  1. Most places where it snows alot use sand instead of salt for the added traction and reduced cost . I have no real rust on my 98 but i also rust proof it ever year since i bought it.
  2. On your 1mz fe the power steering pump double as the hydraulic fan pump. It is located at the back of the engine on the passenger side almost against the firewall , Sounds like you know what to do know . Plug it back it and it should activate the solenoid again.
  3. It sounds like there is a vacuum leak causing the a/c system to think the engine is under load .This is causing the a/c to stop blowing because the idle has lowered once hot . Or it may be your low on refrigerant and unless the rpms are high enough it wont pressurize the system.
  4. I have birds eye and it looks cool but the good ol 2 d is the only way i use mine if i want to figure out where i am .
  5. This is going to sound dumb but the front looks like 20 and the rears like 18's. The special wheel nuts are because they take a drill and open the bolt holes up. So these nuts have wider sides to try and fill the space up better. I am sure if you contacted Brabus direct they would make a custom set that would fit proper. As having redrilled wheels can lead to studs breaking more than having a spacer .
  6. Sounds like they replaced the bushings and screwed up getting the drive shaft and diff back into proper alignment . By having it off center it caused a vibration and caused the ends to wear which is why it cannot be rebalanced.

    Defiantly is a Camry, It may even look more like the Indonesian version. It would fight its owns sales for the IS350 and this is the only conclusion i can come up with and that is still weak.
  8. I say get the ES350 instead ,only because i would be jealous.
  9. Is there not a black rubber plunger on the b pillar for the sensor?
  10. Buy the aftermarket brabus replicas for a much cheaper cost and ti will fit properly not kind of.
  11. The bolt patterns are different , they can be redrilled but is not the best way. The bore for the brabus wheels is important as they may not be set for a mercedes and have a universal one.
  12. To say it is ugly is an understatment , the gold photo shop is no better says chrysler pacifica and MB R class all over them.
  13. They fit fine ,already done 6 years ago. The differences are the 95-96 has the es300 script on the trunk instead of the right lights . The bulb set up is different and will show a lower resistance for bulb failure on your dash since it does not have an upper bulb , only 2 lower on the newer ones.
  14. The valve closes back and seizes closed again. remove it to properly clean it.,
  15. I know it uses some of the bushings but the rest is not known for length ,the shocks are swappable but the heights are different.
  16. It can happen when you get springs that might click together and make a small clicking noise going over bumps. See if they have the small rubber stops on the actual coils to suppress the noise.
  17. LOL You should have let me know it would have been nice to share some wine and a Cuban ! LOL
  18. Here are some more. Will try and do a vid this long weekend.
  19. You can buy a small zone purifier for the car and leave it running over night. Use Mr.clean magic eraser to clean the interior to brand new and then use an A/C mould remover to get rid of the smell from the hvac which always makes it smell.
  20. Well i installed my 5 gallon flat black tank , 380 chrome vair compressor ,1/4 inch lines ,water trap and digital display this weekend. Right now i just dropped off the car at a local air suspension shop to build the shocks as i have no expertise in that department. It all fit in the trunk as my gas tank is located between my rear shock and has a large enough opening above it to fit the air tank as i no longer have a sub woofer to block it on the parcel shelf. If you own an LS400 this is the perfect spot to not loose any room. Hopefully i should get the car back by Thursday. I dropped my old oem shocks off at the shop last week to use as templates to save time in making the mounts without having to have the car. but they never did anything until today. I got my car back and it really tucks the back wheels and hides almost half of it when laid out. It will drop even more when i put back my stock wheels for winter.
  21. I would also continue the thread in the one already started as all the pros and cons are already listed. Then you can make a well defined decision of its benefits and if they are enough for you.
  22. Get a used key from ebay and you can use the tutorial on this site to program the keys.
  23. add some green slime to find and fix the leak.
