After installation of the K&N Drop filter i felt my car being more responsive and peppy with a bit more horsepower gains. I give a thumbs up for K&N :)

i had the same problem, it would go up but not down. look at my forum i posted.. search for it. it should help u, it worked for me..

Where can i purchase custom taillights for my 1993 es300? I have searched everywhere and have found nothing. Im looking around for a red/clear set or something sleek. Also im trying to find dark housing headlamps... Thanks for the help! :D

i agree, i don't care much for american cars... but unless your buying a lexus from a person like me, buy the lincoln. B)

were they making some noise ?

yes, i cleaned it all out though. its prrrrrrrfect now. i swear to god i am never going to sell my car after putting this much work into it. i changed the front and rear valve cover gaskets and put in new platinum +4 sparks. i also cleaned out my throttle body.

I bet this topic was covered, but has anyone have a rotten egg smell coming from the exhust?? I think its coming from exhust. Also is it a good idea to let the engine run for a few minutes after a cold start. I notice the rpm is about 2000-2500 when i start the car. After a few minutes the rpm gets lower.

i have a foul smell too, but its my rear gasket im in the process of replacing.

Took me six hours to remove my fuel injector properly to get to the rear valve cover gasket and spart plugs to change them out. In this process i also cleaned out the air filter box and throttle body. Today I will spend the day putting it all back together, plugging back in sensors and bolting everything back on. I think I saved hundreds of dollars doing this myself.. Oh, I'll get some pictures later if I remember..

next time, heed the "wet paint" signs.

:D    :P

there were none, it was at night and there were spills of paint on the road....

LOVE my '93 es300, great price and value for the car too. make sure you know the history of the car if you can to see who owned it, how it was driven, and anything done on the car. fortunately mine was owned by an old guy who babied it and had EVERYTHING done with all paperwork. auhh lexus lovers..

oh yeah, its the es300 is a PERFECT size, not to big, not too small. OH, and welcome to the club man!!

Took me about 45 mins of hands and knees scrubbing. Splatters from paint on the road came up right underneith the door on the sideskirt. What worked best was using adhesive & wax remover and a scratchless scrubber. Hope this can help anyone with the same problem as me. Those road workers need to be more carefull with their road paint!!

I was wondering what type of transmission fluid the 1993 ES300 takes and what grade it is. Thanks.. :)

After new OE struts, strut mounts, and spring insulators (all installed by an independent Lexus specialist), the classic "bad strut mount" noise remained - although not as loud.

I turned to the dealer to solve the problem.  They lubed the "bump stops" , and the noise is completely gone!!!

The fix was no charge since the dealer had originally diagnosed the noise as bad strut mounts.  Kudo's to Lexus of Portland

NICE!! I live in portland too man!! Represent Ptown

BEAUTIFUL! Wish I had the money to add Hid to my car <_< but props on yours! :D

referring to the bra i got it at autoanything.com for $89.99 with free shipping. It protects the front end very well during the winter and its made by Colgan Custom.

Thank you everyone for your positive comments! It really makes me feel good and more appreciative for owning a lexus. to you all! And may LexusOwnersClub live on forever.

Nice! Not into the bra but thats personal preference.

I like where you mounted our sat. antenna, hows the reception? I have the antenna for my Sirirus mounted on the rear parcel shelf but I think I'm going to buy a smaller antenna and mount it either right where you have it mounted or above the rear window in the same way.

it gets PERFECT reception, i like it better than in the rear. i had sirius on my other car and had the antenna mounted on the back but i think it works better in the front, i get a tad bit better reception for some odd reason.

Here are pictures of my ES300 after i gave it a bath. :D

good to know thanks, i figured because toyota/lex is known for life. Skperformance, have you rebuilt yet?

cool thanks, but the previous owners even replaced the radiator! they were amazing for taking such good care of it man! only thing i wish it had was the leather and sunroof, other than that it is in crazy good shape, they must have garaged it too.

My 93 es300 had all records from when it was purchased. It was serviced right on time and all papers to prove it. Regular oil changes as well. It runs perfect with 155,000 miles but when should i worry about a rebuild so i can start saving up?

Are your wooden panels fading or have water spots in them? All you need is some bug and tar remover and rub rub rub away until it shines. It worked wonders for me. To give it an even nicer touch you can use a plastic car wax to give it an even more amazing glimmer. I am still researching some detailing and easy fix tips so you'll see me post often. :)

I figured this out for myself. All i had to do was remove the window switch from the door panel, remove the switch cover on top, and underneith there is a square white box with a hole in the center for moving the window down. Spray WD40 down the small hole and put the switch cover back on top. Then plug it back into the car and move the switch up and down a couple times and it will begin to work like new! This saved me a fortune instead of buying all new switches... Let me know how it works for you because it worked for all of mine!

what the hell are u talking about? that wasnt me that said that they sent it. in fact i STILL have not recieved my item which proves to me that they have possibly the worst service around.

yes they do

im not expecting a miracle, i just would like to be notified the day it is shipped out so i can expect when to get it.
