My 4 yr old broke this switch knob on my 08 back in 2014. He is now looking to “acquire” this 200 as his first car. I told him he can’t have it until he fixes all the broken knobs. This is 1 of 5 broken knobs. Will update how he fixed it.

Send it, or send it to me.

After working with the parts manager to get the parts down to a reasonable price, it ended up being ~$9300 out the door. That included head gaskets, seals, water pump, timing chains, tensioners, guides, and sprocket . The heads were not warped at...

If you are really concerned about this, get a couple of oil analysis done and change your coolant frequently. If the reports never show any water or antifreeze components, keep on truckin. Check your coolant level at least once a week, which I...

I just striped mine as well... I went much more subtle.

OP I suspect Progressive will give you a hard time to hit you low with a value. I'd suggest looking for an appraiser who for a few hundred can substantiate your claim JIC.

Treating injuries at and occasionally cutting the passengers out of car wrecks is a major part of my day job. I won't get into the details of what I've personally seen, but there is absolutely no way I'd put that big chunk of metal so close to my...

wheels and tires look great mismatched front and rear bumper paint looks ghetto

Oh thanks so much. Do you know if the early 200 17 inch rim will clear the 2016+ 200 Series larger brakes?

Is the only Toyota/Lexus 17" wheel that works the Rock Warrior? I think that's a really ugly wheel, just my two cents. What about the early 200 Series wheels? Weren't those 17 inch and the same offset as the later 200 18" rims? Is there any...

This is the 200 section. Not the peasant section :moon:

That’s basically what I did. Cheep angle

Talk to your bodybuilder friend and find out where the gym buys it's weight room mats. I set this up with full panel tuck, and the @Air Down Gear Up sits on top. Very nice. Much robust.

That looks like an F-150 Lightning that hit you. I believe that vehicle weighs more than your 200. I'd be looking for a payout and buy a new to you HE. The comps should only be for HE's, as you know. Sorry about that, man. I'm glad you're okay.

In all honesty, I’m not sure I’d want to have it repaired. There was a large amount of energy transferred under that A-pillar. I’ve seen worse repaired for collectible sports cars - but the repair efforts were beyond meticulous. It’s hard to get...

I switched from a used TT mount on hand to the new SDHQ before I did my installation. Very pleased with the unit, seems to have more stiffness built into it than the TT frame plus has pickup points for the bumper fascia bottom and ends. While...

Your initial numbers, before your "lately" description, are dead on with mine. Just a data point for all of us. I'm in a 1996 US Spec LC. Cheers.

FYI. My 96 has the Denso and the Denso rad runs hotter than TYC by 4-5°.

Also to add to the above, I have seen lots of cracked fan shroud towards the 12 o'clock position and many people. include myself. have been reluctant to replace the shroud with new and many attempt to repair with glue or duct tape as temporary...

Couple more thoughts Amazon lists a Denso radiator for my 1996. I didn't realize that was an option. It's $230 as of now...

My TYC is 9 years old and is holding up great. No complaints. When Tools used to post on here (RIP, Tools) I believe he posted that in the heat of AZ the TYC radiators do a better job cooling than the Koyo. That's old information at this point...

How old / how many miles had the original OEM unit with the plastic top last? Not looking to reignite an ancient debate just interested in your empirical experience. I just ordered a new OEM AL radiator for my 95. Brass unit was available but my...

I'll add more as I dig through my bag of spare parts but this stuff stood out to get started. Add anything you find relevant.

That's prrty. NIce work there. You'll have endless smiles once you start driving it. Good work there.
