Around 3 weeks ago I took a trip from Dallas to Austin. It was like 104F outside on the 35. Driving 75mph the car eventually stalled when I got off an exit to go get food. Let the car sit on the side of the road for 5 min with hood open, she started back up fine, then drove slowly to restaurant...

For those wondering, I decided to replace the fuel pump first. These are the parts I bought. There was a DENSO part that is similar, reference : 2006-2007 fuel pump denso #950-0210 instead of 23220-50160 -...

I did some more reading, and it looks like for the newer VVTI (2006-2007 LC100 / LX470) models, there is a common symptom of hot stalling problems. It looks to be a weakness in these years. It looks like when the car is moving quickly in a hot environment, the air flow keeps the fuel lines cool...

Hi 100-series wizards, I have just been experiencing (2006 VVTI v8 4.7L), what I believe, is the dreaded EFI relay fuse issue. I have read this quite thoroughly on the ih8mud search and watched youtube videos about replacing the fuse box, even saw a video of one person opening the fuse box and...

So I played with the audio settings a bit and someone recommended to turn off Surround Sound. So I turned it off here: That made a load of difference. Playing different music genres they all sound muffled in Surround 3D. But Off sounds much better and the base hits harder and the frequency...

Been driving my LX700h OT around and I have to say the Mark Levinson audio system is complete crap. My LC200 with the stock sound systems (I think its JBL) sounds way better. And same with my Tacoma with JBL. There just is no bass in the 700h, and it sounds superficial and like its whispering...

Welp I got over my bias for naturally aspirated humongous under stressed engines by buying my first turbo/hybrid engine lando. Only time will tell but I am happy giddy inside like a kid again and I guess thats what matters I think the times have moved on in engineering and we just got to move on

Welp guys.... the dealership salesman got me to buy something I didn't need, but I decided to buy it since it was such a cool car. Going through the paperwork now. Likely tomorrow I get it in my door step. Will do a review and pics over-view once I get more time driving it. I got mine with White...

Anyways… Off to dealer tomorrow, got a decent discount over the phone so going check the vehicle and drive it around before I buy it.

Anyone with the new LX700h can comment how goes the hybrid system when the engine kicks on? Is it really bothersome and loud? Will it get annoying if it keeps stop and go type traffic? I have a LC200 and LC100. Love the engines on both, quiet, powerful, reliable, smooth. Very happy with the two...

love the garage ! Looks like my dream setup The wood look is a nice touch. I should be happy with my 3 car garage albeit quite dirty. But would love a dedicated mechanic tinkering shed one day.

This is why I am glad I fled the bay area California for brighter pastures in Texas… My LCs too thirsty

Thinking of getting the 700h OT... all these posts making me think to pull the trigger. live in Texas. My gas is like $2.5-2.8 a gallon :)

FYI, I was working on this on a newer model, 100-series. It turned out to be grounding issue. My orange turn signal light turns on when I enable the signal in that direction, so that works as intended. However, when the turn signal is left off, and my headlights are turned on, the orange turn...

Cool wheels how did you paint them or you bought them like that?
