  1. Business card holder?? Parking ticket holder?? I keep my Lexus roadside assist card in mine.
  2. No, but the TSIB fix is a top end rebuild with some new parts, and that does. Can this short lived knock cause any serious long term damage? I have heard an odd startup noise on a few occasions and would like to get it looked into if it's likely to be damaging.
  3. The toe out on the rear will certainly make it more tail happy rather than the generic toe in, understeer option. I also found to have some toe out on the front gave better turn in, but will increase the tramlining from the front.
  4. Tango Do you take this machine on track, or just for enjoyment? Does anyone know what 'standard' settings would be best for straight line stability and good tyre wear, whilst still balancing effective turn in with minimal understeer? I'm mainly after tyre longevity but occasionally enjoy a run on windy roads.
  5. Is this trait common to all wives/girlfriends/womankind? It sounds strangely familiar! I agree
  6. I think the nav uses average speeds that are put into the system, for city and highway driving. If going slower or faster it doesn't register until you get much closer to your destination, when it then seems to take into account your actual speed. I usually look at the distance remaining rather than time remaining.
  7. Does the car auto unlock when you put it into P, or do you have to manually unlock? Enjoy the new wheels.
  8. should be on the passenger door pillar, pm it me whaen you have it or the full reg number and i will look it up for you My 10th digit is also a 0, but underneath (from the door pillar plaque) is has year of manufacture as April 2007.
  9. It's just the way it is, so you can't select names whilst driving. I believe there are some hacks to enable to work around it.
  10. I just bung my phone into the centre console cup holder. I have a spectacle cleaning cloth in the bottom so no rattles. If it faces you it's easy to see who's calling, although it does come up on my nav screen. :winky:
  11. Looks like you need a cage for your Lex then, gotta keep them cats away somehow.......
  12. Swamprat, Ive changed rotors on my previous Subarus with DBA rotors and they were better than the original japanese fitted version, same with wifes Commodore. I'm sure they'd have something worthy, look at slotted as well if you enjoy some spirited driving on occasions.
