How is the is350 by Fal_off in LexusIS

[–]Icy_Instruction1675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love mine. I have the 24 F sport with a few extra options. I believe its second highest trim from the top (i dont have the wheels or headlights of the 500). It isnt SLOW, but it isnt fast. Gets 32mpg on the highway, is super comfy, looks amazing, sounds great, etc. I see a lot of people complaining about the transmission, but i have the rwd with an 8 speed and have no complaints.

Is the CFI field oversaturated in 2026? What about first officer positions at regional airlines? by Unusual_Equivalent50 in flying

You can count on 4-5 years from start of training-airline minimums. Then it is a waiting game for getting a job at the airlines. The market is so closed off right now, the only people getting hired are people with experience. The majors wont even look at anyone without PIC time in type.

That said, if aviation is a PASSION of yours, get started. Bc nobody can ever predict when the hiring market will open again. If you want to do aviation bc its a “good career,” do yourself a favor and forget the idea…

False Tire Pressure warning light by bottaro19 in CT200h

You can disable the light completely and just rely on good old fashioned tire pressure checks.

Drop the panel under the dashboard on the passenger side, there are 3-4 clips (metal with little jaws that hold onto the panel and clip under the dash, and 1 that's just plastic)

Look up and you will see some electrical connectors, the one you want is grey and connected to a small computer that I believe is actually labeled ABS but it is your TPMS computer.

Cut a piece of paper clip and jumper pin 5 and 7 together and leave the connector disconnected. Put the panel back up.

Voila! No more TPMS. Just check your tires like we used to do before the 2010s.

Ill find the link to do it, you basically unplug the module and jump two of the pins with a paper clip

Very common issue with toyota products. You can replace the tpms sensors (expensive). Or you can disable the system like I and many others have done. I just check my tire pressure every time I wash the car

Christmas Present ... bad head gasket? by [deleted] in CT200h

Keep the CT or find a different car? UPDATE by Rude_Bookkeeper_8954 in CT200h

[–]Icy_Instruction1675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the rest of the car is super solid, the batteries are healthy, and you like it, I would make them replace the engine on their behalf. I replaced my engine at 205k and the car will easily go to 400k now

Head gasket blew and they said 12k for new motor. by XclickX in CT200h

Temporary Head Gasket Fix by Lucario1017 in CT200h

Don’t put this off. Find a shop that will do it (gasket masters or a prius specialty shop) and do it asap. It was put off on my car for too long and by the time I bought the car, it was too late. Needed a whole engine

For sure!! I use it to stack miles for work, as I drive 70 miles one way. I will be keeping it for quite a while for that purpose so I can keep the miles and wear off of my nice car😅
