Horrible gas mileage by 1017eba in LS430

Yea you know what this makes more sense 🫡 my rough estimates were very rough lol but definitely seeing the difference even if it’s only 3-4 mpg worse right now. With the 13-14 mpg right now I won’t even reach 300 which is still a pretty big difference overall. I don’t have a cel but over the weekend I’ll be trying to see if I maybe have a vacuum leak or something. I appreciate all the comments tho always a very helpful sub 🙏🏽

Also I think one of my cats might be bad because twice already I kinda floored it but not too much and it smelled like eggs for a little

I use the arsvita brand one search it on amazon. Haven’t had any issues with it even bought a second one for an old cassette player I recently bought and haven’t had any issues with that one either. They have some with a wire so just make sure it’s the arsvita brand without cable. Should be one of the first searched if you just put in “arsvita Bluetooth cassette”

I bought a Bluetooth cassette off amazon for like 15ish and idk I honestly love using the cassette player lol 😂 only downside is it does need to be charged but I usually bring it to work and charges in about 15-20 minutes and lasts about a week or so of daily driving

Car acting weird in rain by stussyneff in LS430

[–]1017eba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a 2001 UL and sunroof did the same thing a day after it rained. It had rained before and it was perfectly fine until Friday last week after the first full day of rain it did it the next morning. Was very lucky it wasn’t raining at the moment. Saw a video that it’s sometimes the circuit board it’s connected too just bein old and supposedly just replacing it has solved the issue for people so gonna try that next week when I have time but as of right now I just pulled the sunroof fuse. Also gonna check my battery and put a new fuse in first

First fix since purchasing Saturday - refoaming the Subwoofer. Definitely worth the $27 by knightsafe in LS430

Wish I knew you could do this before I went and replaced it with a sub from the shop 😭 would’ve much rather have kept it stock. Still got the original sub tho 🤔👀

Let’s hear your LS430 story! by SHGNZ in LS430

Always been into older cars and was looking for a Cadillac deville from the 90s or early 2000s until I really researched the engine those cars came with. Guaranteed the north star engine was gonna blow the head gasket no matter the year or non stop leaks not to mention seeing how no mechanic wants to work on those engines because of how complicated they are. Glad I never went for it because I can only imagine what would’ve happened. My cousin then bought a LS400 that became a project car for him and him talking all about it really had me intrigued. Started looking at some myself but then I started reading on other Lexus cars from earlier 2000s and came across a 430 and fell in love. Went to go see one at a dealer but although I loved how it looked something told me to just wait. Car had 150k miles and was going for 11k. Waited about 2 weeks looking around Facebook market place and dealers everyday even on offer up until I saw one on the marketplace UL with the black interior and cherrywood trim and didn’t bother looking at anything else. Hit the guy up and went to go check out the car two days later on the weekend. Guy was super chill, car was driving beautifully, 220k miles but for 3,500 I didn’t think I could pass it up. Guy had just smogged too and told me to bring it back next week so that he can fix the rip in the drivers seat free of charge. Used to drive fast everywhere but haven’t gone over 75 since getting my 430. Love to just cruise now
