I like the idea. I did similar on a golf hatch years ago but changed both for slightly higher rated.
Might look into this idea later by using 2 with not as high a force as the one in the video.

I was in the same boat about 4 years ago. Ended up with an MY2012 (dec 2011) IS 350 F sport.
Great car and I have had a few great cars 🤑
Only issue I found (and it appears to be a non issue) is the injector pumps are noisy on this engine series.
You learn to not hear it 😉
Front end tyre toe wear can be seen on some but is an easy fix either/and adjusting to '0'toe and replacing front lower rear bushes with those from a higher spec car.
Also after scraping a couple of rims on the kerb I upsized all the tyres one size 235 front and 265 rear now.. Just a couple of mm makes all the difference esp on front.
No downside to driving I've found. The F sport suspension is a good compromise for handling and driveability.
Good luck in your search... 👍

What a great 1st drive 🙂

If dvd we have a later version linked on this site.
We now believe it is V22 not v25

Bob Jane should be fine.
Firstly check tyre pressures and any inner or outer edge wear.
May need to swap front wheels across if one worn due to bias from turns etc.

Come on Danny.... 2019 😁

Might be less so that the standard IS350 ones ??

Just stick to 95.

Lexus says you can 🙂
It isnt as efficient as 91 but is cheaper.
If your going to use it I would alternate with normal fuel for peace of mind.
In the end its your call.

I fed my dash cams power thru to the cig lighter in console .

Didnt come out too bad. Been on since Xmas 2020.
Still holding up.
Ive got a bit more of the vinyl (ebay) so will have a 2nd try next summer to see if I can remove the few tiny bubbles I missed.

Hi have the same problem on the is250. Exhaust smell in the car. Did remove the 2 cats after the 2 sensors. Now it is worse. Can't drive with the windows open
Neels post above mine tried the secondary cat removal with no success ?

I added a link a year ago somewhere re the flaps. :). USA forum is where I found it.
As per my earlier post mine used to smell a bit. Nearly reduced recently it to zero with a can of Oxicat. Didn't think it would help but it did 🙂
Saw that too on the USA Lexus site with owners having success with it.
Must of been some crud on sensor and cat inlet side?

Can you record on your phone or let passenger do it?

Thats STEEP! and worrying.
Let us know if the fault reappears.

Depends on how worn. You can prob go to about 3 to 5% difference on a non lsd axle.

No V25 option from Lexus
-
I assumed your orig question was with using oem parts 😞

My IS350 sound exactly the same.
On the US forum some people have modded a sound proof cover off LSV8s to fit. Apparently only makes a small difference but noticeable.

I came from an Mercedes SLK230 sport, Golf R32, Audi S3 to an 2011 IS350 F sport.
Had it for about 4 years so far and not got inclined to part with it yet 🙂
Enjoy the ride
