    f***in' bored man,

    what really sucks is when you no longer have the computer to do this stuff in the comfort of your own home. Im stuck using school comps and no 56k. REALLY boring....

    SC300 Idle Air Control Valve

    ahh srry i thought you meant something else. That tube goes down to a port near injector #2 (from the front) on the intake manifold. It should be a metal tube that sticks straight up from the intake manifold near that point. Lexus defines it as an air hose:dunno:

    Engine Balancing?

    with brand new parts out of the box it is 100% required to balance the internals unless you want your engine to rattle apart and suffer premature engine failure.

    SC300 Idle Air Control Valve

    do you mean the little valve that sits in the Y portion of the manifold? I believe you are referring to the INTAKE air control valve not the idle air control (it confused me at first too, but if you look in the manual again you'll see that there is a difference between the IAC and IACV). This...

    Bitch in a civic just about hit me head on

    here's is an idea i learned from one of my teachers here... bring a couple of lug nuts with you next time you go out and stow them in the center console or something. if someone out on the road really pisses you off out there, get ahead in the lane next to them. Make sure you have a clear...

    *sighs* overheating???

    It doesn't sound like an airflow problem as when the coolant temp gets too high the fans kick in to compensate. That's the coolant going up and down on your gauge Check that the pressure cap is holding pressure properly. I had this problem on another car very similar to this. It kept...

    What causes Wheel Hop? And other ?'s

    Wheel hop is a traction issue that can be closely associated with the drive train. Imagine the perfect burnout in your head. The tires peel out and don't stick to the road. It's a constant slip between the tires and the road. Wheel hop is different. Lets say you go and try to peel out...

    Michael Jackson has died

    in case he died, he wanted all the plastic on his face to be melted into toys for his kids XD His career as a musician was a great one, but it shall be overshadowed by his questionable mental instability and criminal accusations. I don't know whether to grieve or not to be honest...

    Rear shocks bouncing, bottoming out, weird noises

    all that grease on the shock is from dirt and dust gathering up with the fluid leaking out of your shock. Basically they are done. With a leaking shock they will only get worse and worse until it quits working altogether. As for the busted up bump stop it could be that the shock is going bad...

    Formula 1 - There will be no split

    thank god he got the message. To be honest this breakaway series didn't sound very realistic at all. It almost seemed childish, but the point got across to Max and F1 is back on track...for now. This is the first major breakthrough, let's hope that more can come.

    It's official - FOTA to start breakaway series

    if their goal is to listen to fans, maybe they'll bring back races like the Canadian and US GP. At this point though the possibilities are endless...hopefully though there should be some good racing out of all this. Cosworth and their engine brigade is also supposed to be coming back. Any...

    Why you can't try to teach people about oil

    Keep in mind that most of the people who work at Advanced Auto and Autozone (we here like to call it the Twilight Zone due to a few horror stories going around) are not trained technicians and are simply going off of what they "think" is right. Not to say that there are some smart cookies...
