Thanks guys. I paid $80 and moved my exhaust to the side. I also installed the afe cai and i'm loving it. i noticed it's louder around 2000rpm than 3000rpm. it quiets down then gets loud again around 4000rpm. i also noticed it's not as loud from standstill if i drive normal. if i'm...

yeah i read through all that already.... i'm still going through the other one...

yeah maybe that's the route i have to go with. any bay area folks around here know a local shop that does a good job? i live in oakland but work in san jose so anywhere in between will work.

haha yeah... i forgot to mention that i didn't want to go with gibson because it's a rear exist system. i guess the only option is magnaflow for direct bolt on but it's fairly expensive. since i'm not really looking for sound and performance improvement, i was hoping i can just change the...

I used to actively mod my honda accord in college and thought i would eventually get over it. 10 years later, the mod bug is back i'm getting back it again. i would say i'm avg on the skill level so i don't usually take things apart. things i've ordered since last night: - afe CAI -...

if you did it at a toyota dealership, you should be able to find the record online at this site Toyota Owners - Official Toyota Owners Website

they mentioned it to me when i got my oil change on friday but i said i'll come back because it'll take them 3-4 hours. they need to shave down the pedal. you should get your car back on the same day if you schedule an appointment.

i was looking more at the website for the service intervals. i have a dumb question: Is there any difference between the limited-slip differential oil and the rear differential oil? or they share the same tank? the top section where it lists necessary change says limited-slip differential...

this is the link i use to decide what to change and what not to change since it's straight from toyota. Toyota Parts and Service i don't see it telling us to change the differential oil or mess with the transfer case so that's why i never did it. i think i'll still do it for peace of mind...

thanks guys! i'll get it done next time my car is in the shop. i'm over the days of changing my own oil since i don't have a garage anymore after i moved from tx to ca. i guess i'll be doing transmission oil, coolant and differential oil all together. am i forgetting anything?

Hi Guys, I have about 75K on my runner and i've been doing minimal but regular maintenance to keep the truck in good shape. I say minimal because it's one of the perks i really enjoy about the runner. it's a low maintenance car. I've just been doing the oil change, shaft re-torque, shaft...

Thanks! I'll email DDM for a exchange. I'm in west Oakland along 880 between 7th and west grand. How about you?

My wife surprised me by buying me the ddm kit. The problem is she read a 3rd gen thread and got the h4 hi/Lo set. I'm not sure but I think I need to get the h11 right? I also only want to do the low beam since I don't want to mess with the hi beam and fog light reflectors. Anything elae im...

i have the factory crossbar and it doesn't look like it'll fit into the fairing clips. does anyone have experience with this? any other suggestions? i would like to tilt my moonroof but the noise is pretty unbearable... thanks!

thanks for the comment. did you notice the space between the metal/rubber piece i was talking about? did i mess up anything by adding 2-3 washers so all the pieces are secured?
