Bump, I need these gone

Yeah I think that's one way to recreate the symptoms, but the other cause is what I had, which is just a failure of the servo. Over time the servo motor wears outing/or the little tracks it moves on gets dirty, so the ECU doesn't know its position when you start the car and therefore can't...

I picked up a 2006 LX 2 weeks ago, and it had a pretty bad sub rattle. Oddly enough, the previous owner had the whole sub replaced at Lexus for almost $1000 parts+labor just 3 years ago. I bought the foam repair kit, took the sub apart, and it looked just fine. I actually had to fight the foam...

Update: it was not normal, I glued the stupid ****in foam on top of the stupid ****in enclosure ring that has to home off. The foam goes between the enclosure and the enclosure ring Anyway, I put everything back together today and got somewhat positive results. It didn’t totally fix my...

I’m doing my subwoofer repair right now, I noticed the old foam sat kind of *in* the subwoofer housing, but the replacement phone was a little bit bigger so it’s going to sit *on* the housing Is that normal? This got very messy very fast

Great truck here for a great price, ready for a new home!

Yep I’ll be doing all 4 at the same time. Is replacing the globes really as easy as it looks (according to YouTube videos)? It looks like it’s basically a fluid flush, but with 1 extra step, being twisting the spent globes off and outing the new ones on before starting the truck and refilling...

I’ll replace the globes soon ish. I’ll get them from impex in Japan and deal with the long delivery times to save $300 a piece

The reason I say starting to go is because I heard that when globes go the ride quality really suffers and gets super bouncy, but I’m not having that experience. I’m not having issues with the car settling low after sitting for a while either. I just got this LX last week, before it I had a...

I went out this morning and took gradation measurements on the new fluid. Everything was cold, I haven’t driven since last night. First thing I noticed was that the fluid level at N is about a notch below the MIN line. Yesterday after the flush, the level at N was slightly over the MIN. I...

I did the PADDO AHC flush today, it went great! Took me maybe 45 mins from start to finish. Some notes/questions: My initial pull from the reservoir was right at 1L, as expected. However, I pulled a bit more than 1.5L from the 3 bleeding points on the drivers side. I probably should’ve...

Zombie thread, how has the simply speaker kit held up since?

Where are you in Texas? I’m in fort worth and very interested
