Hhhmmmm.....this may be a bit off topic, but speaking of brakes and rotors......any opinions about using ceramic brakes? Any opinions about replacing the original factory rotors with slotted rotors instead? Is this recommended? Thanks.

I just lost my only remote-enabled master key to my 1990 LS400. Dealerships want $245 for a replacement, in addition to $140 for labor to reprogram / install the new chip. $400.00 !!!!......for a $10 key with Radio Shack technology??!!! It's a shameful money-grab. OK, so do I have any less expensive viable alternatives if I want to maintain the ability for remote entry? I'd appreciate some constructive feedback. Thanks.

Hey Dogboy, I realize that your original post was over a year ago, but people seem to still reply to it. I have a 1990 LS400 with the factory phone. I am currently using a Verizon Razr V3 cell phone. What kits can you recommend? Thanks -Ayan

I want to replace my original 1990 LS 400 stereo (tape deck only) with another original, BUT with the CD player and control button, mint condition or brand new, if possible. My original stereo is still in perfect working condition, if anyone is interested in it. LCD display is still in perfect working condition. There's only 54,000 miles on my car (not a typo). My last post on this subject was a long time ago (+ 6 months). Received a response from PIONEERSUBY. Are you still around? Any suggestions on where I can get one would be much appreciated. I plan to install it myself, so I'm hoping all necessary wiring and such will already be included. I want it to be an easy and problem-free operation as possible. Thanks. -Andrew

Thanks, 93LSOwner. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Now if you or someone can only determine whether the dimensions are compatiple, as well as all the attaching hardware. I guess the available color should also be important.......mine is the run-o-the-mill brown leather. Thanks again.

I've also been asking around for interchangeable parts as well. I've been looking for a rear-seat armrest that has the built-in cupholders for my 1990 LS400. Lexus included this feature starting in 1994 or 1995? Anyway, am still pursuing this option if anyone can further help me along. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a good multi-CD player that is compatible and can be controlled through my original 1990 LS 400 radio?....that can also be mounted in the glove compartment? Thanks. I like the look and feel of the original trim and don't really want to replace the trim with the aftermarket mount.

Don't know whether this guy is already a member of this forum or not, but I think his website should be pinned. He has great and very helpful picture tutorials. While this forum provides great feedback, a picture is worth a thousand words. http://www.lexls.com/

Thanks 99lsguy

Can someone please detail a procedure for me regarding a total coolant flush....where are all the nuts and things are? How much liquid am I dealing with here? I'm supposed to use Toyota's red-colored coolant? What's the name of that stuff? Thanks.

yes, it's illegal to tint the front driver and passenger side windows because the CHP cops can't see into the cabin when they're approaching you. THAT's the real reason why, not because of any perceived "driver-reduced visibility" concerns.

The only comments that I've received about my 1990 LS400 is, "Hey, that's an old-man's car!". Comments like that just rolls off my back, but kinda funny nonetheless.

Check out this link. It has awesome picture tutorials perfect for your needs. http://www.lexls.com

Mine, I guess, is a rare oddity. 1990 LS400 with 50,200 miles. Inherited it from Dad who rarely drove it (don't know why). Luckily, it was always garaged. Just changed all the fluids, and completely detailed it inside and out (9 hours!!!). Suffice it to say, it won't stay garaged anymore. :D

How do you clean all the applicator pads and microfiber towels used for detailing your car, so that they are reusable again? I just waxed my car with a microfiber applicator pad using Collinite 845 Insulator wax. The pad is now caked with wax. How do I clean this stuff off? Same question for the pads that I've used for applying Meguiar's Deep Polish Cleaner and Meguiar's No. 7 ShowCar Glaze. Same questions with the microfiber towels. Once I've started wiping off the polish, the glaze, and the wax (different towels of course), it left behind stuff that I apparently can't wash off just by throwing them into the washing machine. Please advise. Thanks.
