  1. hard to get brighter as halogens are at the fringe end of their technology expansion which is why HID's came along for $300 you can get a great new or used system to eb plug and play for 10 minute install and lexus reliability i now use oem systems only in both of my cars
  2. oem mapping ,yes forced forget about it unless you made a new map to compensate to increase spool rate of a turbo then it would reduce the lag greatly but it would have to be mapped and tuned properly if possible
  3. i go to large coin laundrymats and put them in their washers and take tehm home to dry cleans all the dirt and sand right out
  4. i'll try both but i already called that number and extension to get a job at tmmc just go to the toyota website and fill out an ap on line
  5. dpeneding on the colour and you can just get it reupholstered in suede or somethign for less than $40
  6. did not know panasonic made oem toyota batteries the toyota ones are about 100 or so for one they work good and the terminals are correct as toyota reverses theirs for some dumb reason amperage cca and ca vary and thestated rates are on a new battery so those numbers are nto goign to be the same after a while of usage which is where oem batteries usually shine as they don;t usually use cheap acid or lead plates so they can withstand more abuse
  7. not really it usually takes 5-10 minutes befroe an alternator will provide a full charge to the battery while powering the car as well after it has used the battery to start to return the charge used
  8. i called and their office is closed on friday must be nice....... 1800-26-lexus is clueless so i left a message with the tmmc cambridge plant tour office to call me back hopefully i will meet you tuesday if they ever get back to me
  9. great thing to have that is why BMW also has it called vanos for their variable intake runner
  10. they cleaned the iacv more than likely by doing a throttle body service unless it was removed to clean thoroughly it probably will reapear in a few weeks or months
  11. might eb carbon build up on the o2 try a motorvac first before replacing anything to start with a clean slate /engine
  12. basically that is what i have i got blank vinyl to make the background and cut to fit then had a shop make the chrome ones in the Lexus script to overlay they work and look nice i used flat black to offset the chrome better, am very happy with the flat black over gloss backing cost was about $20 so their $12 is not bad although it is not very expensive to get cut vinyl any sign maker can make then for you locally that cap in the picture is 2.5 inches? it look alot smaller more like a 1.5 the smallest emblems are probably the ES 300 92-96 ones in their center cap i would have tried them but mine are gold and i didn;t want that anymore, actually i have some chrome ones now that i rememebr mabe i will make a new project later on.
  13. flush not drain it is a waste to do half the job
  14. actually here is one but not perfectly clear
  15. I got some chrome vinyl "L"s and used black vinyl as a background and now i get people asking me which lexus did they come from sorry i tried looking for pics of them close up but can;t find any.
  16. you need to find exactly what you need one mount is $50 the other is a few hundred
  17. nope they don't carry them you can get them from this site in the merchandise section
  18. it depends on why the clear is flaking if it is beacues of a bad repaint then it can be removed ,once it is done evely with wetsanding if it is because of brake fluid or bird crap then you have to grind back to bare metal before reapplying anything
  19. is this the blue on one side and white on the other? if so i lie them for my first micorfibre towels also
  20. glad you got it in i think you have a JDM mic mount instead of a NAM one for left hand drivers
  21. common if you had searched you might have found it but you need a new battery and it will be fixed
  22. it sounds liek you have had some work in the armrest area done i know on mine the srs ecu is under their amyeb it was replaced? which would require the heated seat switches to be disconnected and they basically plug into either side switch easily ,so it is an easy mixup not a real wiring problem
  23. agreed change the dogbone and if needed the hydralic strut up fron and that should be all that is needed
  24. nope ,not yet who did you email at lexus how did you hear of it? where did you gt the email i called and of course they have no clue i will be calling the plant tommorow for more info maybe i will see you their unless you can bring someone ? :)
  25. your alternator is not working properly for a 13 year old car in canada i would replace the battery wires and alternator wires first then see if you have/had the ps pump leak to contribute to it going bad
