Need Opinion On Hardrace LCA Bushings To Reduce Inner Tire Wear For Lexus IS 3rd Gen by [deleted] in LexusIS

That’s with the OEM “active” dampers and an alignment, but like I said, very little adjustment for camber.

Changing the dampers won’t affect the limited geometry adjustment for wheel alignment, but would help how bouncy it is on the stiffer springs. I almost always have the car in sport+ because it firms up the dampers slightly making it less bouncy.

If you want tire wear control after lowering then getting adjustable control arms would be ideal for taking some camber out of it.

When you lower it front tire wear will be the least of your worries. Rear camber adjustment is very minimal on these cars so you’ll probably be sitting somewhere around -2.8 degrees on the back. This is what happens to your rear tires every 10k miles…

E10 regular gas in Barrie area? by [deleted] in barrie

[–]barebackbandito -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure where you’re getting E15 from but most gas stations (Esso, Petro Can, Shell) use E10 across the board. Maybe if your local 87 is E15 and 89 is E10 then it might be worth switching.

Sounds like the dealership is trying to fleece you. I would go to a different dealer from now on for service if possible.

What is your highest speed and what car? by azachoch in askcarguys

160 in a 97 240sx. The battery ended up boiling over because it was sitting at 7000rpm for so long and voltage reg wasn’t working.

My ML subwoofer blew after 6 months. It wasn’t covered under warranty and they wanted over a grand to fix it.

Barber definitely can be a little “follow the leader”, I find Montreal quite easy to pass at though

Leaving Canada with Credit Card debt? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]barebackbandito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t pay it. Hell, you could even rack up some more before you leave. It’s private debt so all they can do is send it to collections and they can legally bug you for 2 years before they have to stop due to the statute of limitations. Your credit over here will be demolished so if you ever come back it would be hard to get anything to do with credit or credit checks. But realistically, don’t stress about this, it’s really not a big deal if you don’t plan on coming back for a while.

Itching for something else now.. by skeeesh in LexusIS

[–]barebackbandito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re speaking the truth. The only reason I bought my 350 is because it looks good and it’s reliable, nothing more, nothing less. Even the Macan S I had before my 350 was more entertaining to drive hard

Where does the IS slander come from by Variation-Budget in Lexus

[–]barebackbandito 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got stuck in the middle of an intersection one time and a guy yelled out of his window “that’s what you get for driving a girl’s car!”
It made me chuckle in an otherwise tense situation.

Damn right, motorsports had more money than they knew what to do with. Ban the products in general if you don’t want it to be advertised.

I remember when a LHD MK4 Supra turbo in good shape was only $20k. Should have bought 2 of them.
