can never be found easily without alot of searching especially as you go older. You can't replace a well cared for vintage.
  16. I smoke and can;t stand a car or anywhere that reeks of smoke. I never use ashtrays it only makes the car stink. Like eveyone suggested take it to get detailed by a good shop, My guy removes all the seats to steam clean all the carpets. I did my civic on friday and man what a difference to remove the winter salts stains in my winter beater. I got a little crazy when he took out the seats, so while he cleaned them i poped out the center console ad pulled up the carpet. Wow what a mess the under pads where soaked and roten smelling ( it is 15 years old). I bought new under pad from a carpet store for $5 and dropped it in after cleaning the floor. Now the car smells cleaner but the previous owner had a dog as well as smoked in thr car,so now it smells a bit like wet dog .I also bought an ionic air purifier for $20 it works good to remove smells but has an odd smell like an operatory. If you hate hospitals then this would not be a good thing to get.
  17. Leave the civic outside although i have both my civic and lexus in the garage my wifes sunfire is outside and man do i wish someone would steal it.
  18. i am closing this thread #1 their is no proper points of why ,so it is just an argumentive start to a thread with no basis of truth . #2 the RX is still an RX #3 Kevin K has no right to tell anyone to leave , if he wants he can leave.
  19. The RX330 is made in Cambridge Ontario Canada. I am not sure of the 400h
  20. The ML has had quite a bit of a waiting list until delivered to dealers 3 weeks ago. It is a vast improvment over the prevous lemon. I have to say Alabama is no place to make a MB and the ML shows it. But to really be impartial you would need to compare the ML500 to the RX400h or the ML350 to the RX330.That would be much less biasied as they are totally different.
  21. swap your bulbs to see if it looks any different your auto aim motor might be scewed making it look dim
  22. Grab a ruler and do some measuring if you want to know for sure. measure where the tire goes in the wheel well the stock rim width i think 15x6 the offset is 43 now add you new values to find your space taken up by the wider rims. 215 is not going to be a problem to mount but not to drive 225 may have rubbing issues under weight and lowered especially. The rim you want is commonly made by taiwan sellers under tons of names find another maker with the right offset and width
