I'm not sure about 94, but it's a solder in bulb behind the dash.Generally speaking it's alot of work for one bulb. BUt, I know I would do it. Can you post a pic of the gauge cluster and I can tell you more then. I'll need a shot of the gauge cluster, and the dash itself. From that I can tell you where to start and how to get to where you need. You might wanna try posting this in the ES forum, where ES owners will see it.

If he has a CAI and exhaust, then he needs to has a retune also. The ECU doesn't self adjust for the added air flow, so he's probably running lean. And that is also why it hesitates and seems to find the "go" later. And what tranny problems?

I just saw this on the road. That is FUGLY !!! It's the new Jeep Compass.

Ok.

Mileage won't have anything to with the caliper itself, but if they are seeing brake fluid and it's not a line leak, then your probably losing a piston seal. In that case, yes, you should have the calipers replaced. They are not cheap though. At 140k miles, I would seiroulsy consider aftermarket calipers. You'll save hundreds. In fact, I would put power slot rotors on, and EBC Green brake pads. and get calipers. ( I can look into it for you but I think they have a trade out program where you get rebuilt calipers and give them your used ones and they charge less. Of course that means no brakes until you send them the calipers and they send you the rebuilt ones. anyway, you would end up with a way better braking and half the cost.

I just thought he had some questions and was doing a snivelling about some extra work. DAMN!!!!! litttle did I know this was the doorway to worldwide religious unrest.

As far as the paint goes, yeah, Autozone or some auto parts store around you should have it. There is a difference between high temp paint and brake caliper paint. bc paint being more durable.The high temp clear is best, but try to use the caliper paint if you can. If they don't have that color, I would ask them to order it. But lime green or ( Kawasaki green) would be a great color. My freind has that on his black 94' Eclipse. The 2JZE I6 uses a 10:1 compression ratio. The lower the compression, the higher the power needs. Most cars that run on 87 have a 12:1 ratio, or more. So I would stick with 91 atleast. Here in Florida we have 93 octane. Makes for a nice combustion sounds....... Yeah man. the entire family comes over and we have football games, softball, and the girls all put the food together, and few of us guys do the grilling, and the big screen is going with music and the whole bit. Our family has 100+ people. So when we have a real family get together, we rent a gazeebo at the state park and do it there. It's nice because we allways have enouph players for full teams.LOL!!!!

Hello, Well, you know what they say about opinions...... Could the speakers in the ML systems have been designed better in some cases? Absolutely. Should you avoid playing rock or rap on your Lexus ML system? NO, I never said that. What I said was that you would be best off listening to the music the way the engineers and artists who recorded it intended. I assure you their studio monitors don't have the bass bands boosted some 10 dB or more druing mixing. I'm not touting the limitations of any system as an asset. I'm just letting you know where the weaknesses are here so you can avoid the major headache of damaged equipment. It just so happens that I personally feel that maxing out the bass on a system that measures damn near flat from 20Hz to 20kHz before you even touch it is misguided to put it mildly. In this case (and lots of others at all price points for that matter) it also happens to be hazardous to your gear. You seem to be implying that natural frequency response equals sterile sound. If that were the case, then all live unamplified music would sound dull and lifeless, which is a ridiculous suggestion. Sounds to me like you're blaming some other system problem(s) on the fact that certain things are being done very well. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. MrL Hey there MrL. Before I reply, I want you to know that I see this as a conversation between two fairly knowledgeable people reviewing the different points of audio components and sound reproduction, and not an argument over opinions. What do engineers know what the artist intended? And have you listened to music today? Your telling me that bass is not the intended sound? Hip Hop, Rap, House, Metal, Urban, Techno, R&B, Alternative....all are emphasizing the lower frequencies my friend. I even have some Jazz that will test the dynamic headroom of some of the most powerful amps and leave them crying for you to stop. And that is leaving the EQ flat. How they mix a track has nothing to with a flat reproduction curve. Moving the bass levels up does not cause damage. Distortion causes damage. So long as you stay within the decibel level limits, and power consumptions, you should be fine. In fact, you could very easily damage the same system on a flat EQ by simply pushing the system beyond it's power limits for extended periods of time. Bass has nothing to do with it, other than the fact that bass levels require alot more power. Only if your gear doesn't have enouph headroom. Which is what I was saying about the ML system. They didn't provide enouph headroom in the stock amps for the real user. And your also correct in that they could have used better speakers. But here again. aftermarket has allways pushed car manufacturers. Even as good as the ML system is, for the same money you could get a much better system aftermaket. I actaully said that accurate sound reproduction, not natural frequency responses. You can sit there and tell me that the ML No. 432 sounds like a Jolida JD3000A-PP211 tube amp? Not even close.......Look at the CD. VERY ACCURATE, but a real audiophile prefers vinyl albums.( Just without the pops and crackles.)Because they actually sound better than a CD, even though a CD is more accurate. Why? That ambient warmth. It's not the note itself, it's the spaciousness between the notes. The depth of the soundstage. And I have to tell ya, that kind of sound is intoxicating. When I can close my eyes and see the wooden floor stage with my ears, and feel the back of the audience with the hairs on the back of my neck. Let me tell ya, My audio system does this very well.
