Not too much for a QX though. Time for a trade up Andy.

The QX is in the near future after the minivan for sure.

what year?

 

[la_fx35]

I have my eyes on the 2nd Gen. Just love the body line.

 

[Ed@TunerStore]

How about modded 3rd generation?

[la_fx35]

Wait, 3rd Gen? Right. I keep forgot about the QX4.

1st Gen: QX4 (1996 - 2003)
2nd Gen: QX56 (2003 - 2010)
3rd Gen: QX56 (2010 - present)

Sorry, it is the 3rd Gen that I'm attracted to :smile (2):
That is a very nice looking 3rd Gen QX56. Love the color too.

Just never get rid of your sick FX Andy

 

[DaveButcher]

And if you do, I'll take your BBK and front bumper

 

[la_fx35]

No, the FX stays. The minivan still runs great though :smile (2):

Good. I really like the QX that came before this newest one. Would that be the 2nd gen? I think the one posted above looks too much like a milk van

Those Russians and their $$$$......

You will never get the QX because your Toyota sienna will run for another 500,000 miles. Hehe

 

[la_fx35]

Hahaha, my wife love her minivan!

 

[Logan]

Andy & Andy's desire for a QX or the minivan, what will the Mrs. Choose?

 

[sir21]

^ sienna. No brainer

 

[la_fx35]

The Sienna runs prefect right now and she love it, so the chance for the QX is very slim.

 

[sir21]

A few of my family members have siennas. Good solid van.
Benefits: better mpg, more practical, less worries about wear/tear.
Cons: not as cool

 

[aiya]

And didn't pman run the FX OEM 20's on his Sienna too?

in the olden days it was pretty common for a car with a healthy cam to hunt around a bit and surge slightly at idle, kinda went with the territory of rumpity rump rump choppiness from a cam with a lot of lift and overlap... I would think modern cars that are finely tuned would get around this mostly, but maybe it's possible that with a bigger more radical cam that the idle quality may never be stellar or perfectly smooth? with a larger cam the engine can sometimes make very little vacuum at idle and not be rock solid stable at idle, especially when trying to keep the idle at well under 1k rpms too...

if you hold the rpms up to ~1k does it stabilize?

I'd like a vid with the idle set that high please! Give me fair warning so I can get a towel though.

Its very interesting, at 1,200 RPM the tach will bounce from 800 to 1,400 K consistently very odd. Cam does not sound like it has that much lope but it runs like other cars I have had that have cam overlap issues.

Nice. I need sound clips bad, hard enough just to shoot a few stills......
