No worries Q, thanks for the recommendation, i've put that seller in my favourites!!! Need to contact him about shipping because at the moment, thats the one that looks like a killer! Art, U got another container coming over anytime soon?? Got bit of an order for ya....HAHAHAHA!!! :D

Hey Q, Have you got HID's on yours?? I don't mind spending the cash as long as they are good..... Like Cevu said before, I tend to think that its almost pot luck if you get a good kit or not. I do like this kit. Do u know anyone that has used them!!

How cool is this small ballast!! No hassles finding a spot to mount them.Fully rubber injected too!!! Only catch.......... About $250US.......But they do look like a quality product!

That sounds like a pretty good idea!!! Maybe up around Palm beach!! Some nice scenic shots around there!! I do want my car dropped before the next shoot though!! ;) My ride felt 4x4'n next to Ilv'!! <_<

Thats Cevu' ride.........LED parkers!!! Looks cool hey! I don't think that the HID's were on for the first pic!! Actually, im pretty sure that his are 6000k's so the blue would be from the LEDS.

U gotta love Cevu' LED parkers!!! I think its one of those easy must do mods!!! Gotta do it!!! & Ilv, the pics come out heaps cool!!! Definately must say that our first official meet rocked!!!! Even with only the four of us!!!! :D

Have you got the intake yet Art??

Hey guys, Just wanted to say that it was awesome meeting up with some of the boys from the Forum last night!!! Ilv, Cevu, Raoul... It was cool checking out some of the mods in person and probably most of all, being able to put a face to the name!!! This is what community is all about!!! We do want to maintain a regular meet and hopefully we will schedule one shortly!! Can I get suggestions on how we can grow the enthusiasm for the meets as I can guarantee thats where most of the knowledge is shared and how we will grow this forum!!! ;) It was really cool hearing the difference in intakes aswell!! Dammmnnnn!!!

Has anyone confirmed yet mate?? Maybe just post ya name up if u going to attend so that we have some sort of idea of numbers!

Hi Franky, I've seen Ilv's and have done a fair bit of research myself.(ie.other installs). I would highly recommend that you do it your self aswell because as Ilv mentioned, it is quite "fiddleeeey" and I can't imagine that someone that you are paying would take their time and ensure that all wiring is routed and placed in the best possible location. Also, you need to designate a good location for the balast. Again, thats something I would rather work out myself. Anyway, thats my opinion. Hope it helps in your decision. And one more thing, don't by a cheap and nasty if your going to do it!!!

Hey Ilv, U want to designate a meeting place and time for those that can't make the formal....Come on guys, if you can't make the formal run, try to spare some time for a meet!

Thanks Q!!! Veerrrryy niice!!! ;)

Hey guys, I've just had some urgent / important work come through and there is a high probability that I won't be able to make the 6pm formal run for Ilv....... Is there anyone that can help out and fill my place just incase I can't make it on time??? Guys, ya help would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to leave Ilv' down 1 car!!! cheers,

That is pretty damn awesome!!! It reminded me of this old school rally footage. Some of ya might of heard about the hill climbs at Pike Peak.......Simply awesome......check the low res YouTube Vid.......I've got the higher res version, its a classic!! I'd be surprised if U guys haven't seen it before!!! ......Make sure u watch the whole clip and check out the cliff edge near the end!! Pikes Peak On another note, Watched the first 3 episodes of the UK Top gear the other day.....They heavily featured the IS-F in the shorts of what the season held!! Will keep y'all posted of when the episode is available!!! Now, back to the formal run and meet afterwards........ Where are we meeting Ilv?? Pm if U want!!

Hey guys, Any more of y'all able to make it?? Even afterwards if nothing else!!! It would be great to get a pic with more than just 2 IS's!!! ;) don't u mean 3? anywho, cmon' ppl. help the brother out! a whole fleet of is250's turning heads on the streets. how can u resist??? My bad, 3!!! ;)

haha...... and there it is again...... my fsport springs get a mention! :-) ilvs004, damn nice job! thanks for the writeup. will definitely come in handy at some stage! looks real good, but close ups would be great when u get a chance! just in time to show it off for the 25th :-) C'mon man, im cheer'n for ya!!! U be the only one here ride'n with the F-Sport springs!!! ;) If cash is an issue, why don't the 3 of us hook up and do the springs together!! Ilv is an expert now!!! We could probably do it the night of the formal!!! You down???

Is it an even finger gap front and back?? Do you think that you will have to roll the guards or you have definately put it through its paces with no scrub!?!?!?! Like I said man, if you can post a close up pic of the wheel arch's, atleast then we will all know what type of drop to expect from the Teins ST's. Then when Cevu gets the F-sports on, we can get a reference for them as well. QQQ, can you post a close up pick of the Eibach's drop!! Thanks y'all!!!

Awesome work with the guide and pics Ilv!! Lets see how many are inspired now!!! You know I am!!! .........Both inspired and damn jealous!! ;) How long did it take you?? How long you reakon it will take to do my ride lol???

Nice work Ilv!! Looks HOTTT!!! B) I wonder how much its going to settle..... How much gap is there at the moment between the guard and wheel?? I guess we will see on the 25th!

Yeh, you know im down for a good cause!!!!

Hi Fazz, Welcome mate!!! Look, imo, so much to choose from.....I would start with the basics! You need to get the prestige rolling on anything other then the 16's!! Your handling will improve immediately with just eliminating the excessive tyre roll. Springs would surely have to come next!! After that, you are pretty much on a level playing field with the other models! What are your priorities?? Are you more concerned with appearance or performance or both??? Again, great choice in buying the lexus!!! ;)

i've got a short ram fujita intake and did that myself. done in about 30 minutes but i have taken it out and put back in a few times for service and i can now do it in about 12 minutes. so not very hard, just a bit of a pain the first time as you look for all the bolts etc. it's just a matter of taking stock one out and f sport in. if u're in sydney i'm happy to help. Cool thanks I will give it a go when it arrives. Nice choice Art, like I said, I heard Ilv's and it sounded incredible!! Not overboard, just nice! U mind me asking how much it set U back?? Did you go the regular channels? Anyone interested in a group buy??
