The next installment consists of a new radiator, tranny fluid, and brake booster check valve.
I took enough pictures to do a half assed write up on each. The mother tranny thread is a mess though.

I did the tranny thread. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...procedure.html
not much new. The steering wheel’s leather had split along the top. I bought one of those $30 leather stitch on covers but I didn’t do a good enough job to keep that. So now a new/used wheel sits in place and the world is right again.
I did like the extra thickness of the cover. I considered an aftermarket wheel but all the options are pretty ugly in my opinion.
I’ve neglected this thread mainly out of embarrassment. I’ll update the past few years…
painted the calipers red since the old clear had failed.
while in there in installed the easy bleeders and changed the brake fluid for the first time.

So that lead me to some cosmetic stuff like the trim around the windshield.
I did some touch up paint work and that made a pretty big difference.
The OEM driver light had had some damage since I got the car so I picked up some of the DEPO v2 halogen replacements.
and added an eBay lip
and the OEM wing had clear coat failure so I dropped on this

I ended up at the dealer for a TP sensor and the suggested a new valve cover gasket and plugs…. I’ve planned on doing this along with a valve tolerance check, but work has been too busy and I decided to have them do all that.
Got a good report the valves were all within a 0.01” of each other and were within spec.
I’ll post a few more pics from the past couple of years.

@McPierson Car looks great. Is that a Bayson R front lip? Does it attach to front bumper cover by self-tapping screws? How is fitment?

it fit very good. It’s fairly flexible. My bumper cover isn’t long for this world so I didn’t hesitate to put a few holes in it.
I’m able to remove the bumper without taking off the lip.

Lovely fleet. A vehicle for all occasions. Looks like a Bayson-R lip to me. I have the same, as many others on here. Best bang for buck and very little guilt if you hit a curb compared to a $2k lip.
Curious about those Bilstein's. Do they offer different perch height settings? How's the ride with stock springs compared to OEM?
