That's a harsh critique of Lexus owners.

@BoDarville It’s been very proven how the throttle controllers work..

All you need to do is push the gas pedal harder / all the way down when hammering it..!!

Can anyone educate me on how the valved exhausts work on the Lexus V8s? They all look like they are electronically actuated, so you need power to the servo or whatever...do you just run a harness back up to the fuse box?

really thinking about pushing the button on the OEM CF spoiler and mirror caps; all pieces seem to be on back order at the moment. I would love to R2 the calipers with F calipers one day as well.

@xxwhosnxt that's a dope steering wheel! I bought a shift **** from the homie. on the fence about a steering wheel too! but I kinda like the wood on mine at the moment. I might be sold on an CF/suede combo though!!!

patiently waiting on other exhaust brands at the moment.

So after doing some research for the 2UR-GSE. ISF, RCF & GSF owners are using Toms Racing Drop in air filter:

Agreed - I tested over and over again.. The TOMS’s filter lets in too much dust and tiny pebbles pass through..

I know this cause I found it on the filtered side.. Many times after cleaning it.

I have since only used the OEM for better quality fitment & filtering.. I wiill be installing a Blitz Japan air panel drop in filter in the weeks to come..
