thanks mate ! i was looking at lexus of north miami's ebay site and yesterday around (1am1ish) they had the air intake listed for approx. AUS $270 and on their store page they also wrote "free shipping for this weekend for international orders" according to google local time at miami at the moment is Sunday 7.11pm BUT now the intake is listed at approx $284 and i can't find any info on the free shipping thingo anymore

hey guys, Looking at grabbing a fsport air intake for the is250. After reading up on info on the web i've come across hydrolock a couple of times and its got my scared. What are the chances of it happening? The fsport intake uses a modified version of the factory airbox so everything is enclosed so am i right in assuming that everything should be ok ? The car does 6hrs of highway driving/week and sometimes 60% or more of the trip is undertaken through rainy conditions at 110km/hour. Car isn't lowered. Also will this device work by any chance? Furthermore, are there any improvements in fuel economy namely for those who mostly drive on the highway ? http://www.aemintakes.com/air_bypass_valve.htm Cheers guys !

i went to my local discount store and bought 2 needles which u use to inflate rugby/soccer balls for 99 cents. Once i heard the click, 2 small flathead screwdrivers on either side of the fascia popped it open

hey guys, Looking to upgrade my stock halogen bulbs with a HID xenon kit off ebay, specifically this kit: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260552366719?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 In the item description it said, "*Certain cars may require a relay harness and or canceller(sold separately)." My question is will i need this relay harness/canceller? Cheers in advance! Babaquazi

hey guys, i was looking at changing some of the lights around the car. I found an item on ebay listed here I found that the following light types are suitable for the following locations. Parking light: 168 License plate: 168 Map light: 168 Step/Courtesy light: 175/194 However seeing as the product is a "42 LED SMD T10" they said "These LED bulbs are longer and wider than stock T10 wedge light bulbs, therefore please make sure they will fit before buying." So to the members who have changed their lights around is there sufficient clearance for these LED's? Also in Australia are we allowed to have Blue LED's for our licence plate lights? Cheers, Babaquazi :D

I'm sure that we all know about the various supercharger kits for the IS250 that are out there. Not many of them can be purchased by us everyday consumers. This post is probably not as relevant as before with the introduction of the IS350 into the Australian market. However, i decided to look into the RGM supercharger kit manufactured by RGM Motorsport Here is the link for the is250 page and the youtube video. I sent him an email asking "hi, i was looking at ur products particularly the RGM supercharger for the lexus is250. I was wondering whether you could ship it to postcode 2000, located in Sydney, Australia (would it operate in Australia due to differences in altitude and everything?) and what would be the approximate price for all parts required for the conversion including shipping." Managing Partner Rob Green replied and stated, "GMotorsport would like to thank you for your interest in RGM performance. RGM thanks you for your request regarding supercharging the LEXUS is250. We are able to supply the kit in export form for R60 000.00 (ZAR South African rand ) this price EXCLUDING the14% tax as it is for export. This will not include the exhaust system(as it will not meet your emission standards). Shipping will be for your account door to door. The approximate size as well as the weight are as follows: 32 x 23x 22cm and the weight is 44Kilograms DHL will charge approximately R 10 780.00 ZAR. Here is the file which Managing Partner Rob Green sent to me within his email LEXUS IS2500 SC.pdf I just thought that i'd post it up here so that if anyone is interested in supercharging their is250, they have a starting point :D

hey guys, i was looking around on the net and i saw that some guys were applying plastidip to their rims. Has anyone on the forums gone for it and if so would they be able to upload some pics? Cheers! :D

LOL i had an old navman before which asked me to "perform a u-turn when possible" when i was in the harbor tunnel....:/

not a big thing but maybe add "X" under "IS250 Gen 1 Late 2005 - 2008"
