  1. I am sure they have a few 93-97 GS camber kits. Have you gotten the alignment done since the drop? Are the arms already adjusted to there max positions ?
  2. Are they new OEM from the dealer or new to you from another car ? The horns are drawing too much current , either get new ones or a wiring harness and relay
  3. could be either , tons of topics since 1998 when lexus started with HID's . Start by swapping a bulb.
  4. you can stagger them but your better off with matching wheels and a rear spacer as it is a fwd .
  5. if you have that many problems, start with a new battery. I am sure there is a button under the dash (by the pedals )for the beeps to be turned on and off .
  6. A good place to start is the search box, try and and you will get a wealth of information on this very common problem with AWD RX's .
  7. 10 inch and wider rims and a sub 20 offset is a more aggressive fitment . Those are standard sizes above.
  8. if one side is dead the timing belt skipped a few teeth on that side cam. Get a proper technician to look at it .
  9. front strut rods are gone and the camber arm is just that. it is a part and it wears , the bushing is dead.
  10. Coolant temp sensor can be bad and still read on the dash , doesn't mean it is any good , just working. You problem is fuel as the spark and timing seem to be working fine once fluid is added. Get some seafoam for the oil and a full can for 1/2 tank of gas , google for ways to do it . It sounds to be injector related and I think you car has a cold start injector in the intake which may not be working.
  11. pick a year range as 98-00 or 01-05 are not the same for build or power . A 6 speed is a waste of money , might as well get a 300 if you want that route as well as the same thing for forced induction . You are starting with the wrong car . Even with a 300 to do the swap and build to reliability you are looking at 15K .
  12. the wrong head gasket is a good idea , also check to make sure the fan is running , does the secondary electric fan come on when it is overheating? Also checked for a plugged rad.
  13. Might also be it is shifting firmer as it is cleaner but you have worn or broken engine transmision mounts.
  14. I need to edit the video as it is in 4 peices and upload it to youtube . Sprintbooster has a website I think sprintboosterusa .
  15. just loosen the shock at the top and swing it away .
  16. LOL , it works on every Lexus 01 and newer except the is 300 as it was the old school drive by wire. Probably a few more they don't have a module for either. I been around but life has caught up with me slowly being a Dad.
  17. OK ,so I bit the bullet and decided to get s sprint booster throttle control module for my 03 GS430 . I have K&N filter HKS exhaust and Tein CS . So nothing to really add power . Why did I buy it ? I have hated the throttle control drive by wire system on my 03 from day one. I love my 98 LS400 for its much more direct engine response . As most drivers who have driven both the 98-00 and 01-05 they notice the difference very easily . It makes the 98 feel faster and the 03 sluggish even though it has more power. Why does it do that ? the Engineers at Toyota want the car to have good fuel mileage by reducing sprint starts . Also to reduce wheel spin and keep the car more controllable . Problem is it leads to a lag in the throttle . Meaning for the first 40% of peddle travel the throttle barely opens 10% . How does this work ? It modulates the throttle pedal instructions through an algorithm telling the ecu to open the throttle as much as you are pressing not what it thinks is appropriate . So 10% pedal travel is more equal to 10% throttle opening . It has 3 modes with a colored LED to tell you . Off -OEM back to stock . Green -sport ? closer to a 1:1 ratio more control of the peddle Red -race ? is WOT at 75% .So faster response How do you install it ? Anyone can put it in , it is so simple . I made a video but don't have any video editing software to make the 4 clips one full length . You unplug the harness to the base of the actual gas pedal , plug the module into the gas peddle and plug the harness into the other side of the module as it sits between the 2. Then run the led controller to a desired position to adjust which setting you want. Will it make your car faster ? YES , a side by side comparison of a car with it and without it and the sprint booster would be well away before the stock one gets going . This doesn't make sense does it as they even say the power doesn't change ? Well the top rated power output of your car does not change the ability to use it on tap does ! So this means while the stock car has the peddle buried in the carpet the ecu is only using 60-70% of its power until it gets past 40 . While the module car is at WOT all the way through. Wondering how it works ? You see the switch on the center console you already have ? Its called snow , normal and power . It is the same thing except it also controls transmission shift points as well. If you have the car with the throttle depressed to hold the engine at 2000rpm then move the switch from normal to snow it drops the RPM's , now rev the engine and it is really slow to respond like it is struggling . Now switch it to power and the car is rev happy when you press it . This module is the same thing but on steroids . You can still use the button with the module for fine tuning to your preference which is great. My personal review . I installed it a month ago and waited to see its effects and it has performed just as expected . I knew what I wanted changed and this did it for me. It is a mod for DRIVERS grannies need not apply. If you feather your gas pedal while under cruising speeds to maintain your speed , you need a driving lesson not this . How do you know you need this module ? If your a driver like me who requires the car to be providing as much feedback as possible you would have had the car in 3rd most of the time until you get to a cruising speed as the transmission is never in the right gear and the throttle response is horrendous. I now can leave the car in O/D and it works perfectly. I really love driving this car for the first time since I bought it. As before I would have taken my LS400 out any day over this .Now it is a decision which the LS usually still wins since its on air ......... Let the "know it all's" , "wanna bees" and "haters" please line up in an orderly fashion to tell me I don't know what I am talking about . Just be respectful and make sure you are clear in what you are saying by posing a question and supporting facts to your conclusion . this is a discussion not a kindergarten whining session of " i don't like it " and 50 posts of what the hell you are trying to say like my 2 year old .LMAO
  18. cuabski make a new thread from this one on its own. I don't own a 92 but it does have a fuse and is activated by the stalk.
  19. the kit for 95-97 is more than likely the 98-00 rear sway bar as it is much larger.
  20. wont fit 95 and up LS's . Also depends on the center hub caps you have , the 5 star of the pie plate ones. No one wants the plate one.s
  21. dei is beyond omega ( only used them for the wiring schematics) and prestige , wow haven't head or seen them since roll up window modules were the thing . The remotes usually look the same but are not , one problem I had with the is that the type of battery causes them to act funny for programming it in. swap in a different type .
  22. owners manual is your firend
  23. common with a bad battery
