Thumbs up New guy

Hello Folks,

I just wanted to throw my name out there, Ismael. My screen name is 1994steeda, yes its Mustang related, and yes i owned several Mustang and im a Ford guy. But i got a thing for Lexus....

Always loved the 2nd Gen GS models, and finally got around to buying a silver on blk, after giving up on months of searching for a "Satphire Blue" GS300! And it has been a love an hate relationship...

-When i bought it, the batteries were dead in the keyless remotes, put new batteries and found out two of the door acutuators were out, not cheap, but i guess common?

--Radio LED went out after a week of purchase... : ( also common?

--Then i kept hearing a metal grinding sound, which led me to this website. I saw many post on what it could be, so i change my alternator, tensioner pulley( actually the whole assy. becasue i broke the stock one), drive belt, water pump, and still had that grinding sound....LONG and EXPENSIVE story short it was the god damn exhaust...


Anyhow where can i find this......

NOW CAN SOMEONE LEAD ME TO A POST THAT HAS DIFFERENT GS ON WHEELS? ITS TIME FOR ME TO LOWER IT AND PUT SOME NICE WHEELS
