oops sorry, not the DW40, i mean i used liquid wrench. got it in the autozone

yeah of course. just pull ur hand and check for the tenstioner, this is the part you are able to move, you can tighten it with the wrench.

try to spray some WD40 on the rails b4 u dissasemble the whole setup. this solved the problem in my case.

it is slightly different in the Gen II which 95 LS is. all you have to do is open the trunk and depending on the bulb you want to replace you either 1. pull the velcro and you will have access to the bulb assembly. remove one screw with philips screw driver and pull out the bulb assembly. 2. if the bulb is in the outer part of the headlight you pop 2 screw covers and unscrew 2 screws with philips screw driver and the you just pull the whole leadlight assembly out from the car. now you locate the bulb and turn its assembly clockwise (maybe counterclockwise i dont remember:)) and pull the assembly out and remove the bulb. whole procedure takes 10 mins tops. enjoy

hmm it looks like its only 96 problem. i dont bother doing anything in my case since i looked yesterday and i got only one "hole" sized as a peanut and its not noticable. why dont you just take all black paint off and leave the chrome?

hey wanda, the only thing i edited is my nick which u spelled incorrectly 2 times:) thanx for a good topic, its already pinned :D

there is a tensioner for the aux belt. you use a wrench and a hand to tighten it.

dont you worry guys its being taken care of. once we will know more we will release details to the public.

there are just too many of em but i will see what i can do:) here is what i think, one of you should create a specific thread, and i will pin it. :D you should name it smth like Bying LS: hints howtos and advices.

yea, the best deal i got on repaint is 1900$ and this is without any body work.each dent is extra.

as far as i know its the same, but if you want i will check the factory manual when i will get home on sun and i will give you whole procedure.

CD is useless, alldatadiy.com is pretty much same as those 2 volumes plus 3rd one. also search in alldata is much easier then in the book

i got the same problem and i just ignore it since its not that visible. its really hard to fix since to get this kind of paint quality u have to use spray paint and lexus paint comes in small bottles with brushes and when i tried to paint it with brush it didnt look good.

yeah, but i will stay with the 2000 shape for another 2-3 years.

is it really safe to spray LS engine with a hose? it has so many uncovered electronic parts that i was afraid to do so.

if you want to do perfomance upgrades you should check out lextreme site.

hey, thanx for sharing:) if you can pls do a lil tutorial and make a thread in the workshop tutorials forum. i remember couple of ppl had the same problem here so it will be useful to have it there.

yeah it does look good in wood but is it worth the money?:)

i'm thinking about upgrading in the next 1-2 month. i think i will get 2000ls so my 96 LS will be for sale. if you are interested pm me and we will discuss the details.

they already do have em, i saw lots of lexus cars in russia and middle east. most of them are not new but its still lexus:)

hey, welcome to the club! you should def get a 95 or younger since its already a gen II car and lots of problems has been eliminated and the car got lighter, bigger and more powerful. and its just simply a newer and and will give you less problems

welcome to the club! do 20% its more then enuff, check pix of my car in garage, i have 20% and i have beige interior and it still looks more then enuff.

it should concern you the most since its legal to sell then and legal to have them, but illegal to use them. same thing here in ny with radars. you are the one who is gonna get a ticket:)

HIDs are illegal as an aftermarket upgrade, i mean you can buy them and install them but they are not legal to use. clear bumper and tail lights are available on ebay for a very good price.

carbon and grease and all this stuff accumulates on sensors so you clean it like you clean other parts...
