Same noise.

Previous owner said it has a kaaz lsd, i never checked it out for myself.

Davis · 03-04-2009, 11:33 AM

Thanks Mixxer for the heads up.

But I won't probably upgrade them in awhile. Asked the guy how they would be and if it's just right, I'll get em and leave them in my closet.

I'm not even done with cutting the magnets for one side of the car Mark.

I'm trying to be as meticulous as I can be. It's turning out pretty good. I'll post pics either tonight or tomorrow morning.

And yay! All my parts besides the rear rotors are shipped out!!

masagsxr · 03-04-2009, 11:47 AM

Well, think about it. It'll be perfect by the time we bleed your lines. We can do it all at the same time

. I think you can get them for a really good price. Don't offer, ask how much he wants to sell them then make your counter offer

Davis · 03-04-2009, 11:53 AM

^ That's exactly what I did!

Well I won't put these on yet until I go tracking.

I don't have light 15" wheels for the car and I really like my 91s.

EvilElvis · 03-04-2009, 12:54 PM

you guys going to do a fix it day? I need to use your aircompressor tools mixxer

masagsxr · 03-04-2009, 01:01 PM

Not really a fix day. Davis just needs help flushing and bleeding his brakes but seems like he is not much in a rush to do it.

o6spdracer · 03-04-2009, 01:09 PM

Mark, I'll call the guy and ask him how much for a set and what the warranty process is. Your best bet is to go through KYB. The guy I go through is pretty lazy, but gives me decent prices. Better than ebay usually.

Christian, I'll ask for you also. What year accord, model, engine size...etc.

That is awesome Frankie. We can all use the extra savings in this economy.

Yeah.. we'll setup a date sometime... can't do it this weekend.. Niece's b-day.... or if you are in a rush, you could use some of those muscles you haven't used in a while and start wrenching by hand

If you still need to check the OBDII code on your GS let me know. I have the tool

o6spdracer · 03-04-2009, 04:47 PM

Thanks Mixxer. I checked it last week. Its pulled code P0057, bank2sensor2 (O2 sensor). I guess it is a common problem with the GS. I was freaking out over it. Damn Lexus parts are expensive!

datguydeni · 03-04-2009, 04:59 PM

Finally got my X- Bar installed feels better making those turns at high speeds. also got my fogs lights in too. the screws are actually m5-.8 x anything (empty in the back 15mm+ should do fine.)
so i went to home depot to go "borrow" a dremel. got the fog lights in. They're a bit dim but will get HID later down. Now i'm thinking of doing some rewiring so the fogs can run on their own or at least with park lights. or something without the actual headlights on. Where is this write up again, i saw it somewhere...

mmmm next thing on my list my double din =D and i think i'm done o.0 well wait that's impossible can never be done on an mr2 xD. i'll think of some other things that i can do to it. haha

Ouch.. How much was it? I'm thinking dealer is like $150+?

o6spdracer · 03-04-2009, 05:57 PM

After my discount it is $160 not including taxes. I could order it from the other dealer I get discounts from but the shipping and wait time to get it would make up the difference in taxes.

Davis · 03-04-2009, 06:33 PM

Haha yeah they are a common problem on GSs I think I did two so far? Pretty easy. Only pain in the butt thing is getting the carpeting out of the way on the front passenger side to get to the o2 connector.

Oh and the guy already sold the brake calipers. Oh well.
