I finally got my turbo kit installed in my '97 lexus SC300 today after a month, but now my check engine light comes on. The place that installed the kit said that it is because I don't have enough spark, and I need a ecu of some sort and maybe a ignition. They recommended that I get a Greddy E-Manage, and that would solve the problem because it would control fuel and spark. Is that true that it would solve my problems? Is that the unit that I should get? And if I get the Greddy E-Manage, will I still need to get a ignition upgrade? Also they quoted $1200 for unit (E-manage)/install/and tune, is that a fair price? If I need a ignition upgrade, what would be the best for my car considering price and so on? They recommended MSD DIS. Considering I don't think that I have digital spark, I don't think that would be the unit to get, maybe like a MSD 7T or something, any ideas?

Thanks to jdmparts_guru, I just received my gauge pod. Nice product, quick shipment, and easy transaction. It is a slip on, not replacement. I will post pics once I am finished. Thanks a lot.

Get the 300. The maintinance costs are a lot less on the 300 than the 400. I love mine. Wouldn't get anything else, except a Ferrari.

:chairshot: About a week ago, I let my friend drive my es300 late at night while I was sitting passenger because I was too tired. Long story short, we went around a curve at 60mph that was supposed to be taken at 45mph and we flew off the road and flipped :o the lexus ! The car is half of what it was needless to say and is totaled. I'm ok and so is he, thankgod. That's the bad news. Good news- I just got a 1997 silver lexus SC300, and put 19' konig theory's on it with a 1 inch eibach spring drop :D . Only has 71000 miles on it with black interior. It's fast, but not fast enough, so my girlfriend is buying me a f/max turbo kit for Christmas for $4,700, ha, ha, ha :whistles: . Overall, much better than the es300. I'm in love ! --no more es forum posts, sc from here on out.

Does anybody know what are the best lowering springs for my 1995 lexus ES300? I would like to lower it about 2 inches but no lower b/c i have 18' rims on my car. The most i found so far are B&G which drop the car 1.6 front and back. And would 2 inches be too much and would 1.6 be enough?

How do I clean the projector convex lenses in my 1995 es300 headlights? The lenses are cloudy and make the lights seem dim. Is there anyway to take apart the headlights and clean the lenses?
