dis-lex-sic

i only ever see the prestige ones with the ugly 16" rims, sometimes a few Sport Lux's, rarely see a IS250 with the same sport rims as mine

The reason you rarely see the same wheels as yours is because it was the least popular model and sold the least due to the fact that is was the only car in the Lexus range not to have leather. It came with the fake/synthetic suede called Alcantara. Pity because the wheels are nice.

Its not off topic in the general section...there are some hi res shot there too.

Australian launch is in Feb 2011.

Behind the glass???

How does that work with tint?

Redbull look like the best team to be with in F1 as they party like no other.

Firstly with Webber & Vettel diving into Monaco Harbour..has this ever been done before by a winning driver?

Then with the team diving into the pool on their yatch!!!!

Photos tell the story:

Hi,

Could you please give info the latest Whereis Navigational DVD v13. I have a lexus Lx 470..

Regards

Hendra

Mate, the date on that post is "27 January 2007 - 02:53 PM" you are extremely unlikely to get a reply.

If I were you I'd visit a lexus dealership and ask them to do it. :)

Plus V16 is now out...

Dealers would be throwing V13 in the bin these days.

Webber took pole from the Pol (Kubica) by 0.3 sec.....biggest gap I've seen in a while & 0.4 sec quicker than his more fancied team mate.

Alonso from the back is odds on to get into trouble with a slower car.

Not possible.

You can put the key in the drivers door lock, turn it to the right and hold it & all the windows & sunroof close. Remote would be better but this gets it done.

Does it work on your car?

im pretty sure

probably wrong tho

:D

Pole will be a 3 way battle between Vettel, Webber & Alonso.

Redbulls aren't showing 100% yet.

I so hope it rains during the race.

Sydney City - 8303 1900

Chatswood - 9410 3288

Parramatta - 1300 797 837

Sutherland - 9542 6167

Parramatta......service direct 9204 6520

Sydney City....service direct 8303 1933

Chatswood......service direct 9406 8388

I think the price you've been quoted ($920) is very competitive....

I thought it was purely for USB devices (thumb drives / external hard drives)

What made you think that?

I've used both non-genuine/aftermarket & the MY10 factory fitted USB plug and the factory USB plug set up is better than an iPod specific plug as it give you the flexability of using both iPod & other memory storage devices. Plus it displays better on the screen.

Also the factory system gives you better functionality with a more extensive iPod menu.

If they "red-out" the indicators then they are illegal.

And technically void your insurance,

Yep and being a relatively inexperienced driver you're bound to be making an insurance claim at some stage, again.

So its definitely something not to risk.

Thats right Jom.

The boot deadlock is a button on the right hand edge just inside the glovebox.

Hey, welcome and you'll only love it more and more as the years go by.

Anyway, the iPhone is not as easy as plug and play into the USB port; but you would need to get a iPod / iPhone connector which connects into the back of the unit and sits in the glove box or centre console. (I recommend glove box; I had mine moved from the centre console when I realised I couldn't manually use it and it always got in the way).

You can usually get these thrown in with the car purchase; but since you've taken delivery you might have to fork up for it. But well worth it!

Hey Franky he's got a 2010 model...USB is standard from factory in the centre console.

So your part right...it is thrown in with purchase.

Welcome 52midnite & congrats on the car...what colour combo did you get?

In regards to your iPhone, the salesman that sold you the car should have shown you how to get the tunes flowing.

Try this....plug the cable into the USB in the car but not your iPhone yet. Start music playing on your iPhone then plug the cable into the iPhone and you should then be able to select "USB" on the audio screen. All going well you should be singin' & dancin'.

Let us know how you go.

If they "red-out" the indicators then they are illegal.

Hi all,

I will get straight to the point.... kinda!! (AND BE WARNED......., IT MAY GET MUSHEEEYY)!!!!

Come on guys, hope I didn't get musheeeyyyyy just for the hell of it!!

Amazing how right you were nearly 2 years ago!!!

Yes it has got "MUSHEEEYY"

And no, not just for the hell of it.....well done.

To sum up, if both Jenson and Lewis were at the back of the grid, who would you put your money on to move up to the front, hmmm???

To overtake more cars? Lewis.

To finish the race in front of the other? Jenson.

Now moving forward, IDC/Project, who/what are your predictions for Monaco this weekend?

By the way there is possible showers forecast for Monaco through out the week. That plus the fact that there is a huge difference between the quickest & slowest cars means drama for sure.

My prediction: Carnage.

Here's some pics of it done..

402hp would be at the engine for a the 3.5L with mods. not too had

Enough for you? Or you want more...

Maybe ask the dealer to hook it up to the IT in the workshop and clear any "codes" it might have.

Hey no bagging of Lewis, he was quick.

As a Mclaren fan I take it you're also supporting Jenson?

He is leading the WDC yet there is more talk about his team mate that is 6th in the WDC, behind Nico Rosberg.

I don't understand that about Mclaren fans. Why do you think there is that disproportionate coverage/support of the team mates?

Engine growling huh? Did you......

Lexus of Brighton are Melbourne's number 1 dealer.

For sure give them a try.

Bloody hell! I cant believe that Lewis got a puncture on the 2nd last lap.

They are saying it was a failure of the rim not a puncture...I think it was a tyre letting go.

And I know, all you haters are going to say that he pushed his rubber to the limit.................please, just a few laps before he ripped out the races quickest lap..........

The quickest lap is the result of the lighter fuel load towards the end of the race.......but you've got to ask why?

When you are no chance of catching Webber for the win and Vettel is no chance of catching you for second....

Why risk it with a fastest lap???

Why not back it off a bit like Webber did? Why?

In reference to Lewis he is like a real life Col Trickle from Days of Thunder the Tom Cruise movie. And I quote:

Harry Hogge: "Oh he can drive. He can drive beyond the limits of the tires, the engine, the car or anything else. If the sum' bitch listened to me we wouldn't hardly ever lose a race!"

Lewis needs Harry Hogge as a manager...hahaha
