  1. Change the pcv valve yourself it is only $10 and no tools just plug and play . Look at the back of the engien under the throttle body for a black pipe going to the valve cover. Swap it out and yoru done. I don;t think you have any flaw with your exhaust . It was treated to a flame and turned red hot ,it doesn;t cause the heat . Here is the simplest break down i can give you. The egr takes exhuast gases from the rear exhaust manifold and recuirculates it back into the intake system to burn off excess unburnt gas. This is controlled by driver load and the o2 sensors , which opens the egr when it senses a rich mix and closes when it is lean such as cruising. The egr does not make changes itself to the afr but just helps reduce emissions out the tailpipe.
  2. I agree ,call a local locksmith for a quote as they also change key cylinder/tumbles . I can;t see the tumbler being rekeyed to match the old keys being that much maybe $100 as the transponder security chips shoudl be reused.
  3. The output is atleast 3-4 times better since the normal yellow stlye ones are real dim.
  4. what, did you think i meant set is straight and leave the other axis off angle. Remember one thing i am a technition not a shade tree so i think i already know that army. It is not a sign of a bad rack either as a bad rack has sway and will go off a straight line with the slightest bump causing the need to corect and over correct continously.
  5. How did you hook up the wiring for the mirrors?
  6. first i am going to move this to general discussions second ,care to explain what the prank is besides parking cars in entrance ways????/
  7. You have folding mirrors on your car Neil?
  8. Actually the bulbs i am talking about are plain filament ones but mislabled xenon. They have a cobalt blue type coating to prduce a really clean white light not a blue one. Plus they are only $10 for a pair
  9. I am still in awe that they finally put a tunk release button on the trunk lid as well. I liked the woods but i would prefer a nice blackwood or ( as i am liek that) a brushed aluminum since carbon fiber on this level of vehicle woudl be out of place.
  10. If the car does not pull to any direction but the wheel is not straight it means the last peron to get an aligment was an idiot. they are supposed to center the wheel after bouncing the car up and down to remove tension on the tires and then lock the wheel straight with a tool. Then and only then can they do a proper alingment. After all they are aligning the steering wheel to the wheels.
  11. lol no problem being on the site so long has its privelages
  12. I wouldnt; be suprised if you egr was dirty with the rest of the intake manifold area. But i don;t see how it could cause stalling ,if stuck open you would get a rough idle when cold but great mlage.Stuck closed would give you bad milage but great performance . Still doesn't explain the red manifold. I wouldn;t have any faith in the Lexus dealer either. As a very hot cat indicates it is working, a red hot one would be it is running rich and gas is being poured into it to burn off. You still have factory plugs? That is a problem but not related to the stalling. Hopefully it is a plugged injector and the motorvac flushes it out.
  13. I find interior LED's even worse as the utput is always to directed to one spot. A nice cheap set of eurolight blue interior bulbs can do wonders for light. I have them in my civic and they are really much brighter than the stock styles for some reason. It is the only blue coated bulb i haev as a coating always decrease the output.
  14. WHat red light are you talking about the one on the dash or the key? As i don;t know of one on an OEM lexus key.
  15. Their are lots f black emblem style kits around to paint your emblems. It is basically touch up paint.
  16. Buying an LED that has good output and spread is hard to come by unless they use a reflector or a cluster of them . They look nie when desgined well but loook really dim when stuck in a regular filament socket.
  17. If your engine smoked then it would have destoryed your cat ,case closed.
  18. If you are not moving you got real problems for something to be clunking.
  19. Mcpherson is a design style of springs loaded on the shocks not the manufacture .
  20. It would be inside the door wouldn't it? SO you would have to open the door up to get it out????
  21. Hmm that is a nice display, never seen it. I agree my 2 cark-91 car ktis are amazing and i do love them, but it is redundant to me now. I keep the stupid earpeice in all day ,so i never have to look for it.No wire ,no looking and no fuss atleast for me. I agree most earpeices are really weird looking ,ok they are all weird looking. With mine being the least weirdest,lightest and lasts for 3 days on 1 charge if i don't use it alot. Now i need to find a cheap bluetooth GPS for my ipaq 5500 so i can get around to apointments easier. If anyone has one of those and any input i woudl apreciate it. thanks
  22. Never heard of an issue of noise here but if you do not lube all the rubber during install it will get noisy over time. I recommended the SS over the cs as you want it a touch lower and more luxury than sport. The SS is made for more lowering but not for track days ,the CS handle better but give up some softness to offer it to you. Most of all trd / l sportline suspension are always kyb shocks unless otherwise stated and eibach conservativly dropped springs. They usually are cheaper buying them yourself and putting it together without the names.
