Draw-Tite Tow Hitch Receiver installed on 16 F-Sport! Will Apexi muffler fit??

I just installed a Class III Draw-Tite Tow Hitch Receiver on my 2016 F-Sport AWD! I know someone already posted a DIY so I didn't bother to write another one up and the install is very straightforward anyways.

Does anyone know if the Apexi muffler will fit with this hitch receiver?

I have an extra brand new, never installed hitch receiver (same exact model) for sale on SF Bay CG if anyone local needs one btw.

Oil Change

$

Will shortly be doing an oil change on my RX350, since Lexus did the previous one free. Plan on buying filter at Toyota-
I assume the cartridge they sell comes with the seals, but does it include the plastic drain device? If not, and I have to buy one, is it reusable? Will a need a special tool to remove the cartridge housing? I have various devices I have used to remove canned filters. Hoping one of those will work.
Thanks,

Drivers seat recovered.

Well, I thought I would take pictures of the install BUT I was in a time crunch and just got off a 12 hour night shift. I got the covers (front two seats, head rests and arm rest) off Amazon of all places. Ordered them in tan per vendor. First set came with tan stitching, so I probably should have specified white. Sent them back and got the correct color stitch. Install is NOT fun. I only did the drivers side. The new covers do not come with seat heaters installed. I transferred the bottom one over (it's a *****) but the top one when I was removing I accidently cut through the wire so no I decided not to hook any of it up. In South Texas? Not a priority but could affect re sale. You need hog ring pliers, hog rings, gorilla forearms and a lot of patience. Some cutting required but holes are spot on and traced in silver marker.

2007 LS460 Error Code P0301, Check VSC, Engine light, Traction light

$

Hello,
I received check VSC, engine light, traction light combination immediately after filling up my tank with premium gas at Costco as I normally do. Error display started to appear 10 minutes after idling in parking lot. Engine started to hesitate, loss of power and temporary very low idle and rough idle when driving immediately afterwards. I tried to shut off car, remove gas cap, replace gas cap and turn until 1 click (I may have not turned gas cap to fully 1click position when fueling) and started car again. Took car to autozone immediately and ODB2 diagnostic read P0301- cylinder 1 misfire detected. P0201 injector circuit/open cyl 1 Also printed on report. 70,000 miles and out of warranty.

Could this error possibly be caused from water in gas from Costco premium gasoline? Or not fully tightening gas cap to full 1 click position. My car has never had an issue since I purchased 1.5 years ago. Vehicle history report shows no signs original owner had issues.

Will this go away on its own? Should I try adding dry gas to ensure if any water in the tank flushed through bottom of gas tank?
Idle and less hesitation seems much better after 20 miles of driving back home from auto-zone. How long should I wait to reset the ECU from a Lexus dealer or local auto technician? Will the error most likely reappear after resetting ?
Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you

Front control arms and rear air shocks

Hi all

Been a while since I posted anything but nothing happening until last week when I took car in for 5k checkup.

When I picked it up, the tech had stated front control arms bad and both rear shocks blown!

I was was surprised because car had been in for 60 k everything in November 16 and I specifically asked to check all the suspension. Tech rode with me and we could not repeat the event. Sooo, no work done on suspension.

Well, this time I guess they could see it. Became an issue when service department did not think I had warranty. Round and round with Lexus but they finally agreed to do repairs under warranty.

When I had to sign the warranty repair paper, the sum was 8200 and change to Lexus. If I had to pay for this at going rate, service tech said it would be around 10 grand! Whew! Missed that one.

However, the ride, to steal from Prince, is sooo smooth, it must be a limousine.

Anyway, just wanted to share the bad news/good news.

Thanks to this site, I was able to sound more informed about the issue than otherwise. Thanks to all who contribute to helping us non-mechanics better.

BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO

Hello... I'm looking to add more snow/mud performance to our 2013 LX570. I love the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO tire. Has anyone ever tried to put these on an LX?? The original tire size on the LX is 285/50 R20... the closest size they make this in is a 285/55 R20. Just a little increase in sidewall. Would there be any issues putting this tire on the LX?

SD Card Read Error

I'm having an issue getting the SD card to read. I get an error that says the card cannot be read and to contact the dealer. The dealer wants me to replace my NAV ECU which is 800 plus labor. They say it's bad. Based on past experience I honestly don't trust them. I think there is another way to fix it and it is possibly not being diagnosed properly. Why do I care so much--it's not under warranty any longer. Any help would be great.

Additional info -- I've tried multiple SD cards, I'm using the latest SD Card, I've updated my firmware to the current release

** SOLD ***

I no longer commute for work and so do not use it anymore. Works perfectly.

I have had it mounted via velcro to top of rearview mirror, so I am leaving the soft velcro (the "loop" portion) on it and letting new owner remove if desired. The suction cup windshield mount is packed away somewhere--if I find it I will send it, but I wouldn't count on it if I were you.

FL 2004 GS430 Orlando FL

Got a newer car to use as my daily driver so it's time to sell my GS430. It's a 2004 with 163000 miles on it and I'm in Maitland FL, just outside Orlando. I think it has every option available at the time. Navigation, Mark Levinson sound, Sunroof, 17inch Chrome wheels, self-leveling headlights. It still has the owner's manual and the Lexus First Aid kit in the trunk. This car has been good to me, and I've kept it maintained. I have replaced the knock sensors, rear sway bar bushings, radiator, power steering hose, all 4 shocks, and changed out the #2 caster arm bushings for polyurethane pieces from FIGS engineering. The factory bushing in this location hadn't failed yet, but I didn't want to wait for it to fail. I replaced the "mode select servo" in the A/C system as well, so the A/C works correctly. I also put on cross drilled/slotted rotors and new brake pads from Brakemotive, then replaced the tires with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. All this work was done over the last 2 years by myself in my driveway or at Expert Car Care in Winter Park.

Car is currently parked in my garage, since I have already purchased my new daily driver. Also in the garage I have the original spoiler for the car. I don't like the look of spoilers so I removed it. I also removed the mufflers, which I also kept in my garage. The car still has the factory resonators, so it isn't terribly loud, I just think it sounds better.

The car has never been in an accident, and has a clean Carfax. It is a 2004 so it has the usual wear you would expect on a car of that year. I can't get the seat heaters to turn on. The door locks work, but sometimes the button on the key fob won't activate all 4. I just leave them locked by the using switch on the doors themselves.

Any questions, or for more pictures just let me know. Price is $6500 or best offer.

convertible top getting stuck

$

Hey all,
I just bought a 2010 IS350c and I had a weird problem that was driving me nuts for the better part of a week, and I thought I would share this in case anyone else has a similar issue.

I got the windows tinted and in order to do it the shop had to put my convertible top partially down with the rear window in the trunk. This is when my problems began... The dude installing the tint was leaning on the plastic carpeted cover in the back just below the rear window...I figured this out later when I was cleaning some greasy hand prints off the carpet.

The next day I put the top down, but whenever I tried to close it the small plastic tray assembly that moves up and down during top retraction just behind the rear seat covers kept getting stuck. It would click when I tried to put the top up and the system would fail. It seemed to be hitting the plastic cover below, but it wasn't clear what the problem was.

To make a long story short, I figured out that the rear carpeted cover was slightly bent and after some gentle bending at the top edge everything improved again. The plastic tray assembly clearance with the carpeted cover below is pretty small and if some numbskull bends the piece you might run into problems too.

Hope this story helps someone in the future, because I spent the better part of 3 days troubleshooting.

Blue/White interior?

Does anyone have the blue/white interior, or seen it in person? Looks pretty rich in pictures, but I'm wondering what it's like in real life. My dealer says they haven't seen it yet either. Kind of reminds me of a Rolls Royce "land yacht" interior.

92 ignition problems any advice please

Hi everyone,

I've got a 1992 Toyota Celsior that's idling very rough the exhaust has a "put put put" kind of sound. There's also a misfire on the 7th Cylinder and the car has no power as if it struggles to get the rpms up over 3000-4000. I've changed the spark plugs, spark plug leads I've also cleaned all the terminals in the distributor cap. I've tested another ECU out of my Lexus ls400 so I'm sure that it's not an ECU problem. Could the problem be one of the ignition coils? There's only a misfire on the one 7th cylinder all the other spark plugs are firing fine. The catalytic converter has glowed orange a couple times on the same side as the misfire so I will be replacing that cat as well

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you :)
