Atlantis

I've driven both the CT200h and the 1.5L Yaris YRX, they feel very similar in power delivery. The extra weight of the CT may make it slightly more stable through a corner, but they're both slow moving vehicles.

I've found out that Lexus (well, basically all manufacturers) misquote their fuel use figures by several percent. Since they generally calibrate the speedometer to read slightly higher than actual speed (so you don't get pinged by a camera for doing 2-3km over) this affects the onboard L/100km calculations. I recently changed my wheels and tyres to what several GPS units have shown me to now have dead accurate speedo readings... ie. when it says 100km/h I'm actually doing 100, not 95. My average fuel numbers have increased since I'm not travelling the extra 5% worth of kilometres per litre :( For example, Lexus quote 9.1L/100km as average for the IS250... using tyres which achieve correct speedo readings changes this figure to ~9.6L/100km. Not happy to see my numbers up, as slight as it might be.

Whoa, CT300h would be interesting... the 200h feels like a Yaris :(

1. LEX51S 2. Atlantis I kinda have to be there LOL!

Ahh Mercs... make sure you carry a 5L container of oil in the boot. You'll need it.

Which dark side are you moving to?

+1 again for Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer. I cleaned my entire interior with it a few days ago. Doesn't leave any slimy or shiny residue (like ArmorAll) and removed the marks you mention.

Looks like an Audi :P

I thought the 350 Prestige still had halogens? Edit: I guess not, just checked the website. Could have sworn the initial specs still showed the Prestige to have halogens.

Boy there are a lot of ways to make a nice car look ugly :P

A bit of first hand info, 235 and 245 will scrub the plastics on partial lock with correct offset and 8-8.5" wide front wheels. Stick with 225 if you want to avoid destroying the plastics.

4WS was in the "active" Soarer UZZ32. Amazing turning circle, and disorienting lane changes. Will be interesting to see a new development of it.

9.3L/100km over the past 18,000km. 80% city driving or thereabouts.

I thought I heard something along the lines of the next IS sharing the GS platform, or possibly slightly shorter but identical otherwise. Vague memories of a salesperson from Chatswood mentioning it a while back.

Plenty of downhill speed cameras in Wollongong :(

We can have an Old Timers meet if you like :)

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/suspension-and-brakes/443831-f-sport-sway-bar-problem.html Problem was discovered a little while ago. Looks like the floorpan of our boots is different the US chassis. Not very nice at all. You now own a fancy blue paper weight :( Very sorry to hear it.

IS250 rear sway bar is definitely curved to shape around the spare wheel. Not sure what's going on with the US model :(

Were they ordered for the correct year model? There are 2 different product codes for the sway bar kit for different year models.

Drive down to Sydney or wait til I come up to Brisbane again? :P

lol... Russell Peters

I think coolmeow means just phone via Bluetooth.

Piece of cake... on of my photography suppliers is in Leeds St.

Lets see if my usual place is willing to make custom bars for me again. I'll call them later in the week. If it works out the same as when I got my Soarer ones made, yes, copies will be available for group buy.

Hmm, heated seats only... could be an F ;)
