What's the difference?

Darkened grill to avoid the "Jeep" look.

 

 

This site provides info on things you can do yourself to maintain and improve your RX 300

Difficulty level ranges from 1=easy to 5=very hard

Much of the material is from procedures I've done with a liberal reference to relevant threads on the Club Lexus Web Site.
Thank you Club Lexus and all of its members.

This site was created to provide helpful info on maintaining, fixing, learning and enjoying your RX 300. I believe people have increased satisfaction with their vehicle if they understand more about it. Even if you never do any work yourself, at least you will have an idea about what it takes.

As of Spring 2009, my '99 RX 300 is still on the road with 150,000 miles!


Winter Warm Up

This was one of the coldest winter mornings here in Boston. Feet and engine are warming up before going to work!

 

Don't drive faster than
your angel can fly!
