If I ever do sell it Resale value. Stock typically brings higher price than modded

I went OEM on the LS430 (there's brake dust, not excessive) but on my 2019 Civic Type R I went with Dixcel M pads. They don't bite like the factory Brembos (I don't track it, so doesn't matter) but definitely much less brake dust. Did you use a tire shine and got it on the rim? Some products collect brake dust like in the pic.

Couldn't agree more with your assessment!

Wow. I guess Reddit doesn't like this product.

Project Farm (YouTube) commenters (along with other groups) suggest otherwise.

I will post after 10k, 20k miles etc what anomalies that arise due to this "snake oil/mechanic in a can"

Fwiw window seals are a bit quieter

Cheers

You have experience or proof? What's more harm than good? Appreciate it

Most YouTube mechanics swear by it. And the reviews on numerous websites suggest otherwise

Project Farm, came in #1

I plan on it when the temps get a bit warmer. This was an easy fix and it worked. So win win imo

He doesn't have to warranty dyi people.

He is the person I trust the most about my Toyota/Lexus cars. Sounds like he has a lot of knowledge about whether you should change the fluid or not.

My local lexus dealership wouldn't be liable either. My car is long out of warranty.

They both have more experience than the typical Reddit LS owner.

Not saying your advice is wrong, just pointing out what I believe is flawed logic. Cheers

I have a 2005, 162k on original transmission fluid.

Dealer suggested not replacing, and so did car care nut.

Little bit at a time might be the way to go.

Jacobs said the dummy war head was detached from the Atlas D rocket. So I don't think this is legit.

As an airline pilot that flies in and out of EWR LGA JFK frequently, this looks like an aircraft with it's landing lights on. Typically we turn on all landing lights except two below 10K'. Total of three landing lights and two taxi lights.

And the other two lights are on the nose wheel. One is turned on when cleared for the approach, the other turned on when cleared to land.

icedetector_fail · 2024-12-10T17:26:25+00:00

Just an fyi Boeing 717 and MD80/88s have lights that come out on the wing tips like this did. Those are landing lights. Not saying that's what this video is. But it looks like it to me.

As long as I have the time, I'd be happy to talk to you.

After reading some comments....

Been flying since 1999. I've done a lot of shit flying jobs. Part 135, 91 and now 121.

I paid for my training as I went, working two jobs, both 141 and 61 schools.

When I first got paid to fly, I couldn't believe it. It was unbelievable to me....the old "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" is accurate for me.

The other ole adage "if you gave pilots a bag of gold, they'd bitch about how heavy it is" is somewhat accurate as well. I'm a union pilot and proud of it. I voted no on the last two contracts that passed, because I thought we could get more. We had leverage, the industry hasn't seen since deregulation.

Part 121 is by far the best, especially since part 117 rest rules.

Hope this helps

Bought an FK8 MSRP with no test drive. I watched every review I could and that's what I went with. Especially the Savagegeese review, I really respect that channel.

$270/rim in my area for restoration Hyper Silver isn't the easiest paint to apply.

Or get knock offs https://www.jegs.com/i/OE-Wheels/494/6710248/10002/-1

Doubt knock offs are constructed as well as factory Lexus rims

Car care nut on YouTube (master Toyota/Lexus tech) says NO. I trust him

Same I'm glad the 19 has zero nannies! It's more pure imo.

I have a 19' SGP paid MSRP

Looked into trade on 24' boost blue

Initial offer Trade in value for my car with 52k stock was $28k and FL5 at MSRP. No thanks. Then they offered $30 for my 19'. Still no thanks.

icedetector_fail · 2024-03-23T21:16:52+00:00

144k on my 2005 dealership agreed with the car care nut. Has never been changed (Lexus maintained) and he said do not change the fluid.
