Those are fantastic tires and are definitely on my list!
Here's another thing I've done to my GS lately; I was noticing some drips on my garage floor so I had the local Lexus dealership replace the TB/WP and all seals on the engine, including the VVTI cam gear. The car is mechanically and cosmetically sound.
damn why the Stealership? No good Indy mechanics around you? I can imagine the dealer would be almost twice the price to do the timing belt. I love that grey paint. I think it’s the nicest color for the GS I wish it wasn’t only on the sport edition.
Thank you! These tires were on the car when I bought it and they're...alright. The ride is acceptable for now however the rubber is a bit harder of a compound than what I'd normally spring for. Once they've worn down a bit more, I'll grab some new tires.
Hey, thanks! How's progress coming along on your GS?
Hey! I’ve made a little bit of progress so far. My friend replaced my APP sensor and that fixed my limp mode issues completely so far. Aside from that, I put 5% Llumar window tint on it and polished the headlights.
Up next is replacing an O2 sensor, fixing the crooked spoiler, getting some door dings removed, and getting a new set of struts/coilovers. I found a set of Vogtland lowering springs with struts for $225 locally. I was thinking of grabbing them but the drop is pretty small.

I have a long standing relationship with this dealer, so they are able to pull a handful of discounts. Working for the mothership doesn't hurt in that regard either.

Yea if you work for the dealer I don’t blame you then I’m sure service has good prices for employees
Back on my bs buying blown up cars, though this one actually has a blown head gasket. It's a 2001 with about 275,000 miles, white with tan interior. It was a customer's car and my coworker had quoted him a used engine over a head gasket and head rebuild because of the mileage and he decided to sell it for scrap instead so I offered him $500 for it.
I got my oil changed. Switched to Mobil1 full synthetic. Oil has gotten really expensive. I was planning on using the Toyota brand oil from the dealership but it’s way more expensive than it used to be. Might as well go full synthetic now.
Today I installed a stock subwoofer back in my "new to me" 2003, GS430 that I picked up last Saturday. Then I found out the CD player doesn't load. 🤔
Cleaned under the back seat, rear deck and side pillors.
Replaced the original oem owners manuals from ebay, with the leather binder, received my new 2003 GS430 Electrical Wiring Diagram, found out that my ECU and two new programmed keys are on their way back to San Diego from Colorado. All in all, a good day.
