2 quick updates 1st is my body guy said I should get the car back 2mro latest Friday and 2nd cf interior is all done! Lmk what u think... And lmk about the ecu somebody! Lol
I sure will man... Yeah I bought the 12 ecu I made sure it was compatible first... it actually come outta a 11 is250 awd... I'll def post lots of pics when and if *fingers crossed* I get the gtr... Thanks man I think the interior came out rly good too... Lol that **** carpeting is in my basement work room and I've ****ed it up with paint resin and burns so badly that it's kinda nice to have bc no matter what happens to it I dont care lol plus its better to stand on the carpet for long periods of time while working over hard concrete lol dont make fun of my workshop! Lol
So happy to have her back! Yeah the gaps n paint r perfect... Told u my body guy was good lol Took her on a spirited drive tonight... Gotta bring it to Lexus on Monday to get the isf steering ecu programmed and the tpms sensor ids imputed into the car to get the light off... Rims are niche Verona m149 19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear... For some reason I feel the car handles much better with the 19s on it...
Hey I have a question about my tpms sensors... There is no check system light on its just the low air (!) In lower right corner... I have them set on 2nd main. Does that mean the tpms are working but I need to check the air in the tires? Or they're not reading the tpms? Or do I need to bring the car to Lexus for them to do this ... They're telling me at minimum they'll charge me 165 to do the tpms input plus another 120 for a minor alignment and 65 for the steering ecu... If I can avoid doing the tpms sensors it'd be great and save a lot of $
It's just the system doesn't recognize the sensors is all.
To save you a few bucks, visit a Discount Tire store that has specific a TPMS tool WITH A TOYOTA/LEXUS adapter. They can get your Lexus to read the new sensors hopefully for free! But the tool they use HAS TO HAVE that adapter. Ask me how I know. Call ahead to insure they have one in the shop.
Thanks gville I'll try calling around today... The car is already lowered on f sport springs... I live in Nj right outside NYC... Lowering any more around here is a death sentence with potholes that will swallow your car completely.... This is the reason it took me so long to buy 19s bc I didnt want to bend one outta the box driving on these roads...
I tried doing the tpms rest withno luck... I'll bring it to DTS tire who said 30 bucks to program the tpms by scanning them 80 max if they need to tear the tires off the rims but that shouldn't need to happen... I also put in the putco jet yellow fogs today... I like em a lot n they're rly yellow without the wrap on the fogs... I bought 2 sets of bulbs the pitco jet yellow and the nokya hyper yellow and I think from looking at them the jet yellow is more deep Lexus fog yellow looking then the nokya but I'll keep em as backups
