hey i live in sydney and own a lexus is200, is it possible to buy this exhaust here? and is it worth it if the car is automatic

As far as I know, No you cant, you have to get it shipped. I bought mine from LEX51S 2nd-hand (the same one u see above in the photos).

In terms of power increases, the IS200 stock exhaust is already a wide-ish one (6cm diameter) all the way through from extractors to the catback. The hi power silent is a little bit wider. And its only a catback only at the end of the day (not a compelete exhaust), so the power increases are only minimal and only at high revs. It will make more difference if the extractors were changed also.

In terms of looks and sound, its brilliant, I love it. Its just a quiet deep hum. Gives the car a sporty look while maintaining the Lexus image ... (will in my imagination it does lol)

Just bought a new front lip for my IS 200 and thought I'd share a picture with you guys. It was a terrible fit at first, but with a bit of cutting and altering it, it came out quite nice! Soon time for a little drop and maybe some wheels :)

nice, did u get it sprayed or you bought it pre-sprayed?

hi all, as you most know the 1999 IS200 does not come with a center consol armrest. Does anyone know where I can get one 2nd hand? any wreckers?

I found one in the US ebay going for about $300USD.

A new one from Sewell will cost $450USD or more with shipping:

Sewell Armrest

If anyone knows where I can get it cheaper will be good.

cheers

im looking for a spare wheel to put in my boot, a stock wheel for the lexus, and the driver door mould aswell. If anybody has give me a head up thanx

Will you be intrested in buying 4 of them?

Hi all, my IS200 has a problem where you turn the steering wheel but it doesn't straighten up when you accelerate. Has anyone else had this problem, what was it and was it expensive to fix?

Take it to pedders and do a "28 point check". Has the car been in frontal accidents before?

Get pedders or any tyre shops to do wheel allignment ... that usually fix's it (60-70$ costs for front and back tyres)

If the 300 one is abit bigger but still fits then it shouldnt be a problem. As long as the filter has a none return valve. I know that K&N usually use none return valves in their fitlers. Hence not a problem ;)

All Toyota filters has none return valves inside them.

I used bigger filters before with none return valves on cars, didnt notice any issues. But if you use a cheap filter with no none return valve it will cause a delay for the oil pressure to biuld up when you first start the car. So you will notice the oil pressure lamp stay on for few seconds after you start the car on the dash.

My car has done 130k-km ... I still use 5-30 Castrol Edge. I know its abit light, but its good when starting the car in winter and its generally good if you rev the engine ;)

FWD Lexus?

might as well rebadge it as a toyota now

Disappointing!!

I like the dash though .. looks complicated .. definitly like :P

No they arent jake As dan said they are replica with many led. Like justins/cevu

Just put them in they look sexy. Not cheap like clear. BTW set of clears going cheap lol

ISF and LEDs .. the better of both worlds .. cant wait to see the pics :P

I think this size is perfect too ;)

I would prefer to have them on the outside .. easier to apply and easier to take off.

SO ... when do we get them? :P

about this size i think

It's probably best to disconnect your battery and leave it off until you whole interior is all dry first. You don't want to short circuit anything in the process :)

I second that.

Its not very hot these days though, might take couple of days to dry :S

Good luck

Here are some pics from yesterdays meet. It was good to meet some new faces. We should keep this sorta stuff going by building interest around this community :)

when it happens

Hopfully ... looking forward to it

Hi all ... as might some kno, i joined recently to the forums. Bought my IS last September. Been wanting to get my self one since long time before that :)

mods so far:

- Bought 18" wheels.

- I change the shocks to KYBs couple of weekends ago ... that was really fun to do and I saved my self some bucks, but it is definitly a 2 man job lol

- Installed 5000K HIDs

- Another mod, which I bought recently from LEX51S recently, is a HKS Hi Power Silent cat-back exhaust.

I usually do maintenance at home, but I follow the book and I only use fully synthetic oils. Lexus offered me a free service though for buying it. I am taking it to the city lexus tomorrow.

The car has a full Legana kit :D

If I can be bothered, I will put togather a car PC for it. I already looked for parts. May be towards the end of the year.

Some pics:

With Stock exhaust:

I vote Palm beach

Time doesnt matter, should be available most weekends.

Got it done 2 days after I got it :P ... couldnt wait. Its brilliant :-D

I will add a new topic soon in the IS200 forums to show it ;)
