new big400

My front bumper isnt that bad so I might repair it and add a lip.Also I got an est. today for 800 so Im getting closer.Where can I find some good looking front lips?There is a greddy one on ebay from time to time but I cant find it anywhere else.

They will have a 38mm offset and be 19x9.The reason Im wanting to go so wide is Im going to be installing a 2800 convertor and a 3;76 ring and pinion so im sure Ill need all the trac I can get.Thanks for any help.

This is pretty sad after owning my car for nearly 5 yrs.I dont know this.Today while sitting in my car with the key out of the ignition I noticed the steering wheel didnt lock.It doesnt turn freely it just doesnt have a set stopping point like a domestic does.It will turn about an eigth of a turn and then you cant turn it not because it is stopped but due to resistance.I thought I remembered it locking.Would someone mind checking theyres for me?Thanks By the way a 98 gs4

No they dont "break alot" and they come with plenty of options.These cars new cost in the low to mid 30s so when your talkin about a 5-8yr old moldel of course theyre going to seem cheap.Look at most $30k that are 5-8yrs. old and you will find the es holds it value pretty good.Also a body style change usually makes the prev. models cheaper.

My mistake not a full body kit just a front bumper.

So Im driving to a job interview and a semi in front of me blows a tire. I was surrounded by cars so all I could do was grin and bear it.It tore up my front bumper but my insurance said they would take care of it.I was looking to get a body kit anyway and I have a friend who has a body shop who can do this for me.The highest est. I could get was through the dealer and it was $600.Can I get a decent body kit for around this price?Does anyone have any suggestions?Im looking for something tough but not goddy.

Im going to be putting 19s on my rear and I want to go as wide as poss.It sounds like 275 is it.I have the l tuned suspension will this be a prob.?

I did mine about 2yrs ago and Im getting ready to do them again. :chairshot:

Sounds like this thread should be renamed Love my dads genorisity :whistles:

Dont forget your timing belt at 80k

I ran across this ad on ebay and its for an aristo front licence plate.Im not interested in the plate but the car they show it on has a sweet body kit on it.Does anyone know which this could be? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=42611

Ive had pretty good luck using the tip of a toothpick.I just dip it in the paint wipe off excess and touch it in the chip works great.

I lookes at all connection and there are no obvious signs of damage the connections are clean and look like new.Either I got a weak battery off the shelf or I need a starter.The only reason I think I might have gotten a weak battery is because when it finally cranked it was weak and when I turned on the lights it really brought the engine down but after i let it run for a minute then turned the lights on it was fine.I guess time will tell on the starter Im just going to take it and see.I had aguy tell me he had a 02 tundra that did the same thing and he put it in neutral moved it and it started right up and it ended up being the starter.I just dont see how rolling a car can effect the starter.

Ok so I bought a red top and she still wouldnt start.Im guessing a starter going out but there are a few thing s that dont add up.# yrs ago when the battery went dead the gauges would flash on ond off and it would click constantly when you tried to start it.Now when I found it dead everything light up as like normal and there was just a single click.Everytime I turned the key just a click.So I jumped it and it fired right up so I assumed it was the battery.I went and bought a red top installed it and just a single click everything worked and there was just a single click when you cranked it.So I put it in neutral and moved it back about a foot and turned the key and it tried to crank.It turned a few times then nothing like it had a week battery.So I moved it in neutral a little more and it started It didnt start strong it was kinda week but it started.Surely I didnt get a weak battery off the shelf.And even if I did moving the car should have made no diff. And I dont understand how moving it could effect the starter either.Can anyone make any sense of this?

The red top comes with a longer warranty doesnt it?

Black can be pretty unforgiving.I have tan on my 98 with 100k miles and it looks like new.I think the grey lexus interior is the nicest grey you can get.I love a 1st gen gs with grey leather.

Thanks Yo

Well Im checking around and here is what Ive found.A guy at batteries.com said there was no red top for my app.A guy at batteriesareus.com said a needed a #800s battery and a bru11 height adapter.The battery was 124 and the adapter was 12.00.I discussed a reversed terminal with him and he said my car didnt call for one but when I said my positive was on the right he said maybe I should get one.So I guess my question is do i need an rev. or not and do I need this height adapter Id pay $12 if its going to look cleaner.

It doesnt I told them to take their 87 and shove it.

I need a new battery so Im going to buy a red top where can i get a good price on one?What is a good price on one and what is too much?Im dead in the water so hopefully someone will have one in stock.

My last job gave me a set amout for travel expense and it was pretty good especially because I was driving my Jeep and not my car.Hopefully soon Ill be able to afford another car to use.In the meantime Ill try to figure out a way to manipulate the system.I might just have to foot the gas for awhile.There is no way Ill ever put anything but premo in my girl.I wasnt that hip on the boosters and id rather not be running in every tank.

I use to own a Jeep I used for a similar job but my ex took it along with my house,boat,dog well just about everything.Anyway Im planning on buying something for this as soon as the paychecks start rolling in.They do pay maintenance tires,tranny flush,oil changes etc. But who knows thell prob. try to give me continental tires and Walmart brand oil!Hopefully this will be extremely short term until I can buy something else.Im going to try to work something out with the station where I can pay the difference but who knows.In the meantime if I do use a boost what do you reccomend?Ive used some previoulsly when Id go to the track but I think these only bumped it up 1-2 points.

Well apparently they give you a voucher for so many gallons of regular not a card.Turbo any opinion?

I am starting a new job and I will be driving my car alot.The company pays for gas but only for 87 octane.My car has 100k and Ive only run premium Ive read all the post on gas and the different results.This company will not negotiate on this at all.Any advice?Ive thought about octane boosters but I hate to run this in every tank of gas and Im not sure I believe in boosters that much.What do you guys think?Could there be any damage if I were to run boosters in every tank? P.S. I was told that the president of the company figures if it is good enough for his Jaguar its good enough for all cars.Maybe if he had a Lex he would be a little more passionate about what he put in it.

I thinks its common courtesy that while riding in someones car you not be using the controls anyway.Who needs help turning on their windshield wipers anyway?A passenger should have control of their seat warmer and maybe their own climate control and thats it.
