  1. It can be made to fit with some adapter plates for 9006 to the oem spec bulbs which are d2s or d2r 's Just pop this on the hid bulb and you can just pop them in. You will have to do some wiring though. Ebay has them from 200 -350 for a full conversion kit with no adapters needed ,which is probably cheaper and easier to install since it does not require any wiring to the car or headlights
  2. folia tec is the best looking and lasting system , it is now sold under the G2 label in the states much cheaper.
  3. NO their is no need to replace the bulb, you need to clean the outside of the lens as it is probably dirty with a fil a high speed buffer meguires plastic X or toothpaste will all help in that order
  4. Homer simpson drools over beer and doughnuts Sk is all over a Soarer, i want a 92 jdm one ,waiting for the 15 years rule to catch up to import one here.
  5. Sunoco 94 gas never sits as many performance minded owners and turbo owners won;t use anything else
  6. I used synthetic mobil 1 tranny fluid in my tranny, it now slips like hell . Other memebrs with tranny problems have also used mobil one in tehir ES. So all in all stay away form their tranny fluid I switched to amsoil synthetic and it has much improved
  7. I have a post it the buy and sell section for brand new oem gold emblems ,they used to be sold at lexus dealer from a wholesaler i know. They are oem so they fit right in the original holes
  8. I wish Lexus used some exterior styling of the good ol' english but the S tpye is just a lincon LS/volvo s60/xtype and maybe one other. It is crap in everything but looks. I drive tehm at work when i am bored ,real comfortable but i usually have to wlak around for a while to find a xkr or xjr that actually starts. Funny enough i hardly ever see a Lexus wher i work as no one lets them go.
  9. Why do you need to change your maf? They are pretty much indestrucable and sometimes need to be cleaned only,or their is a rip in the intake tube forma broken engine mount
  10. It showed up X2 because oe is a pending code and the otehr is from it being stored previously also.The egr runs bank one ,get it cleaned for carbon
  11. I drove a new BMW 7 series a few weks ago, full of toys and it was the most annoying thing to hit the gas and wonder if the engine fell out, I understand the point you are making about the driver retraining to its system. But the point is technology is supposed to help the owners and their expericance of it not hinder it,. Never mind for the companies to make stupid excuses of a fully engineered product. they should have labeled the US version the ES 330B for beta. Easiest way around this it to get a Canadian ecu and pop that in instead as they do not have the issues.
  12. I agree with the statments about not using the ES as a grocery getter as it will become a beater for such short distances of raw fuel running in it often and distilling inside the engien and componets. I would not bother with the service just yet ,wait till you have reached the milage marker or 20-30% over on the time interval.
  13. If you have some pics you could take to show the cars interior and exterior for paint finish then it would be easier to tell if it is worth it. I would only buy it after paying 2 professionals one is a body shop with a hoist to look underneath for structural damage second is a mechanic with a hoist, not your dad brother or someone else who thinks tehy know but someone who has a reputation and wouldn;t want it tarnished. You should get the valve cover removed to check the internal state of the engine and a compression test. Basically it can run about $200-300 for these test in advance in total but it can save you headache and provide with more peice of mind than you ever could ask for.
  14. Get it checked for engine sludge as a problem on all 99-01 ES 300's with free Lexus extended warr
  15. they make good kits have been around since the 80's ureathane is better than fibreglass
  16. Actually the camry ones do work, you need to cut the head off the old head from the shock to mount the new ones right on. I did it to mine as all replacments after will be that type anyway
  17. look at a tanker truck when it loads new gas at a station. Their are only 2 tanks. Why because their is only 2 types of gas the middle is a blend of regular and premium ,in a perfect world it might be even ,with fluctuating gas prices of the oil companies do you really think you would get the best you could or just enough to satisfy the basic requirment.
  18. I think every oil is different in properties just like cars some are better than others and some are lightyears ahead of the rest
  19. TRD doesn;t make tires nor do they make rims, they resel packages they aprove but the same rims are cheaper to buy elsewhere. 17 inch chromes with tires are about $1600 NEW They do use enkie alot as many other makers do as well.
