  1. Not positive, but I think there's two settings on the laser cruise...one for laser, one for regular cruise. I think it involves pushing the lever forward and holding for a couple seconds.
  2. Yes, it's simple. Check this out: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167666
  3. I agree...sounds like the alternator is dying...
  4. Can't wait to see one of these tuned up.
  5. Remember how you did this for future reference...it's useful if you ever valet park.
  6. It's just like the 30k, plus the timing belt if you haven't had it done. Did you do the 30k?
  7. Welcome to Toyota Owner's Club! I don't have much to tell you on the stereo, except I'd love to see some pics once you get it done. Sounds cool!
  8. I wonder if you could fit a 2JZGTE in it? :D :D :D
  9. Did you try turning your dimmer switch all the way up?
  10. Did the roof rack removal help? There's also a way to adjust the roof rack so that it doesn't make the noise...have you tried that?
  11. Good luck! And as you've tried to get this fixed while it was under warranty, try to get handled this last time under warranty too. It's worth a shot!
  12. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the new 4Runner. 4Runners are fantastic, durable, reliable vehicles. May you have many happy years of driving!
  13. I don't think you can just "activate" the feature if you don't have it already.
  14. The Prius (or perhaps the Insight...). Maybe it'll make the next revision of the list!
  15. Good luck!! A possible simple thing (although it may be short term if the fuel pump is on the way out) is to try and replace the fuel filter if you think there's a fuel problem.
  16. Almost missed that one...happy birthday!! :)
  17. It's definitely been very influential, right up there with Caravans and F150s. What questions do you have?
  18. Ouch...17 city. However, unfortunately, it's definitely still new, but you should be getting progressively better mileage soon. What have you been doing to improve fuel economy? Mileage is adversely affected by cold because people have a tendency to have more accessories running when it's cold...heater will always be on, seat heaters will be on, you may let the car warm up longer before driving, etc.
  19. Stop leak would at best be a temporary fix....
  20. The Supra was supposed to return in 2000. Then in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005...now 2007. As far as I know, it's still not been decided on if it's coming back. I vaguely remember one of the execs at Toyota saying they would not "enter the horsepower race" because it's simply not a profitable category with such low production numbers. Unfortunately for those of us who love the Supra, this seems true. Unless you considered the concept Lexus LF-A the replacement for the Supra. It's only going to be $100k or so. Another thing to watch out for is the new Lexus IS coupe (LF-C concept). This year, the IS350 sedan is 308 horsepower...imagine what it'll be once Lexus builds the IS in a coupe with a hybrid powertrain. Zoom! I like what you've done so far. Get the body kit painted, and it'll be good looking car! What kind of mechnical modifications do you have?
  21. Yay!! Another person in the Supra category!!
  22. Does the intermittent light come on at specific times (say, when you're going around a curve, or the car is leaning somehow)?
  23. I'm surprised you had trouble with the Michelins...they're usually a great tire. You'll be happy with the Potenzas, though.
  24. Congrats on the free car! The good news is that there have been more Corollas built in the world than any other car, so you have a good chance of finding parts. It looks like it's about $80 on this site: http://www.car-stuff.com/toyotaparts.htm
  25. Seriously, guys...5k with regular oil is ok unless you're doing stuff like the Baja 500 every morning on the way to work. If you read the manual, there's even options for extended mileage service intervaks like 7500 miles. Toyota wouldn't recommend anything that will damage the car. They've got a reputation to maintain, after all.
