dropspace

hmm, weird...i guess i just have short legs and a long torso... like popeye. i took the seat off and pulled like hell on the retaining springs that hold the bottom of the seat up. that helped a bit...enough so that its not such an annoyance.

heh, yeah I know...its maxed at the bottom limit though

Ok this may be way off the wall but my only real problem with my ES is the roof height, especially when the sunroof drops it a copule more inches. I never really had a problem with my head hitting the roof of any other car (I am about 6' tall) but in this car I have to lean the seat waaay back to keep my head from hitting the roof and this is not very comfortable to me. So I am trying to figure out if I can drop the seat height... either I could try and take some of the padding out of the seat or actually drop the two back mount points (the fronts are on a support that is part of the body). this may be a long shot, but has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Hey all, I have to thank everyone for all the great info first off. I just got a 92 ES that was pretty much babied by a 90 year old lady who took it to the lexus garage for service its whole life. dash lights were going out (not the needles, thank god), thats about the only thing i can see thats wrong with this thing. I did read all the discussions about K&N's already, but could not see if anyone with a 92 has dropped one in. All the sites say 93-97 for that model but not 92. Now from what I can tell the engine is identical to a 93 and was changed to an aluminum block in 94. So will this filter fit in a 92? Also, after having a complete transmission meltdown in my other car (01 expedition, all wheels locked up going 35 mpg producing large chunks of metal from what used to be gears in the tranny) I wanted to get the tranny flushed on the 92 ES. I inquired about this at a toyota dealer figuring a lexus dealer would rape me and he said about $179 for a tranny flush. Does this seem accurate? that seems a little high considering there is no filter in this tranny to change either. He also said that this tranny took "special" fluid. Doesn't say anyhthing about special fluid in the owners manual. just dexII... Thanks again for the help...I look forward to contributing
