Too much work.
I'm trying to be hip and cool like all the youths. So I've just started to expect everything spoon fed to me.

Hmm. Just read that there was some data breach recently: 45 Million Accounts Hacked At Some Of The Biggest Car Forums
Of note, one of the VerticalScope brands is TSXClub, VerticalScope.com
So it might be worth changing your password over there if you have an account.

It's like the special needs version of Acurazine but only for TSXs.

Hey stranger!
I guess I'll get in touch with EquuSearch and have them call off the search party.

Just bought a new HVAC Display from a 2011+
Got it on ebay for $38.. may seem trivial for most of you guys, but those 2009-2010 TSX's know the ridiculous reflection problem all too well! 2011+ got a different design to help mitigate so much reflection. I've been watching ebay for like a year now, but most of them were going for like $100. Anyways, Im excited

Could it be the cover that goes directly in front of the LCD? Maybe 2011 has a polarized one or something. I've never heard of the issue so I'm just taking a guess.The LCD display for mine is pretty basic and still looks bad when there's a glare (especially since I've moved mine lower and don't have the plastic screen over it).

And I haven't checked the specs, but I expect the clear plastic piece on the 2011+ has some type of AR or AG coating. I'm just happy to have gotten one for $38
Burning Brakes
I got my driveside wheel bearing replaced for free by the dealer! It's better to be lucky than good.

I just ordered a 2012 display for $38, better to be vigilant than lazy!
anybody here know anything about noises?
So I'm back in DC from my drive to santa Fe. I drove my wagon there, flew back and will fly back to Santa Fe in a month or so to pick my mom (and my car) back up.
Meanwhile I'm driving her mint condition 2002 RX300 AWD with 33k miles. All maintenance done mostly on time and just had a service done.
Periodically (about once every couple drives), I get a "brrrrt" noise accompanied by a slight vibration and a little twitch to the right. The noise is very short (less than a second) and always happens at low speed from a rolling start under slight acceleration. Frequently it'll do it when turning. Sometimes it won't do it for 100 miles, at other times it'll do it twice in 5 miles. I don't remember hearing it before I got an alignment about 500 miles ago. My sister drove the car a few weeks thereafter and was the first to mention it. I couldn't replicate it until I started driving it regularly.
If I had to guess I'd say it was coming from the front - maybe the right.
Any ideas?

Obvious question #1: are the lug nuts tight?
#2: how's the tire pressures? Could it be a slightly low tire causing ABS to kick in?

No DIY lol
1. Watch ebay for 2011+ display
2.Unclip old display
3.Clip in new display
It's that easy!!

Really hard to say.
The "twitch to the right" is what I keep thinking about for symptom to work with.
If that really is happening, I'd be inclined to think about the brakes on that side hanging up or something. The accompanying noise is what made made me think ABS.
Is it a metallic noise like it could be a bent brake shield that's vibrating?

I was really expecting it to be a centering ring or something on the winter wheels but no such luck.

Ooh. Gear meshing noise could be the AWD?
With my old Tacoma, if I didn't exercise the 4WD regularly, it would sometimes make a grinding noise like that when going into 4L again.
I'm not familiar with AWD, but is there a way to lock it in place so it's active and then go do some tight turns (donuts!) in a dirt lot or something? Get everything moving and lubed up?
Although, it probably doesn't work that way.
but the intermittent thing is odd. I'd think it would do it at startup and after sitting a while, if that were the case. Which brings me back to thinking ABS. If the system were thinking that another wheel was slipping and it started engaging the front, could that be it? Again though, I don't know this Lexus AWD - if it's all time or on demand like that.

It's okay, I guess.
EDIT: That white car (ILX? TLX? RLX???) is parked in my spot.

My name tag says "King of France" but that doesn't mean I'm royalty.
That guy in the first picture has a shirt that say "Houston" but I'm pretty sure we don't live in him. And Whitney's still dead, so...
Maybe things aren't always that identifiable McYoung.
How you been Simon?

What if we do live in his anusverse and we just don't know it
My car is broken lol..... wreckers bent my axle when they towed it and I went on a "cruise" so I kinda messed it up even more... It makes a nasty ass sound so I'm not even driving it anymore until insurance approves the repair. In other new, my PCD's should be here tomorrow so I can brap brap and annoy the fuck out of my neighbors when I head out to work

Are we Klingons?
Damn dude, sorry to hear that. Gotta keep that street racer lifestyle in check man; or this is karma's (carma's?) way of telling you to forget about the TSX for a minute and get the Odyssey running.
Have fun pissing off the old people!

The more I thought about it, it did sound like the ABS kicking in. Yesterday we had a bit of torrential downpour so I found a nice empty parking lot and activated the brakes. Sure enough the ABS kicking in made the same noise. And I just had the braked done before the noise started. So off to the brake place. Thanks guise. You guise are really good.
