2002 LS430 Out: K&N VP2045 In: Denso 4531007

Go see your Lexus dealer. AFAIK, your LX is not a DIY.

Small correction tasks with the Lexus. "Upgraded" the navigation data DVD from the original data Version 1.0 to the latest data (for the Gen 2/3 systems) Version 13.1. Did this just because. The interior car has always had this oily, grease-like smell. I could even smell it in the trunk. I...

Out of spec toe is the one adjustment that will quickly wear down a tire.

Foam speaker suspensions for the LS430. Deteriorating subwoofer foam is a chronic problem across all LS models with the Mark Levinson system. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/

Lexus puts filters in the reservoirs too. I've never had issues. However, I wouldn't know how to tell when they start to plug up. 🤷‍♂️

Delcotron upgrade (y)

If there's a future need, McMaster has Class 10.9 (150k psi) metric threaded rod. 🤷‍♂️

Got the trim-to-fit WeatherTech floor mats in the LS430. Only had to trim the fronts. The tan color is going to take some getting used to. Had to clean/shampoo the carpet in the rear passenger side foot well to remove couple of grease marks. 😑 I think the next project will be to strip out...

Being the curious type, I was wondering what ever became of the old LS400. Searched the VIN and these two links popped up. https://autohelperbot.com/en/car/JT8BH28F2W0138913_53878162 https://bid.cars/en/lot/1-68732604/1998-Lexus-LS-JT8BH28F2W0138913 Hopefully, it lives a long and happy life...

Drove out to Modesto Toyota to pick up some parts for the Lexus. Yeah, I want it.

Scrubbed the carpet in the LS430. Just crappy pre-sale detail work. Crappy inspection on my part too. This was under the paper throw away mat and the OEM carpet floor mat. Scrubbed both mats and the front foot well with Folex. The dead pedal pad had some chewing gum like stuff on it. Came...

I still have my old Passport. It's probably doesn't detect modern radar anymore.

Air intake mounting on the LS430 - Took all day to gather up the necessary tooling; the rivet nut specs read that they fit into a 9mm hole. The hole needed to be larger than 10.5mm. I needed a reduced shank bit because of drill chuck limitations. Hardware store didn't have an 11mm bit; went...

Someone on X recently posted this image of H.P. Lovecraft. I actually thought it was a doctored image of Zuckercrank.

Yes, mass counts. Elon vs. Zuckerberg cage match - Elon was going to use his "walrus" move.

Too bad it's not a live person on the other end. Otherwise....

The guy who picked up the trash at my Mom's house would sometimes help her take the heavy stuff out to the curb. It helped that he was a classmate of mine and lived across the street.

I do all my Amazon returns at the UPS Store as well. Most times, I don't even have to repack the item. As long as it's in the original product box. The pile of Amazon returns is staggering. Looks like a 1/4 scale model of Mt. Everest.

Does the CR-V have a Main Relay like Honda of old?
