  1. The gas tank is between the back seat and the trunk.
  2. I can see that much if they are replacing the evaporator, that is buried in the dash. If your compressor just seized up, i would think your evaporator should be fine. The compressor is not hard at all. Couple clips, the 2 AC lines, 3 bolts and it comes right out. And, a compressor from the dealer is a TON of money. I got a used one for $75.
  3. lol, I love it. Mine is down every day.
  4. My compressor and clutch seized up nicely on my 97. I replaced it without a lot of issue. Out and in under 1 hour.
  5. Generally you can run them till their pretty thin. The pad wear sensor will tell you when. If their are under a 1/8" I would probably replace em.
  6. I will answer my own question, NO, they do not clear the brakes. Too wide.
  7. Quick question. I have a 1997 LS400. Found a GREAT deal on some 17" IS300 wheels. Will they clear my brakes?
  8. I have converted every car I have owned, most with high mileage, to synthetic with no issues. The reports of cars burning oil after switching are just myths now. You can switch if you like. Personal preferance. You can go longer on a synthetic than dino oil. I run 10-30 Mobile 1 full synthetic for 5k with no issues. My car has 219k
  9. Congrats on the "new" '97. Good year, that is what I drive. Your going to love her.
  10. I run synthetic blend in my 97 with 215K for 5000 miles, looks pretty good even after all that. Could probably take it out to 7500. The 3K mile oil change isn't required anymore if you ask me. Engines these days are plenty efficient and clean.
  11. The pump will come with a new strainer. The injectors, no, they are related, but not like that.
  12. Could be the solenoid on the starter. Or your ignition switch.
