  1. Get a quote from Lexus if Parramata . years ago when I had my IS250 my local Sydney city beat other mechanics plus gave a me a loan car. i was a sucker for the Lexus embossed stamp in the book. also this will update ownership details and they can check all recalls and latest firmware versions
  2. Hey guys 4 years abscebt after selling is250. put a deposit down on RX200t EP3. great car mainly for wife and kids that I will drive with family on weekends. the engine was surprisingly quick. Quicker than figures suggest . Any one know if they are tuned differently for NX vs RX. Its almost like they under quoted to sell RX350 . Dealer and I could not split the power opnion between 350 and 200 and since I done need awd we choose 200t. cheers Vadim
  3. PS MOST DBA are made in Australia Almost all RDA are made in China Consider your decision. DBA also cool better and have Kanga pow ventilation
  4. Toyota Kluger rotors, I remeber being the same. So you can get them through a dealership. Yes in theory the BIAS is affected. The brake place next to my work has a bias machine you drive on and brake and it shows how much of the braking is done where, As for G-Clamp dont knock, At least 100 sets changed with it ang going strong. When did my pprenteship I didnt even know there was a special tool, If you have any issues just realease the blled valve a 1/4 turn and press as you are doing it will take away the extra a pressure. PS dont open so much as you are getting bubble is the caliper make sure you are applying force with G-clap. Over and out/
  5. At the begining of E10 Ethanol fuels the Government spread all this bull*BLEEP* about how bad the ETHANOl is for your engine, They went as far as investigating Petrol station. What a *BLEEP*ing crosh of *BLEEP*. I love the Propaganda in Australia. You know why? THey didnt tax it... Dont worry it got fixed. Gets taxed all good now. AND guess what the government verdict is now. YEAH sustainable and great go for it. In my Ford I consistantly and sytamatically get more Miles on E10 fuels. In my lexus it made almost no differnce (.05%) At 16cents more for premium it makes no sence. Really it does not you have to get 12%+ better fuel economy. Which you will not. Im not sure how advance Is250 timing is and if it is set for 95 or 98 RON. But most cars are tuned for 91. In the states and alot of Europe 98 RON is not even av. 98 ROD requires more advanced timing... Like i sad most cars ....:( waist of time, The new Ford FG range will actually advance timing among other things and increase power and fuel eco on higher Octane fuels... IS250 again correct me with facts I dont think it does..... Opinion on this mater. Sorry can not be bothered looking. My is250 is the weekenf car covers about 150km per week in so i dont care about the money and use 98..... If I had it as a daily it would be a differnt story.... PS differnt service station servie diffent blends of E10...... E10 means up to a maximum of 10% ethanol, Most petrol stations are no where near it most 2-3% ethanol.... Our fuel is supplied my many big guys as well alot of smaller providers that buy rubbish from Malasia... or so i hear...
  6. In July 2009 I bought a Nov 2008 MY09 7800kms for $55,000 drive away from $63k marked EMV Roof ..... That was the cheapest by far from any where and as new.
  7. PLugs will not cause descibed issue. I think it is your TPS.... or such, I would get the techs to bench test most of the sensors in the car Maf ,O2,TPS and give the connections a clean while theya re there.. Gear box should not casue revs to drop at isdle as it should already be in 1st at stop/ Good Luck buddy
  8. Bartek I have a Novemeber 08 MY09 model does this mean they all came with V 14, Are the main difference between 14>15 just later maps/camera locations ? or is just maps
  9. can u get bigger pics and some side shots for it, thanks? also wondering any issue with scratching the front bar in any shopping centre or speed bump after u had tein stec? I find the IS250 already sit bloody low. I can't get in and out of my drive...
  10. 1. ilv1004s- Danny 2. LEX51S - Chris (depending on date) 3. ProjectIS - D (Need you ask!) 4. cevu - J 5. Jomster - Jom 6. Illusivedreams- Vadim
  11. If no insurance than te car is generally not a stat write off can be fixed and sold to som one unfortunet. Repair cost providing chassis is not *BLEEP*ed could cost $20,000+
  12. And? A 5-6 year old IS250 is not worth all that much.... $20-30k You still get a stamp just does not have Lexus on it.. And trust me most Baisic lube services are done by apprenteces...Believe me or not I dont mind but thats the reality of life..
