A little shout out to Lexus engineers who deemed it necessary to light the warning Triangle as tire grip rides the fine line 1 having grip to 0 having lost grip to inform you the windshield washer fluid is low! How about a delay when g-forces are not at maximum???

^Or how about when the ABS systems being disabled due to a faulty O2 sensor. Yeah, almost flat-spotted two good front tires as some idiot tried pulling out in front of me at 45mph. All because earlier that morning the car threw a O2 sensor CEL code. BOO!

^^ You win hands down on that one. Why would they disable such a critical function? At least it wasn't snowing!

I have not. Since I can't self tune the car, it wasn't a PID I was tracking.

Default Thread in Oil fill funnel hack

For those doing their own oil change; here is a quick hack to make filling from those 4 quart jugs easier. A product called STP oil treatment comes in a container with nearly the same thread shape and size as the fill hole. Cut the end off and thread it in. It will not fall out as it's that good of fit.




O/T
Anyone else have glue drips on their engine like this?
Here are just a few examples.... it seems to be randomly everywhere although I have peeled some away.

It is truly funny how in-between the interiors my '06 and your '13, they're like 95% the same. LOL!

Ya, god forbid they make improvements! lol
Certainly the design didn't change much!
I however am thankful there is no beige, cream two tones or fake wood.
Or in the case of the 3IS, an analog clock shoved into the center of an all digital dash! I hate what they did there. Super ugly IMO.

Yeah, we'll just throw some new material on the seats, put in an aluminum-looking garish on above the glovebox, and install an updated headunit. DONE! LOL!

I wouldn't have purchased my 2IS if it had anything but black on black interior. Not a fan of biege, grey, and especially white. I could DEFINITELY get onboard with a 3IS red interior color though!

I'd take our interiors over the 3IS any day, minus the seats. Now, if I could get a set of black 3IS seats to work correctly in my 2IS...I'd be in heaven!

Thread started on BEAN/MPX communications to override the stalk control and turn fogs on with running lights or headlights.

This seems hopeful!
Morimoto XB Lexus Fogs at night....


Anyone know the switch hack to enable the fog lights without having the headlights on?

Good luck on your fog light swap there. Soon I'll be doing a headlight swap. Soooooo looking forward to have non-yellowing headlights again!
