LEX51S

Poll set up please VOTE at the top of the thread!!

Personally i think it looks terrible,

That front headlight design .... looks silly

side on looks like a toyota 86 not a Lexus

Rear plain but suits lexus new range.

steering wheel over complicated

Waiting for a drive to decide but i much prefer the GS at the moment

edit.

To me glancing at it again looks like a cheap subaru

make an offer

SOLD!!

Come pick it up Steve ill give you a good price!

They are Tanabe NF210 springs! Says it gives an even drop of 0.7" all round, but it actually looks a bit lower in person. I didn't want to go too low risking scrapes, rough bumps and excessive camber wear.

Lol rough bumps. Scrapes and excessive camber wear are part of my life now. Lol.

Looks good.

There is myth about disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery. It wont do a complete reset because there is still potential voltage in the ecu (Much debate about this but as an electrician disconecting the negative isnt as logical as pos). Disconnect the positive terminal for 10-20 mins and check how u have mounted the air sensor correctly

No i didnt have a wiring diagram. I figured it all out my self. If you go to ryda on parramatta rd at petersham they will install it for you in about half an hour. The facia kit is double or single din compatible. Ill pm u some details.

Thats a vid of my car and that smaoke comes out days after cleaning / burning off carbon.

upper throttle body / upper injector carbon clean, Lexus charges a fair bit for the glorified process but its worth it.

I had an After market head unit in my is200, I just bypased the factory amp and just wired from the after market head unit to the speakers. (spliced at the factory amp under the glove box).

Also Where are you located i have a facia kit i been wanting to get rid of for years. i can post it out to you if you want.

Welcome rivertime, Enjoy.

The carbon build up is a problem throughout all lexus / toyota and in the US they have been instructed to carbon clean as standard in every service. I have mine done every service by my mechanic. Greatly improves the responsiveness of the car.

brake pads - in the US they supply dustless oem but as of not long ago AUS dealers refuse to know anything about these.

The others i have no info on.

speak to chatswood lexus (sid) they do them with warranty.

still full!!

please pm me if you are selling or group buying these

hey guys,

I recently bought a 2009-2010 Tom's unpainted, rear lip is for Quad exhaust anticipating to paint it up and install it, but a few things have come up and i wont be doing it. I paid 600 on a product worth 1000 shipped. im just looking for my money back. local delivery to sydney metro/ outer. it will fit any model IS. (exc ISF)

Yeah about $1200 for the stripped version, but a heck of alot cheaper than buying a new lexus lol

try ebay US. i recently picked up a set for $1100 shipped.

just have to look out for a good buy i guess. took me a while to find a decently priced set.

REALLY?? are they retrofit? or will the new model ones fit any older model.

ghias, good to see you got your ten meaningful and helpful posts contributing to be able to get into buy and sell. welcome to the forum.
