    DIY transmission “poor man’s” ATF flush - writeup?

    I just did mine a few weeks ago. It was really straight forward and I normally screw up small tasks. If you pop the hood and look down between bumper and radiator/condenser, you will see two black trans fluid hoses. I disconnected the return line that is making its way back to the trans. Used...

    Stripped oil pan drain plug

    I suspect mine (2003 lx) also at some point had a similar issue. I tried to install a fumoto valve and realized the threads wouldn’t work. It seems like it had a helicoil installed at some point. I would love to change out the pan to fix it, but as mentioned above…it’s no small task. I only do...

    Leather Upholstery DIY restoration results

    I used the same product. I will note, after filling pretty extensively with the crack filler, I am getting some of the larger cracks starting to come back through. Still WAAAAY better than before, but this isn't magic.

    Impex is LEGIT 4 new AHC globes. Door To Door from Japan, less than 2 weeks

    I just got a set of globes from them last week. I paid the estimated shipping up front, but then they came back and needed a few $ more (~6$) for actual shipping once it was ready to mail. So I think the final shipping rate can vary from what is quoted up front. I assume you would be reimbursed...

    Would you be scared? Underbody coating on '02 LX470

    You’ll probably get much better advice with some pics so the members can see what it looks like. I’m in Utah, so I coat all my vehicles in Surface Shield every year. Stays wet vs the hard coatings. I have heard some issues with the permanent barrier types with getting salt/water/rust under and...

    Sources for AHC Accumulator Globes

    Anyone recently purchase globes from Impex and pay any tariffs? Thinking about placing an order but worried about what the final cost might be.

    Fixed passenger side door rattle. Plastic came unglued

    Had this annoying rattle from the passenger door since recent purchase. Noticed the passenger side door handle very loose (connection of handle to vehicle). Removed inside door panel to find both a very loose bolt (left bolt holding handle) that I added some locktite and also this odd piece of...

    Seat restoration results (seat doctor )

    No clue. I did have some adhesion issues because I think I left too much residual leather protector behind. Next time I would have got a scrub brush and really went to town on them. I just added two more coats of “top coat” which I was told by seatdoctor would be overkill. But over doing things...

    Seat restoration results (seat doctor )

    Just spent two days working on my front two seats. Got the dye from seatdoctor.com based on results someone else posted earlier. Steps I did: 1. Wash seats down with leather cleaner. 2. Wash seats down with simple green (10:1 diluted) 3. Sand down major problem areas with 600 grit sanding...

    ABS & Brake failure: 2007 LX470 230k miles need advice

    ill let the pros chime in. But from what I’ve been reading, seems most recommend replacing the whole unit given criticality of its function as well as other parts going bad after single pieces are changed out. Again, just from my limited reading on the issue.
