Aspect's 07 IS250 AWD

My buddies scanner did pick up the same driver side o2 sensor fault cause i knocked it real bad on a speed bump. Replaced it with a Denso o2 sensor IIRC and the o2 sensor code disappeared but p0606 still remained and I've been trying to figure it out ever since. Maybe i have to replace the other one too even though its not throwing codes?
hope you can get it all working soon

Nothing much new
Not sure if anyone here is experiencing this aside from me but a couple of my rear bumper clips decided to let go and create a small gap on the side of my car.
Tried bending them down but it didn't work that well, so i got some 3m tape, cut it in half length wise and into small sections, then with some plastic pry tools i wedged the plastic latches down and shoved the 3m strip above it to hold it down. Works for the moment. Just a boring update for now just posted just in case anyone else might need a cheap fix

I highly recommend you check your alignment settings to see what your front toe is set to. Even with the FIGS LCA bushings, my front tires would still suffer from inner tread wear (though not as rapid). Once I learned to change the front toe setting 0.00, the inner tire wear became non existent on my Michelin tires.
On a side note, surprise surprise the alignment guy told me my rear pads were getting low and they definitely are even though my fronts are still very meaty. I presume it's the caliper again... might consider a brake upgrade next year.

New pads
Rear pads toast, maybe due to more caliper seizing idk. Bought some Akebono Performance Ceramics for the rear to see how they perform. Rotor is running a bit hot on the inner ring so I'm gonna check it tomorrow.

Windshield moulding
Finally replaced my windshield moulding. Thing was dry rotted and fallig off on the highway. Idk what the precious owner did but there was a ridiculous amount of rubber and glue I had to remove... I hope it wasn't some sort of windshield seal

Great build, and great to see a modded IS in Ontario.
Hopefully I can try to keep up to your build. Been reading for a while and finally decided to join the forum and maybe start my own build thread
Also how is the ISF steering ecu holding up, really thinking of getting one.

Got something small to add to the ride in a couple weeks. Else I've been playing around with new wheel options that I'll upload for community review later.
Except I've been delayed... hit a pot hole and now I need to order another upper control arm since the ball joint and arm have completely separated. I almost got 2 years out of it... why must these upper control arms cost so damn much... smh
I even had to dig up my old thread on upper control arms because I've forgotten all the info - RWD and AWD control arms are different, AWD control arms are symmetrical while RWD is side dependent, MikeFig82 concluded it was better to replace the whole arm rather than try to press a new ball joint into the socket.

It would be great if some after markets where made. I'd prefer some megan racing one's. I installed some on my old GS400 5 years with no issues.

Yeah i was combing through the classifieds and remembered there were no AWD ones. I mean you could get a custom one from FIGS but at that price I'd be buying a lot of other things lol

I can't believe one failed in 2 years. Tough roads!!! From the old frame shop days I learned how to pop out the worst of the worst but those were usually lowers and with spring pushing down its a lot easier than pulling an upper arm just to put it back.
If you can minimize flex and get direct force applied, work moves pretty quickly.
Good luck Aspect...
