What can members tell me in regard this. Just noticed some in one of mine I tried a search but came up zero based on headlight bubbling, issues etc

Fitting would be oil more than likely....

Any clues for the rest of the members?

Well done with the effort. Id say no one will even notice the issues unless you point them out or they are inspecting it. I have been involved in getting commercial vehicles "vinyl wrapped" in the past. (Note: Not saying it is the same stuff but is subject to similar installation issues etc).There was always some issues. Air in concave areas, no matter how much it was pushed, eventually our heat made it try to take up its flat profile, dust under the film. Even when done in dust filtered paint booths there was always some. Stretch marks and bubbles that showed up when certain angles of the sun hit the vehicles.. Dulling of the surface, esp if colored....:( You're right re darker, mat colors, etc being more forgiving. Does work well to protect the original paint though esp from stone chips.

Im sure I read a post on the US Forum where they fitted after market lights. Might be worth a search. Dont know re cut off from left to right hand drive though.

This and other variables have always made me get a local tune. Tweaks to suit said engine can be made to the map in real time. Ive always been a little sceptical of plug in 'tuning'.

Might be others interested in your fix. Care to post up?

Lexus service said its normal. Prob closer to 600 than I stated. TB been done. By upper engine clean I assume you mean inlet valves? I dont think mine (350) has that issue. Not really too worried but like to see what I can achieve. When A/C on rises another 100 rpm and smooths out. I found heaps of posts on USA forums with same queries, no real fix., but no one mentioned resetting idle A/C off so that what I was going to try next.

I want to change my idle speed when AirCon Not on. ie up by 100rpm. I have the cable but I cant find a section where I can make an adjustment. Reason .. Idle is about 500 Aircon off. Give slightly rough idle. Lift to 600, smooth. Changed and checked plugs etc.so just a tweak needed. Search found similar ex: quote" If my A/C is off my idle is noticeably rougher than when it’s on." Seems to be a common issue but no one raised idle AC off.

If you dont get payment I will pick up :) Baz

Sometimes a small dab of moly grease on shims and pins helps.

There are a few (cheaper ... ahem) performance cars using that colour , or one very similar, Golf R32, Subaru, Focus .......

Good looking Lexus too. $100k in the USA. Wonder what the Aussie markup will be

48075-24010 / 48076-24010 Today I fitted a pair of these on the inner front lower control arms. Pretty straightforward to fit. Jack up a bit keeping wheels 'just'on the ground, place safety stands, Loosen 2 bolts, nut and secondary bracket. Lever arm to reduce tension and slide off. A a wipe of grease on shaft on install to stop corrosion. Tighten up TIGHT ;) Can be even easier to fit on a hoist at your next service. Should take about 15 mins. They are meant for the RC-F and GS-F https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/oem-lexus-rc-f-control-arm-bracket.html https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/oem-lexus-gs-f-control-arm-bracket.html https://www.thepartsspecialist.com/oem-parts/lexus-control-arm-bracket-4807624010 https://www.thepartsspecialist.com/oem-parts/lexus-control-arm-bracket-4807524010 Part No 9 They have a harder Duro and a bit more rubber fill than 2nd Gen IS_X brackets so locate the arm better when under dynamic loads. There are Poly ones available from Super Pro locally and FIGS etc in the USA but I wanted the quietness and no maintenance option. 1st driving opinions with just over 200k's today, both freeway and secondary bitumen roads. Car drives straighter with less constant wheel corrections needed on the freeway. Small movement of the steering wheel now transfers to movement at the road wheel. (less freeplay effect) Coming up to intersections under hard braking the tram-lining from wear indentations was negligible :) Overall the car tracks like it should of. I also have the inertia damper in the steering wheel that changed the feel but could not control the movement of poor resilient bushes. There does not appear to be any more noise and I think only a small perception of more road roughness feel at the steering wheel. Worth the $140 they cost landed.....sure thing Link showing soft 2nd Gen ISx bushes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpG32GK2mUY Link showing install of Pol but ones listed above the same procedure.

Also keep in mind the min legal height AND the ratio of original suspension travel plus bumpstop clearances. Dont know where you are but details will be on your local Vic roads, SA traffic, NSW etc etc web pages. A google search will give all the info. Be aware that lowering a car does not always help with handling and road-ability and sometimes what feels quicker is not.. but it may look nice :)

You 1st link is for a scammer. 2nd link looks similar to one where a member on here got dudded, (v22 renamed in the files)

Be patient, V23 will be available one day, If you have the SD card you're stuck, pity as new Nov 2017 maps etc available on one of my gps sites http://fixmygps.info/forum/showthread.php?tid=5498

Ive lightly scuffed my front left rim on a kerb Can anyone recommend a colour that works with the IS350 F sport rims? Thanks BAz

ACE exhaust in Heatherdale rd Ringwood make up complete systems. They do a rear muffler and tip replacement. Will get them to do that to mine in the new year. http://www.aceexhaust.com.au/ Bazzle
