What a great club meet. Best I've been to as far as numbers go and new faces. Over 40 people I believe.

Plenty of good things to write about so I'll post more later.

Thanks everyone that attended, from as far as Brisbane!!!

Thank you for all involved for a great afternoon!

My Coverage!

So this was my first ever Lexus meet (Apart from the lexusownersclub meets years ago), and I have to say its not like anything I went to before. I drove in with the GS to find hardparkers but I didnt see any. Just a sea of stock looking Lexi (?) around.
Sydney City Lexus was more than happy to Host the event, which included Food and Drinks too (Pizza, Sushi, Drinks etc), access to their showroom which included the mighty LFA and even a guest from Lexus (Product Specialist who works on what come in, and was heavily involved with the LFA).
Was a great afternoon, especially finally being able to sit the LFA and hear it at full song. Also present was Danny's ISF WTAC Car (1:38at WTAC).
On with the pictures!
In the Carpark

OK...Inside the showroom. Lexus have really re-designed their cars, and the quality is so good.


Ill start with the First thing that greeted me as I walked in...an SV6 Aurion Sportivo...I mean the New Lexus LS460!! I HONESTLY thought it was an Aurion, especially with those wheels...

The Interior is simple but elegant

11250759275_9e6f664c17_c.jpg

Rear seats is lounge like as expected

11250716184_4d381aaf0e_c.jpg

Quality Stitching

11250769013_33075e987c_c.jpg

Lexus have seem to have moved on from Wood, Carbon, Granite like finishes, to more snake skin!!

11250772073_356e58b79c_c.jpg

The rear lights mimick the "L" badge

11250709854_178802053f_c.jpg

The DRL's are one piece, so no breaks in the light.

11250766543_20e0a5aa08_c.jpg

It is a beautiful car, BUT It just doesn't look as prestige as it should from the outside.

Next up is the all new IS350 F-Sport. You know, I wasnt a fan of this car, but after seeing it in real life, in this awesome colour, I love it! One thing I really hate is the light washers up front (I didnt grab a pic) but all of them had it.

11250759384_61980026c1_c.jpg

Inside is a VERY nice place to be in, and that LFA style Dash!

11250760083_d1ea5239ea_c.jpg

FINALLY!! Lexus have run out of the 80/90's Digital clock parts bin and gone more classy analogue!! Whooo

11250692594_4f6f6e77cc_c.jpg

The snake is back!

11250663315_9da6b0d600_c.jpg

The GS is nice too, I didnt check it out too much, but If only it was V8 (Kevlin got me...I wouldnt go for a 250 :P)

11250813973_fb53b0fbd0_c.jpg

Peanut Butter Leather with Black leather dash, perfect

11250753703_e16719fbe3_c.jpg

The NEW ES350 was there, and to be honest, was VERY nice! This was an awesome feature! After having a newborn, last week I went searching for those shades for the GS, and the ones I got are too big. This is perfect!

Time attack IS-F so much louder than the LFA in real life.

Way louder. Doesn't sound that much louder in that clip though.

The ISF was actually painful on the ears it is that loud.

      LS460 Folding Mirror Doesn't Stop.

      Hi. The driver's mirror on my RHD LS460 folds in and out okay, but when folding in, it gets to the stop position but keeps trying to go further, so it continuously clicks. Is this repairable, or will the mirror have to be replaced? Has anybody fixed this problem? If so, how? Cheers.

      Carplay issues with iPhone IOS 18.1 making & receiving calls

      Just wondering if anyone else has recently encountered the following issue: I have two phones now running with IOS 18.1, an iPhone SE and iPhone 16 and they both are having the same problem, i.e. when making a phone call, the party I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. I first encountered the problem with my iPhone 16 and at first thought it was the cable connecting to the USB-C on the phone. I went out and purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter which circumvented the problem. However today I needed to connect the iPhone SE and it too got the same problem in that when making a phone call, the person I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. Checking sites in the USA it appears to be a common problem. UPDATE: The problem did not exist using IOS versions prior to IOS 18

      Driving Light

      Hi Peter, After taking onboard your suggestions and a few good nights sleep to mull over options the new driving lights are installed and working. No holes were drilled into vehicle but I did cut a small slot into back of the larger plastic fuse box cover/lid to source power from jump start terminal. (12v battery is in boot of NX 450h+) The wiring was a little fiddly but not having to take the dash apart was a huge bonus to installing the XBB kit. Was able to ‘reuse’ relay base from wiring harness supplied with Ultra Vision lights. Fitted a 20 amp inline fuse as lights draw 13.2 amps total. Smart button works a treat so can have high beam on without driving lights. So glad that I found this forum when I did, Neil
