LOL, i could get it for you for about $150. but you would spend more than that getting here and back... hows the hurricane?? i hear its a mess, frickin 4 in a row!!!

Erebuny has a body kit for the Gen II camry that will fit my ES250, do any of you guys have any exp with their customer service??? there website is here: www.erebunicorp.com i havenbt heard anything about them, good or bad... heres the kit: http://www.erebunicorp.com/ge/toycamry.htm

i think it would look incredible. i can get you a deal here in DF dub if you fell like driving out here LOL. :D

the Motorola MPX 200. thats about the only one from motorola i would reccomend... B) can only be had through AT&T tho.

Thanks Mr. McNally.

seems alright to me...that price seems a little high to me, but i have not been in the lexus family long enough to know...thats a few miles but not too bad.

most cars, at 20 you wouldnt be able to stop..i have stopped a geo tracker 2 door from a >5MPH roll when i was like 13. when brakes fail the only real way to stop the car is throwing the tranny in park. IF you do this, count on buy a new trans and engine (when a tranny seizes at any speen above 30 or so, it usually takes the motor with it.) at any speed above 45, you probably just totalled your car, because the torque will bend the subframe.

slip joint pliers and big-!Removed! muscles. thats the only way. these springs work off of tension, they have to be tight. no special tools or anything. most disk brake systems are the same. just take the pliers and pull on the spring like hell until it locks into place. piece o cake. ;)

heh it can be done...trust me. ;) the more adviseable way to stop if you have no brakes and plenty of room is to put it in neutral and coast to a stop. or if you have a manual, downshift. engine braking is ard to do in an auto. once you have downshifted to 1st, this should put you ~20mph, then you can rub the wheels on the curb till you stop, ir drag your foot out the open door (though you may have an issue with your shoes melting...) then there is the other option, head straigth for the nearest pole or brick wall.

no prob. :D

anyone???

it is possible i suppose... my 1995 Ford Contour had 384,990 miles on it when i crashed it. the damned thing must have been a freak or something, cause it STILL runs like the day it was new, minus a radiator, a/c system and power steering.(due to the crash) as a result, i can only run it for a few minutes at a time. ..BUT...if a ford can make it that far, a toyota better make it farther. BTW... If i were you, i would switch to synthetic motor oil to get the most life out of your engine, also switch to synthetic tranny fluid as well. but...my next door neighbor has a 2004 VW golf, and it has 67,000 miles on it already (he runs his own courier business). so no, i dont think its possible to drive a car too much. understand that every part on a car is a wear item, some things just take longer than others to wear out (I.E. rod bearings Vs Spark Plugs). just a thought. highway miles are easy on engines and trannies, i think you will be fine for many years tocome if you stick to the freeways...how many miles do you have so far???

the 1990-1991 ES250 is not listed as a model in the LOC garage, can someone plz add it? otherwise ill have to say it is an ES300...and i dont wanna do that. TIA.

and if those three fail, pop for the new tranny and throw it in park! :chairshot: (seriously, dont do this LOL!!!!!!!!! :cries: )

im not arguing that...

depending on you year, make and model, your E brake is probably cable Tightened (most are). i would say at the most you had to buy new pads/shoes, and maybe turn the rotors/drums.

^ what the topic says^ and what grade oil should i use (remember, im in TX) also, should i switch to Synthetic? i do have a valve cover leak...not sure if that will get worse with synth or not.

is this the wiring harness adapter i need? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=12412

that would make sense, a wise business decision for VZW, "dont make a choice until we see what happnes to sprint". and with the 3G CDMA able to use the GSM netowrk, will sprint even need to "upgrade" to GSM?? thats my other question. EDIT: dude this sucks, i have to be SOOOOOO careful how i word things...

im installing my aftermarket stereo soon ( i pick up the car on thurs, providing nothing else goes wrong with the house) and i wonder if i need a dash mount kit??? also, where can i get a wiring harness adapter, i would rather not hard wire it if i dont have to. EDIT: can somebody edit that title...oops

yeah i dont understand the whole blacklisting ESN's thing...what is the problem??? i mean, i know what it does, but why isnt it illegal yet??? and that was my original point :D thanks for making it LOL :P (as you may know) i have signed a conf. agreement with Motorola, so theres alot of things i cant say...but i can hint ;) sprint really screwed themselves. they are going to have to update (im still sticking by what i was told, GSM in 2-5 years) $30,000,000,000+ is quite a bit to spend for 2-5 years of use... granted the 3rd gen CDMA is Miles ahead of 1x, or even 2x, but why not just pop the rest of the cash and ge tthe GSM netowrk?? i may never know, cause i dont work there, but it seems that we will know soon enough. but still, im not sure why VZW pushed us to deveolp the V710...only for a few more years of use??

hmmm ...sweet. i may get a friend of mine to do a custom cherry (almost red) wood kit for my new lex...he is good at that kind of thing, but im not sure exactly how he would do it... u have a pm. SW03ES :D

im still not entirely sure if my lexus has "real wood" or not, but grandmas E55 is amazing... i dont think mine has real wood, cause its the very bottom model on the lexus lineup that year. BUT, its a lexus, so i dont care.LOL.

true true true and true. you have to see where i am coming from (and you have). i can only see what goes on at motorola, i can tsee what goes on at VZW cause idont work there (im assuming you do). you know alot more about that end than i do. thanks for the civilized discussion. its noce to be able to do that and not get flamed. motorolas goal now is to switch over to GSM. however, i did not realize that we were putty in VZW's hands. you are correct, if this thing backfires, we are screwed.
