  1. the K&n filter you are talking about will be for beneficial for your engine and save a little gas but not a noticable amount compared to your factory filter. you can find short ram intake systems but it takes alot of searching around the internet (not enough demand for stores to hold themselves) short ram is crap though. the best way to go is cold air intake. The only thing is that you will NOT find for the car. you will have to find one with the right size pipping and then get soeone to weld it to size and fir it on. hope that helped That did help. I decided to go the route of the inbox airfilter by k&n I should have it later this week. When you say beneficial. What are the "aprox" results of one of these filters. i have read 3-5hp and 2-4mpg.
  2. As mentioned in the title I own a 1996 es300. love the car. But it sounds...well. It doesnt make a sound. Im not going for ricer. Or anything like that. I want a good aftermarket airfilter kit, that changes the engine sound a bit. and helps increase mpg. (i understand it wont be anything drastic) Much like k&n's but, they dont make them for my car. I have been to every auto store in my area. All they offer is a k&n filter that sits in the stock OEM airbox. Which is no problem. I just want to know if that will achieve my goal. Or will I have to get a cone shaped filter? Someone Please help! Finding parts for this car is near impossiable
  3. Don't even bother taking them apart. if you have patients and time. Go buy Brasso. You can get it at any walmart home dept etc. Its a general purpose brass cleaner. BUT I had the same issue as you, and I was on the verge of purchesing new headlights. I used the brasso gave it two good rub applications on seperate days. let it set up. Wiped it off. And waxed them. The lights look like new, Ill post pictures later. Im currently at work.
  4. where can i get those? IE a good place to order them etc.
  5. My current head light len's are baked to the point they are foggy. does anyone know of a aftermarket company that sells them? The OEM toyota/lexus ones are rather expensive.
  6. update. The engine light went out for about a week, Then it came back. I have yet to replace the solenoid do you guys still think its a solenoid?
  7. I have a 1996 lexus es300 with 203k miles on it and still going strong
  8. where can I find information on which it might be? And how much do the solenoids go for?
  9. Hi! Im new here but i already have a question for you guys, I have a check engine light coming on with the code 773e, The car is a 1996 Lexus es300 it shifts fine through one two three gears. no shudders, hesitations etc. Had a Toyota tech look at it, and said that the trans. was on its way out. My father and I both don't buy that seeing the car drives fine! Can someone help me out? information on this code and such would be great! I have looked long and hard and can't find a thing about it. Thanks!
