i just had my antenna fixed. mine was sticking when it went up, and would never go down unless someone tapped it as the motor was running. i didn't have to replace the antenna, the only thing the mechanic did was replace a cable. i will double check when i get home, but i think that was it. also, when i first looked at the antenna the lubricant seemed to be dirty. i'll let you know as soon as i can what got replaced. it works great now :) and it doesn't make really annoying sounds anymore like it did when it would get stuck. nice, smooth movement

i must say, that car color is the most amazing one yet. i do love how it's one color too... i need to repaint my car and figure out what to do with that darn trim. why did they even think it would be attractive to make it another color?! as for the bootie shots, you guys can just keep looking, i'll be drooling over the car anyways ;)

no plans to move it....even though its darn ugly. if i keep this car i will probably end up changing the light covers, so that would fix the problem ;)

i am a new 92 es 300 owner, and the only thing i can help you with is that the cd player is not standard...trust me....if it was i would be a happier camper. i am looking at a whole new stereo system for mine... if you want i can give you an awesome place to look for new stereo stuff. as for the parts in the car, just see if you can find some camry parts in a junkyard, the guys here should give you some help on what exactly. i am sure they can give you much better info than i can...

apparently they had the button in the base 1996 camry too but took it out for the 97-99 models ( i don't know about the new ones) also, on the 92 es300, was the ES300 label on the taillight or on the top right of the rear?

what is this ECT power button on my lexus? what's it do and should i ever use it? and they still don't know what's wrong with the car. the mechanic is on vacation for another week so i have to wait until then for anymore info. i was told he thinks there is something wrong with the fuel system or something that makes the car have trouble accelerating in the morning. also, any cheap tricks to making the lower panel stay? (the ugly darker color on the car) it got stuck in the dir when the door was opened and popped out of place.

here's what i plan on getting: Pioneer TS-A1670R 6-1/2"/6-3/4" 3-Way Speakers Rockford Fosgate FRC4269 6"x9" 2-way Speakers Pioneer GM-X374 35W x 4 Car Amplifier Pioneer DEH-P3500 CD Receiver StreetWires PS10RI 10 gauge Amp Wiring Kit Red with Patch Cable they don't have harnesses for the 6x9 or the head unit for my car.

i will let you know most likely fall 2004 (that is when i plan to go back to school) unless my car decides to die on a visit up there (most likely will)

YAY! i have an alarm!!!! all i need now is the battery. THANK YOU!!!!

so i went to the store today to check it out. guess what. i realized today that i am poor. i had a big fight in the store and left. damn amps are 500 dollars or more. my friend first told me i didnt need an amp and know he's saying i do need one. it is going to cost at least $1000 just for parts, and thats if i get a free head unit. i just don't know what im doing. i guess im just going to be copying cds to tapes for about 7 YEARS. *grunt* i think im just going to put my money into my bicycle and ride that around. and my car is in the shop for an extra day so they can make sure they know what's wrong with it and so they can replace the antennea (broken antenna over a new stereo..what was my dad thinking.) hopefully i can get a few salvaged parts from friend's cars. i just don't know what to do now :( :chairshot: they need a face that is sobbing too

yeh where is a good place to take a lexus in the asheville area? i need to find a place up there for when i go back to school. recommendations? in the triangle i take my car to Wasp Auto in Durham. My family has been taking toyotas to them since 1988 ( or maybe a bit later i cannot remember). I do not know about the Raleigh area, i need to find one in Cary for myself. (lots of moving planned)

about this whole key thing, i have a remote key (little black button on the side of the key) but when i bought the car, the battery was dead. anyone know if this is just a lock/ unlock or do i have an alarm on this car? if no one knows, how do i find out what my car has on it.........

Lexi is at the shop this morning. i wasn't able to check the forum until just now so i didn't see your message about the hose. my dad said something about a temp gauge for some sort of cooliant (he may know what he is talking about, but then again, he also told me the camry was a 5 speed automatic, eh)

ok, so i am taking to now audio video and paying someone to replace the main 4 speakers and the reciever. i am just going to leave the little 4 speakers alone and disconnect them. rather spend money and have it work. and it's everything about the stereo. just listening to it makes my head hurt. and i want a cd player. i am moving from a 99 camry to a 92 lexus, so basically i want the sound i had in the camry, but in the lexus. but right now my problem is the check engine light. there is something wrong with the car. every time i start it for the first time of the day, Lexi doesn't respond to pressure on the gas pedal for a few minutes. it is like he is pinned up against a brick wall with a block under the pedal. he just won't go. anyone heard about this? mayb i should make a new thread.

i was told that if i was going to replace it, just replace it all at once (if they don't match it wouldn't work and i do not plan on having to go back for more and more parts just to get it to work right. also i had found infinity kappa 692.5 i 6 x 9 2 way. ($200) i can't remember the 6 x 1/2 '' ones i found. i really don't know that much about cars, never have and i just need someone to go with me to a darn store and find what i need, but alas, everyone is busy. i mean, i know i need to have the speakers fit the car, but i do not know what that means or anything... how much would it cost to have someone put the darn things in? i just don't know what to do.

like i said, i am new to this. my bestfriend sent me to that site (he's got experience putting in speakers and such). it is just hard for me to understand what i am looking for in this car. i just want to replace the rear and door speakers and i guess the stereo receiver.....which means all the wiring too. i am trying to match everything up so i don't blow something (wattage matching?) i just worry that i will destroy whatever i try to put into the car.

i went to crutchfield.com to look for speakers, i think i ended up with a total of $650 to do it myself. (including reciever, 4 speakers). right now i am just trying to find a owners manual for sale, couldn't find one on ebay this morning.

what are devil eyes then? i just want to make my lexus look purdy, seeing as how it is,well.....in need of some lovin' (any other info on fixin' her up, let me know)

hey, i am a new lexus owner, i am blessed with a 1992 ES 300 and am disappointed in the quality of the stereo sound. does anyone know about replacing the stereo itself and the speakers? the face of the factory stereo is an odd size and shape so i cannot just place a new one in....any ideas?
