  1. Thanks CUMan..I am glad someone else is in my situation. Cheers to LEXUS..
  2. I just opened my battery covers and they are empty or dry. Should these holes be full of water? Cheers to Lexus and your help
  3. http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/emission/egrfilter.html This link shows an engine that is different then my 93? I dont know where the egr filter is on my 93.. Does anyone have a picture or any tips? 50 bucks for the cabin air filter.. that sucks? Anyone put anything else in there (sponge or something)? I am going to spray something nice in there.. I just took mine out and it was DISGUSTING.. There is three front clips and then two hooks in the back (also disconnect the light in the back).. The front end of this panel hung down a bit on the right... When I took it apart I saw the metal clips (go over plastic) just sitting there so now I am going to superglue them so panel will not hang.
  4. So the Knimachio system is analog? Newer decks and systems are digital (thought all cd's are digital). My friend who is a stero guy stated one has to replace whole system. What stinks is I think the old system goes with the car. Anyone have any pictures of after market decks in their LS400?
  5. This is a great cabin air filter previously used by LOC (lexusownersclub) http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/emission Cheers to the internet!
  6. LEXLS.com is an awesome website. I contributed a few bucks and plan on contributing more. The guy (or whoever) does an awesome job! The details are so simple and complete. I decided to add the link to my website so I dont forget it once again. Cheers to LexLS.com
  7. Is the PVC filter a big deal? Just changed the dirtiest air filter I have ever seen... What up with the K & M? Where is the cabin air filter? Mobil 1 for the first time at 100k? Any other simple maintenance tips I should do on my 1993 LS400..
  8. I like the 15k offer. Place your offer and walk away. I was about to buy a 98 and the guy was begging me to make and offer. I think he would have done it for 11k, but I bought the color I really wanted in a 93. Then turned around and added a few thousand in tires and all that.
  9. Personally I dont like it, but others may? Since I have the gold emblems it would not look good. Cheers to LEXUS..
  10. WHat does the K & M air filter do?? How more power and all that? Better MPG? THe guy stated that more dust gets in with it and you have to clean it all the time?? I was kidding about buying 3 of these gizmoes!..
  11. I dont think so. Never seen them before, but I do see those on tirerack.com
  12. 1/4 tank at 140 is about right. It seems like you get the most miles from full to 3/4 tank. For sure change the air filter when it gets dirty (oil change if needed 3-5k). I just cleaned it since I was shocked how dirty and today I replaced. I am going to take pictures of both and show.. It was really amazing! Cheers.
  13. Thanks guys.. I used to have the blue nipples that go over the ligths and they were so kewl. So I am going to get some for the LEXUS. I will post pictures when I get them. Top light I would keep white. The blue is to light for the main light.
  14. This is pathetic, but could happen to someone else. My LS has the blinking dash light issue so until I fix it takes a few minutes to heat up. So I was driving with almost a minor thump as the wheel spun. I really had no idea what was going on so I pulled over. Well I guess I did not completely pull emergency break and since there was no lights I did not know that. So if you feel a minor front end issue and lights are not on give the ebrake release a pull.. Cheers to LEXUS
  15. That sucks, but they are over priced any ways..
  16. Plugs work.. At worst you could get another leak, but from my experiences it never happens. I used to have a 4x4 and I pluged that and numerous other tires. I never ever had a problem. They check under water to make sure you dont have a leak. If there were serious problems everyone would sue.
  17. I bought three and after changing my fuel filter and using cruise control they work. :) No I just took out my air filter and ohhhh myyyy god!!! It was a damn rats nest.. Everything from tinfoil to leaves.. So now I am excited to think my MPG will increase!
  18. Just get the 93 for 7k with 90k miles. I suspect the ride is similar. :) I always compare prices on cars.com to get an idea of what market rate is.. Cheers
  19. Good post.. Although its been asked a hundred times.. I have 100k on my LS and curious what the pros of the mobil 1 are? Besides the expensive cost. Cheers
  20. My air filter must be disgusting!! I am off to clean at 2AM.
  21. Hello I have a 93LS 400 and I want the light blue bulbs for my interior. Where can I find the numbers and also the bulbs? Cheers to LEXUS
  22. So your saying that my 93LS is better then the 430. Cheers to that!
  23. Hey man I see some problems, so you might want to sell to me for 2k. :) Also this car is not a beater. If you drive it down the road people think its a 40k car. Its so funny. Idiots who hover in the left lane move when the LS is coming. People let you go first at intersections. Its just a great experience in the LS. Daily people tell me how nice mine is and they all think its a 2002. Its so funny! Enjoy every second.. What was the demographics of the guy who sold it? Also any word on the issues it has (antifreeze)? I think I am going to buy my wife a nice 90 something or give her mine and then buy a 98+. Although the truth is I love mine so much I can not give it away even if I were to drive it every day the thought of a woman (dangerous drivers) hurting my tank would kill me. Man you got a nice deal. I think mine at 95k for 7k was a steal. It feels so great to get a luxury car for a tempo price!
  24. Others here state that closed windows (less resistance) improves MPG. I also question the increased drag with bigger tires. This may have a minor effect on decreased MPG. Cruise control is a sure way to increase your MPG. I have a 93 that seems to get 21 around town and 23-24 on the highway. I do about 74 MPH on the highway in cruise control. Reguarding the premium vs regular or plus debate. If you break down the cost then premium is the way to go. Typically premium is .30 cents more then regular. So if it costs 2.75 you are looking at about a 10% increase in cost. Now this may seem like a lot but if you typically put 2000 miles a month on the lexus its about $20 dollars to follow the rules of engineers that built the best car on earth. MY LS deserves premium. Cheers
  25. Mold and a nasty smell. Sometimes one could see where the car was registered at.. Contact LEXUS for maintenance records and find out where work was done. Good luck.
