    Still here - sort of

    Hey All, just wanted to drop in and say "Hi." I hope everyone is doing well, and that their LS' are running good. I still have mine, and still love driving it - even though it's starting to need a little more attention than what I have been able to give to it. In the last couple years, I've...

    Just wanted to drop in and say Hi to everyone

    I'm a walking zombie right now between work and school, and my time with all my forum boards has been pretty much nil. Sorry I couldn't make the get-together last month - really wanted to be able to do that to reconnect with some of ya. I hope you all are doing ok and keeping your LS' running...

    Blast from the Past

    Can't believe it's been a year since I've been to the site <hangs head in shame>, and also can't believe the changes! Wow! Hope those of you that have been around as long (or in most cases longer) than I have are doing well with everything. Welcome to those have joined since I've been away...

    Cooling System Double-Whammy or Domino Effect

    Of course it had to be right after my extended warranty expired - but it's still pretty much my fault. I'll explain - About 6 months ago while driving to work, the temp gauge immediately spiked to max, kicked off the Check Temperature warning (and associated P1299 code of joy), but did not...

    Been WAY too long

    Sorry guys, I'm just getting back on the grid. Work has been killing me, and everytime I would plan on hopping on LVC to get back in the swing of things something would come up and I'd never get to it. Looks like I missed a ton of good threads I'm going to have to catch up on. I've not made...

    Tru-Blu's 2012 Calendar Entry Poll

    Help me pick a winner (if that's possible). It's not the best location, but is all I can come up with right now. Rollin may want to kill me, but I'll try to find a better locale before Sunday. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 Thanks in advance for your opinions! Tru

    Another one with an issue after RotorPro installation

    Ok, guys. I finally got around to putting my Rotor Pro brakes on last weekend. Threw the G2 Caliper paint on as well. One bummer was that the thickness of the new pads pushed the caliper face right up against my aftermarket wheels. I couldn't really tell HOW close it was, but it looked like...

    SCT X3 with Torrie Tunes - first impressions

    Uploaded the 3 tune files I bought from Torrie to the X3 device, and decided to go out at lunch to program a custom tune into the LS. Decided to start with "Aggressive." Being cautious, I went ahead and pulled the cooling fan fuse, as well as turned off the NAV head unit (even though I'm...

    My 20 minute ride home turned into over an hour due to this

    I took the pic from my phone as I was driving by. The traffic jam was due to all the rubber-necking, and freed up as people got past it. I didn't want to be a rubber-necker myself so I could only snap one pic as I had to start speeding up to keep moving with traffic. The other side of the...

    Angel Eyes Operation 101

    I was going to do a poll for this, but thought I would just post the questions and see what responses come back. Now that I have my angels in, I've been trying to figure out the best way to use/run them. If I leave the lights in Auto mode, they're on only when the headlights are on, which...

    Coating on headlight lenses

    Don't know why I didn't notice this before - what kind of coating is on the headlight lenses? Is it different between Gen 1 and Gen 2? I just noticed that I have some spots were the coating seems to be gone or eroded. It's only on the black brow part of the lense - not on the clear portion at...

    C'mon, give me a brake!

    When I put my new rotors/pads on (Rotorpros kit), I'm also going to paint the calipers (G2 caliper paint). I know several of you have just done it with the calipers on, but I've decided that I'm going to completely remove all 4 of them to make the painting easier. So, the question is - has...

    Sometimes it's good to be bad

    Today was a pretty crappy day at work - although I did get my wheel locks and hub rings in. So, in the middle of the afternoon I said "screw it, I'm going home." It was raining pretty hard most of the day, and I knew I should wait - but I decided to be bad and mount the wheels. I couldn't...

    Initial crappy pics of new wheel on my baby

    As mentioned in a previous thread, I said that I would try to put one of my new wheels on the LS to check the hub fit and see how it looked on the car. I should have grabbed one of our better cameras, but I didn't have much time and was scrambling to get it done and put the factory wheel back...

    Mission Impossible: OEM HID

    It seems like trying to find a set of Gen 2 OEM HID's is pretty near impossible - at least without spending around $1800. I'm kickin' myself for not jumping at the set that went for $225.00 each less than a year ago. Of course, I didn't want or need them back then. It's like this -...

    I Hate People

    They say bad things come in 3's..... I've had 2 on the LS in one day, so I can't wait to see what number 3 is. #1 - At a complete stop on the expressway due to construction traffic. Got tagged on the bumper from a clueless lady behind me who wasn't paying attention to aforementioned...

    Lowerin' time

    I bought my Eibach's last winter, and will probably be putting them on my '06 in a couple of weeks. I've gone back and reread a lot of the threads where people have installed them, and still had a few questions regarding alignment after they're on. 1. Is it true that the car won't ever be...

    Winter Floor Mats

    I've been procrastenating a bit in trying to find some decent winter floor mats to replace the ultra-skinny OEM carpet ones that came with my '06. Now that the white crap has started to show itself, I thought I better get on the stick and get something in the car. Unfortunately, the OEM...

    Question for the Northerner Detailing Gurus

    Pek, Kustomizing, and whoever else is inclined to answer on this: I live in Michigan and winters weather can get pretty low on the temp guage (mind you, not as low as some of you deal with), and was wondering about my detailing stuff. I have it on a shelving unit that sits next to the inside...

    FIPK install question

    I did some initial searching on this, but will readily admit that I didn't search every single result that came back. So big apologies on my part if I should have searched a bit more before asking this. I'll be installing the K&N FIPK sometime this week, and I thought I saw a post where it...
