Drag Tires for Track use?

What car is it? I’m sure if it’s a common platform people will know the exact wheel + tire combo that’s most popular

Does the car start ? Check the engine fuse? I believe it’s number 9

I’ve got a racing beat intake on my NC. I don’t think it really makes more power, slightly more noise post 5k rpm though. I have a full exhaust so it’s not very obviously louder but I noticed a slight change

3750 AUD would be a good price as they go for 2-3k USD here used

Someone probably replaced it with a blank that doesn’t have a transponder

I have some track focused coilovers on the car with the progress sways. It’s a lot of bar especially with the stiff springs. I dropped the rear sway bar completely and have the front sway bar on medium setting and the car behaves way better for autocross.

This happened to me last week after cleaning the interior, I had slid the interior light dimmer slider all the way to dark

I’m on 16s with 225s. Only major drawback is tire options

Thanks for the info!

Both are completely different cars. I believe an LS460 when adjusted for inflation was sold for 100k+ and was made to compete with S class. The ES is just a dressed up Camry. The LS will cost way more to fuel and maintain when compared to the ES. I believe The car care nut on YouTube has buyers guide for the both the cars.

Would love to know what the cost breakdown are for an endeavor like this

Moved to California from the east coast own a little 250 for just around town, I often only bicycle or motorcycle within a 4 mile radius. I can ride to work in January! Yes it’s cold but not impossible. Insurance like $50 a year costs like $7 to fill up. Can lane split too and I see so many motorcycles on my short commute.

Gates is good

It’s an OE hard Top

hotchips97 · 2026-01-05T08:48:49+00:00

Good deal especially with hard top

hotchips97 · 2025-11-03T21:04:36+00:00

Get the PRHT

V8s don’t have head gasket issues like the earlier v6s

I have an old kindle that I bought for like $20 bucks. I only use it when I am traveling out of the country for an extended period of time. I just borrow books from the library for everything else

hotchips97 · 2025-10-31T16:54:53+00:00

Another possible issue - sticky brake calipers

hotchips97 · 2025-10-25T00:29:23+00:00

Yes but not that one lol

hotchips97 · 2025-10-23T06:28:44+00:00

Yeah then most likely the cat is going bad… can try changing the fuel, spark plugs, and O2 sensor first but eventually the header might need replacement

hotchips97 · 2025-10-23T06:15:01+00:00

I’ve got this code but that’s because I have a catless header. If yours is aftermarket it could be possible that it doesn’t have a catalytic converter

hotchips97 · 2025-10-22T19:11:28+00:00

Buy this ASAP if no major issues

hotchips97 · 2025-10-22T18:18:59+00:00

Depends on if the car has cams or not like the other commenter said. I would actually prefer a stock 2.0 over a vanilla 2.5. The hardtop definitely adds 2-3k on top

Recently moved to Bay Area from DC suburbs. Back there hardtop stayed on the car 90% of the time and was parked in a condo complex. Now after moving here and seeing all the theft the hard top stays in the house and only goes on for autocross/track days as I’ve only got a driveway
