  4. i changed a cam belt on one of these cos lexus did not have one but we made one up to undo the nut but it was very very tight i think it was two sockets and lot of sweat but you have to have some thing to lock the crank shaft up or you will not get it off

  22. i have had that you check the connecters and the fuses see thats theres nothing wrong with them start thinking what now and turn it on to move it and it all works and you have not got a clue what you did
  23. i don't know how much more power you would get but you would have to stop them back wheels spinnin why do you want to put one on it but i know that i super charger will give you a faster kick a turbo you have to wait for then its there matt
  24. super charge it i have driven both and i think the super charger is better power wise it puts more strain on the engine but you get more power quicker
  25. nice car i like the wheels i had a 300 in a little while ago witha oil leaks i thnk i change the rocker box cover gaskets and found it was not that and it was the rear main oil seal so he put some stop oil leak stuff in it and has not been back buti would not put it in a turbo but it does sound like a rear main and i would just keep toping it up the same as i do on my power steering on my ls400 matt
