    Best Double Din LX450 (current)

    Hmm, tagged. I am due for an upgrade. I generally go with Pioneer head units, but I have heard good things about Kenwood lately as well (my last Kenwood single DIN was fantastic). Does anyone know if backup camera wiring is generally compatible across units? I have a very old double DIN...

    Two days before leaving for Baja...

    Thanks for the pic! I think it may have been my upper radiator hose - it was swollen and nasty. I replaced the water pump and upper radiator hose, as well as all three belts. No leaks. :) I'll do the t-stat later when I do the PHH, but that can wait a bit. Thanks everyone!

    Two days before leaving for Baja...

    Ohh, that might be it. It was all over the front skidplate, etc. I'll take a look, thanks!! No smoke. I haven't noticed any bubbling in the overflow (haven't checked), but it hasn't been pressurizing the cooling system and venting coolant through the overflow (just seems like a drip from...

    Two days before leaving for Baja...

    Radiator looks great, all hoses look great, soft and pliable. No noticeable wetness on or near hose clamps or hose ends. Heater hoses at the firewall look OK. Where's the heater valve? I'll have to find the PHH as well. I dunno where that is yet, except under the intake manifold somewhere. I...

    Turbo is in!

    Maybe it was more the design and tech in the turbines than it was the bearings, but if you look at my dyno sheets the difference is absurd. :) Oy. Yeah, that's really lean.

    Turbo is in!

    Ohh, yeah..that's an excellent point. No ability to tune for tip-in enrichment. How lean are you seeing and at what boost level before the ECU catches up?

    Two days before leaving for Baja...

    I hadn't yet (I was seeing coolant under the front of the truck - puddle under the water pump area). I just checked it and other than a badly weeping valve cover gasket (mental note), it looks okay. I bought this earlier this year - now that it's beautiful outside instead of 100+, I should...

    Turbo is in!

    +1 I am BOV-less on my MR2 at 362whp/345tq. Heh yeah, around $1600. I have a Garrett GT3071 in my car though and I have to say the difference in spool between that and a journal bearing TD05 20G was just ridiculous. TD05 20G GT3071 That's on 2 liters, not 4.5, but note the power difference...

    Two days before leaving for Baja...

    ...I see coolant under my truck. :( I didn't have time to properly diagnose it because I noticed it on my lunch break (and had to make sure the most likely items to fail would be available tomorrow, not next week), so I ordered a water pump, thermostat, and belts from Toyota. They'll be in at...

    Turbo is in!

    Tubular exhaust manifolds don't generally have a good reputation (at least in the MR2 world). I would stay with cast myself. I am really tempted to do this with my truck, but at 211k I'm a little bit leery.

    Looking for replacement leather options for my 96 LX450

    The Lexus seats are different than the Toyota seats. :(

    Looking for replacement leather options for my 96 LX450

    Wow, that is really, really cheap. Are you using them? Any thoughts on foam? Mine's pretty wrecked.

    No "D" Club

    No "D" when I bought mine at 206k. I'm debating on whether I want to fix it or not.

    What kind of battery do you use?

    Mine had an Optima Yellow Top in it when I bought it 5-6 months ago. I haven't had any problems with it.

    Highway Speed Shake When Braking

    I imagine a front rotor R&R at a dealership is going to cost you more than $168 in labor.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Not on the weekend, but I extended my keyless entry antenna and cleaned up a sunroof drain yesterday. My keyless entry is actually useful now! :D

    MAX miles without HG

    I'm at 210k and climbing; as far as I know it's original.

    LX450 Keyless Entry- Proximity to vehicle issue

    Oooooh. I need to do that -- I have to be within a few feet of the driver's door for it to work.
