Where'd you get the wrapping for your steering wheel? or custom made by you? lol

 

No not even close

40 MPH is 2000 RPM in 4th
50 MPH is below 2000 in 5th (bottom)
65 MPH should be about 2500

 

I still have the ES, nearing 250k miles......Still get 25 MPG!

 

25mpg!!!! i only get 16!mpg!!

 

search ebay for "wheelskins"

excellent feel. highly recommended!

 

werd i get ****ty gas mileage too

 

i am also apart of the 92 ES 300 5 speed family . there are not to many of us out here . in fact any time i go to any auto shop they fall two steps back when they see it .

 

Ya same here. Howd you get the car? Also can you do me a favor and tell me your production date? Mine is 7/92 No. 947
Just curious

 

well it's a funny story . i went to visit someone , and rite next door was the es 300 parked with no plates on it . the owner came outside and was getting into his new 07 maxima . i asked him what he was going to do with it . he said he wasn't trying to make any money on it . because the auto shop said it had a leak in the engine , and the shop said it wasn't worth fixing . i offered him 1,100 , and had it towed to the shop . spent about $ 250 in parts to fix the problem . im still feeling the car out . i just had it for a month , but it runs great .

as far as the prodution date im not to sure what it is , or where to find out about that .

 

Its on the label on the drivers door. It will say the month and year it was built.

 

oh ok i found it . 12/91 # 029

 

Wow thats an early one. Mines practally a 93. Any ways what part in the engine did you fix? Im asking because if its a head gasket, I got my ES 300 a few years ago. It had 58,000 miles on it. I went to do the timing belt at around 80K or so. It now has 105K. When I took the cover off the t-belt and water pump looked brand new, so i decided to leave it alone. Now i heard of the recall on the 3vz engine regarding head gaskets and ive been wondering if my engine has been apart before. I mean it runs mint and if something breaks ill fix it but it runs great.

 

yes it was by the head . i think im going to change my timing belts and water pump . because i don't know it the last owner did it or not , and i have 130k right now .

im also thinking about puting a navigation system in the car . i can't deal with the radio system in this car . it's time for some upgrades

 

yea i have a 92 5spd, bought it from the original owner with 78k original on it, and all the paperwork for servicing and repair from Lexus. I love this car and everybody who sees its a stick almost craps themselves. A very fun car to drive and still some luxury.

 

If your getting 16mpg, there is something wrong....
