IS 300 Manual Conversion
plankton007 replied to yvngkidbuu's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 / Toyota Altezza Club
A W58 box will work on the IS300 with modifications. I believe you need a manual tailshaft from the 200 though... don't quote me on that. There is also a 1jz + R154 manual box package from a jzx100 chaser which should be good for most of the parts to go into a 200/300 chassis. -
1999 Altezza Body kits

Bump! Price reduced! Shoot me some offers I want to clear these out!
-
Great car and well taken care of, pretty damn good for the price. Can vouch for the owner. Although, how many KMs and location?
-
Yeah, I was going to suggest Tanabe which is a lot more softer than the Invidia. Other than that I would suggest the Ark Grip. For a subtle note I would just simply use the factory mids and change the axle. Glad you're happy with your choice.
-
Welcome to the forums You could perhaps keep the axle back and install it onto the factory mid section. This will give you a much less aggressive tone while keeping the growl at throttle. Some people have only used the mid section but personally I think it sounds horrible.

2009 ISF - New LED's for interior and Puddle Lights
plankton007 replied to Sparky's topic in Lexus IS-F Club
I've had Vleds on my car for almost 3 years now with no decrease in brightness and colour dulling. Good quality LEDs I've actually taken them out of my car when I went back to stock and up for sale if anyone's interested. -
Great news for our 200t members with potential power bumps up to 240whp and 273 lb ft torque (178rwkw and 370nm of torque) https://www.clublexus.com/forums/performance/805369-is200t-tune-90.html#post9936687 On the other hand we have a potential turbo kit coming out for the 2gr fse (2IS350 3IS350 RC350 GS350) Picture is from the Lexus IS Freaks facebook page by Mathew Wilson of OV Tuning

Yeah, F Sport came with only 1 option which was to have the sunroof or not. Previous owner didn't want it in his I guess. Bump, Price drop shoot me a reasonable offer and I'll consider it.

Bump, a few things have sold.

I've currently got 1 unit but I can get more in, just let me know via pm and I'll hook you guys up. It's around $100 a unit + postage (based in Sydney). If you're local I can install for you as well. -

Here's an alternative to the sunglasses compartment if you don't use your front cigarette jack. It's a complete OEM Lexus replacement -
I'm selling my IS350 F Sport haha. USRS will stay on the car for now until the car sells (because I really can't be bothered taking them off right now). But, if they do come off they will be going to someone else as he's asked me for a long time.

Hey guys, please help me so I can buy my old car back and start on a project =D This is my MY13 IS350 F Sport (No sunroof) up for sale. Car has been modded but parts have been professionally installed and removed... Car is bone stock now bar some USRS bushings which haven't been taken off the car yet. My plan is to take them off but they can be included in sale if price is right. I'm open to all reasonable offers so don't hesitate to shoot me a PM or text me on Zero Four Zero One Eight Two Four Six Seven Five Thanks guys https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Lexus-IS350-2012/SSE-AD-4697882/?Cr=20

I remember I ended up doing the same thing and snapped one of my ignition plugs while pulling it out (they're quite fragile). I just shoved it back in and it ran fine until I decided to just change my engine for peace of mind. Never had any trouble taking my throttle body apart during the process though... except those allen keys...

I used to get almost 750km a tank (66L) in my IS250 and I know the CT has around 45L... with real world consumption of around 6-7L/100... CT really saves the fuel costs around city driving but I know Hybrids generally don't save us much on the highway. With the 7k you save on the 250 you can put toward I guess maintaining the vehicle and putting toward extra fuel tank costs... The CT is a newer car and has better fuel consumption but the IS250 is known to be reliable, bigger, and fuel savings aren't as big considering the 7k difference. Though being older there are a few things I would check on the IS250. Service history, has the transmission oil been changed? Many 250s have carbon build up and chew through engine oil. But having driven both... the V6 in the 250 is mighty smooth. A lot more smoother than the 4cyl in the CT, is more comfortable, and has more power (to get you up hills and across lanes and such). What trim option is the CT? I'd also imagine maintenance on the CT is cheaper than the 250 and hybrid batteries have at least 10 years of warranty...
