New 400h Owner

[g00se]

Hi all,

New Berkshire based owner here..  I picked up a 2008 low mileage (49k) 400h a few weeks ago, and am slowing adjusting to it and its reactions from people!

Looking forward to getting some good ideas and info from you all..  as well as contributing as best I can :)

I have already:-

Swapped out the 90s style wiper blades for retrofit aero style blades.

Changed all the interior/number plate/sidelight yellow bulbs for white LEDs.

Replaced the paper air filter with a K&N drop in.

Fitted the Lexus plastic rear bumper protector.

Given it a good machine polish and buff (albeit there's still more to be done, as its spent 8 years street parked in London!!)

Next to be done is the front brakes (MTEC disks/Brembo pads)..  and a wheel refurb/colour change (do 19" RX 450h alloys fit the 400h?!?)

Anyhoo. enough about me..  and howdy!

Hi Matt and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer left over.

We recommend you spend a couple of mins looking over the rules of the LOC, we will be asking questions later.

Welcome to the club. What Mike has not pointed out is that you are expected to post pics of your newly bought RX.

I am indebted to my learned friend, doing 3 things at once never a good recipe.

Hi, What difference did it make with KN filter? Sound, performance or same thing?

 

Thanks

No noticeable performance increase..  and just the tiniest smidge of more V6 noise.

It may just be me and my personal preference..  but I've done filters and exhausts in almost every car I've owned for the last 20+ years. Though admittedly this is my first Hybrid!
