Default Need help

all I need is someone to take a picture of their idle speed control sensor up close so I can see the position of the wires going into the harness. I ordered one and all of my wires are black and can't figure out the order going into the sensor to rewire it. Please please please someone help me

Aloha!

Originally from Texas, just recently moved to Oahu! I've owned a few SC models and always wanted a GS. Finally found one here that is Cherry and jumped on it!

Can't wait to update with pictures and plans for the car.

Thanks,

Andrew

Picked up my first Lexus for $500. It has some issues but it runs and drives. I'm going to put some money into this and see what she can do.

I just recently acquired a 1993 Lexus GS300, which is now NA-T, and because of the massive amount of information that is dumped on this amazing forum, I figured I'd join you guys and hop in on the fun! I'm originally a Honda/Acura guy (Don't worry, I've dedicated over a decade of my life in em', so I'm not one of "those" kids), and still working on my summer build as we speak, but that can be discussed at the later date; I decided to change it up a bit and try something different for a change, because not are changes are bad, right? So I decided to jump aboard and voila! Here I am!

It looks bad right now but I will try and get it to a more eye pleasing place. I would like to do the same thing I want to do to my LS to this, so I will see what the future holds. But tomorrow is pick and pull day so hopefully I can get most of what I need cheap.

1. black
2. tan but i want darker
3. it has a spoiler
4. Nakamich
5. none
6. also have a leaky Ls400


NICE !!!!

my gs300 needs alot of work too...

here what though...
id love if u could verify something for me.....

the steering dampers on both cars....... i was wondering if u wouldnt mind going under each car and to see if they fit each other.....

i desperately need a steering damper for my ride n not sure what other damper will fit

Default 93` lexus from sunny san diego

Just about a year ago I bought my first car ever, a 93 Lexus gs300 with near 200,000 miles on it and I hardly knew anything about Lexus or many Toyota brand vehicles. I mean for the majority of my life my parents owned this 94 Toyota corolla, a slow but reliable car that got the job done. After I got my Lexus I had no idea the stigma behind this brand, I mean the reactions I got from my family friends when I said I drove a lexus was all too surprising, after I explored the features in my car it is clear that it was way ahead of it's time. My girlfriend's dad drives a new 2015 Nissan Versa and it has half of the features this car. My vehicle has some problems many of them either cosmetic and a very tiny leak, however this car is very reliable and it has supported me so much through my school year and I can see now why Lexus is so popular.

I have a '96 GS300 too, but it's a parts car. Just bought it to give my buddy the engine. He wanted the block/crank so I bought the whole car with a blown transmission.
