Why would you want to lock your car in your own driveway when it is in view ? ( I don't think a neighbor would want to take it for a joy ride ) If you go swimming/skiing etc... Just have the attendant/ hold the keys for you. Engine starters I beleive the car stays locked. You might want to consult an remote car starter tech and ask him/her about how the car remains locked when remotely started. Just a thought. ;) Let us know what you find out. Thanx

In most states it is ilegal to leave a running car unatended. And if you have a dog or a child in the car you will go directly to jail. Responsability is the way to go.

Drilled is great for heat dispersment, Slotted is good for dust/dirt displacement, Both weaken the rotor and will increase the possibility of warpage. This topic has been covered to ( almost no end ) in previous posts. Use the search function and look way back. Blanks are your best choice if you are not racing.

You won't gain anything by using sub par plugs. Maybe a few bucks but in the long run you'll pay. Good Luck.

Scam :whistles:

That would be rolling the dice. :chairshot: Plugs are a very important part. Do not take a short cut.

gs400's come from the factory with iridiums. Go to a toyota dealer and purchase them there. Cheaper than a lexus dealer. Stay away from any aftermarket plugs. ;)

Emmanuel, Welcome to the club I am sure you will find a boatload of info on this site concerning your car.

No, its not. It is however at its most expensive $40,000 less than an LS. You could buy two well equipped Ford 500s and a nice used boat for the cost of an LS. Or you could buy a 500 and an ES350 for your luxury itchings for the same cost. Something you have to keep in mind when comparing two different vehicles. As for the vehicles relative driving characteristics when compared to an LS, considering that Jim has owned the Lexus LS for 15 years now and extensively drove a Ford 500 over a 2 week period when you have never owned an LS, and never driven a Ford 500. I'd say his opinion probably carries a teensy bit more weight than yours. I love it when people post "irrefutable" "these are the facts" answers like that and have absolutely no real world experience to back them up. And admittedly so! It astonishes me. Thats like me saying oh Greece is a trash heap and can never compare to what a trip to Rome has to offer when I've never been to either place! Lunacy. My advice, drive the car and have an open mind before you pass judgement on it so you at least have some assemblence of experience to form your opinion. THEN its worth posting, and someone might care what you "reccomend" or "don't reccomend". As it is now, I'll trust Jim Well a 15 year old ls might drive like a new 500 ? Sure I have never owned an ls, I have driven them ( and intend on purchasing one or two ). I wouldn't want to drive/own a chrysler/ford/chevy/ and the list goes on... I will always own a lexus. My 93 es drives smoother than most new cars. No arguement her on how you feel/think about other car mfgr's. There is just no comparison between a ford and a lexus. If one wants room , Buy a bus/van/motorhome etc... As far as lunacy goes compare a 500 to a ls. We obviously disagree on this topic. So let's agree to disagree and live with it. ;)

good tip dude, here is a question. 1) Will a 1997 ES300 airbag work with a 1996 ES300 if I have the steering wheel and airbag ready to install, is it a compatible airbag system? No, 92-96, Not 97

Please forgive me for the late post. Thanx, I first saw the 500 at the minneapolis auto show and my personal opinion is that it was plasticy, Typical ford run of the mill trying to compete auto. I would not buy/rent or recommend it. I think it would make a nice cab or fleet car only. It is in no way even close to an LS. And never will be......................

A 97 airbag will not work in a 01. Who is going to reset the airbag ??? How is your auto insurance going to feel about that ??? It shouldn't be that difficult to reproduce the leather in black. Tan would be a hell of alot harder. This project is high risk.......... <_<

Replace them. Make sure they are torqued properly. I think 17 lb's. I could be wrong though. Someone will chime in with the spec. ( I hope ).

If you find a stock player it will be a fujitsu. They are pure junk and lexus should have never put them in there vehicles. You won't find an aftermarket changer to work with the nak.

I have one if you are still interested. PM or EM me.

Stay with iridiums, They last the 120,000. But feel free to change them at will.

salvage vehicle? Cutouts for the fog lights are there, but you're right, no lamps. steviej I think 189370.

Congrats

Park it in your driveway, Put a camera on it with a motion sensor, Connect the motion sensor to a alert signal, Load a 30.06 with a scope preaimed. You can guess the rest. If someone was to trespass on my property, AHHHHHH!!!! You can imagine what they would be in for. I used to hunt animals. Humans are much more invasive. I don't hunt animals that don't have guns. Bring it on. DC- Make sure you don't get carried away and hit your car! :D I really hate thieves. I guess I was ranting a little bit there.

If a code has never been applied No code is needed. There is no code from the factory..... And it is the last 4 digits from the KEY code.

Old Joke, But still funny as long as your wifey/friend is understanding.

Sure, it has happened to all of us, but when it happens to me, I'm dealing with something slightly more complicated than unchecking a box on a computer screen, especially when step by step instructions are provided! A couple of us are thinking about something bigger and better than just deleting this post! LOL :whistles: I understand ;) Will be looking forward to the " Bigger and Better "

As bad as spam Why not just delete the entire post ?????????????????????
