blacklexus90

:chairshot: Hello to all,I am trying to figure out why you need the lower ball joint if you r upgrading to the 1995 and up 4 piston caliber on a 1990-1994 lexus.If I am right the caliper bolts to the spindle right?and the ball joint is all the way at the bottom of the spindle so where would the caliper hit at??I have read a few post on the upgrade but really dont understand y the ball joint play a part in the upgrade.Thanks to all on here.

Hello every1 Help me understand what is going on.I have a 1994 es 300 and I tried to check the codes so I hooked up the jumper to Te1 and E1 pit the car in neutral and cut the car to on.Nothing no blinking lights,can some 1 lead me in the right way to figure this out??Could I have a blown fuse?????

I need the hole dash to come out because the front of my dash near the vent is coming up do to the heat over time,do understand what i am trying to say??

:rolleyes: I have been trying to figure out, how to take out the front dash???any 1 have a thread that can help me

:) Hello to all,I was wondering if some 1 could lead me in the right way.I have a 1992 Ls 400, what years front wheel hubs will work for my car??1990-1995 or newer?or are they all the same up till 2000???

By not working do you mean not working at all? I've had two Lexus' an 05 es 330 and now an 05 Ls 430 and the mirrors would not go up or down. They would not go down when put in reverse either. In both cases I was still under warranty and they replaced free of charge. They would go in and out but not up or down. It seems to be somewhat common since the service tech didn't appear suprised. Well I have checked all fuses and still nothing could it b a bad switch??

okay some 1 please help me out here,I have a 1992 ls 400 but both power mirrors is not working.is it possible that there is a bad relay or blown fuse??or could it be the switch???help

Hello every 1.I still have my 1992 lexus ls 400 and runs great.I just purchased a 2003 LS 430 but I like the 400 better,anyway code 41 came up and I think that is the throttle position sensor.Is that a hard fix well it dont look hard.I know where it is located with 2 screws but from what I hear u have to make a few adjustment.Do any 1 on here no what to do or have ever did 1????Thanks to all

Check out the kenwood model that is a flush mount,mine look pretty close to perfect,also the factory radio is very boreing at least to me,got to go with the newer look.1 more point the problem with these Ls 400 the radio and the climate control screens fade alot on these cars,lexus really need to do better.I still think these cars are the best.My wife drives a 2006 430 benz and she likes my car better :D

Good looking Bro,But to honest I just looked at a 1997 LS400 I might buy tomorrow and throw my 20's on it.I hope this year is a better car not that my 1992 model is bad but I do want the newer look :D

Yes you r right,I hate typing nothing personal I think it is for woman.Any way I must have hit the cap key

Phyton...the lights look great!!! I know the store on Ebay where you bought your lights and I asked about the lights fitting a 1990 LS400 (which is what I have) and they said the lights only fit 93-94 models. I know you have a 92 and......it is obvious that they fit very nicely, however, did you have to do any modifications in order to make them fit? I want to get them but I wanna make sure they will fit my 1990. yes i had to make some mods......just adapt the 9004 stock sockets to fit the 9003 which the light assemblies fit...its very easy, the light assemblies come with bulbs already, get 2 9003 sockets and hook em up to the bulbs, then adapt what u have left, u will c what im talkin about, i had to grind a little to get it to work...no biggie tho SO LET ME GET THIS RIGHT,BASICALLY YOU DID A LITTLE WIRING CHANGE RIGHT.I DID THAT ON MY OLD CAR A 1992 VOLVO 850 WELL I CHANGE THE FRONT LIGHT FROM THE 1992 LOOK TO THE 1997 DOUBLE HEADLIGHT LIGHTS, JUST HAD TO CHANGE THE PLUGS.SO AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK??

NOTE I WOULD NEVER GO WITH A SINGLE DIN I AGREE IT LOOKS CHEAP IN THESE CARS,THAT IS Y I SAID GO WITH A DOUBLE DIN HEAD LIKE I DID IT LOOKS FACTORY AND IT FILLS UP THE HOLE PERFECT.I BOUGHT THE KENWOOD DOUBLE DIN WITH NAVI,LOOKS LIKE IT WAS BOUGHT THAT WAY.

I HAVE BEEN READING ON A FEW FORUMS ABOUT THE 1990-1992 HEAD LIGHTS AND THE 1993-1994 HEADLIGHTS.THEY LOOK THE SAME TO me,SO WHAT IS THE DIFF?CAN SOME 1 HELP ME ON THIS MATTER.I WANT TO BUY THE HID LIGHTS FOR MY 1992 MODEL(LS 400)BUT THE WEB SITE SAY THEY R FOR 1993-1994 ONLY. DO THEY PLUG UP THE SAME WAY?????

I WOULD REPLACE THE FACTORY RADIO,AFTER WHILE THEY WORK LIKE *BLEEP*,IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT GET A DOUBLE DIN THEY LOOK GREAT I JUST PUT 1 IN MY 1992 LS 400 WITH A 4 CHANNEL KICKER AMP.I RAN THE INSIDE SPEAKER TIED THEM IN THE FRONT CHANNEL AND BRIDGE THE SUB 12 INCH IN THE OTHER CHANNEL.THE SOUND IS GREAT.BUT IF YOU R RUNNING 2 SUBS I WOULD A MONO AMP TO PUSH THE SUB AND A 2 CHANNEL AMP TO PUSH THE INSIDE SPEAKES BECAUSE THEY R SMALL ANY WAY.NOW BASED ON HOW POWERFUL YOUR MONO AMP IS WILL DETERMINE WHETHER U WANT A COMPACITOR THEY WILL HELP U FROM TAKING TO MUC :D H POWER FROM YOUR BATTERY WHEN THE BASE DROP.

I AGREE THAT SITE HAS ALOT OF USEFUL TIPS FOR ALL ,WISH U ALL THE LUCK

You do realize that the appearance of the oil means nothing, right? The only way to know for certain how your oil is wearing is to get a used oil analysis. If you are a maintenance nut, check out Blackstone Labs. If you are changing your oil more frequently than recommended in your owner's manual, you are most likely just wasting oil. Also, the only thing I am aware of where synthetic oil is superior to dino oil is that it will last longer. I don't think there is any magic in the bottle that will make your car last longer. Just my $0.02 Well to all on here,I have used mobile 1 since I had a 1993 volvo 850 when I bought the car it had 194K so I switch to mobile 1 well I got another 60K out of it, and sold in perfect running condition.Any way I bought a 1992 LS 400 with 254K on it once again changed to mobile 1 and the car is perfect and very quiet.To some it up, the car has 300K on it and not 1 leak or rattle.I personally approve a full synthetic motor oil in in high mileage cars as well.It will help your engine.

Sorry when I said they, I meant they upgraded they lexus model in 1993-1994 braking system.I brought they 1993- 1994 calipers dual piston but reading further in that upgrade for that year they also upgraded the rotors bigger rotors.What i am saying is will the 1993-1994 rotors fit my year 1992 as well?? yes, you can use the 93-94 rotors to complete your minor brake upgrade. the difference, however, will be minimal. most in search of improved braking performance upgrade to the 95-00 LS400 calipers/rotors since they are HUGE and 4piston lightweight aluminum calipers. to do that swap you need 95+ caliper, pads, rotors, and lower ball joints, as well as wheels that wil fit over the larger calipers. COOL THANKS A LOT FOR THE INFO, I AM RUNNING ON MY CAR NOW 20 WHEELS SO THAT SHOULD BE FINE
