  1. I'll pay for the removal labor of the actuators. Must be in working condition. Looking for Front Passenger and rear left door but will take what ever I can get. Thank You
  2. Pretty normal range, If you put the metal key on your chin and activate you can just about double the range...Strange but true, Your Jaw serves as an antena .....I don't know whether to laugh, or to be amazed . I shall try this today!!!!!
  3. cduluk, I wish I could of gone with a 430 BUT at the time given with the situation I was in, I couldn't wait longer to search for a 430 that was of a decent condition and mileage here in NY. I landed with a sports edition, black with black trim and a ML package with navi and the chromed rims with the stock hids etc etc lol. And I was happy with the price I was able to work it down to and I also like the inline 6. GS300dude, your advice sounded like it came right out of a fast and furious movie lol. If I could of gone with the 400 or 430 I would. I do have plans of turning my little I6 baby into a supercharged monster that blows the doors off of most imports that I have running around here in NewYork, but until then, I'm looking for as much modifications as possible to squeeze all the quickness I can out of my princess. Is there anything out there that will do this for me? L-tuned parts? Pixie dust? Additional: I just did a quick search and stumbled across something on Club Lexus as well as http://l-tunedparts.com. I will need some knowledge on this as well for emissions BUT wouldn't adding a better B and Y pipe increase my HP because of less restriction of my exhaust flow. I think thats the most I can do to get all the HP and TQ out of my car before I start reducing weight like a madman. If the answer is yes to the above question, my second question is, will I be able to pass emissions with this modication? The things I do for speed Thanks Guys Scratch the question about HP..lol of course it will add some hp...but on to emissions... I take it I will probably be losing my first 2 CC if I add headers, but will I be losing an CC when I add the B & Y pipe? And how does a light weight crank pulley sound? Any recommendations on one that is tested to work for a N/A set up? I'm adding a rocket on the roof for extra HP at a push of the "RED" button. Sorry for all the edits
  4. I know about the SRT Intake and I'll willing to invest about $500 right now into the car's performance if I will be able to feel some sort of gains from it before being forced to use forced induction. I read through some threads and came to the conclusion that a muffler system will not provide any gains if i'm not going turbo. So now I'm asking you fellas if there is anything else I can do, along side an SRT Intake that is within $500, give or take $200 to have my inline 6 as quick as it can be. The main reason for this too is because I want to race a BMW 330i 6speed and I want to be able to do some damage. What are your thoughts?
  5. I recently had a maintenance done at my local mechanic shop owned by my uncle. He use to work for a Toyota service shop here in NY and also employees another head mechanic from Toyota that comes every afternoon. He informed me there was nothing wrong in flushing the tranny fluid. But i guess its also better to be safe than sorry by draining a little and filling it up. Either way, the results should be the same if done with care.
  6. Glad to hear you resolved the problem. I had/have the same problem with my hood latch sticking. For the first few months I would avoid opening my hood at all cost. For my car it was the cable strecthing but now that I have located it to the right of the latch all you have to do is give it a tug and the latch releases....if that helps anyone w. that problem. You say to the right of the latch? Do you mean where the hood clamps on to the chasis when you lower the hood? If so then thats the same issue I have and when I took it to my uncles mechanic shop today to see what the check engine light was about, he should me how to close my hood when the cable sticks. Apparently you need something very skinny and you push down on the cable which is to the right of the latch and you actually hear the cable snap back into place. Its a pain but coming from a Honda, I have spare tools in my trunk to achieve this :whistles: And the check engine light was for the #2 Catalytic converter... great
  7. stcist2 was correct. The brake fluid was low. I had them level it off and so far it is fine. I didn't want to check myself because I have a faulty hood latch cable which sticks every now an then. This problem solved... Thanks for all the responses fella's
  8. This happens sometimes. Its the same light that indicates my E-Brake is active and this only comes on if I break VERY hard and suddenly for a 2-3 second time span. The light doesn't blink or anything and after I come to a stop or I let go of the brakes the light goes away after another 2-3 seconds.. Is this something to do with my brake pads? I don't think its OEM pads but I know the rotor's are. I had them changed a week before thanks giving. Any thoughts fella's?
  9. They start going around 70K but then again, it all depends on how the person drives, or where the person lives. For instance, i'm in NY and we have many pot holes. I also have the sports edition so the extra drop of the .5 of an inch might make it worse. What I noticed with dealers, especially my dealer, is that they will rather replace the ENTIRE part instead of the one bushing and tell you that part needs to be replaced. Make sure you get a list of the parts cost and also the labor rate for it. You might find it better to by your own bushings for about 100-200 dollars and taking it to a local mechanic to have it done. Plus if your replacing your bushings, you might want to look into Daizen bushings which is made out of polyurethane. Its made out of a different material from the OEM part which last's longer.
  10. thats sick. looks like a lot of wrench time is needed to make that converison. I think it might grow on me....
  11. You can have a problem like I did where the car lost all programming of the remote so it will not recognize it for its features. I found out when I took it to the dealership after having it programed 4 months prior by an independant.
  12. a four door luxury car against a 2 door sports car??? wow nice...... that was actually a 4 door G35. And I agree with Duckman. I drove the G35 2 door, 4 door, and G37 4 door (as well as the FX45) and the ride comfort is nothing like the GS, even tho it may be a tiny bit faster. Plus everyone an there mother has a Infinity now-a-days.
  13. Guess I got a lemon :o haha Well my girl has a 04 Rx330 and she has her leather seats covered with seat covers since she got the car in 05. I think its pretty !Removed! for the fact that the covers do not have sleeves for the arm rest for the front seats so the arm rest's CAN"T be used <_<. Thats a pain for me since I'm always driving but thats neither here or there. When I took her car to get detailed, I took the covers off and to my surprise, her seats looked BRAND NEW. I mean there was a little discoloring due to the seat covers but nothing other than that. So if all else fails, you can get some nice seat covers with pink flames on it from Pepboys B) I will check out your site but what is better to use on a "here and there" basis other than Armorall. I used it once and it made my seat's look like an oily 13yr-olds face :(
  14. im not mad... nor was i.... if you read it closley i was told to grow up and i was taking defence for myself. i wasnt mad i was explaining a point.. that come out of knowhere and i never said anyone on here has a problem with me.?.?.. and ya i know people on here are helpfull. thats why i made a post. and starting over is exatcly what i want to happen. i wanted this to stop along time ago but i got slammed on for being 16 and then everyone starts trying to play my dad. im doing just fine without one. i dont need someone to take that role i know my right from wrongs.. i may be one of the youngest on this forum but that doesnt mean i can't be right. i said sorry and i said i was sorry if i offended anyone. and i explained my reason for saying what i said but my reason and a apology wasn't good enough obviously. thats why i was lectured even more, and had people accuse me of being mad. but its w/e i know i didnt do anything that bad. i made a mistake and i apologized. even tho what was said wasn't directed twards anyone and was said to show someone that i appreciated what they did for me. again, sorry everyone for the inconvenice everyone. and you wont have to worry bout me saying anything stupid anymore cause i just found out i got a transmission problem, with the tss or something. and i have no clue whats going on but my uncle said the trasmission fluid is brown and needs to be flushed and he's worried it might not start after that. so in the end if i need a new trasmission and me not being able to find a job, who knows the next time i'll be back on here. peace. If it makes any difference to you, I understood what you said when you first complemented 1990LS400. What I took from your statement (if this will help clarify for anyone else) is that you were grateful for the helpful and willing personality of Sir 1990LS400. Its apparent he's helped you on a number of issues and you were just praising him on what he is, and what he's not. You weren't pointing fingers at anyone but of course, just like in any other media, people might take things out of context or just have their own opinion on what you meant (and I didn't mean to offend anyone by this statement because as far as I know, everyone on this forum are all "aces in my book" ;) ). But since everyone is ready to bury this, you shouldn't feel any way towards anyone else. As far as your tranny fluid, that doesn't sound good. I too have to flush mine out tomorrow as well as get an oil change AND get new bushings. "It ain't tricking if you got it"
  15. dude get some after market projectial HID headlights.....make your car unique...... plus they are cheaper.... ebay.com is the best place I dont think they made those for the 96 model.
  16. No insult to anyone, but reading this just helped me pass some time here at work so thanks for the moments fellas!! lol one big happy family again. Now its back to work <_<
  17. Not sure if you were looking for an OEM part, new or used but I did a search on Sewell and found you the price and part number. Heres the link --> 96 Head Light Hope that helps!
  18. If i'm not mistaken, it sounds like the bushings in your rear suspension is going bad. Check for daizen bushings. You can look here -->Daizen Bushings Some say polyurethane is the best way to go rather tham OEM. I need to change my front bushings too. I get vibration at high speeds and my car mileage is around that age to get this kinda problem. Hope this helps!
  19. Congrats on the new whip. I would love to upgrade my 300 to a 400 or a 430 BUT i like having THE only GS like mine in Queens so far. I would love to know how it feels to have a 400(power difference wise). Again, hats off to you to get a car like that a 16. Congrats!!
  20. I second this DIY. I also have the same issue with my trunk. it doesn't stay up. I would love to replace this myself as well!!
