What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (53 Viewers)

[Magnetic 111]

I've not heard of this before. How did you know or why do you suspect it was likely to soon break? Just want to know what to watch out for.

Run a search. There's a lot of info about this problem on the site.

I bought them on eBay for $67 including shipping from Japan. They arrived in about 5 days via Japan Post/USPS and the seller, sakuralovejapan, was excellent regarding communication & tracking. They even included a nice note.

There are many listed (just search for the P/N 08522-60010) for various prices and shipping times. I would choose a seller based on recent feedback.

Can you tell us what hz the horns sound? It should be printed or engraved on them.

I'm testing my theory in that the 02 and older 100's have Corolla horns while the 03+have proper horns.

They are labeled “400Hz” and “500Hz”. My window was down and I scared myself yesterday. Many pics and info in this other ‘Mud thread: JDM 200 series Premium Horn install and sound comparison

Mr. T even includes an installation guide full of fun cartoony tips. Tape & Wire’s relationship should be an inspiration to us all.

Never have I ever seen an auto manufacturer use smiley faces in technical writing

Sound Byte please!

Installed HIR2s and greased the driveshafts/ujoints. I may be jaded from having bi-Xenons for years, but I’m not very impressed with the HIR2s. That being said, they are much better than the standard halogen bulb.

Ceramic tint all the way around including windshield and new shoes. Ridge Grapplers 275/65/18 on Granite Alloy GA640 Dark Bronze wheels.

Look great, can you provide more info on what kind of tint this is. Does it match the oem?

Added an ARB front bumper with the fog light kit last week. No winch...yet.

I don’t know the brand but it’s one of the top two ceramic lines. The front I believe is 20 and the back is 35%. They do match in darkness. The factory tint is slightly more bronze and the front is slightly more gray. But it’s not noticeable outside the vehicle and just ever so slightly inside. I had 80% installed on the front windshield. Huge difference with sun and does provide a little more privacy.

Put on an ARB bumper. Like the look - the instructions are the worst I have ever seen.

Plasti dipped the grille...

...and the chrome lettering on the rear.

Changed out the heater T's with some brass. Used Breeze constant tension clamps. New hot hoses. Shouldn't need to change these suckers out for a while!

I also found out about this. Luckily, I was in town when it broke...

Luckily I was parked in my driveway when it happened, and my office was 3 miles away. I couldn't imagine having to deal with that in some of the more remote places I go!

What year is your cruiser? The horns got much better in 2003 and beyond. I had a 99 I switched to hella horns. My 04 is good to go.

'98

I fixed my skid ECU for $0.50 and posted the info here: Fix for ABS, VSC TRAC, VSC OFF, & Brake lights remain on no CEL, or how to repair an ECU

Hello from New York's Hudson Valley. Bought this '04 LC in December with 138,000 miles on it. No rust, interior is in great shape. Finished up the lift this week - OME 285 1.5", Slee diff drop, SPC UCA's, new OEM shocks, BIOR 1.25" wheel spacers and BFG KO2s 265/70/r18. Wish I had 16" wheels, but love the look. A Kavik bullbar bumper is in production.

Got a new key shell in from fastcarkeys on eBay. Worked so well I decided to order two more. I can drop the remotes/transponders from two others I had ordered uncut but couldn't find anyone here that would cut them for me right into them and program them and finally have more than one key. All in all I'm going to have spent $75 replacing my broken key and adding 2 extra keys/remotes. Less than half what I would have paid to get one from Lexus.

I also took off the engine cover to see if I coiuld ID this supposed "dip stick o-ring seep" that Lexus wants $70 to fix. I don't see any leakage, but I definitely need a new filler cap. I also just wanted to see what the engine looked like.

I need to ID the part that holds this trim piece in place (red arrow) and determine if how to fix the plastic piece that that the trim is screwed into that has broken off(yellow/orange arrow). I'm thinking epoxy:

I also fixed my inoperable cargo area 12v power outlet by *drumroll* reconnecting the two-pin connector. Just had to open up the jack storage panel and voila, it was there obviously disconnected.

Thanks to seeing this I checked mine today and just put my order in. At least half of mine was already missing.
