  1. Seems some have swapped engines for the 2JZ-GTE (supra twin turbo) 477rwhp 429rwtq @ 21psi http://my.is/forums/f156/just-dynoed-2jzgte-is250-420182/
  2. Anyone know if an Is250 in australia has been supercharged yet? I'm interested in getting the Arma supercharger http://www.armaspeed.com/eng/goods.php?act=cat&no=29 My 250 cost under 30k so a supercharger is cheaper than is350 My friend says blowoff valves, particularly 120db of the arma are illegal in QLD Anyway around this legally or mechnically?
  3. Im interested in this now. Are the options only Arma or RGM? So is Arma the better one? more power etc. where can i get this done
  4. Thought it better to bring this topic back than start a new one Has anyone installed halos to their headlights in aussie A lot of people overseas have, hoping to find someone whos done it or just get an auto shop to do it. Ebay halos seem to look nice enough i saw a guy post pics on a forum
  5. Hi guys - goldcoast - let you know when i get quotes - not raising quarters, shaving is cheaper and looks better / sharper
  6. Hi denis Spoiler cost me about $190 shipped, unpainted, primed When it gets here i will drive around show it to some shops and get quotes Il go with whoever is mix of reasonable price / capable Based on other forums estimate cost to be $400 mold/paint grab one off ebay We can be the first in aussie
  7. @philliphs was that for is250? or is200 My 2007 is250 has 111,000km on the clock perhaps it'd be worth a go. On a slightly different note. Does anyone know how to get rid of the cambelt noise or whatever it is?
  8. proper carbon buildup clean will be more than $40 The ones i've seen done on Audis are intense. The entire engine is opened up
  9. Selling a car during a recession 101 80k RRP New 60k Fair Price + 15,000km 50k Market Price
  10. I've bought this spoiler off ebay I'll be getting it painted and molded to the boot, then it'll look like this. Still on the fence about keeping/removing the L badge heres one without badge in white my car is black, here is one in black with badge and one in silver
  11. Same situation here. 2007 IS250 sports bit of a joke really. Should have stuck to Mercedes/BMW
  12. I bought mine with 245s front and back want to run 235 front / 255 rear though when I replace in another 5000km Thinking about Kumho KU31s
  13. I'm going to be replacing tyres soon also Have done some research Everyone says you can use 235/45 on the fronts no problems. One guy even said the dealers said its fine to do it also. So don't listen to people who say Lexus spent millions of dollars researching it and you should always use 225 So when I get mine I'll be going 235 front & 245 or 255 rears I was thinking about Kumho KU39 Or Kumho KU31
  14. I bought the new F-Sport style grille off ebay for my 2007 Lexus IS250 sport Doesn't come with badge though so I need to grab one off ebay Just wondering if this one is the right dimensions? W:129 x H:88 mm. http://cgi.ebay.com/LEXUS-RX350-LS460-GS300-IS250-BADGE-EMBLEM-LOGO-129x88-/350393220114?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5195103c12#ht_1048wt_907
  15. just thought i'd add i purchased the Bendix General CT as replacement pads from the local mechanic. $150 for front pair, $150 for rear pair. No idea how they compare to OEM as my previous weren't OEM i dont think, that said they provide smooth soft braking and work reasonably well far as I can tell and give off minimal brakedust if any at all.. fyi: my last car was a 2009 BMW 135i which comes stock with Brembo Sports brakes. Those brakes were SUPER instant feedback + equally SUPER brake dust I dont mind these ones
  16. Hi Guys Just an update, I purchased #1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190526158205&viewitem= $106 USD + $46 USD Shipping (about the same in Aus Dollar) Think I might get it powder coated gloss black after having read this thread here so it doesnt blend in too much http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-second-generation/567005-is-f-style-grille-for-06-08-from-option-racing-ebay-part-2-installed.html I'm also going to find a way to gloss black the grill surround & chrome window trim. Will take it all to a powder coater and see if they can do it all! Stay tuned
  17. nice one dude, if you're looking for mods, consider a grille upgrade I'm saving up for one right now Going to try replicate this look
  18. Found an F Style Grille here looks great, will probably go for it. But need to find a place to paint the chrome surround on the grille to a glossy black so it looks nice / contrasts the bumper a bit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-08-LEXUS-IS250-350-ISF-STYLE-GRILLE-GRILL-GSE20-JDM-/270738867311?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f094b446f
  19. Yea guess so Just Trying to find one around $100 or so rather than the $200 they're asking for that one Cause you can now get ISF style front bumpers complete kit for only $450/$500 So spending $200 on just a grille insert is idiotic :/
  20. Howdy Anyone in the country sell F Style Grilles like the following http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-08-LEXUS-IS250-IS350-BLACK-IS-F-STYLE-MESH-GRILLE-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZMakeQ3aLexusQ7cModelQ3aIS250QQhashZitem1c1a815092QQitemZ120703766674QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_6081wt_1154 Trying to find one cheap or at least local rather than buying off Ebay
  21. Oh okay thanks but hey can you tell me more what partial lock etc is Is having 235 on the front right now perhaps the reason my fronts need alignment?
  22. Is that betyer than kumho ku39 cause i got quoted about 319 for fronts and 359for rears which is 1356 Quote from kmart tyres
