Thanks Danny, i will give it a go

Hello All

The battery on my IS went flat over night. I have done the initializing on the power windows but waht happens now is the the drivers fron window winds up as normal but then winds back down 40mm after it has reached the top. Has anyone had this happen to them before?

Cheers

I have found with slotted rotors there is a speed related droaning noise under braking. Has anyone heard this? I have realised that the increased braking performance gained by using these rotors is no compensation for the resulting noise. IMO

There is no denying that they look better though!!

3. A really strange issue, since the install , the heated seats are on, even though the switch is off

Any ideas would be great.

Regards,

Have you reconnected the seat switches.

I recently replaced my front pads and rotors. I went for ebc blacks. I think they call them ultimax. I wouldn't recommend them. Black by name, black by nature. Wheels started to turn black on the way back from the car wash. They do stop well though. With the rotors, They are the same for Aurion so check out the price for Aurion rotors. The part numbers are different but the rotors are the same. There is another toyota model that takes the same one too but I cant remember which one it is. The reason im letting you know this is that maybe because they are for a lexus, You might be paying a premium.

Has anyone tried the GCT's. Are they cleaner?

Cheers

I hope your buying another lecky?

How much are you looking for, what condition are they in and do they have tyres.

I know I should have bought the ones that were for sale a few weeks ago but is has taken me this long to work out that I actually like these ones.

im looking at your spoiler as well

Darren

Hi all

I know this is the wrong place to post this but I am looking for a set of sports wheels

if you have a set , please pm me or my no is 0433 490 497

many thanks

Cecil

Thats a great post David. I think the moderators should make this a sticky as the info will just get lost otherwise.

Glad your happy with it now its all sorted

cheers

Darren

i thought the sport had a grey type wood look arangement.. thats the one im after

Do the coil overs introduce road noise or is it all good?

After getting blown away by the Lexus Australia price of the lip( around 8fiddy)I was on ebay uk the other night. I managed to get a new genuine one, delivered to my door for $450. I thought that was pretty reasonable

Cecil

The unit arrived as promised with the specific lexus patch lead. A few problems with the emulation. For people doing it themselves, the easy way for the emulation to begin is to have the ignition on, the unit in program mode and then connect the unit to the car and bingo:lol:

the beeping starts and away you go.

I mounted the unit by making a bracket and then attached it to the two M6 studs that hang down above the glovebox. This way I could the earth the unit which is what the makers have suggested is the best way. This reduces the chances of earth loops which could cause noise. The glovebox itself needs to be removed to gain access to the studs.

I am totally happy with the product. I have used various aftermarket systems before with ipod controllers fitted, namely Pioneer's AVIC and Eclipses AVN6000 and this is every bit as good if not better for sound quality and ease of use.

I highly recommend it

Purchased from Advanced Ice

Part no SL2i - L

Price, $305 delivered. I have a parts business. I can purchase for you and send it to you if that would save you any money

Cheers

Darren

I actually took the panels out yesterday and up close I can see the slither of veneer on the plastic. It still doesnt change my mind about the "wood". If someone has the sport and wants to add some luxury to their ride, we may be able to do a swap. Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love the car to bits, Just not the centre console bit. I guess its more the colour than anything.

I hope I havent offended anyone as that was not my intention.

Cheers all

Darren

ok, thanks. i will call them tomorrow

Darren

Are you for real?

Goodness me, I thought it was fake. well maybe i will see it in a different light now:D

thanks for letting me know

Darren

Hi All

As you know I have just purchased my Is250 and unfortunately it came standard with the fake wood in the middle and on the doors. I know this is a stupid question but does anyone with a sport want to do a swap( i said it was stupid) or has anyone got any other ideas for toning it down a bit

Cheers

FYI, I purchased the SL2i - L today from advanced ice.

They promised me I would have it tomorrow (friday 12/11) I will fit it as soon as it arrives so I will keep you posted on developments.

Cheers

Darren

Without wanting to offend you, i would have to say no. I do like the IS F ones though. With the ones on your car, I think its just that the rear bar is not shaped right for them.

But, its all about what you like.

Cheers

Cecil

Your "is2fiddy" will look a treat when its done. Dont forget to keep us in the loop throughout your modifications with pictures. I personally am interested in the blacking out the headlights mod. Please let me know how you get on with splitting the headlamps in half

Good luck with the personalisation

Darren

I have tried Eibach themselves. Is there places around that specialize in our cars . Who Knows, they might have a set in the back corner of their parts room. Any chances of some names? I wouldn't know where to start.

edit, I have just ordered the springs from the States. AUD372 delivered which is just short of $200 cheaper than I could get them from over here. I got them off ebay if anyone else is interested

Cecil

Hi All

Well, i have fitted the pedders lowered springs with a terrible result.

front 350 from centre of hub to gaurd

rear 325 " " " " " "

Looks absolutely crap.

I am ordering eibach springs, Only one problem...... None available for 7 weeks in Australia. Has anyone had any luck ordering from the States?

Darren

HI all

I have read this section with great interest. Im thinking of lowering mine by about 1 inch. Has anyone else done this? I have fitted 18s to the car and I am happy with the ride quality. What I am concerened about is loosing ride quality with lowering it. Also, I know to some cars fitting sway bars changes the handling heaps and makes the cars so much more predictable. This was true for my Subaru Liberty. The rear bar was hollow originally. From your experiences is it a worthwhile upgrade for the IS250 or just a waste of cash. Sorry about all the questions
