Hi all. Got back boxes mufflers removed and strait pipes welded on with 4" tips. Not great video but you get an idea. On motorway no noise just like normal but on low gears / revs you hear V8 roar. My old boxes were badly rusted so it was cheaper to just remove them and go for pipes with tips.

haha....my asda car park is quite huge and i always park right at the end of car park :)

thats true no matter how much you clean it, silver just looks clean and never looks utter shiny :(

Hi All before you ask why always ASDA, coz I use asda car wash and plenty parking space to get on with pampering :) First time used mcguires wax and not bad, very easy to apply and buff. Also what you think about Lexus decal / sticker on side window ? AJ

At last i managed to connect my phone to my car :)

found this https://www.2carpros.com/questions/2005-lexus-ls-430-park-assist-sensor-replacement

Hi Guys I noticed under heavy acceleration i get rotten egg / sulfur kinda smell coming from car. Did some google research and some say its normal, some say its coz of using normal unleaded fuel, some say use hi octane and it will go away and some say its BAD CAT converter. If its bad cat converter as in clogged up converter then what option do i have. 1. is it possible to clean it ? 2. is there way to get some code to check if its cat converter ? 3. how expensive this job is ? 4. if i go for custom exhaust with out cats, will car throw any codes at me ? 5. some cold morning starts i noticed my right exhaust hole is blowing plenty of steam where as left side is very little, close to none. Thanks all. AJ

I bought my 2004 one year ago with 237k miles. Now it has 242k miles. There was no much history or any record with car as such but it was great price so i just bought it. did mini service, oil change etc and drives sweet. so in my opinion test drive it, if it feels right and price is not too bad then just go for it. Gut feeling :)

regardless of area, do you think cars covered in full covers get more attention from idiots ?

Hi Guys, Need your input here please. My street is full of trees and during summer tree sap, leaves and bird poo is pure pain. Tree sap is so bad that I have to wash car every 2nd day, literally every 2nd day. My questions are : 1. I am after cheap cover, I have seen on ebay extra large size for £10. Is extra large size enough for LS430 ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extra-Large-Size-XL-Full-Car-Cover-UV-Protection-Waterproof-Outdoor-For-VW-FORD-/151989503111?hash=item236347c487:g:EMsAAOSwQYZWyAFx 2. If car is parked on public road with cover on it, is it going to attract extra attention ? especially from Vandals thinking its some luxury car or some old banger ? 3. any other ideas to avoid tree sap / tree crap etc I am worried car parked all covered up will attract vandals or idiots ? Thanks All. AJ

Lexusman and Lexuschap are two diff guys. Lexusman mainly deals in soarers or atleast used to.

Did lexuschap literally said the word Allah Akbar to you Jim ? If yes then he was totally out of his mind. I thought you just used that word to take out your anger or used that word to slag him off. If he used that word on phone coming from Lexuschap then that was utter nonsense and I do apologise for my earlier replies.

I was referring to Allah Akbar thing.... no need to tag him...or put Allah Akbar label on him.... just because he looks or sounds like Arab / Muslim / Asian what ever.... which i guess he is.. " screaming Allah Akbar " is racist comment in my opinion. we are all lexus lovers here and thats it... and we should avoid using such a silly words. I am sure plenty muslim members here and these kinda silly words can easily offend someone.

I dont think there was any need for this nonsense coming from you.

my 2004 facelift, right side of steering column under dash there are 2 knobs, one to adjust volume and second for keyless enable/disable. under dash above accelerator. My old Audi sensors stopped working and It was much cheaper for me to just get reverse camera + screen fitted. I think I paid about £100 inc parts labour and that was 4 years ago. consider getting reverse cam, really helps.

Pics are in order. 1. as it is nothing touched. 2. Button set to HIGH 3. Button back to NORMAL I can hear motors pumping and car lifting up and going down.
