ilv1004s

yeah your more than welcome to join in on the meet with any car

sad to see you go mate will you come to the meet before your car gets sold?

yes indeed it is the my is has a greddy and i love it but my gt sounds like a honda not a boxer cuz of the equal length headers nice lib btw!

Exactly :) Nup, will be in LA then. Looking at trying to get some F-Sport parts shipped to my hotel, but am a bit wary of bringing back swaybars/chassis brace etc as checked luggage :-/ yeah iv done that before.. the demensions arent to worry it's the weight. but mate if u have the chance do it. saves a bucket load of money best way is chassis brace +sway bar + intake and exhaust in 1 box as you can fit em all in there on the biggest box it's worth it if u pay abit more for over weight luggage as shipping on those parts will probably cost you around 2K lol

my pick of the colour would be blue + black but all my cars are black black :D if i had the choice ill go blue

hey dude nice move i own a 05 Liberty gt as well those 3.0R sound awsome with an exhaust on!! anyhow the nav screen is liveable problem it's no biggie just a default setting wat state you located in? we got a quaterly meet coming up soon if your in sydney

well each to their opinions right and thats wat makes forums more exciting :D my knowledge is actually via research from clublexus and iv came across this information when i was researching up on power steering failure due to aftermarket HID lights.. anyhow u coming to the meet Johnny?

rofl it's here now 5ZIGEN gonna do it at home?

lucky lucky!!

Yeah I'm aware of all that. My point was against the vague blanket statement implying that simply because a certain vehicle was destined for the USDM, its parts are made there, and that "LHD vs RHD shell might be the same but pedals steering and brakes and electrical and hardward are manufactured in the US or canada". We'll just leave it at that I respectfully disagree. :) For what it's worth, as a whole vehicle (not taking into account globally sourced parts) while on the phone to a buddy of mine in Boston who has an ISF, and previously an IS250, he noted that the cars were produced in Japan according to the stickers with their VIN info. ok maybe my statement about the meaning of lexus has led to your misunderstanding (had nothing to do with it) point is. Japan where the Is250 is made is RHD most parts made for the IS250 (can come from everywhere) china,japan,korea,US,malaysia etc so you have a car that is made in japan that consist of different parts from different part of the world. all mass production car companies outsource their parts it makes sense in a business term. toyota has plants in north america obviously making LHD cars.(LHD steering rack pedals etc) obviously brining in existing components from their north american plants are much cheaper than setting up a new LHD components plant in a country that only produces RHD. A car made in japan doesnt always consist of parts made in japan. also have you noticed that most of the cars that have that accelerator pedal recalls are LHD cars? mainly in the US? (which i think lexus was blamed to cover up their asses)

how about leave them as they are get new wheels dont ruin the wheels

i still wouldn't pay that amount even if i needed new lights for what ever reason it was. for those that know me, if i won't do them, no one will! lol..... 100% on ya with that but if it came with a new car that i bought i woudlnt complain as of my first point too much $$$ for wat it is

parts are sourced from globaly from the toyota parts network so it pretty much doesnt cost much to move parts around in your own network remember toyota is a big big company they wont be ordering parts in the 100's it'll be 100's each time on a regular basis also making a particular part in japan will be much more expensive than a mass production plant in the US that LHD that can be used on many cars toyota/scion/lexus etc IS250s are probably made in japan im not 100% but i know lexus has a candadian plant that makes the RX range and a few others also remember lexus is Luxury Export to US it's a car maker that was aim at the US market lexus didnt sell in japan it was sold as toyota untill the late 90's

most likely. most of our stuff are from japan

I'm 99% sure all IS250s are made in Japan. I don't imagine a lot (if any) of the parts besides dealer add-ons being made in the US on a car coming out of Japan - Doesn't make sense to me? big diff is LHD vs RHD shell might be the same but pedals steering and brakes and electrical and hardward are manufactured in the US or canada

nah this aint it it had work wheels on it and it had dish thats got no dish lol noob

i had that problem upping the tire pressure will help alot

wow see thast the kind of service that u dont get from BMW or Merc

i had the kumho ku31's 210 a piece better than the dunlops dunlops failed after 5K kms since new

i highly doube we will have recalls on the is250 most of the problems are coming from the US cuz they manufacture alot of the parts from the US our cars are JDM spec cars (made in japan) obviously the built quality is different too just cuz they have the same standard of quality doesnt mean they are equally good japanese plants have very strick QA

black IS250 yesterday some kind of mesh wheels with good dish on it also that white toms IS250 again

TBH they dont look bad. better than the HSV effort but man close to 3K after shipping i think i have better things to spend money on rather than lights different story if i smash my lights but yeah

i run kumho V12 EVO 220 a pop but 225/30/20 i find the dunlops good for the first 5000kms or so then they just go *BLEEP*

2is meet?

rofl 2K for OEM DRL's and headlights? LOL so $$$$
