Ok all the maintenance and mounts are finally done ! The new mounts cleared up the vibration for sure, drives smooth as butter. Did the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, of course new coolant, pulleys cam seals, serpentine belt, valve cover gaskets with spark plug seals, spark plugs, power steering pump, motor mounts, trans mount, mobile 1 oil change, transmission filter and BG flush service ( 88000 miles trans filter changed 3 times and bg flush done twice) rear end fluid change.
Had to drive my wife to work all week I like her v8 4Runner but I really missed my Lexus . Cant wait till the snow stops falling so I can do a major detailing that will last more than 3 feet...

All I did was put gas in her

putting 3mm non-hub centric spacers that worked on my old dsm on the ls and realizing that it was a bad idea and didn't work... death wobble like I have never seen after 55mph

Today 3/31/15, I went to discount tire and got brand new tires (Yokohama YK580) for my 97 Ls400. The rep knock off $30 of the original price, plus they will mail me $100 visa debit card. These tires supposedly improves your gas mileage by 1 or 2 mpgs. I will test this claim as I'm about to take a 400 mile trip to Houston this weekend.

Now if you need tires, they have the Pirelli
Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tires with a $60 rebate. I believe these are the BEST tires you can buy for your Ls. Those Pirelli's get rave reviews. After I bought my Yokahoma's, the next day I wanted to go back and exchange for the Pirelli P7s but decided not to, reason is I didn't want to spend no more money and I rather get the $100 rebate with the Yokahoma's instead of $60 with the Pirelli's.

Regarding the deal I got, I went in DT with the mindset of NOT buying the tire "certificates" to keep the total price below $600, but the rep kept insisting that I buy the certificates in case a tire gets damage. The certificates were an extra $72 and the original total out the door price was 660, but the rep reduced the price of each tire to bring the cost down from 660 to 630 certificates included.

Thanks for the info... I will look into the Pirellis for sure. Only bought the Michelin's before, but as I've got the car in the shop getting new timing belt, valve cover gaskets, strut rod bushings, engine mounts and alignment, was looking to cut some costs somewhere.

You just missed the Michelin rebate last month at DT. Buy any four Michelin tires you receive a $70 debit card.

I put on a new set of Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance tyres in stock size. They have received very good reviews, they are affordable, silent and on top of all they feel great!
