I was having this but noticing residue on the overflow bottle. Eventually found the cap was missing the gasket. New cap with gasket and no longer losing coolant. For the OP - 09 LC ~163k miles. All done by POs. Valley plate 132k Water pump 144k Radiator 148k Rear main seal (crank seal) 154k...

Yeah, stock wheels. I plan to have it removed at the next rotation or tire replacement. Whichever comes first.

I recently noticed a noise when turning right at full lock driver's side only. No noise from the passenger's side in either direction and no noise from the driver's if turning left. Jacked her up, had my wife hold the steering wheel at full lock, and tried to replicate the noise via manual...

I bypassed two circuits on my drivers side. One each in two different blocks. Be 100% sure you have the correct wires, cut at back of block, solder and heatshrink new wire to extend. I used connectors on both sides of the extensions just in case, but you might be fine with a direct wire to both...

As a price reference I paid 25k for an 09 about 6 months ago in NC but with 50k less miles and full service history.

Plug the VIN into the Toyota Owners site and see what comes up there. It may have more detail on dealer services than Carfax shows.

Just going off the times posted by the various performance rags - 2016 was 6.8, prior was 6.6. Probably not noticeable, but a difference none the less. Edit - variances of about 2/10 second in with either trans. Some 6.7 on the 2016 and some 6.5 on prior years. I thought the 4.7 was just fine...

If I found another hundy in the same shape as the one I sold, I would certainly give some hard thought to buying it and selling my 200.

The later models with the 8 speed (2016+ I think) are a little slower than the previous years, but still faster than the hundy.

Knew the passenger door 6x9 was blown so I ordered the Powerbass OE-690 DVC woofers along with new basekts (too big for the OEM basket) and wiring adapters. These are dual 4ohm voice coils so you can wire them to present a 2ohm load like the OEM JBL speakers. They are also slightly more...

Empty parking lot today other than a hundy so I parked as close as I could for a photo op.

There are 3 junction blocks in the driver's side kick panel. IIRC it goes through on of those and I have read numerous posts about corrosion due to windshield leaks or sunroof drain leaks, etc. I had a couple of issues there with no continuity on the wire to the driver's door courtesy switch and...

So it ended up being in the EK2 block driver's kick panel. The broken pin was in the EK1 block and for the rear a/c. I wound up pulling both out of the blocks and connecting them separately. Everything works now. Toyota packed things tight in the kick panels.

Noticed the light on my driver's door was out so first I tried replacing the bulb. Then I thought it was the switch so I have checked that and no luck. I started tracing the wiring via diagrams and end up at E59 junction connector. I started pulling connectors on the driver's kick panel and...
