  1. Ok the time has come to buy some new rims and tires and I am having trouble selecting a tire size for the rims I have picked out. I want to run Advan RS-D Wheel 18x7.5 / 5 x 114.3 / Offset +48 in front and then Advan RS-D Wheel 18x8.5 / 5 x 114.3 / Offset +51 in the rear. I have a Tein Basic coilover setup with a 1.5 inch drop all around. I would like to purchase Toyo Proxes R1R tires but Im not sure what size to get. Any help would be great. Thanks!
  2. So today I had a warning light come on on my dash it looks like an oval with a flat side and some lines going towards the flat side with arrows pointing up and down like on this page: GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS Figure (N) in the service manual It says to take my car to a Lexus dealer. Does anyone know what this light means exactly? I am a servicemember currently stationed overseas and cant exactly just take the car to a Lexus dealer, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot!
  3. I would say 10k. Are you just getting bulbs or a whole hid conversion kit? Halos?
  4. Enkei EKM3 18x 7.5 38mm General Exclaim UHP 215/40-18 Stock suspension
  5. honestlyman i totally forgot that youwent through the same situation. I was actually reading through it today and felt kinda dumb... my bad guys for wasting space. :P
  6. I wanna get an in dash video, nav, cd, and ipod unit for my pride and joy. I am having alot of trouble finding one that will fit the IS dash setup... does anyone have one in there car, and if so what type and any good advice? Thanks alot for helping me make this car even better.
  7. I am having a lot of trouble finding those rings. I found them for BMW and some other makes but not for the IS. Any extra direction?
  8. Awesome... so these rings should make it so that the bar will fit? I would hate for it to not ever work
  9. I love the afterburners... I have the black models with the prizma lip and they look amazing on the car. The Snetterton wheel is a good choice also...
  10. Where can i pick up some "upper strutmount reinforcement rings"? My bar didnt come with any so i am a little lost...
  11. I recently purchased a Greddy strut tower bar for my IS and when i put it on the bar was actually contacting the intake manifold. I tried just loosening the nuts on the strut bolts but any more and they will just come off. I even bought some rubber spacers to see if i could create a little room and it helped a little but when going over bumps it happens again. If i leave it in contact i get a horrible vibration noise, and feeling in the peddles and steering wheel. The part is made for the car, i didnt get the wrong one so i am totally confused as to what i need to do. Has anyone put one of these on and if so give me some pointers on how to fix this? Thanks
  12. I personally have the Hawk HPS pads on my 04 IS and love them. Very little brake dust and great stopping power especially with my slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines. A little more brake noise but not a squeaking...but hey i like to hear my car talk to me :D. But the EBC pads are pretty nice as well, the only thing seperating them at the time of purchase was the price.
  13. Looking for a good place to get my hands on a jdm altezza grill, among other jdm goodies. Does anyone know where i can locate items such as this?
  14. Ill have to try that. I dont know if they are going to file a report though unless its $1500 dollars worth of damage or more. But ill try...
  15. So i walk out to the car the other day and what do i find... someone has keyed the entire left side in a wonderful swirl pattern. FANTASTIC!!!!!! Anyone know where I can get some good touch up paint?
  16. No they are Rotora and i got them with Hawk HPS pads. My order got messed up and the brake lines didnt come in but they should be in by friday this week.
  17. Just got done installing new rotors, brake pads, and painting calipers. Hope everyone likes!!!!
  18. cool thanks... i just heard about them also from my "inside man" at the lexus dealership. Ill definetely go check them out.
  19. anyone in the northern virginia, dc area that can help me locate a good autosports shop or tuning shop that has some experience with the IS? i cant find anything at all and was wondering if anyone else had any experience in this area as i have just recently moved here...thanks!
  20. i dont know... i agree with smooth... its now two weeks since i ordered a key battery. Two weeks? Really?
  21. good to know... figured id ask. if it sounds to good to be true i guess it usually is huh? thanx guys...
  22. Anyone here had any experience with Lextasy parts, specifically brake rotors, lines? Any horror stories or is it best to stay away al together? heres an example of a product from their website... http://www.lextasy.com/is300_cross_drilled...s_1451_prd1.htm Thanks for imput...
  23. So i get in the car the other day to head to wprk and see my maintenance light flashing (maint reqd) on the dash. After awhile it goes away and since i didnt have time to check anything right then, i drive to work. Car runs fine, no noises or anything out of the ordinary. It does the same thing when i leave at the end of the day. Then no light for three days. Now it just started doing it again, three days after the light originally came on. Do i need to get the code checked for the light, or is it caused by something i can fix? Oil change 560 miles ago and all fluids and "necessities" in order. Any ideas?
  24. I get about 20 on the highway if im "being good" lol... usually i can get about 18 on highway, maybe a little more but thats in DC traffic everyday so... anyways my IS has 85000 miles on it and it still runs perfectly. Rhoutine oil change and fluid replacement is all i have had to do... Go for it you wont regret the decision!!
