How many K's has you car done? Those plugs should be good for 100K. Maybe try some Iridium plugs. They help with fuel economy & power. Denso SK20R11 or NGK BKR6EIX11 are your best value for money options. |

Genuine fuel filters are about half that from memory. You can take the complete throttle body off to clean both sides. Its held on by 3 bolts & has a metal gasket which can be reused. Here's a couple of DIY on cleaning the MAF http://www.tezzaworld.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4068 & http://z4.invisionfree.com/lexusaltezzaclu...topic=2050&st=0 |
