    If you frequent Toyotanation then you know who I am. if you don't allow me to introduce myself.

    My 98 Corolla w/ 195K miles on the clock now

    H&R Sport Springs (about 1.5 inch drop)
    KYB shocks on all 4's
    Sport Edition D3 wheels with kumho tires (195/65/14)
    Debadge

    Mod list:
    Weapon-R Intake W/ new cone filter
    Custom Catback exhaust
    Ultra Racing Front Strut Bar
    Ultra Racing 19mm rear sway bar (not installed due to circumstances)

    Trans grenaded in the lexi in late august and been struggling with it ever since. i managed to find a new one and got it in on labor day weekend but my speedo hasnt been working thus i havent driven the car anywhere except in my neighborhood. I think i broke/pinched a wire somewhere cause the speedo tries to read but cant hold on the current speed.

    If you can get the Lex fixed, drop it like it's hot!!!

    Welcome :)

    And honestly, there's more action around here than the 8th gen section on TN.

    thats probably the first thing i'll do. and i know the 8th gen section is fairly dull. i'm hardly there as it is. i'm a camry guy.
    i've got the standard issue beige rolla and a purple on purple Lex. I wouldnt change much. i do wish i had the 01 front end on the rolla but i got no time for it.
    triple checked.

    To be honest I think the 98-00 front end looks just as good with a front lip and a decent fog light mod.

    My friend has a similar problem with his civic. Did you check for any corrosion?
    And nice Lexus, keep it oem but slam it with a lip.

    dont see any but have had some corroded wires to my PPS that i've had to fix. and slaming anything is out of the question. this needs to be a daily and roads in philly are terrible. they dont mix. my corolla is lowered perfectly for my needs. would like that for the ES.

    That ES is very clean considering it's approaching 20 years old.

    and its been a rust belt car all its life lol. sadly though its been partly repainted due to a front end collision with the previous owner and the roof got painted as well because it was fading pretty bad. i did the mirrors this year cause they were pretty much white instead of purple. the rest is original and you can tell in person.
