It's funny that you mentioned that because I have bought 2 sets of Lexus center caps and they don't fit. Everything is too small.

 

looking good man...this is exactly how you want to keep it. Don't get me wrong, putting tons of money into engine and cosmetic mods is good and all. But it comes to a point where too much makes it undriveable or you-don't-want-to-drive-it-because-it's-too-nice. Keep it up and keep her in the family

 

After replacing all the parts mentioned above, my GS is not finish yet. Eversince the repairs, I'v notice a weird noise and my mechanic thought it was the water pump, but we decided to wait awhile before jumping to the conclusion because replacing it again would be a P.I.T. We took a look at it again the other day and thought it was the drive belt tensioner and replace it. After replacing it, we still hear the noise and now he think it's the fan clutch. I just ordered it today hopefully that's it because these whole thing cost me over two thousand dollars already. Eventhough it was not really the drive belt tensioner, but it was going to fail soon anyway because when my mechanic took it off, one of the bolt broke and he have to used some tool that drilled it in reverse or something to remove it. Since I was on a rolll, I thought just replace it anyway.

 

Man that sucks. Me and my mechanic broke out the stethoscope and started listening to everything and thats when we found that the fan clutch was backing away from the water pump. I re-torqued with some new nuts and bolts and haven't had a problem since. Now I have this squealing creaking sound coming from the drivers side suspension. Ugh. Always something.

Hope you get it figured out man. Keep us updated.

 

I just replaced my fan clutch today and I'm so happy to announce that the problem is solved. As for my GS, it now sound like what a Lexus should sound like....quiet.

 

Two cars on the opposite ends of the country with the same problem just a week apart. Its like our cars have ESP or something lol. Glad you got it fixed.

 

Where's the updates man!? Lol

 

Haha updates should be up soon. I'm putting in a new starter tomorrow (stupid contacts went bad). Tires were delivered Friday and the wheels should be in Monday. Then its a matter of getting everything mounted and a good detail job. I got a new dslr camera so pics are coming soon!

 

Small teaser and update. Better pics to come soon. The stance looks fudged only because I'm parked slightly uphill.
