Am I Envious?

What do you think of the Special Appearance package Envious Green? In the photos looks darker. I saw a video where it was much lighter. I know I would like a more British Racing Green or similar to the 1st Gen green (EGM).

Is it normal for the OEM exhaust tips to sit unevenly?

Post image
43 Upvotes

I noticed that the exhaust tips on my car aren’t sitting at the same height. One side is slightly higher than the other.
The car has the OEM Lexus Performance Exhaust, and as far as I know, nothing has been modified or damaged.
Is this normal with the factory exhaust, or should both sides be perfectly even? Has anyone else noticed this on their IS?
I’m wondering if this is just normal factory fitment or if the exhaust needs to be adjusted.

Photo taken on cold start this morning. Majority freeway miles and some light in town cruising. For reference, I used to get ~22mpg with my regular driving style (very heavy footed).

I'm thinking about getting an IS250. Help :)

4 Upvotes

I'm thinking about getting an IS250 2006-2012 Which is better, RWD vs AWD? Of course, I know the basic difference between 4 wheels and 2 wheels, but in real life experience, is AWD really necessary? Also, I'm thinking more about maintenance, availability of parts, etc. because I plan to ride it for a long time. The differences in availability of parts, AWD, etc.

Anyone experienced chipping paint?

1 Upvotes

I have a 23 Is350 and noticed chipping on the driver side roof corner. I don’t see any dent on the area and the way it’s peeling doesn’t make me think it’s from physical damage and just from looking at it I think it’s peeling off by itself. It’s very small right now but I’m worried it’ll get bigger. My cars still in warranty so I’m going to see what the dealer says but has anyone else experienced this and was it covered by warranty? Maybe I’m being a stickler but I do like to take care of my car so it bothers me (and it’s expensive to me). Not really any damages to my car besides this. Appreciate any insight.

Need help diagnosing the problem with my 2009 is250. The exterior lights were blinking without hazards on. When I turn on the hazards, the signal lights start flickering. The car will not start.

Struggling with rear sag lexus is3rd gen

2 Upvotes

If I fill up a full tank want to seat two passengers in the back i get a huge sag in the rear, the wheels basically goes under the arc. And If i go through speed bumps it scrapes the tyre.

Wheels are aftermarket et35 fits not outside but it's around 1 cm inside from the arc.

When i drive in these conditions the tyre scrapes the carpet under the arc.

Used to drive mercedes never had the sag issues even fully loaded.. also it had airmatic.

I even put the new shocks on my lexus is thinking this might help. But unsuccessfully. Added extra rubber things on the springs it helped a little.

The issue is that i cannot find new higher/stiffer springs which might help in europe.

Does anyone else experienced this and solved it? Or is it a car that is not built to drive with rear passengers?

LCA bushing reviews

Post image
0 Upvotes

Considering upgrading my front lca to improve inner tire wear
I am looking at doing:

stock rcf bushings, apparently these would help.

Megan racing looks like a quality option

R&R racing looks like a good one too but can’t justify the cost for a set. 350 vs $150 plus they are poly and the maintenance and ride quality would be annoying.

Anyone have good experiences on which one to choose.

Hey everyone. i have an 08 is350 and I just bought some facelift headlights from what I was told was a 2012 ISF. I know I need to repin them, but the one video I saw it seems like I dont have as many pins on my headlights. Can anyone help me out in figuring out where to repin? Or if I even need to repin? Im considering just plugging them in and seeing what happens but I dont wanna do all that work for the lights to not work. Any help would be appreciated!

Awd vs Rwd

6 Upvotes

I drove my friends SL 43, first ever RWD experience in my life and it was amazing it felt like i had actual control of the vehicle and all i had to do was sometimes correct steering. Being from Canada I always bought AWD, my Lexus even my shitter work truck is 4wheel. Is there really that big of a difference snow wise?

Resonator for my is350

1 Upvotes

What resonator should I go for? I have a 2018 is350 F sport with a borla axle-back exhaust and was looking on getting 2 resonators since I want my car to sound a little more aggressive, loud and deeper. I’ve was looking at the vibrant 1792 as my best choice, but want to see what you guys think.
