I will be doing this soon has anyone done a tranny and oil cooler?Any opinions?

I recently did this on my 98 Gs 4.I rebuilt my starter and I think the whole thing cost around 200-250.The gaskets were most of the cost.I took mine off peice by peice but a tech I talked to said you could unbolt the lower intake and take it off as one peice.Since I have higher mileage I took it all down and cleaned the upper and the throttle body while it was opened up and the performance increase I got was incredible.It felt stronger than any mod. I have done.Anyway this can be done very affordably if you dont get raped on the gaskets.

Guyt how do u know so much about the electrical on these cars?Do you work on them or something?

How many miles?I have the same prob. doesnt sound like its quite as bad though.I think mine is the tensioner pulley.

I have never put anything down on a car loan.typically every 1k you put down it lowers your payment 20 bucks a month.This would be the case on a 48-60 mo. loan not on a 72.This means if you put 5k youre payment would be $100 a month cheaper on a 60 mo. loan.Id personally rather keep the 5k and pay $100 more a mo.If youre buying used get a good deal,Dont put anything down and go with a shorter length loan and youll be fine.Id steer clear of a 72 mo. loan Thats a long time to finance a new car let alone a used car Thats where youll get into probs.Such as having to put money down,higher interest rates,neg equity.Thats my 2 cents and if you do decide to bite the bullet and bury yourself buy gap insurance.

Sell the 430 and get a 400 with push button!There is no manual for a 430 or 400.You could try contacting Toyota to see if they will develop one for you. Forget the manual its not gonna happen,unless you have endless resources and then it still wont happen.

I have 110k on my 98 gs. I am going to be having it alligned soon and im sure it will be needing ball joints.At least lower.Are the uppers something to consider changing I havent checked yet to verify but my dealer tells me they are built in the control arm and you have to replace the whole thing.Is this true?Also are there any bushings I should think about changing while its all opened up?Thanks

Worth every penny.

Not sure. Hane you had any problems with youre powerslots warping or shaking?

That's just regular rotors, I got powerslot rotors for the front of the GS400 which cost me $275. I wanted the back rotors, but not regular. Thanks ← Regular rotors?I saw drilled brembos.

I am looking for a set of real Brembos for my Gs.The problem I am having is everyone claims there rotors are brembos.It seems like brembo has become a very generic name for drilled rotors Ive seen 50 different kinds of rotors all claiming to be brembos.When I bought this car I bought a set of what I believed to be drilled and slotted brembos,but now I doubt there authenticity.Ive had tons of probs. with these rotors shaking like theyre warped but theyre not.I think it could be a rotor balancing issue.Regardless they suck and I would like to know where to get the best deal on authentic brembos.Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know of a credible shop who could put this together?

Has anyone removed this switch that can give some advice?

I cant imagine there is much too it but Ive never dont this any tips would be appreciated.

this is just a carrier not a 3;76 ring and pinion.I have this carrier an Im going to try to use a 3;76 supra ring and pinion in my rear end.Not sure if it will work but they are thw same differential and same size ring some Im willing to gamble they will.Im thinking this is where they get the 3;76 ratio if you buy the whole differential.Any opinions?

Thats strange I work at a dealer and we dont require the customer to pay and be reimbursed.Is this a lexus store?

I have a 2nd gen 400 and Ive noticed my pwr/snow button doesnt light up or my heated seat switches.The orange lights on my heated seats will come on when I turn them on but the pic if the seat doesnt light.My trac switch does light up and I thought I remembered these others also lighting up. Would someone mind checking theirs?Thanks

Just went through it.Sounds like my starter prob.This is not your average starter either its under the intake manifold.

I bought mine from advanced auto for 109.

Wasnt trying to add a neg. tone was asked to explain why I didny like them so I did.Everyone has diff.taste and theyre just not for me.If you like them go for them Im sure Ive done some mods others wouldnt like.

Instant on?My taillights are bright enough.LEDs might be the a preferred lighting of the future but for styling it looks cheap.LED tailights are for 16 year olds who spend too much time at autozone!

R u kidding? 18s all the way 22s would be ridicoulous.Do u plan on driving this car??????????

Not a single prob. with my 400.
