@@wolverine350zz much appreciate it bro! Trying to keep this OG cars on the road!

@@jtftw360 Thanks for the question. I went to a trusted local shop. I normally don’t go to the dealerships just my preference though. So luckily I didn’t have any dampness well not yet. I used Motul oil for the drain and fill its what I did. It was worth car does run smoother till this day. Thanks for watching!

@@jaiyanand2347 nice it appears you guys got the better version of the 9th Gen corolla. Here the only one that has those options minus folding mirrors was the corolla LE. They are great cars super reliable.

@@GroupBEJ25 Yeah a corolla will never let us down!

@@Building_Maintenance_Journey thanks… much appreciate it!

@@Building_Maintenance_Journey thanks… much appreciate it!

@@Building_Maintenance_Journey awesome thanks for watching the video. I have actually always wanted to venture out to facilities management someday. Yes our building is only 12 stories high but well manageable, built in 1988.

@@Sooflojoe got it it’s such a shame since like you said they look good lowered. As far as vibration I have been blessed so far very slight vibration from a dead stop for about a second of two. Before I go back stock I might try HKS coilovers as someone else had suggested.

@@RayodX got it… yes it wasn’t easy for me at all but I had to tie a rope on one end of the strap to pull it through especially underneath the seat. It’s a pain but there is a lot of pulling to get it to where you want.

@@maxjulien8394 nice small world didn’t … yes I frequent it a lot less traffic than GW pkwy.

@@teggie6853 I hope you are enjoying your retirement. Thanks for your service. We are only following your foot steps! Will try make them when I can, thanks.

@@FCReviews nice I would love that smooth ride feel… for now I will sacrifice the look for that till I get completely tired of it.

@@GroupBEJ25 oh its great man. I do like how those Subaru wheels look on your ride. I will be filming and putting my ride up on my channel soon.

@@noahh1997 absolutely I can do that. Hopefully one of this weekends and will post it up. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@GroupBEJ25 thanks that awesome!

@@noahh1997 Thanks for watching, not a bad deal at all, I got mine for 11k with 136k miles now granted that’s when car pricing was high. If the dealer will take care of most of the issues I think it’s a good deal. If you can please ask for a car-fax history or you can get it yourself. This will at least show you the kind of life this car has had and how many owners etc. Also if you can check the oil, see if it’s low or it’s super dirty most of this can be tell and tell signs of the health of the car. Lastly a test drive drop down the windows and just listen for an unusal sounds. 80K is good miles for that year.

great cars but that's prob a little over priced. need to be closer to 8500-10000 in nice shape. was able to get mine with 150k miles 2007 rwd for 6000 in 2023

@@ChoppazOG that’s what a lot of other people have been saying, it’ll be ready this week I’ll check it out and see then

@@GroupBEJ25 thanks!

@@ChoppazOG absolutely and to be honest I actually don’t want the stock feel, reason why I am starting to not to like the Tru Hart is my Subaru has Tein coilovers and it’s bad when the Subaru is more comfortable than the Lexus. What coilovers are you running?

@@GroupBEJ25 i bought it with amazon coil overs and they felt blown out so i changed to Megan Racing. They ride good but like you said they take bumps and dips hard and noisy inside i was very close to ordering the Tein's. just not fun as a daily driver for me with a 75 mile daily to work . Im torn between getting a early 2000's Ls430 or a Lx470 for my daily. i also own a 2000 gs300 and a 2004 sequoia limited guess you could say i like lexus/toyota.

@@ChoppazOG ahhh got it interesting, that sucks I have heard stories of ppl that haven’t had good luck with the AWD GS being lowered. I just hate the stock ride height. Yep you definitely like Lexus/Toyota great cars though. I would love to get an LS too while retaining the GS as well.

Stock shocks with lowering springs maybe

@@henryreyes8947 I was actually thinking about that. Might pursue that if I don’t get Tein. Thanks

@@wheely7754 sorry please clarify, how much for?

Hey, how you doing?I'm interested in your vehicle.I just wanna know how much is it

@@wheely7754 doing well,thanks. Unfortunately it’s not for sale but this year model depending on miles can vary from 8-13k.

@@Saymooon1000 on Amazon please copy the writing below it should direct you to the actual lips Brand: PULips 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 5 LXGS08VSPFAD V-Spec Style Front Bumper Lip, Poly-Urethane, Flexible, Unfinished (Hand Prep And Painting Require), compatible with Lexus GS 2008-2011

@@j.b9346 absolutely no problem,hope to share more about my current location. Sweet unfortunately where I work we don’t have a union. They tried it back in the 2000’s but failed.

@@JoseAlvarezLopez-c5k hey how’s it going thanks for watching. For me it has just been job experience currently 17 years in the trade but have worked on chillers 7 of those years. So unfortunately I can’t recommend book or websites as mine has been in the field through out.

I love how great the widebody has been moulded to the body

@@nicholusmagak9182 shukran sana… it’s a Seibon carbon fiber hood but painted of course.

@@nicholusmagak9182 yes wanted it to be more slick and factory looking. Downside for that I can’t run any fender liners unfortunately.

@@GroupBEJ25 For sure I'm trying to get the seibon CWII for my 07 Ningeweza kupitia Maryland to see this gem I would 😫

@@GroupBEJ25 Ahhhh, it's a bummer but it is what is it. Does the bonnet come with covers for the exposed sections or do you get them after market? I'm asking because my car will be an ushago car and rain is also a thing and I'm not trying to have the intake suck is all the water 😂

Thanks for watching. So I haven’t changed the mirror lights those are still stock from how I got it.

@@GroupBEJ25 ohh ok I see, thanks!

Nice that’s wzup… last time I was in Nairobi I saw quit a few of them foresters all hooked up!

Thanks for subscribing… and thanks for watching!!!!

Yes indeed representing Kenya. You are Kenyan as well???

Much appreciate it… and thanks for watching!!!

Replace the PVC valve

Thank you!

Thanks for watching the video.. so that’s like 85k miles price sounds about right at 15k. Now you can always negotiate especially if you have cash in hand. I would ask for 13k and see where it goes from there. But those are good miles.

@@GroupBEJ25 thanks for the suggestion just an update I’m still negotiating owner came down to 13.5k. Will let you know once I finalize . Thanks in advance 😊

Oh man so sorry unfortunately I even looked for it in my deleted videos but can’t find it. Since that was an aftermarket PVC, I will tru and get an authentic one from Toyota or Lexus and replace that way I have an opportunity for another video. BUT current one is working perfectly. Originally I was burning about 2.5 quarts of oil and went down to half a quart after pvc replacement . Later I changed all spark plugs and replaced 3 bad coils. Oil burning issue went to (0). But another thing I decided to do instead of the 5k oil change intervals I do mine around 4k miles given the miles on the vehicle. I hope you are able to resolve your oil consumption issue. If I do make another video I will update you.

Ahhh got it thanks for the heads up. Amazingly just read a similar thing in fb group on the GS’s. Glad you were able to sort yours up and got another one. So far so good currently at 187k miles.

Thank you!

Nice hope you get yourself a good one. As far as physical I would inspect doors make sure they all close well without being forced/gaps between the doors sometimes it can be tell and tell signs it’s been wrecked. But best this is carfax to be honest with you. You can also check the oil level and of course a good drive with the radio/music off windows down to listen to the car.

@@GroupBEJ25 Thank you 👍🏻 I'm in Malaysia, we don't have Carfax or an equivalent system just a lot of gangsters in the used vehicle trade 😁

@@Mugairyuiai ahhh I see. Well at the minimum a good test drive can tell you too if the car stays straight on the road also can check the wear in the tires see if it’s wearing out even.

Definately same numbers it varies between 15-19 mostly at 19. Got it I have heard good things about pennzoil. I run Motul 5W-40.

Much appreciate it bro. Yes I went with Tru Hart coilovers street/track, they are honestly not bad smooth on the hwys. Ride is ofcourse slightly stiffer than before but handling has improved tremendously. I can take corners at much more higher speeds and car is planted to the ground. This cars are notorious for vibration while lowered from what I hear from other ppl but mine does not do that. Maybe is because I only lowered it by an inch.

@@GroupBEJ25Thanks for the input bro! Yea I’ve been debating on whether I’m either getting BCs or Tru Harts. Maybe I’ll give the Tru Harts a try.

I agree it all depends too with where you go,I thought they were just trying to make a quick buck.

I actually got them from Amazon ( Capitauto ) but I made sure I placed year and make model. Yes at first I didn’t like them the first week but they settled down well with the shape of the original seat. I might get the rear soon.

I agree just different ways of doing things..but I see your point. Yes I later on cleaned the terminals with a brush I had inside the house just could not find it that day. Silicon grease I will try that thanks for the input. For some reason I always forget Walmart it’s right outside my house too.

Got it thanks for the information. So far I don’t have any vibrations 2 months in and still good. I only lowered it by an inch but also went with a 18” wheel maybe that’s why it doesn’t vibrate not sure but car is good no vibrations at all.

That’s good. It definitely helps not having an aggressive drop. Before getting ride of my 3GS I adjusted the coils to mild drop it helped so much. Honestly after the experience I’m scared to lower my 4gs 😂

@@alvarohernandez4225 lol I don’t blame you. I contemplated on lowering mine for a while till I gained the courage.

👔

Agreed definitely rookie mistake on my part. Thanks for the input!!!

Thanks for watching. Yes actually we are due for an upgrade later on this year/beginning of next year. Correct well the logs is just for about everything. Notes/any issues that occur. Helps up keep track of the central plant activities.

Yes 18inch wheels with a 245/40/18 tire.

Thank you much appreciate it!!!

The lowering problem affects only the AWD platform, BUT mine does not vibrate. Reason I made the video to explain maybe what I did right not to vibrate. Mine is only lowered an inch maybe an inch and a half give and take. Car is smooth no vibrations.

Great question personally I do it every 50k miles. When it comes to years that depends on how many miles you are putting on your car. It can be 2 yrs and maybe only put up 10k miles. Personally I go based on mileage.

Maybe I am missing something but it stays right in the middle. Will drive it to work tomorrow and monitor but I have yet to see the needle go past the middle.

@@GroupBEJ25 Yeah, mine always stays at the middle, thats why I noticed it. You should check your coolant levels, if it is low then it is probably leaking coolant and a blown head gasket.

@@pasm8917 yea dude nothing wrong with my car. Normal operating temperature I get it if goes above the middle but that’s where it staying. Coolant level is good as well no weird smells either such as coolant leaks etc. Just drove it on heavy traffic with AC on no issues.

Actually I did at the shop that installed the coil overs. It’s just that the coil overs I have can be used for track/ street use. She is not smooth like butter like the stock suspension but not that bad for coils either.

Got it… yes I was scared too but I only decided to go that route after the stock suspension started to leak. If I ever do run into issues I will post them. So far she so solid.
