welcome to the 1GS fam!!

as to clubs, there is the NELOC (northeast lexus owners club) forum here on CL. If you don't want to do club involvement though, the NE (northeast) forum is a good place to hang too.

Default Here's my Lex

I brought her at 180K. I decided to get her with this many miles since it only had one owner and she came with a book of records from Lexus and other credible shops. The owner already did the timing belt water pump plugs and wires at 140K and when I got her I put in a new altenator as you see the 20% tints and the owner had a plug put in for ipods.

She rides so smooth but since i'm a city driver the bumpy roads put a ? up for a noise i'm hearing in the wheel section like something i need to look into. The leather is good except for one rip in the driver seat. If anyone knows about those two faults let me know. and the needles are demming after about an hour of driving. Is the only way to take out the whole thing and send it to Lexitech???

Thanks for the NE forum i'll hit that up. I'm in gear to put the 2-way alarm and sounds in soon. I really don't want to leave a lot of space where the factory radio is, but i'll figure out something. Any installers near me??? I'm still deciding on the wheels. Thanks for the Luv

Search Leatherique(excuse the spelling) for a diy kit, and I can't explain the needles but I sent mine to the electrical shop and the replaced the bulbs in the speedo and found other little kinks!
