Problem....i Hear Some Clicking Sound When I Turn
SKperformance replied to MCV20's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
awww damn mcv you have a broken cv joint it is a pin to change also i am guessing you have a damged boot which contaminated the grease in the boot wearing out the cv( constant velocity joint) it goes from the tranny to the wheel hubs and flexes with the suspension www.toyotanation.com has some repair tips -

SKperformance replied to bbsal's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330

Can Anyone Explain Exactly What Ect Is?
SKperformance replied to skeemer's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
first thanks for the reinforced point mezoom especially from such a well known es mod second the only thing i can think that kept it from slipping by using the ect button is that the power or torque curve would drop at higher rpms causing less slippage when released was it a thuding kind of noise? my work truck does this all the time when put into reverse and i am still on the gas but it is a 2001 dodge caravan,what should i expect lol sounds like the valve body and check balls in it where sticking causing the clutch plates to not disengage fast enough, thus slipping before the next gear could be issued by the learing of th valve to the next set of clutches if that helped to bypass the problem i really do feel bad for the new owner of that car but i am sure the dealer is getting stuck with the 30 day warrenty atleast nice to see you still have time even with your new scooby are you going to take the sti version out for a trip yet?( if it is avail yet) -

Any advise on modifying 2003 Lexus ES 300
SKperformance replied to nix_max's topic in Lexus Modifications Forums
i have been in the 1mz-fe engine car which was supercharged not enough bite for the money never mind it will want to eat through the tranny they still both use the 1mz-fe engien camry and es the 330 engine is on its way though the drop in K&N filter is used by stevie j though and itsaves him some gas though a good mod shop can custom build a cold air intake for it probably around $300 -
first question is where are you located? second is what do you mean by factory style you can put an aftermarket system of a tv in the dash and add on nav aorund 2600 you will neeed a new face plate built also to house it do you want an in dash tv screen or one that pops out hen the car is on and hides when it is off? i have one in my es 300 bt no nav yet

sorry i am a little lost when they say you are at 45% and not 5 what are they refering to running lean is not the best depending on the situation i run real lean at idle and real rich at wot when i dynoed my car i had an air fuel reading also all engines run on the 14.4 rule it works for many automotive measures like 14.4 vdc for electric power when the car is running ( even though it is rated a 12vdc system) 14.4 parts of air to 1 part fuel is the "perfect" mixture for a so called perfect burn soi am at a lose on what they are trying to say fully all depends on the variables try and be descriptive as posible like was there a reason the car went in for service?

i have 18x7 with a 40mm offset 225/40 18 toyo t1-s tires so far that is the widest for the mcv-10 chasis 92-96 there is no way to do a wide body kit on an es as the rear lips have less than an inch of fender to remove or roll as the rear quater is so close to the door mine does not rub at all with weight spare and a full audio system the options for a lip kit by trd are possible with slight mods ( not sure what they are ) it is a nice kit but for a 97-99 camry but fits on those years like a charm the pakign brake will ot rub as it is by the hub and located inside the rotor hub 7.5 inch wide rims can be used but i don't have them so i can't say but i have a 1 inch drop also

i use a big o'll vat of coco butter from wal mart it smells so creamy it works wonders if you put it on the seats when hat and leave for a few hours it soaks right in do it every 2-3 days for 2 weeks and the seats will look amazing and leave no residue try doing it at a lunch break and when done wipe the seats with a rag quickly and go home do it again a few days later it will look great i have used everything you can think of and they are all the same just with different smells( some are worse than others) never use armour all(EVER!!!!!!!!) NOT EVEN FOR YOUR TIRES even if it is for you tractor on the farm , it is a real crappy product of you really have money to spend use glysomed hand cream it is even better after all leather is skin right?

Can Anyone Explain Exactly What Ect Is?
SKperformance replied to skeemer's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
as already expalined ect is just a button it really does nothing you dont already do pin the pedal and it will shift higher, with or without the button try it,same rom shift point ,when throttle is wide open it is ony for moderate driving where someone might feel the car is under powered,all the time mine is off i don't waste my time using it -

the badges remove easiest on a hot day as the double sided tape is more plyable use dental floss and a good wax remover after to remove the last of the glue there are little plugs behind each emblem that remove very easily the only question is what year you you have as the 92-94 have the es 300 on the rear light on the right side but the 95-96 have them on the trunk lid so in order to replace them you would have to change that light as they are a pain in the !Removed! to take of the light ( i took mine off)

jet has been known to be shady they say the change eprom settings but under a dyno they give less power or the same ( as if they didn't change anything at all) a complete waste of time don't waste your money unless you want a sticker
-
need to be more specific are the fading, pittting, peeling,? detail shops usually have people who redo and do the emblems on the car but it would need to be cleaned down first to get it back smooth to reattach the gold water dealer has some ebay lots of places to look for them but it probably is easy or cheaper to remove and replace with new ones depending on the problem

Some Dumb Questions From Japan Chris!
SKperformance replied to AusJapanWindom's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
the chasiss code for 92-96 is mcv 10 97-01 is mcv 20 that is about as close as it gets the parts would need alot of modifying to get them on properly wouldn't be worth the price of the car now putting it on a civic is another thing lol starlet ,real nice car is it the turbo one i love them small light real fast and a toyota to top it off almost like a mini supra later -
sounds like it might be throttle related or a fuel pump no warrenty left? cheapest and easiest fix try cleaning the throttle body and a fuel injector one also
