Have you got a pic of were the head gasket blew, you might want to replace the starter motor to (while its apart I know its a can of worms but if you can get a cheap low km,s one do it ) That looks like a nice clean shop, who,s doing it cheers.
Good write up when working on any suspension a impact gun is invaluable๐ and why didn't you go with the RR lower control arm bushes, I put them in mine and yes they work great no more brake squirm they just tighten the front end up so much. Sounds like you had fun at the drags cheers and thanks again for the pics and vids.
Buy a infrared heat thermometer off ebay and check radiator temps, it sounds like a semi blocked radiator. Does the car run smoothly ?? I hope its not the head gaskets.
You are joking where are you buying a $40 filter. Just check eBay or any store including Toyota for a filter $ 24 .75 GENUINE. Bring it to me I,ll do it for $200 LOL And no its not "rebranded Mobil1 its what ever they get a good deal from oil company's at the time, get your own oil and filter and take it to a GOOD mechanic shop for stuffs sake I am a HONEST mechanic, it is a basic V6 Toyota engine after all....
Just buy 2x 5ltrs then you have extra next oil change (supercheap have 6ltrs Penrite) 6.3 ltrs oil change for IS 250 just think yourself lucky the ISF uses 9.5lts good luck.
YEP but $454 275/35/19 (Tyresales) plus delivery and fitting and balance tyre disposal work out to be more than $ 500, see unless you live in Sydney FORGET BUYING TYRES ON LINE cheers.
How are the PS 4s just about to get some but at $500 a tyre they better be bloody good I have Bridgestone Potenza 003 on the front and they are great, tossing up between the two cheers.
I hope they are genuine, some cheap knock offs around. DBA make some nice rotors and a few other brands protex etc NS400 ARE A GOOD PAD FOR THE STREET AND LIGHT TRACK WORK cheers.
So you went for the "Murdered look" American slang for black on black looks good, how do you like the Grom, how much, and install info if you got it , and gee the sills look good someone had a good idea ๐.
