IlyaIlya Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Some pics of my 97 with 125,500 miles http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ferrariny...o.com/ferrariny for those who can't wait till they all load (dial up wariors) ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusk8 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Yes, please reduce the pic size. Those would kill a 56K phone modem setup. Also, pleas wash your car. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one30boy Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 whats that swtich between the heated seat buttons? my 99 es300 does not have this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlyaIlya Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 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?

timmay217 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 whats that swtich between the heated seat buttons? my 99 es300 does not have this? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna4ever Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlyaIlya Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 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 ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 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 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one30boy Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 If they really wanted ur car they can just tow it with the autolock, doesnt the ignition die without the computered key anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlyaIlya Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
