Wow all this talk about inside tire wear and nothing about camber? I just bought some new Pirelli tires because mine had major wear on the inside on all 4 tires. My car was aligned the best it could but the main problem is CAMBER. Since my car is lowered the correct camber cannot be reached without a camber kit. Currently the camber on the two front tires is -1.0 degrees where it should be between -.8 and .2 degrees. Without a proper camber kit my car will get major wear on the inside of the tires. PS: I am looking for a camber kit for front and back tires for the '01 GS430. lol

I just had a new system installed. The guy at cartoys had a heck of a time trying to get the stock amp working with my deck. He tried a 20 dollar then a 200 dollar interface unit and still couldn't get it to work. I ended up replacing all my factory speakers with focals and got a 4 channel amp. I had him install dynamat while he was in there. All because I couldn't get the factory amp working. Sounds nice!! Kinda expensive.. All in all it was worth it.

How many miles on your car? How long have you been experiencing the light? I'm not sure what all can be damaged by not replacing this immediately but I was under the impression that it was only needed to pass emissions etc. I know these things can be very expensive though. He said you need 2? It looks like the car has 2 oxygen sensors so thats what the code might be showing. I know this doesn't help but my 2001 GS 430's check engine light is on as well. It will appear periodically because I have a 2800 rpm performance torque-converter. Does the light ever turn off? Someone help this guy! I would be interested too. :)

I have a 2001 GS 430. My governor Sucks too!!! I have a number of suspension mods and great tires only to find out I'm limited at: 125mph!!! It is really hard to believe it is set this low. I was expecting/hoping to go a good 140+ the other night when I opened 'er up. Big Bessy was bought new in Texas so it probably didn't come with snow tires as one member suggested why he was limited differently. The car felt amazingly smooth at 125. No subtle shakes like I get at 65-70. On the contrary Years ago I took my honda accord to the same governed speed. That governor was probably set too high lol. When I hit 125 on a bright sunny day the governor engaged and I was thrown forward like someone had just slammed on the brakes. Talk about unsafe! I am reading other people have a 2001 GS as well but with different g ratings. Perhaps I was only able to hit 125 because it was night? haha The car is pretty smart but is it that smart?
