Congratz mate!!! Whats the first mod your going to do to it

Thats great to hear mate.

Make sure you dont burn it onto a printable disk..... When i ejected the R18 to install R19, all of the white printable area on the disk was pretty much melted/scratched off....

I'm pretty sure ISF would use the same maps as IS, RX etc. I managed to find a copy on a gps forum, downloaded it and burnt it on the slowest speed possible

You can find them on gumtree/ebay (copy version's) - I've seen them for about $100 or $300 from Lexus for the real deal

The F-Sport Suspension are a direct replacement for your standard ones.

Coilovers allow you to adjust the ride hight and damper - Soft to Hard

Sounds good guys... hopefully i will be around when its held... long over due

Ouch!!! Cheaper to get a full set of coil overs

Im running BC coil overs in my car and love them.... When my parents come and visit, i wind them right up and then back down again when they leave...

Im away for the xmas holidays so wont be able to make the 21st

I live in the west side (sunshine) but happy to meet not too far away...

Im only around in Melb for 2 weeks before heading interstate for a couple of weeks

I had mine replaced by Lexus. Paid $180 for theirs and they fitted it for me, didnt lose any of my programming settings for the car.

It did die after 9 mths but replaced under warranty. They said mine was one of their fist ones they had die on them

Any pics of the items

I have my IS protected by opti-coat.... Always shiny especially black

Ah sweet...... Would be nice to see some IS's around...

I havent got any custom plates but Black IS250X lowered... thats if i make it there =D

Oh snap.... Im going to be at the snow on Sunday.... Might be back by then but the car will be a bit dirty.... booo

If the missus lets me, i might see if i can pop by with my IS.... Do you know which car park

You may need to plug the SD card into your PC and edit one of the config files.

I had a aftermarket GPS in my Mazda 3 and had to change the screen resolution in one of the config files to make it work properly.

When it stops raining and the sun is out.... car needs a good wash & detail.... =D

I couldn't be bothered dealing with yellow canaries..... Used to get pulled over all the time in my previous cars.... Now i go through RBT's or past the po po without them taking a second look as the car looks stock

I personally havent seen many modded IS's around in VIC....

I have only seen one other IS250 dumped but thats it....

Old thread but if there is one organised, ill be up for it...

Havent got many mods on my Lex (cbf dealing with defects)... Just lowered on coil overs and air intake....

Noo...... was too slow... =(

IS250 uses about 6.6L of oil =)

Just had my 60K service at City Lexus (with a CT200h loan car)... $630. Without without the loan car was the same price (out of warranty).

They did try to upsell me extended warranty for about $1800 which would also fix the start up rattling sound ($2K plus)... I gave it a miss as I maybe getting rid of mine soon

Hey mate,

I got mine from Amazon as well. this was when the Aussie dullar was around $1.08ish....

This is the one I got which is still around the $230 US so maybe around $240ish shipped?

Took me about 15-20 mins to install it....

How about the operation of the lights? Does it affect it at all?

If anything, you may need to remove the head light housing to fix it (i.e. remove the bumper bar etc).
