So essentially don't ever think about engine repairs with this thing? After labor time, it's probably cheaper to buy a new car!?
trust me....if i thought nos would be safe i would do it first day....ill ditch some cats ...and stock muffs....but dealer cost on a long block 350 is $18,000.......THATS COST.....!
Great info... don't have any lexi's with vdim but just cuz reading this whole post that has nothing to do with me paid off in the end by learning something most people won't know... +rep

as it states in the 2006 avalon owners manual ....start the car with the parking prake on ....then foot brake twice....(keep the foot brake down)....then parking brake twice (keep it down )and repeat till skid light is on the dash.....it will reset when you restart the car.....who loves you.......? : )
and then you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around..
that's what it's all about.
lexietech, great post. And guys/gals he's not kidding about the unrestrained power and burning tires. In the Canadian Globe and Mail IS350 write up, the IS engineer turned off the VDIM and layed down 27 yards of rubber and did doughnuts!
That's great that a light comes on and all, but can somebody actually do this then do a donut or something? I won't believe it until I see it.
Did you expect I was going to go out in the first freezing weather of the season and drift around the town square running from the cops in the middle of the night or something?

OK spill it. How did you watch Starwars while the car was moving?

well heres the deal with donuts.....its different to induce it....the 350 only comes with tortion rear end.....the lsd is a option on the 250.....which makes donuts easy....the 350 dif in fractions of seconds transfers torque to right and left...you can do them....but its really hard to get the sweet SNAPPY ones where the inner front wheel is stationary......
