  1. 1. Sports Luxury

    2. Prestige

    3. Sports

    You are correct.

    Easiest way to identify the Sports Luxury is the front emblem - bkc9.jpg

    It's the Lexus symbol incased in black plastic as it holds the precollision radar underneath it vs just the logo sticking out.

    There's the button with the car radar under the call buttons which is for the radar cruise (picture is of an ISF)

    Illuminated door sills

    + woodgrain trim

    Sports - easiest giveaway is the Alacantara Suede seats and sports pedals

    Prestige - easiest sign is no parking sensors, no HID headlight washers, doesn't have the electronic steering wheel which retracts/extends when you turn off/turn on the car.

  2. You dont need to access the secret diag menu for that. Do the other hack ( volume menu-> top left, bottom left x 2) and you can use nav whilst driving.

    Although I think if you updated the dvd version, it gets rid of it, but you can make a hybrid disc but thats another story.

    This only works for 05-06 models I think. Newer models can't do this - you'll need a bypass switch.

  3. Sorry, you were right. The 18" rear was 35 profile sorry, edited initial post.

    Stock size is: 225/45/17 and 245/45/17

    New size is: 225/40/18 and 245/35/18

    It appears that QLD allows a max of 15mm dia difference from original spec.

    For your front it's 2.9 which is ok, but rears come out to be -23.6 - I'm not sure this is legal...

    Are you sure the spec is 245/35 for rear and not 255/35 or 245/40 ?

    Oh wait, it's 255/35/18 for the new rears. Keep getting the sizes mixed up - would it be within the limits now?

  4. Anyone interested in a brand new set of 2014 F-Sport wheels?

    They were taken off on day of delivery - brand new OEM tyres left on. Bridgestone ER33, front size: 225/40/18, rear size: 255/35/18 - check how much the tyres cost alone.

    Price is $3000 negotiable, located in Brisbane.

    Here's some pictures:

    Send me a PM if interested :)

  5. Hi guys,

    I have stock 17" tyres which are a staggered configuration of: 225/45/17 and 245/45/17. I want to put on some 18" wheels from the new generation IS and the tyre size is: 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.

    I asked a tyre shop and they said "225/40/18 matches the height of a 225/45/17 so the tyre you have for the front (225/45/18) is too tall. Are you sure your current rear tyres are a 255/45/17? I would have guessed 255/40/17, in which case a 255/35/18 is ideal."

    A few shops have said that the tyre size on the stock 17" wheels is a bit strange...

  6. I ask for the replaced parts back when doing a service to know that it's been done - they don't have a problem with it. The 75k service requires the removal of the rear seats to access the fuel filter, I'd probably feel a bit better taking it to Lexus for that one as they know exactly what they're doing when they service 250's everyday but not sure how hard it would be for an independent?
