Woogie

Name: Bernard

ES year: 1998

Mileage: 108, 083

Status: Everything is fine on the ES. I just need to slap the rotors on the brake lathe and give it a go. i also need to replace the upper strut mounts. other than that, everything is not too bad at this point.

Future plans: I'd like to do a bit of upgrading on the suspension by installing an OEM solara strut tower brace and perhaps some sways for the rear also. I also plan to replace the factory head unit becuase the LCD is broken.

Vincent, this is a common problem on most '97-'01 ES. Mine used to have it on the driver side, but I took care of it by purchasing and replacing the B door pillar piece for $60. It is possible to re-clear the existing piece, but depending on your choice of body shop, the expense to do the job will be more than the cost of the item itself. Also, the OEM part is already clearcoated, so it only needs to be simply installed.

That's excellent mileage on your year ES. Hope to see you keep logging on more miles, and Mobil 1 is a great choice for oil

That's a very rare color on the '00-'01 model. Care to show any pics of your ES?
