When I tried to look for pedals before locally, I found a set from a wrecking is250

but the guy wanted around $400, so it would be better getting it from usa brand new.

as for parts and accessories try chatswood lexus, they can get some stuff for you.

before i asked for prices on a few items and some had same price as overseas, some not.

This should be everybody's car, cept for Terry's friend.

I think everyone did, lance had his as usual.

That's what popped into mind.

ilv1004s, i've read somewhere there won't be a next isf. and v8 too

looks like a hyundai

That sucks man, especially on the is250. My yaris got keyed the first week i got it off the showroom but since its cheap it didn't bother me too much.

That said, I did try meguiars scratch X 2.0 and it didn't work as the scratch was deep. Also touch up paint is really obvious to the eye and isn't a good way to repair a long line across the door. Since your car is graphite maybe it would look better.

You should call AAMI to see if you have to pay the standard excess when you claim. If you do I'd go another route.

biggest thread revival ever!

I use E10 in my is200, fuel economy has gone south.. wouldn't recommend it.

That's me bro. I did go to that area and I saw a few good looking ard there too. Well spotted mate.

Hehe, your car caught my eye as i was driving past in my yaris lol.

nice drop as well.

Did you drive by Lansvale today or something, saw a few Is today and saw one exactly like that. Pretty sure was around there.

Has anyone had any experience with K&N intake?

Part Id is:69-8701TP

In this thread there is a picture of it installed.

+1 intake

Congrats with the purchase Ultrasonic, what colour did you get?

My 250 drinks 10.6 /100km :( but I hardly get to drive on a stretch of road without traffic /traffic lights.

Our liberty is 14.4, so for a v8 that seems pretty good to me.

Both the address book and previous destinations don't get wiped for me.

Sounds good, though every RSL I go to the carpark is always packed till late.

Must not gamble.....

Intake installed courtesy of ilv1004s

Headlights, looks funny. Updated to whiter halogens and led parkers.

Good pics. Cheers for the meet; everyone had nice cars.. got some ideas and advice too.

Here's one pic i got.

Really, I should just sell my cars and buy one of these. :D

That's a 35km drive, not too bad. If you give me where, when i'll try make it.

Hey, if it's not too far I can come.

Not sure how much petrol i'll have by tomorrow and petrol usually isn't cheap then.

Saw a silver is250 with black rims and euro plates today... Taken to the repair shop at Warwick Farm, the drivers side was all smashed up, ouch.

Yesterday a '10 is250 silver on red p's with two blonde chicks inside, on great western highway at parramatta. We were driving side by side for awhile until I had to make a turn.

Sorry I cannot make it! I really wanted to come but i have university exams the day after.

I'll try and make it to the one after though!

Have fun 2IS owners!

Ditto. ;(

Since I'm happy with the handling of my car with its current tyre sizes, I'll probably stick with 225s and 245s.

Results of further research:

Bob Jane T-mart - recommend Yokohama db V103 - quote over the phone was: 225s are $320 and 245s are $380 each, fitted and balanced.

- did not give much of a rap to the Hankook Ventus V12 evo - 225s are $255 and 245s are $310 each.

- suggested Kumho as an alternative - similar price to Hankook, but I didn't get any other details.

Lexus Brighton - recommend Yokohama or Michelin and avoid Pirelli - not sure about which models.

Tirerack.com - quoted Hankook Ventus V12 evo - 225s @ US $99 and 245s @ US $100 each - freight etc US $266 delivered to my place (Melbourne).

According to Tirerack's website, Yokohama Advan Sport looks very similar to the Yokohama db V103 in terms of tread pattern, so I'm assuming they're the same tyre - 225s are US $183 and 245s are US $188 - I presume freight costs would be much the same.

Any comments on the Yokohamas would be appreciated.

And point noted about rim protection - I've managed to get some curb rash despite the rim protection on the Dunlops!!

Try other shops, BobJane are a rip off imo.. every time I go there for a quote they give me a price that is nowhere near the competition. for e.g a quote for falken 18's was around $305 front at Bob jane and at Jax was $195. Also the guy only gave me 2 options of tyres when I inquired, Jax gave me lots.

19" looks to be the perfect size. I'm trying to save for rotiform but keep spending my money.

I'll have to settle with 18" for now.. got plenty of room for 19"

I've seen some 20" rims on the IS and it looks weird compared to the ones that have a bodykit + 20".
