Matthew_McNally Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 sounds cool! and another vote for piccies!! /matt thinks of making piccies compulsory for all bragging threads
NeiLtYmE Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 sounds pretty sweet sk.... what kind of cold intake you have ??
SKperformance Posted June 7, 2003 Author Posted June 7, 2003 if it is on my car it is all custom wel most of it sorry i forgot to say i posted pics in the gallery last night at the same time yah i know you want to see it mcv just so you can say how much better yours looks lol i think i will wait for darknights to unvaile it with the kit though
SKperformance Posted June 9, 2003 Author Posted June 9, 2003 http://us.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/ES?&page=3 this shows the pics or see the whole gallery at the above left link for club gallery
ProZac Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Hey Sk. what kind AND how much did u pay for ur Cold air intake??? And did it help in any way? mileage/performace etc? AND did you have to get a different chip? Its an achieveable Mod for me right now :) ~ProZac~
SKperformance Posted June 9, 2003 Author Posted June 9, 2003 i acutally built my intake myself as the first part i started to custom make for lexus it gives great milage and performance i also do not have a drop in my torque curve unlike many camry's that have been dyno'd also not sure what you mean by an achevable mod meaning price ease of install or what fill me in also i did them for customers in toronto for about $300 install and all hardware in 3 hours
ProZac Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Yea, achieveable as in $ and ease of DIY. I could also use the better mileage since im getting 16mpg max. But next week/month im going to get new brakes, oil change, and im gonna ask for one of those "flush thingies" that clear out crap and make the car drive like new (so i hear) That fule additive didn't seem to help, so might as well have a professional do their stuff. If that doesn't cost TOO much, i might have $$ left over to do a cold air intake. But, i don't know too much about my 97's intake to mod it quite yet. So im trying to read about it, and look on line for Kits. http://www.weapon-r.com/airbox.html Like what about this??? or is there a DIY that looks good and works just as good? ProZac
SKperformance Posted June 11, 2003 Author Posted June 11, 2003 once the flushie thing is done you will 100% get better milage no doubt the cold air is only a diy if you have worked with the materail like metal and plastics before or you could get the filter in the wrong place and leak one more thing is the lower grille is from a 95-96 es with the rectangle fogs since i took out the useless projectors ( fogs are supposed to be a wide short beam kinda defeated by a projector) not that my new ones are any better i have yet to see a fog light do any good in any fog period it only gives the car a nicer look
dmccombs Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Hi, Who did you get your Front Strut Bar from, and how much was it? Thanks, Darrell McCombs
SKperformance Posted December 2, 2003 Author Posted December 2, 2003 The bar i have is no longer available in that style ,sorry.
SKperformance Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 OK i have loaded most of the pics up to the LOC server. I'll thumbnail them here but they can be see on page 10 and higher in full res and size, they include mainly my car and my fine female friends. and some dudes at the end holding some crappy peices of tin thinking it is really gold, lmao Too bad martin didn't stay where he was supposed to ,to get a shot in the pics with the group http://us.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/shows?page=10 These are pics from DKN6 darknight nationals which i got 3rd place over s bone stock IS 300 and another IS 300 with a turbo in the engine bay but not hooked up?????
