ProjectIS

Hello my fellow members!!! Can I quickly jump in here before we get too carried away with the direction that this is heading!! Lets remember that this forum is about knowledge shareing, building friendships with people that have a common interest and passion!! Our Lexus!! Jokes and toying around are great because it increases involvement and builds on our friendships!! Lets PPLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE try to have fun but by the same token remember why we are all here!!! We want all to remain active and look forward to logging onto this forum!! I know that I do, hope that im not alone!! I have definately picked up alot of knowledge about my ride since joining this forum!! Lets keep the quality posts coming through!!! ProjectIS ;) Ps. No ones going any where!!!

in agreeance with projectis. i've just got headrests with lcd monitors for entertainment. the dtv option seemed more trouble than it was worth! but if you are keen to do it you can find the info on one of the us forums. it's been talked about over there and discussed in some detail! http://www.xtenza.eu/video.html I use this to install a DVB-T tuner in my RX400h (produced 11.2006 w/ mark levinson audio and DVD changer). Tv tuner and internal dvdch can be watchen on nav display while driving. Hi Vesko, Thanks for the post! Did you say that you installed this with the ML unit?? Must admit, haven't really looked into this option because I don't really like plugging in foreign device mods into existing equipment unless I know exactly what it is doing to acheive the result. Hence why I prefer the manual hardwire mod. Never the less, this may be a good option for the members that want a quick and easy route to acheive the desired result. Back to my original question about you installing this on an ML sys, the backplane pictured looks completely different to our ML's. Are the pin outs the same??

Well, gotta admit, just reading that little snippet and reminding myself about the 300odd kw out of that little power house in that small a#$ body definately has well and truely re-ignited my interest. If its RRP is $129k, wonder how much movement they will have to play with!!! 10k?? I reakon more!! LDC, sorry brother, you wouldn't want a 6speed manual if you got an 8speed that up shifts so damn quick!!! Don't think I could match it!! (.1sec) Twoohhh!!! ;) Korvan, got some spare cash for me mate!!! :D

Not happy!!! Damn I hate my parking spot in town!! It was only a matter of time and unfortunately it happened today!!! Sorry QQQ, U did so well not to gutter mark the wheels, and I did my rear in less than a month. And I did it real good too.(Almost half way around)!! Bloody CBD basement parking!!! Anyway the reason for the post is that I got a mobile wheel repair guy coming around on Wednesday and he's suppose to be pretty good. He spins the wheel up on the car then clear coats it when finished. He's about $160 a wheel!!! I will let y'all know if his any good because im sure that im not the only one that has a crappy CBD park!! No disrespect Q, I was "not happy" when I scratched this wheel, Man I would of been P#$ed if it were the $1000 a pop "Work VS1's" that I want to get!! I think that I might have to look @ getting a new parking spot before then!!!

Hey guys, We've gone quiet in the MODS dept!!! Anyone got something new or something in the pipeline?? Cevu, you got the F-sport springs yet??

LoL.....I like ya style....., give props to ya self!!! Well done!! Well fellas, if ya see a hot chick driving a blue IS, ya'll know who it is!! We are still waiting for a pick of ya car!! Surely your not the only hot chick in a Lexus!!! ;) Are ya?!?!?!?

Well, this is the drop im looking for!!! I know, no where as dramatic as Niicks, but hey, reasonable!! If i were to estimate, I would say it would be about 1.7" from what I got now @ the rears, the front is a little too low but I had to see what it looked like!! ;) Who mentioned it to me a while ago that they sourced the Eibachs or the Teins local!! Surely we don't need to go OS!!!!

Hey mate, Have you got the lexus logo on its own?? Can I grab it?? I just want to toy around with an idea of got!! ;)

Nice work guys, def like the rides!! Only thing is, I started this topic so no one would fuss about posting a bad pic, and all ya'll have posted good ones!! Why am I the only one that posted a crapy pic!! I think I will have to amend mine!! Need to do the drop first!!! Oh yeh, & Boeky72, Im with you, I still enjoy jumping in even if its to work and I know that I will be stuck in peak hour!! ;)

Yeh, we know!!! Looks like we will all be buying our bits locally if at all possible!!!

Hi ldc, I think yours is a different issue. Its well known that the internal air vent filter can get mouldy if you dont run the fan for "X" amount of time after switching the air-con off. You might want to get the filter changed!!

Blue IS250 with aftermarket crome alloys driving down Windsor rd earlier today (5pm approx)!!!

Come on y'all , some of you haven't posted a pic yet, whats doin???? Ilv, your one of many on the list!!! ;) Thats why I created this topic, its a no fuss opportunity to post a pic of ya ride!!

Hey QQQ, I've said it before,& I will say it again.....Damn you have done well with your ride!!! Are you sure that you don't want to "give" me your springs!!! I mean, "sell"!!! :D

Hey QQQ, What can I say brother, I am in total agreement with you...Its great to see and & I would like to think that there will be more!!! Have y'all seen Batmobiles ride on CL?? Now she did an awesome job with her IS. (full VIP )..... And does she contribute to the forum, damn does she what!!!& her posts, brilliant!! Look, I "Spotted" a hot, white modded IS @ Norwest a while ago!! Female driver!!........ Become a member if ya out there & reading this!! Anyway, welcome again mzlexus & I will ensure that the fellas R good!!!!! ;)

Hey Niick, How many K's have U done?? Surely the cat would be fine with the age of our cars! I just did a quick "google", as you do, and most of the guys were talking about the engine running rich. (Oxygen sensor)!. But hey, surely you would notice a rough idle or some change in engine behaviour! Mate, gotta say, I have never smelt it with my car and I would put it forward to Lexus that no one else in our forum has the prob! (That is if im not speaking too early)!!!

Welcome!! Great to see yet another member! Pretty straight forward, im sure all will assist or if nothing else, point you in the right direction if U req!! ;)

Hey Niick, I think that we all can say that you are now the forums official Photoshop "GURU"!!! I like what ilv suggested with incorporating an outline instead of having it filled with a background. Something along the lines of the logo I PM'd ya a while ago. Don't know how hard it would be to do, but if the line thickness could thin out towards the ends. You know, try to give it a sleek look!! Thanks for the effort mate!!

Very clean Art!! Are you planning to refine the look in anyway,you know,just subtle refinements, or are you holding out untill you get the IS-F?!?!?!? ;)

Gotta love Photoshop!! Anyway, stop photoshop'n and make the drop reality brother!!! You any closer to making a decision with the springs?? Are you going to go with side skirts aswell or are U hoping to achieve the look entirely through the drop?

I agree with Art on the X demos, definately a good option if your budget is a bit tight. The good thing with Lexus is that they utilise loan cars with their servicing. They on average, they will only keep the car in the loan phase untill it hits the 5K mark. Then they will sell it. The dealers wont always see them so you will have to scout around. One thing I did prior to buying new was utilise a broker to find me a pre-loved cars. He had a lot of contacts that had access to these cars. For me, it ended up more beneficial to buy new, but this could be a good option if you want to save some cash!!

Mate, I`ve seriously got tears in my eyes from laughing so god damn much!!! That is brilliant!! :D

Empty tank!!! Justify if you must mate!!!! HAhHAHA!! :D

Hey ldc, As you can see, with 18s, a drop is a must. Ample clearance, too much!! Did I say that it needs a drop!! (So no need to worry about anything........besides the drop)!!!

Hey Niick, this is what a mobile phone pic should look like..........very, very average!!! I put it down to low light conditions, yeah, thats it!! ;) & yes, drop will come!!!!
