I know this is last minute, but if I can get one more person out there, I've accomplished my goal. This Saturday (March 5th) there will be a meet at Starbucks in San Jose for people to sign a petition to put in a drag-strip in Morgan Hill. From what i understand, live signatures mean much more than those online/e-mail petitions. They'll be there from 1-4PM and I really hope some of you guys attend. If you'd like a little more info on this, please read here Blossom Hill & Santa Terressa 854 Blossom Hill Road San Jose, California 92109 (408) 224-7574 Once again, I really hope some of you go because this is definitely for a good cause. Post if you can attend and bring all your friends. ~Alan

Yes. =) When you lock/unlock, the alarm sends a +12V pulse to the mechanism in the door. You tap that and connect it to a relay. (Read up on the use of relays first) You can then use the relay to power anything you want. (ie. a small horn or your foglights) Good luck. ~Alan

Break Down Of The Codes?

I don't get it? How did this happen? Did you run over the deer or did the deer run over you? :P

Bump. :D Pre-reg is now closed but you can still come hang out, and I more than welcome you to.

If you're running stock differential and W58 on proper tire size, then I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call your bluff. Our cars tach out at 146-147 with stock driveline no matter how much power you add to the engine. If you're running upgraded diff or tranny, then right on! If you're running a wheel/tire combo that is too small in circumferance, your speedo is off by about 5% NOTE: You can possibly squeeze 1 or 2 more MPH if you depress your clutch right before fuel cut, but I highly reccomend against this. Handling can be adversely affected when you suddenly lose power to the rear wheels at 150ish

Sc300/400 Sub Replacement
SPORTcoupe300 replied to LexusPimpin's topic in Audio / Video / Electronics Forums
Can? Yes. Should? Probably not. If you've had no audio install experience at all, it can be quite tricky. At the least, have a friend who's done some audio help you out. Best of luck. -
When To Replace Timing Belt, Etc.
SPORTcoupe300 replied to gage's topic in 92 - 00 Lexus SC300 / SC400
It is highly recommended that you replace the timing belt and water pump every 60,000 miles or so. Waiting until it breaks is not a good idea for the following reason: Say you're on the freeway when the water pump goes out. You're not aware of this and you're just driving along. When the water pump is not circulating coolant through the engine, it only takes a few minutes for the engine to overheat. Now if you notice the temp gauge go up and pull over, well you'll just have to be towed and the job done. Worst case scenario: You don't notice the temp gauge go up OR it malfunctions and your engine gets so hot, it seizes. This will cost you a full engine rebuild. Your choice, but I recommend doing the service every 60-80K miles -
Depending on your mechanical skills it can take a bit less time or a lot more time. It is recommended that the water pump be changed with the timing belt but if inspected and it looks fine, it can be reused. Not sure about the idlers. If fuel filter hasn't been changed in a while, that's something to look into as well.

bad link

I don't think it was a V....to me it looked more like _|--|_ with the two dashes at the top. It basically goes over the gas tank. I wonder if it requires the removal of the subwoofer.

Which 5sp Shift Knob Is Good For Sc's?
SPORTcoupe300 replied to SEAN_VANCE's topic in 92 - 00 Lexus SC300 / SC400
Not sure about knobs but I found that you can move adjust how high the boot goes so you can make it come up to the knob you have now. Actually....I am not 100% sure I have the stock boot, but the plastic part says lexus so...yeah. There are 4 clips holding down the plastic around the boot. Once you get it off, keep lifting until the boot is inside out and held by your knob. You'll see that there's a rubber circle on the shaft. If you move this circle up, that's the lowest point the upper part of the boot will go. See if you can play with that. I'll take a pic of my shifter. (maybe later tonight) EDIT: Pics as promised. Here's a pic of my knob. This shows the ring I was talking about. -
Replacing Serpetine Belt On 96 Gs300
SPORTcoupe300 replied to WindyCityGS300's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
I might be speaking out of my here but af far as I remember, the idler pulley has a Spring? on it so it provides tension naturally. All you need is a big torgue wrench or breaker bar on that bolt in the middle to counteract the spring and release the tension. -
Sounds odd. If everything works with the key, you need to go get the keyless entry mechanism checked out.

I noticed that area heating up one time.(Everything was off but my temp was set to max because I last used the heater) All I did was turn the temp to Minimum and the heat went away. It's not rushing out of the vents to the point where you feel it coming out, but while your car is in motion, it slowly comes out and over a period of time, makes that area really hot.

So are you still using the stock amp for the 4" and 6-1/2" speakers, or have you gone with aftermarket and left the stock amp unused?

Silverstar Fog Lights Installed
SPORTcoupe300 replied to JDOwen2's topic in 92 - 00 Lexus SC300 / SC400
If you're up to it and you know electrical, you can make them into driving lights pretty easily. -
5mm sounds like a full pad to me. 5mm=1/4 inch If it goes below 2mm, then it may be time to change soon. My brakes squeal right now and my pads are near new. The problem with mine is when the last guy changed pads, he didn't machine the rotors, so they developed burn-spots. Eavey time pads are changed, the rotors should be machined. This isn't as crucial for the rear brakes, but the fronts are a must.

Anytime. :D -
Hey Check Out This Sc Guys
SPORTcoupe300 replied to Bazakon22z's topic in 92 - 00 Lexus SC300 / SC400
If it wasn't for the rims and the stripe down the sides, I wouldn't really mind driving something like that. I kinda like Chameleon. -
Sc300 Got 1g And Need Speed Asap
SPORTcoupe300 replied to soarerTT's topic in 92 - 00 Lexus SC300 / SC400
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW As for exhaust, it's up to you. I bought 2 MagnaFlow 14829 Mufflers and had a local shop install them and remove the resonators. Good exhaust for a relatively cheap price. -
Are There Any Other Fuses! Help!
SPORTcoupe300 replied to SEAN_VANCE's topic in 92 - 00 Lexus SC300 / SC400
There's a fuse box located next to your left foot when it's on the footrest. A lot of people seem to be missing the cover, so here's a pic for ya: The circled fuse is the "Rad No. 2" fuse which seems to be the counterpart to the "Rad No.1" found underneath the hood.
