Nice pics of your ride B) In the future, you may want to consider shrinking the size of the images before posting them up. They are way too big (at least for me and my 17" LCD). At any rate, I like that shot you took of the AVS (adaptive variable suspension) control. A rare but useful option for the ES ;)

[bartkat]

Yes, please reduce the pic size. Those would kill a 56K phone modem setup.

Also, pleas wash your car. ;)

tite car man, i got a 99 with 150k and still going strong, these cars seriously rock!!!!!

[one30boy]

whats that swtich between the heated seat buttons? my 99 es300 does not have this?

[IlyaIlya]

sorry about that guys, I assumed every one got cable ; )

I m going to try to make them smaller,

and no avs does not appear on all models, my friends 99 dont have heated seats or any avs ;) so i m happy with mine, and it actually works too heh .

How long you guys think the tranny should last?

I dont know if i m being paranoid or not, but i feel that it shifts pretty weird from park to drive, its kind of stiff sort of

any ideas?

it is

AVS (adaptive variable suspension) control. A rare but useful option for the ES 

used to change the spring settings to soft or hard i believe

I live in Vancouver, BC and I have only seen two 97+ ES300 without AVS. I think most of the cars were ordered by the dealers with AVS. One had to specifically request a non-AVS equipped car.

[supreme300]

ilyia how much did you pay for your car??i payd $12k for my 99 with 150k miles, over in jersey.

[IlyaIlya]

i paid 7400 for it in nyc

[one30boy]

thats a pretty good price i've seen 1st gens going for that price, did u get it from a dealer or private seller?

[IlyaIlya]

dealer, but not A LEXUS DEALER,

he prolly goes and gets cars from PA auctions ,

and ye i looked at 96 before, but i like 97 better ; )

Nice car! Looks like you have the factory AVS suspension system like mine B) piece of advice.......get rid of the club anti-thieft device & get yourself the autolock which attaches to the brake pedal.......the can cut the steering wheel to get the club off but they can't cut the brake pedal off ;) It's the strongest part of the car.

[NeiLtYmE]

cept those things cost a bite load :P

then again i do have a $500 clifford security system with lcd remote ! :D

Now thats protection. Trojan man be crying!

[one30boy]

If they really wanted ur car they can just tow it with the autolock, doesnt the ignition die without the computered key anyways?

[IlyaIlya]

Lexusfreak i m one step ahead of your post ; ) the autolock came yesterday , its a bit weird, but seems to work, i got it cheap off ebay, but my friend said that it can be picked, and showed me the lock pick that is 130 bux that is able to pick locks like are on autolock.

but i will still use it, only thing now i worry about is air bag, i dont want people trying to get there,

i wonder how good stock security is on lexus,

btw the pedal on lexus, does it swing left/right a little bit

mine does, so it is a bit weird putting the autolock on, i m afraid to break something heh.

thanx
