  1. they are used like stevie said it basically helps to keep the geometry of the suspension squared think of it like a box with the top cover panels open it bends much easier it reduces lean or roll in turns also increases steering wheel feel
  2. 50 is really high a 42 is the most for aftermarket,18X 7.5 but an offset means nothing without the rim size and width what size do you want to use?
  3. a cat or squirrel may have *BLEEP*ed on your windsheild acumilating at the base of the window inside the shroud which is where the inlet for the a/c is those products do help alot if the heat is never turned on every so often if useing the a/c for a while you might want to go to a power washer first and run the hose for about a few minutes with the soapy water to loosen any dried deposits if it still persists then try the products to remove the residuale
  4. umm not sure but why try and save money by using inferior ford parts to get by there are a few camry door regualtors on ebay but it may be as simple a wire not the motor
  5. what stevie j said is a much better solution the only thing i might add it arm yourself with knowledge before going to the shop speak to the dmv and see what they have to do before a test as in if the have to make sure the cat is up to par i know with my 94 at idle i can still touch the exhaust even though the engine is at temp as the exhaust is very cool compared to most cars might save a few steps good luck
  6. contact your local dmv they might be able to resolve the issue in your state
  7. i use premium gas all the time i tried the ultra one that is 94 octane ( instead of 91) and funny enough i find i am pressing less on the pedal for the same results in speed but i also just ran a fuel treatment like i seem to tell everyone get a motorvac also clean the throttle plate when is the last time you changed the plugs and the air filter which can affect the milage drastically
  8. the stock system is tuned for itself only replacing one part leaves it sounding awful the speakers are very very efficent meaning uses little power for lots of movement aftermarket speakers are not as efficent as they usually try and reproduce sounds better so you might want to save some more and change the amp all together when you can afford it the front doors i used 5 1/4 but i think the orignal plate if not used will hold a 6 1/2 depending on the magnet protrusion towards the window glass the tweeters are 1 inch but any good tweeter has a solid screw type mount on its back or mount
  9. save the head ache do a motor vac will clean the plugs and valves plus get the cat real claen to make full heat for efficency
  10. the new es i have no idea about on changing things but you are buying a lexus and there definatly is no worries that lexus wont take care of
  11. 92-96 all have the same speakers rims largest known without rubbing is 225/40 18 tires 18 X 7.5 inches with a 42mm offset for the rims no rubbing with any kind of weight or lowering
  12. pull the vent out above the a/c 2 screws behind it another 2 undr the radio hidden under plasctic panel to be poped off has a whole metal bracket holding chasis of a/c and radio together to seperate the 2
  13. i think it is unknown the amount of damae until the unit is opened and i have never heard of the problem you are experiancing sounds like one of the cables is broken but almost useless as i don;t think parts can be bought only whole units check with lexus for parts
  14. you have atleast 2 problems the rocker isn't anything to worry about the higher speeds can mean oil pump failure or you are low on oil did you check that yet?
  15. if i remmebr right hc is hydro carbons which is unburned fuel sounds like an egr valve maybe try cleanding the throttle or a motor vac
  16. exactly with you loading the car already with people and other things i would say rent a truck as the es towing is like asking a man to shovel snow in his driveway wearing panties and a bra he will get the job done but not properly and may end up losing some bits along the way as well :chairshot:
  17. what i think of that unit is well you get what you pay for to put it nicely nuy a p;ay station 2 instead it plays dvd's and you can play games as well if interested in that boss is very low end flea market products there is no kit i know of for a 97 and up es only 92-96 buy a good flip up style head like the aplipe or pioneer ones much better and reliable of course more $ but then again no one needs a tv in there car they just want it for show so do it right and do it once p.s. i also have the alpine flip out screen and a ps2 in mine but it goes to shows
  18. the words deal and mc intosh don't go togther the dealers want top dollar for the product usually around 1000 try and find a mc intosh dealer near you and see if they have a used one their are not many mc dealrs to start with have you see what their decks look like? very 60's plain styling but have ble lights and unbelivable sound
  19. lowering springs and struts a short pipe air intake strut bar sway bars drilled and slotted rotors any muffler can be put on a good performance shop can custom make a cold air intake ( much better than a short pipe which is actually bad ) rims and of course NOS i think that is it
  20. which one do you have the docking motorola that you can take out or the in car fixed one? for the docking one ( motoroal flip) to remove it unscrew the 4 screws on the cradle that you can seethen unclip the harness then 2 more screws that hold the wireing down oretty much the same for the incar one also just keep removing upward facing srews till allcomes out
  21. i have the same one you actually sound like the problem is dirt or corrosion inside the volume switch open it up and clean with a q tip with rubbing alcahol and it should be fine after while you at it change the bulbs i the deck as well before they go also if it doesn't work out after than just buy a new deck and get it installed much cheaper than replacing with another stock unit
  22. i don't know of anythat aren't very busy or loud looking nowadays especially one that is going to fit that hole there is a kit for about $25 that will let you put in any 1 din deck you want but i guess the only ones that are modest looking and follow the lines are the aftermarket nakamichi decks or mc intosh both sound better than any other deck (except about 20 others)and look very plain but are very high end
  23. oh well if you know the clear coat is gone for sure, then the only proper thing to do is paint it an easy and chaep way also but may not look perfect is to high speed buff it it will remove the peeling clear and give it a more uniform look until you are ready to paint just don't expect great results just something you won't be able to see form 10 feet away oh yah the clay bar will do nothing for this problem it will only pick and pull dirt and debris from the paint
