Please keep it civil and productive. thanks Their are 2 sides to ever coin. Backpressure is good and bad as you need some of it to create proper chamber scavaging by using pulses. This also includes why headers are different lengths to adjust for different rpm peaks. The longer they are the higher RPM they are tuned for. No mufflers is to make a smoother transition of gases for a race car. Even race cars run some type of muffler/resonator to keep the drivers head on straight for the entire race. I agree half truths are just as bad as lies. If your not sure ask or read up hopefully from someone who does know. Unfortuanatly there are more people who do not know and pass this on as truth that messes so many people up.

Where did you get the updated disc from.

I agree rotors do warp but are not the blame for pulsing that mechanics throw at them as the failure. Rotors do warp as anyone who has used a lathe to cut them can see as it cut material from one side and misses the other completely . It is alot of old material causing an uneven surface causing the effect which once removed works well.

sounds like the pads are nto seated properly , probably did not add the shims , adhesive, clips or retainers from a driveway brake job. Take it to a proper tech or buy the kit from toyota with all the parts for the brake pad and shims after seeing what is missing.

you need to try a wrecker, try car-parts.com

you need to see an a/c tech to have it leak tested, no diy for it.

You can also solder the end of the sensor that is worn and coat it with a high temp silicone and it will keep working again until the pad wears it out again.

It is your IACV on your throttle body as well as the throttle plate. Easy check is to press the throttle lightly and it runs fine.

Glad it worked, as noted on my replacement thread a few months ago , the mount is easy enough to do but is a drastic change for $50. I also have a 2-3000k rpm oscialtion from the engine . I am not sure what it is yet but it was felt much less with the new mount. Now follow the rest of that thread and change your coolant temp sensor and have a car you never knew you bought or could afford ,it really is an amazing $100.

SHort car with short piping means removing parts will prodcue smaller gains as it is still high velocity on exit. I would look at working on collectors being smoothed out and removing resonators rather than mufflers . The resonators are found to be more hindering than the mufflers as it deals with sound but the resonators deal with cutting down exhaust gas expansion.

I updated the title to be more helpful.

contact dc fish ,he may have them.

Finally someone worthy of posting before and after detailing shots. That is some damn good work on a black car. The clarity and depth is exceptional. Nice car , nice work , great write up. Well done. Nice elcometer btw.

Check carson for prices shipped to a UPS store in WA and pick it up , might be much less. Also the exchange rate might help you a bit. Have you asked you local dealer for a discount ? Lots of OEM toyota struts are KYB's , remember Toyota is a part assembler and designer , all the parts are built by other companies so they can assemble and sell.

Think of a price and put it out there, you might find someone who wants a set.

go to ebay and buy those wire cd's for your RX

bbs are hell of expensive and do not make many styles.

led's are only for marker type lights unless you buy a 100 thousand LS600h with 2000 headlights.

oil costs are $10-15 bulk $3 disposal fee , $12 for the tech .

Just a reminder , we have a meet Thursday night the 14th at Tim Horton's in Mississauga ( West of Mavis / North side of Brittania) across from the Home Depot. See you there.

Having seats with airbags on a car without it will be fine as the ecu has no detection for them. I tried car parts lots but they wat too much which is why i would love to find one local.

You have to rotate the hub until it has an opening behind the stud where you can then hammer it in and it will be able to fall out.

They work fine for me using firefox

I would remove the srt module and compare it as well to se if it is part of the issue as well.

Volatage on all kits are 35w unless it is an special 55w watt kit which are rare. It does scatter the light as the flutes are made for that. Since the candle power is increased and the bulb is in a different location it will cause the light to be emmited brighter and in different postions than before. If you take a regular bulb and move it in a housing it will change the light footprint , just like half the cars with one light aimed in the sky which is usually from them installing a bulb incorrecly and altering the beam pattern. You might THINK it is not glaring but it is . Any 95-97 i have seen just like the previous ls with HID's the light is everywhere , no focus no clarity just everything is brighter from the tree tops to the sidewalks. So i beg to differ just by the basic facts of the bulb position being unable to reprdouce light in the original location. Even my first HID kit Using OEM phillips parts for $1000 i bought in 98 for my ES300 with projectors has glare and it is a focused beam. It does not matter which kit you bought they are all in the same location for light output , glare comes from the lack of a beam cut off , like anything the closer you move the source light to the sheild it will widen the output of light.
