Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to remove it?

You should get 18 mpg in city and 23 mpg on the highway.

Welcome to the club. B) The gauge needles are a common problem with early model ES's as well as the LS's. They specialize in this: http://www.lextech.org/ This is a pinned topic in the General Maintenance forum of this: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=1388&

I usually drive under 2k rpms also, but if there are cars behind me I do go faster. Last time I had the car I believe [not sure] my car did 60-70mph with a little under 3k rpm. But we can't compare our cars with Blake's, since he has more HP with a lighter car. ;)

Well, I'm looking forward to that. :)

WOW, that is CHEAP. The cars value is around, for a private party seller: $22,855 and retail:$26,935 [from kelly blue book].

No problem, glad you like it. Just for fun: sMoKiN'

jbarhorst2, thanks for the compliment. B) afaleti, this is going to be a piece of cake because you have straight side views of the car. I use Adobe Photoshop Version 7.0 and learned everything from this website and links from this websites: www.photoshopjunkie.com I just started doing this last week because I couldn't find anything fun to do and found this to be very interesting, so I'm not a pro or even close.

Wow, nice rims. Why don't you photoshop them to a LS430. I have nothing to do right now plus it is a lot of fun; so, I'll get on it. I'll put them on this one: is it OK with you?

No prob. B)

I got hired at Circuit City [selling computers] and got paid $9.25. This was my first job, and I had no other work experience. I was really amazed that I got hired, because there was only one other 17 year old guy that worked at that Circuit City, because he was a 110% computer nerd also a very good salesman. Also, that Circuit City ranked second in having the highest sales in NC. Anyways, it got hard for me to work and go to school (the finals were coming) plus at that point I had a bunch of college essays to write, top it all of with my senior project (which I had to be on the top of). So, I had to give up my work. And, everything turned out great all A’s, got into the colleges, and had the highest grade on the senior project in the whole senior class. I graduated this May, and the whole summer I have been unsuccessful in finding a job similar to that one, and I haven’t worked since then and I miss working at Circuit City. I think getting hired is important but not as significant as it is too actually work hard and keep the job. But, considering that there are not pleanty of jobs out there [at least for us under 18], it is actually the other way around.

In yahoo, type in "plating" you will get thousands of results with services and check the yellow pages in there also to see who does the job locally.

They need to be re-plated. Or you can buy new onces cheap from Ebay. In the below post a member had his gold emblems replated and has the info. on who did the job: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...topic=9713&st=0 Search for the word "emblem" in the LOC search engine, there are A LOT of threads about this topic.

Click below: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/LS Ok. Now, do you see where it says, "admin options" in a bar. Click on it and pick "add photos" a new window should come up and just add your photos in by clicking on "browse" and then in the bottom click on "Upload Now" and then it will upload the pics from your computer and then you are done.

Of course, 1UZ-FE mad props to you too for finding those threads and responded in less than 2-hours to the this topic. Its not easy to find exactly what you are looking for in the forums right away. Thats what LOC is all about.

I agree. I can see myself asking the same question if I was going to buy a used or even new car. WandaWoods, thats a lot of good info, I'm really impressed. I think everyone here will apreciate your work as much I do. B)

Oh there is another Lexus on ebay with it, a 1996 LS400: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=14240 The LS looks ok, I guess. But the ES looks ridiculous. :chairshot:

The reason why is because the picture does not meet the below requirements: All photos must be no larger than 100 kB. Photos must be no bigger than 250 pixels by 250 pixels. Do this, copy the picture into your computer from the CD and then use which ever program you have to edit the photo and make it smaller. To find out how big the picture is: As you come here to LOC, click on browse and see the picture in the new pop-up widow, right click on the picture and pick properites, there you can see if it is below 100kb in size. If not, then jut simply go back and resize the picture.

This thread about 'website recommendations' has some websites: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...howtopic=11316&

Congrats on the car. B) Mine had very sloppy steering and all I needed was wheel aligment and it was back to normal.

Yeah you are right. I guess I will go around the car and scratch all the windows and ask my parents to buy new tinted ones. Because thats the only way I'm going to get them. ;) j/k I have never seen a car with the color tint that my car has, so I don't know where to get the tint. For no more than $125, right!?

Actually, it was 1,6xx or something but below 1,200. I use to take it out of the garage and head to school and then come back and back in the garage. But, this all changed after May when my brother took the car for the summer and now it sits in the hot sun in Atlanta, GA. Then later it will outside of my university.:cries: WHY!!??!

That's what my friends say too, when they ride with me. I have never driven the LS more than 20 mintues alone, one time for 1.5 hours but my family was riding with me, talking. Since, I bought the car in January, 2004 I have driven 1,200 miles and 95% of them on the hwy. I love driving the LS, on the hwy I like to drive fast because the faster it is the better I feel, and it is a joy when I pass ppl who are on the far left lane from the middle lanes. Usually, I just go behind whoever is going fastest. :P Most of the time it's me.
