so i hear a brake noise on the way home from work and finally have to pull "Alexus" into dad's garage(mine is full of racecars i should be working on). she's gonna need front and rear pads and rear rotors, i'm just gonna turn the fronts. i also found what i thought was a wheel bearing is the fact that both rear tires are just about square. i then changed the plugs(AC Platinum), dropped in a K&N, started making a new intake duct, pulled the throttle body and egr valve for cleaning(see pics). i figured while the throttle body is off, i'm going to put a lower temp thermostat and for now, instead of buying the Milzy modified heater tube i'm just going to loop a hose and bypass it.that's it for tonight.
this is how gummed up your throttle body gets. if you can't do it yourself, you need to take it to somebody that can!
i know my pictures suck. sorry
