List of RX300 DIYs
I have been giving this some thought after hearing about this idea before.
In order to make it easier for both new and veteran members alike, I'd like for everyone to add any DIYs for the RX300 in this sticky thread (maintenance, special projects, you name it) done by any of our members. I know I have a few myself, TunedRX300, our friend ederny, http://rx300how2.home.comcast.net/~rx300how2/ and many others. It is not necessary to have done them on Club Lexus, we only need a link to the thread or site.
Since many DIYs are based on check engine light (CEL) errors faced by RX300 owners, it would be helpful if everyone could take this survey of CEL so that we can pinpoint issues and keep them in mind when we do future DIYs, http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-first-generation/329187-what-cel-check-engine-light-codes-have-you-had.html

Where is the one for the repair of the cabin air servo, the thing behind the glove box that makes the obnoxious noise?
