My level never changed in the res with the old cap. Using the a/c did result in better fuel mileage but not as good since the changes made.

No the key has to be inserted to open the windows. It always wants a physical connection to the car to close but open can be done from the remote.

What are you looking to find out?

This is all on my 98 . Change your rad cap to a new one and flush your power steering. Simple enough , so here is the reasoning. By getting a new rad cap it will lower the temps by increasing the pressure. How does this help , it will cause the clutch on the fan from engaging as much. This reduces the load on the engine as well as gas consumption. How to test yours? Run the car for a few hours so it is nice and hot ,once it has cooled remove the rad cap from the over flow tank and listen for the release of pressure. if you do not hear it the seal on the cap is dead and needs to be replace for $20. time 10 seconds If your have not changed your PS fluid lately and it is dark ,you should change it as it is causing excess load on the engine. I flushed mine with 2 liters of Mobil 1 synthetic tranny fluid. As soon as i was done it got really quiet and my fuel consumption has gotten much better. I went from 12.4L/100km to 8.8L/100km . Old dirty fluid is harder to push through the pump as well as the lines and rack will be dirty as well causing restrictions. The new tranny fluid has great properties of cleaning and has since cleaned my dip stick and interior of the PS res to a shine. Once the restrictions are gone it makes the pump push less and reduces the load again ,it also makes it very quiet. Total cost $20 Time 30 minutes tools/material, pliers to loosen clamps ,a black sharpie to block the return line on the side of the reservoir ,a hose to fit to the lower line (smaller of the 2 hoses from the res is the return)to a old washer fluid jug . It works best with 2 people one to start the car and one to pour to keep it full. Do it once and then do it again in 2 weeks once the new fluid has cleaned up the rack and lines. Make sense , now get out there and save some money and bring back that LS feeling all over again. My car is so damn quiet again, it is really unbelievable.

The original intent was in the 500 hp range from early releases but they dropped the official power rating severely. Too bad it should make 600 real easy.

year and offset is important info to understand

Buy carpet paint from an auto parts store and paint them black again.

look for the switch by the shifter

Change your rad and make sure you did not loose your tranny fluid. the 97 is not the same engine ,it has VVT

I am trying to understand your post bplaney? Why would you need to access it? It needs no maintenance .

All depends on the size and style of the wheels and tires you are going to run .

not is North America. Japan has one but not released. There is a toms supercharger though.

All Lexus models have always had heated seat options .In Canada it was standard but everywhere else it was an option when sold new.

Contact Steff at d2autosport. He can get you what you need at the right price with no worries ,tell him i sent yah.

obd is the protocol all cars have the same plug and use the same error codes that are retrieved by the same readers. Only difference is that some will show actual sensor readings .

first clip is here ,you notice it is louder at start up and then on the second clip you can hear the people talking which is drownding out it exhaust. It get very queit after running for 4 minutes.

The shocks he has are not the normal ones as they are adjustable , I think it has a damper adjustment attachment on the top of each shock tower. You would need another adjustable shock. I am not sure if kyb made your type of strut.

Here are the pics , i know everyone wants audio , i have 2 vids but they suck.

Your passenger headlight is also full of water ,so you will need a new one as well.

I think it sounds great but i would have left the rest of the exhaust after the cat open. It raises the internal temp much higher but serves a purpose in a engine that does not run all the time. On a high powered car it can cause the tubes to melt when abused to such high temps. on a hybrid it seems fine though

It will drain to the back of the cylinder ,

wd 40 could work but i find it garbage. pb blaster is a catalyst and bubbles to release grime.

check the general maintenance section for miles of info.

very fair

Here the reports are handled by the government so i have always contacted previous owners before purchase to set my mind at ease.
