  1. hey rex look in the gallery i have more pics in the es section from the car show i won mainly because i had the stickers :D
  2. personally i wouldn't even bother using a key on stock rims especially for an ES who is going to steal tehm the tires are probably worth more than the rim besides if they go then you get to pick a nice new set BTW i have GTA vice city it is an amazing video game lol and live i the GTA (greater toronto area)
  3. it seems alot of people are having problems but they also have changed there fluid atleast once i wonder if any original fluid owners are having problems? i used type 3 synthetic in my es 300 and now it is slowly going and has been for 4 years some how the tranny is just not made to work with synthetics also
  4. umm how do you know one rim is bent if you dno't know which one?
  5. oh yah i fogot thanks for the reply on what was wrong
  6. the airbags would be a problem as well as the cruise th outer hub would fit but not be able to hold the old trim bits i bought a camry wheel and found out it is a 97 and up one and it fits the screw hub but not the bag some wheels will fit but it is the distance away from the stalks that can cause problems like my civic different years but all hubs fit until you put it on you are either too close or too far every year loves to change almost
  7. you don't need a grounding kit the product is a scam , as you would be adding ultiple gorunding points which can induce noise form the charging system it is an amazing idea to replace old wiring though especially the main chasiss gound under the battery and the wire to the starter i did and found the car more responsive and starter faster but i also changed the battery and terminals i am going to change the alternator wire next plus i beefed up all the wiring i changed to 4 gauge with gold connectors the kits are about 100 and for about 20 you cna buy the wire and do it your self
  8. first question is it original chrome from lexus as i only know of the coach edition having chrome rims from lexus and second are you sure it is even chrome and not polished rims looks much shinier than aluminum but not as much as chrome which is a almost perfect mirror finish
  9. hmm sorry for my ignorance i didn't read the article wife is always calling me lol it would be impossible to make it illegal besides on the road blue headlight bulbs are illegal but they are still sold here and tehy are utterly useless for the driver with them to see the road or what is ahead but it makes them think my lights look cool because it looks like hids
  10. welcome but i think you are looking at the wrong car the sc 300 is a supra can be made twin turbo and is a 2 door the es is a camry is somewhat slow ok soft for handling and high on reliablity you may want a sc 300 or the 400 with the v8 instead of an inline 6 got to love those swaps i just did a zc in my ef third engine in 4 weeks but i got a new tranny and clutch to save some time 1500 later
  11. join the ranks of almost every lexus owner ecept the lx gx and rx which are placed higher for seating and space
  12. hid conversion kits are not legal or dot they never where or are as they have to have a level adjustment on them to be legal which the aftermarket ones don't but i still love mine
  13. 2 things could make the rotor warp again so fast a mechanic who uses an air gun to tighten the nuts instead of the proper way which is a technition who uses a torque wrench to slowly apply even pressure on the hub and the second is the way you drive if you brake to harshly the pads will warp and you will always end up with the same problem unless you change you driving style
  14. ok i am going to guess what you would like to know it is amazing stuff if you can find it can get a bit preicey but the container lasts a while it can be used to wash the car but i use it instead of drying it so i basically power wash the car then soap then drive to air dry and leave it to water spot an hour later i use the dri wash to remove water spots and presto it looks perfect,water spots gone ad the paint (especially if a dark colour looks great) as it has optical enhancers( i don't know what it is but it works) i also can use thoses red shaggy dust wands after to remove the dust than rewash it only down side is it collects alot of dust, compared to after a regualr wash if yo want more ifo start a new thread with tdri wash as the header as this leather one will lose this point for info as it is already 2 pages
  15. if you press the gas does it keep the engine from dieing?
  16. it doesn't sound normal try another dealer and then head office
  17. welcome adam and thanks for looking before asking the replacment of the ant will help get it to go down again the bad reception i am not sure about it just maybe a loose connection somwhere might as well start with the simplest since it is already broken that you can see
  18. gotta love that kinda problem i work for the phone company and when ever i go to someones house they always say, why couldn't you have come yesterday now it works fine the ( buzz ,static ,hum no dial tone ) is gone lmao
  19. not a bad price at all for everything now get rid of the prestige alarm and you will be perfect its like putting a skoda part on a lexus they make crap in regards to the hammer i am pretty sure they hit the solenoid as it is the part that sticks but i never got into the exact enginneering of the hammer technique,or it ounce weight lol
  20. it would not make a difference where you put it but i don't know of anyone who has done it i think it is a peice of !Removed! i talked to the guy and am still waiting to see a proper dyno chart in dyno viewer format 4 weeks later as the dyno sheets can be made to show better hp and torque by changing the altitude and otehr variables take it for yourself as to wy he hasn't answer i think the one guy on ebay is also from toronto but said he does not do pick ups? what the hell is up with that?
  21. i would say the laser is off and needs to be realigned or cleaned i have never used a cleaner cd and not sure how it could clean anything
  22. i would ask what the 1100 is for is it labour parts if it is mainly labour then get the whole thing if it is parts then......... you know
  23. please make sure you and steve are in a pic of the car so it can go in the gallery so the rest of us can get an idea of you guys later oh yah try and have some nice little bitties beside you guys 2 lmao
  24. i like the ls for a smooth luxury ride it is not a car to be driven hard but will get you there very sedate the sts is more geared to be a drivers car but not a very good one it is kinda sloppy in the suspension and it is always falling apart has no resale and the northstar engine is now completly different thant then save your money and buy the ls its parts are not as ridiculas as merceded or bmw it is inline with any other toyota part and all models have resale of a good degree just loook for a power steering pump to be leaking on to the alternator which is abuot the only main issue with the car other wise go an enjoy also stay away form an airbag suspension model it feels great to drive but when it breaks and it does it is big bucks
