Smog was done today at my friends shop. Passed with flying colors. Didn't fail the Hydrocarbons portion of the test which is common with the v6 Camry and 2ES's from what I've been told

 

New fuel door spring, and a new gas cap. I am hoping that it was the 11 year old gas cap that was causing the P0440 evap control system code to show up after the CEL light came on. So far, no CEL

 

followed my gps directions, and ended up driving in queens five hours on the road..traffic included ofcourse. good thing I got a haircut, so the whole day wasn't a waste

 

Got my baby up to 100,000 km even... they grow up so fast!

 

Car wash and clean and condition my rear seats. got too tired and will do front tomorrow..haha

 

I put Iridium NGK 's in but my gas mileage seems to be worse than with the regular Denso plugs PMO at $3.33 a gal.

 

I had all 4 of the AVS struts on my '03 ES300 replaced with KYB-GR2 struts, 2 new tires on the front and full alignment. The car runs better now than when it was new (81000 miles ago).

 

i waxed her up today with some Zymol the stores were closed it was sunny and 72 what better way to spend christmas

 

finished cleaning up front leather seats...never realized how dirty my *** were....

 

i drove mine almost 100m today, lol. good to have her out, haven't drove it in a while

 

followed sanitation trucks in this crazy snow! maddd fun!

 

snow and 25 in Michigan. Oil change at the Lexus dealer.

 

Well didn't do all of this today... but to date:

Installed aftermarket radio
-
-Tints

-New Wheels and tires in April... disappointed with finished product, looks good, but nothing to write home about.

-Installed 00-01 taillights 5 years ago... looks great, except that now I have a reduntant "ES300" on the right side. Maybe I'll balance it off by putting the ICHTYOS symbol I've been saving the past 5 yrs on the left tailight.

-Restored headlampl lens two weeks ago using 3M kit... little bit back breaking, but very rewarding result.

-HID 600K bulbs (with ballasts) in April

-Blue LED turn signals (hyperblinking to be corrected with resistors as soon as it gets warm)

-Yellow foglights... but inoperational right now, I suspect a fuse issue.

-Amp and new Sub in trunk.

That's about it.


Badly in need of a new paint job... in time.

 

Yesterday I did a tire rotation. Rotated back tires to the front and did an oil change all in my home with the help of my dad.

Currently I have all season good year tires on the front and some other line of good year in the back. Does this make a difference in driving?

 

Replaced the headlight bulb on the passenger side.
