Default Tuneddd Up

Just got my tune up done damage $900 with labor
And let me say god damn, i never knew a lexus drove like this, smooth as a mother, and by the time you know it im doing 120 on the LIE. It lost its sporty feel though, now its nothing more than a Cruiser or should i say Soarer.
iI also changed my tranny mount also check on those guys they have a tendency to go bad and improved shifting will accompany it if you do. Only problem is when i put the air on its either very cold or very hot do we have a sensor on the heater core?

Things on the future agenda Left motor mount, and two bushings the are in the beginning and at the end of the output shaft. Any suggestions besides the "ill take all your money of your back dealers" ?
