  1. thanks jcrome...im getting ready to smoke the tail lights as well as the corner lights that came with the eagle eyes heres a pic of the corners that came with them
  2. those clear tail lights are ugly as ffffffffffffkkkkkkk! why not smoke em rather than get those gawd aweful things?
  3. A set of Eagle Eyes aftermarket headlights with Sylvania Silverstar bulbs would be a much better choice. You would get a much better HID look and better performance without blinding all the other drivers on the road. i have eagle eyes and had hids before that, there are a few problems with the hids, first of all one light would not come on all the time, and it varied, i would have to turn my lights off and then back on...also the lights had no direction, they just blasted into space so to speak (i have a 92)...i bought eagle eyes and they are fantastic lights and look better than any 1st gen and 2 gen lights until they switched (98) i believe
  4. u only want to clean the connectors with the CRC maf cleaner, do not clean anything else!!!! it has a vortex style sensor on it and will ruin it if u clean the wrong part of it
  5. totalled? insurance companies are nothing but a bunch of scam artists!
  6. heres mine on 235-40-18's...... 20 inch rims dont look good on a gen 1, they look better on a gen 2, btw i have megans on it
  7. u have left out all the details of how u went about doing this job...did u bench bleed the m/c? once u get it on after u bench bleed it u now have to bleed it at the lines where they connect to the side of the m/c, this is done differently then just bleeding, u have to have someone slowly push the pedal and u crack the lines as they push the pedal down, before they reach the bottom of the stroke tighten it up, do this until u get solid fluid...after this is done then u r ready to bleed the system starting from the driver's side rear, passenger side rear, passenger front then drivers front..if u have never done this before u need to get help from someone who has
  8. here is one....;) http://www.flickr.com/photos/34436028@N07/...083169/sizes/l/
  9. Napa sells WIX filters and are the best on the market...bar none u think toyota makes their own filters? lmfao! thats like saying they make their own wiper blades
  10. 87139 50010 that is the oem number i believe for the filter....u should be able to get that at most auto parts stores as for the ignition wires...get em from the dealer, they come with everything u need, including the holders for routing them
  11. u need to find out if its a fuel or spark issue...that is the first step, then u go from there
  12. lol..but maxlife is, so i gave an alternative to the "only use type iv fluid" beliefs..
  13. python, go back and reread the part where i said "STRAIGHT Dexron Won't work." what you linked is a product that specifically states it is compatible with Type-IV fluid. go walk into one of those auto shops and say that your trans uses Dexron fluid and im pretty damn sure they won't put in "MaxLife" unless you ask for it. the Maxlife page even specifies that it "contains a blend of superior base oils and a unique additive package" which is not "pure" dexron, although it may be compatible with such. if you want to start that up, Mobil is the company that supplies Toyota with the Type-IV fluid, and is commercially available through them as JWS 3309. http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorO...l_ATF_3309.aspx also, the SAME FLUID is crossreferenced to Ford, Volvo, Saab, and others. i was very specific in what i said, normal everyday Dexroniii/mercon does NOT meet Toyota T-iv requirements, and if his mechanic went and put in "normal" dexron, he is either an idiot, misinformed, or possibly both. do u know of any straight dexron 3 without mercon in it? cuz i dont sell it.....also compatible means it can be used instead of, doesnt mean it can or should only be mixed with...there has been lots of debates be most everyone here stating type iv is the ONLY fluid to use.....and that is not true
  14. here are the blades i have on both my cars, gen 1 Ls and a camry http://www.tricoproducts.com/brochure.cfm?...;location_id=65 also lexus does not make their own blade, im sure trico makes them
  15. dont put the oring in dry..put some sil glide or something on it
  16. well its the end result that matters i guess, but i dont think it jumped time...if the car is a tooth off the light comes on and throws a code...for it to run rough it would have to skip a few teeth
  17. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=53636 geez.....
  18. LMFAO!!! first of all,no oil but royal purple and redline is sold for 10 dollars a quart, second, oil is a commodity, thirdly that has nothing to do with auto parts and the knowledge of the guys working there compared to kragens,auto zone,pep boys, etc.....and echlin ignition parts are made to oem specs..but it dont matter i could care less where u buy your parts...u think toyota type iv is the only tranny fluid that is made for your car....have a nice day
  19. jumped timing? i would like to know how it did that and how they determined it jumped timing? belt skip a tooth? i highly doubt that....cam sensor? no!
  20. pull the door panel off the left side and ill bet u find the speaker is blown...i had to replce mine also
  21. pure drifter, u have extensive knowledge i will give u that, but i sell parts to auto shops every day of my life and ask many quesions and hear it all....if there is anyone who has resources for the automotive world on this forum ....its me,i have called and talked to the valvoline tech support..... so i will let u know that you need to read up on things before u make someone sound like a fool and call their mechanic an idiot and also correct his spelling.....read up http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/pr...l.asp?product=6 let me know if this tranny fluid wont work in your lexus and i will call them and let them know they are idiots like his mechanic is....i hope this puts an end to every post ive seen stating that type iv toyota fluid is the only fluid to use
