F1FTEENTH

1995 But almost hitting 256,xxx

When my car is cold, i'll hit the ignition..and it will just click, so then i just turn it back and it starts right up. What is that? ANd today, it started making this really weird noise, i have no idea. If anyone has any idea's if those two things are related and what the problem is..please let me know. I'll try to upload a video later. thanx

Hey guys, i was just wondering if you think the new wheels from the SC430's that are dark grey, would look good on my 95 es300 that is black with grey on bottom? I'll try to leave some pictures of what im talking about below. And if anyone could do a photoshop for me i would greatly appreciate it. ( btw. would they even fit?)

1995 ES300 251,--- still runs strong.... wish i could have drove one new...im still shocked at how nice it drives and the great performance even when i got it at 241,000 haha. Love my lexus. First one, and hopefully next will be as well

Hello, I have had my 95 es for a few months now, and it just now turned over 250,000 and im not sure when the last guy had the timing replaced, and i was just wondering when you are supposed to change them, like every 50,000..or.... if theirs like a certain mileage peak, like at 100,000, then again at 200,000? Any info would be appreaciated!

Hey guys (and gals), my sister and I are fighting over who would win in a race, and her little ricer b/f thinks that her soon to be 99 passat 1.8t will beat my Lexus ES300. What is your opinion? Her b/f says that it doesnt matter that mine has like 50 more horse..it depends on how many horse to the wheels...and i also told him mine has more torque (www.edmunds.com facts) So..i just wanna know that im not digging myself a whole when i think i can beat her.... Let me know what you guys (and gals) think.... thanks much- joel

Could someone do a photoshop on a two toned black(top)grey(bottom) Es300 (92-96) with some ASA ST2 wheels onit for me? ive searched all over trying to find what it would look like on my car, but have had NO luck....

i have a 95 es with 244,000 and still runs Beautifully...i just replaced headgaskets...that has been my only issue with this magnificant car. I <3 Lexus

Hey guys, i finally broke down and took my lexi in to get the rear valve cover gasket fixed, and i had him track down what the burning/smoke smell coming from the vents when the heat was on.... And he found a mouse nest somewhere inside of my car.... But..he said he got some of it out, and if he wanted me to get it all out it would be 8-10 hours to take the dash out and finish the job......... ugh... im already out 225$ for the gasket and cleaning a bit of that crap out....... grrr

I asked my dad if, since i plan to replace the rear valve cover gasket, if that would solve the problem, and he said NO...so.....is he wrong? or is their more than one thing i need fixed?

Hey guys, whenever i turn on my defrost or heat, i get a burning smell, such as oil, and my cabin begins to get smokey........whats should i do? winter is coming and i dont want to have to breath smoke to defrost my windows, thanks

Hey guys, would wheels from a newer (2003ish) SC430 fit on my 1995 ES300? and if anyone had pix, i think it would look cool, and i would like to see what it would look like....THANX

Hello, i was wondering if anyone has had their valve cover gasket( rear or both) changed(preferably by lexus dealer) and could tell me how much it was? cause...i believe mine is leaking and burnning of which is giving me a terrible smell and...looks pretty crappy as well.....and i also get the smell when i turn on the heat...i get a burning smell and sometimes smoke...so...any estimates would be great! thanks alot

Hey their, just tonight i went to put my soda in the cup holder....and.....i pulled it out, and i went to put the cup holder thing that pops out (95 ES300 that slides in and out) and i went to put it back in, and it just stops...and gets caught on the ashtray, it goes half way in and just locks up and wont go all the way in..... Anyone have the same thing and what to do? Or...can someone tell me where to start taking that beast apart? :( ugh...this is gonna suck if i have to take that all apart.... :(

Thanx guys for your help, but, i bought the car from a private party...and he didnt tell me or "imply" any type of warranty, he basically seemed and told me how good he took care of the car....and tonight as i was leaving again, the check engine light came back on..............wtf......idk, this car is giving me to many headaches for the second day i have owned it. Anymore suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi their, im very new to lexus, this is my first. 1995 ES300 with 241,000 miles.... When i bought the car, they had told me the people who changed the oil, accidentally spilled oil on the engine, and thats why their was a bit on the engine. But now that im home, i see it all over, and smell it burning. My Dad says its prolly head Gaskets, cause thats where it looks like its coming from and dripping on to the manifold, hence the smoke. Could anyone tell me how hard it is to change The head gaskets? and approx how long, and how to? Im getting so *BLEEP*ed at this car and its the second day i have owned it. And earlier, i took it to wash the engine to get the oil cleaned off, and the check engine light came on, so i took it to advance auto, and they didnt have a thing to check it and it was prolly just water that set it off... So they told me to disconnect the battery, so i did, and thats better now but, all these problems... Ugh, it SUCKS!!! Any suggestions about the headgaskets would reallllly be appreciated, or approx how much it would be for the dealer to do it? :cries: ugh....i cant imagine, but, just let me know. Thanks, Joel
