  1. Yeah, it is probably ECU related. Dealer told me Lexus technicians have driven these cars with IT equipment plugged in for two months trying to figure out what causes it. It's not detrimetnal to the engine so that's good, however it can be annoying!

    PLugs will not cause descibed issue.

    I think it is your TPS.... or such, I would get the techs to bench test most of the sensors in the car Maf ,O2,TPS and give the connections a clean while theya re there..

    Gear box should not casue revs to drop at isdle as it should already be in 1st at stop/

    Good Luck buddy

    Yep O2 sensor was the first thing that bounced around in my head.

  2. Let me see some practice times before I take a "guess" at who may win.

    I will predict who will be "most improved" though. I expect Michael Schumacher to beat his team mate and put in his best showing of the year.

    P.S

    Heaven help anyone that gets in Alonso's way at the start...of his first home GP for Ferrari.

  3. They are not a factory rim for an IS200, there were three rim types offered, a 16" rim with 6 big fat spokes, only on the lower end early models, the standard 17" 5 spoke design, and the 17" 11 spoke design for IS300s and special edition IS200s.

    JTMILLER,

    You've missed the "update" 16 inch wheel on later Sport IS200's.

    Buggo,

    To answer your question the wheels pictured are a Lexus Australia accessory wheel. They were never standard from Japan but are a Genuine Lexus wheel Made for Lexus by OZ Italy and weren't cheap. They are an upgrade wheel pakage over the OEM 17 & 16 inch wheel.

    They are mentioned in this article from 1999 when Lexus launched their accessory range.

    Hope this helps

  4. Sorry ilv, I thought you may have been doing a bit of leg pulling & having a laugh.

    Speaking of the ML DVD in the car, have any of you actually heard a DVD-A in your car?

    Now I'm not talking about a music video DVD which is DVD-V.

    I've bought two DTS DVD demo discs from the USA and the sound is phenomenal.

    They are a mix of amazing surround sound scenes from movies, live concerts filmed in 5.1/6.1 surround DTS & best of all DVD audio only DTS96/24.

    Next meet I'll bring them with me.

    Makes you realize the ML sound is better than you thought.

  5. dis-lex-ic,

    can u please confirm whether its a 10k premium over the top end is250 sports lux or 10k more model for model! As in is250 prestige and sim spec is350 10k difference?

    cevu nothing is confirmed until the pricing is released "officially" by Lexus Australia.

    However it sounds like there will be 3 levels.

    Prestige..I think with EMV standard (sunroof?)

    F-sport...yes please

    Sports Lux...

    I thought this may be of interest
