  1. I am so getting tired of all these stupid flash setup sites that look slow slick but you need a pentium bigillion to run them and the load time is like dial up all over again. Anyway. What bulb do you take for your fogs? $20 bulbs will not do anything unless they are silverstars otherwise get HIR's for $60 or get hid's for 300 but you want the lowest possible K value to make them more yellow not white or you will see nothing in any real fog or rain.
  2. One page all the codes . You needed to read further down the page to see the obd1 codes.
  3. This one works. It would have been a better idea to post in your existing thread rather than start a new one. Also it would have turned out nicely if you had torque stalled the car by holding the brake and the accelerator down at the same time before releasing it.
  4. Got to agree mulitple warping rotors is from massive amounts of heat transfer with no where to go. It is all about how the vehicle is driven, so vehicles are subject to more heat and will warp easier. I only have high speed wobble on my cars from light rain warping so unless i get to about 180km i don't feel it at all. I usually never have to change my rotors just pads but i change pads on my wifes lighter car every year and rotors every other.
  5. From the thread on wheel size and weigths in the wheel section Toyota Altezza (Lexus IS300) Z-Edition Cast 17x7 22.0 I agree it is not an attack it is just there are different opinons as th rims are from adifferent design era and do not flow with the car as some others do. but the rims themselves are very nice looking. To me it is like the current SC430 wheels and caps they look like crap on the sc but look very nice on a 97-01 ES300.
  6. I am going to move this to the general discussions as it will get alot more hits and more interesting results.
  7. Cutting/turning/machining a rotors surface reduces the overall thickness of the metal which makes it more susceptible to warping again from it having less metal to withstand the hot/cold differences.
  8. Every year is all dependent on the condition of the car and how much it is used in the winter. Also on what type of corrosion protection it has. If you spray the car well every month underneath in the winter at a power washer it should be ok.

  10. Now if you need a code read there are a few ways. 1. go to NAPA, autozone , PEPboys , jiffy lube ,mr. lube or anotehr local parts store .Most of them will always give you a free quick scan if asked to get the codes. 2.buy a code reader ever car since 97 until now use OBD2 compliant scanners.So every car you own can benifit from this tool which can save you headache by knowing what is happening and getting proper advice on here about its repair or to make sure you mechanic is not ripping you off.To me the last part is worth its weight in gold and any obd2 scanner can be bought as they are all exactly the same kind of like spoons, they look slightly different but serve the same purpose no matter what. Another option is to get a peripheral link if you have a handheld computer or laptop which can scan the codes as well and some will also data log some of the parameters to give more defined info. 3.Go to the dealer and get it read ,some do it for free. 4.I am not a fan of shorting pins and openly am telling you not to do it,but at your own risk here is the info to take a paperclip and the dash CEL will flash to correspond. How to clear the store codes and turn off the CEL Pin locations Trac system codes
  11. amsoil is not the best just better than off the shelf mobil 1
  12. you want a polish or a caliper/drum paint? but MB is right it has been covered. use the words " +cailper +paint " open to all forums and search
  13. It is not going to give you any difference because you don't know what it is ,where to install it or where ? Sounds like an ebay resister,have some fun and open it up and post some pics.
  14. How much fluid do you have? You might have leak
  15. these are just a few of the 4 pages of topics that show up when you search using the words "knock and sensor" as +knock +sensor the+ before a word makes sure the search has atleast the word in there. So if both of them have the + it reduces the threads that only have 1 of the 2 or more words. Here is what i got for search results. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...ck+%2B%2Bsensor then these are just a few threads that would help http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...=knock+++sensor http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...=knock+++sensor http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...topic=18977&hl= http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...topic=15337&hl=
  16. The easiest thing in the world is to run the Vin with the DMV and go ask the old owner. They don't care anymore abouts its problems as they sold it already. 18 000 for a good condition LS is ridiculously low if you find it snag it but there is probably a few expensive problems. Lots of dealers get other make trade ins all the time. If they don;t sell them in about 2 months they ship them off to wholesale auctions like Adessa which are located across north America.
  17. I guess i don't know much about those things Blake lmao for once i am glad i didn't get the joke easily.
  18. Yellows are pretty cheap to me a toyota battery is 130 an optima is 150
  19. That key is not from a 93 lexus but a newer one. You can get used keys from ebay and dremel off the plastic holding it and slide it back up out the shell and just reinsert your pre cut one and transponder in.
  20. TL and MDX have the same accord platform tranny and both have an amazing amount of failures. The RX has tranny to look at and make sure it has fluid changes as well as good insurance to get an inline filter. Only other thing is to have a motorvac every year or so to clean the carbon in the intake especially .
  21. lots of bmw forums depends on where you are in the world
  22. Here is a thought, who makes it where did you get it how many wires you know most of the important questions
