07'IS350

There is a product called Seafoam. IF you run it through the engine using the PCV system or sucking it through the vacume line that ataches to the master cylinder for the brakes it will elimnate the small. If it doesnt work the first time, do it a second and that will for sure get rid of the smell. I did it on my girlfriends 2004 Ford Explore when it was having the problem and after the first can the smell was 90% gone and after the second can it was gone and is still done after 20,000 miles. Just my suggestion.

The breaks were really easy to take apart and re-install. Just take your time and look them over. I considered the caliper paint, but in my opinion the brush on kind never looks as good as a good as quality powder coating. I considered painting them a different color, but it is my wifes car and wanted to keep the car very simple and clean looking.

I only use fully synthetic in my lexus. If you are going to ask for the highest quality oil you better buy it elsewhere and just have to dealer do the oil change. From my experience the dealer charges twice as much for the oil as you can buy it a local parts store. There are many options available but all the studies i have read show that royal purle and Redline oil are the best, also remember even though it is synthetic oil and it takes longer to break down its not a bad idea to change your oil early. Personally i change mine every 3,000 miles, i figure if i spent 45,000 on a car i might as well maintain it really well! What kind of oil do u use though? And also, is Eneos oil any good, which brand is best? I heard a lot of people using mobil 1 syn, and also do u know wat kind of oil the lexus dealership uses? I use redline oil in my lexus, i have no burning problems and it runs great. Redline oil does cost more per quart though. Some people might consider the oil i use and how often i change my oil it over kill but it does no damage and can only help the engine.

+1 to that. There is a slight chance that lexus would try and void your warranty because you have an intake or exhaust but it would not hold up. If you really want to avoid all conflict wait 5 months for lexus's new intake and buy there HKS exhaust.

I was at SEMA this year for the product introduction lexus was very hesitant to say the prices, I am sure they will be expensive but they come with a full warranty and wont void your factory warranty.

thx bartkat for the website, I'm gonna order sum parts, but does the HKS exhaust have any positive performance or is it more for the sound and looks? To be honest with any exhaust you add you arent going to feel any reel power gains. The place where power is made is by removing restrictions, the greatest restrictions in our exahust are the cats and headers. Dont get me wrong you will pick up some power but dont buy your exahust purley based on that, find one where you like the looks and sound and go for it.

Lexus hasn't released there performance parts for the IS yet, they are due out in march. for performance parts they are going to be offering a new intake, and an exhaust which looks identical to the HKS exhaust they offer now. They will also be offering a full line of suspension parts such as springs, struts, swaybars and chasis braces There are tons of options for intakes and exhausts. HKS makes two, the one offered by lexus and another, Borla and tanabe are a few a can think of off the top of my head. For intakes, K&N makes one, as well as fujita and Jon makes an intake pipe. If you search under google video there are hundreds of exhaust videos of the IS350. Try searching the forums for some good intakes and exhausts.

If you can wait 5 months, lexus performance division is coming out with an entire line of products for both the IS250 and IS350. Some of the upgrades include, sway bars, lowering springs, performance struts, chasis braces, two big brake uprgrades, cluthces and a short shifter. It all looks like quality parts! try searching Lexus F performance parts under google.

It came equiped on my car when I ordered it. The exhaust has a very deep tone that is best compared to a Nissan 350z or Infiniti G35, maybe a little deeper than those two. The exhaust it great quality, fits perfect and doesnt drone but has a nice deep tone. The exhaust doesnt affect emissions sense it is just mufflers and not cats.

I constantly get 21 MPG in the city and I have a very heavy right foot. I mean more than 3/4 throtle at every stop.

I think this is the interior color of my car.

Im signed up to drive one at 10:30 on november 1st!

I also really like the Lexus 19'' rims, but they are to expensive for what you get. Check out some good companies like I-forged, HRE, and you can also check www.tirerack.com and see what they offer! With TireRack you can also see what the wheel looks like on your car.

I cant speak from perosnal expierience on the IS, but a quality exhaust and intake always help with any cars performance. As far as suspension wise, there is a company who makes coilovers, and chassis stiffening components. That is all I can suggest. Borla, Tanabe and HKS are just a few of the exhaust companies. K&N and I think Fajita make an intake.
