I have the OEM body kit, Lexus F1 wheels, HKS exhaust, K & N air filter and thinking about the F-Sport intake. At this stage not interested in lowering the car, might go for some suspension enhancements to increase the cornering and stability later on if I keep the car.

I thnk that might be a problem with the iphone rather than the car. It hapens to me infrequently in the car but it also happens to my friend a lot more who also has an iphone but a different car.

Are you changing em again? Are you sticking with 18's ? What are you thinking of getting or have you already got a new set? They are for a friend. I have them on my car already and he likes them and wants a set. Can you send me you number and we can arrange something. I am located nearby and would pick them up asap.

Whereabouts are the you? If you're in or around Sydney I might be interested...

Rocket Industries in Huntingwood, should set you back around $100 or so.

Trust me if you have the rattle you won't need to have the door open. Mine does it infrquently but last time it did it, I had a Lexus Service Manager in the car, so mine is getting fixed tomorrow.

I have a question, the shipping is $900 or so dollars and how long does it take to get from the US to Australia?

Yeah there are no clips on the passenger side but the mat seems to fit quite well in the footspace so it doesn't move around. I don't think there is a rear mat that comes with the hump mat, I had one on my IS200 as well. Niick, How dirty to the light mats get? I would like the lighter interior in my new car but I am wondering how hard it is to keep it clean?

I have those tyres on mine and they are great. I know some of the Sports IS250's come with Yokohama tyres you might want to have a look at those as well, unfortunately with the staggered fitting wheels you are always limited in choice. I had the same problem when I changed the wheels on my car.

Yeah but which 19's? there really isn't a lot out there with the staggered fitting rear vs front wheels that the IS250 comes with. I suppose if you go to somewhere like Tempe Tyres or the like you might pick up a set but I have seen way too many IS250's lately with ugly wheels. The only other wheels I liked apart from the ones U purchased were BBS wheels but they only came in 18's and where over $1K more and not that much nicer to warrant spending over $5K on wheels.

I think the HID's are a factory install only as the washers must also be installed in your cars bumper so you will have to pay more than just the globes and the ballasts. Also the HID lights on the IS250 are auto adaptive so I have a feeling they might not be cheap at all. My suggestion would be to get the next model up if you can. In regards to the wheels, having gone through the experience of changing wheels, try and do the deal when you first buy the car otherwise you will get peanuts if you try and trade them in later. I had the 17in wheels from the sports luxury and I was offered $400 all up when trading them in for 18in wheels.

Dealer says a November delivery so keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Lexy I have had 2 IS200's Sports Luxury both black but wouldn't get another black, too high maintenance for me. At the moment a silver IS250 Sports Luxury and hoping to take delivery of a blue IS-F in November.

You should have got a little tin when you purchased your car.

If you look at the Redbook website when they give a valuation price, at the bottom of the webpage you actually get the following: "Please Note: Prices quoted include standard equipment. However, allowance should be made for any added optional equipment. Click on "specifications" for details of standard and optional equipment" So if you were to add Sat/Nav, moonroof etc. it would still add value to the car.

For the first 1000kms, you are supposed to take it easy with the engine and let it run in a little bit i.e. not rev the engine over 3500 rpm too much etc. Once you hit the 1000Km mark your dealer will give the car a check-up to make sure everything is running as it should be.

You can't trust your dealer? What have they done? I think Peter and the boys at Parramatta are great. I am onto my third Lexus from Parramatta Lexus with a deposit for my fourth and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Your first 15K service is complementary so you probably wouldn"t take it anywhere else. After that it's about $600 for the 30K service, I personally wouldn't take my car to anyone so I only take my car to a Lexus dealer.

You get the headlight washers if you have the Xenon lights.

It's for activating the cruise control.

Looks good, and you also have some sunshine up there. I've had my HKS exhaust on the car for about 1 month now and whenever I wash it to take some pics it rains.

I have serviced my cars at the same Lexus dealer for about 4 years now and I have never had a problem Given the amount of money you spend on a car I woulnd't trust my car to anyone else to be honest.

Why don't you give these guys a call. http://www.heasmans.com.au/index.html I've heard they do good work.

I think most of them have some rattle or other, mine has some intermittent rattles every now and then. When you see the state of Sydney's road though you will wonder how you don't en up with more rattles.

Yeah it didn't look like they had done anything but they're probably waiting for parts since they're getting replaced.
