Thanks 🙂 Would be great to see 300-320whp (stock water intercooler is too small for better results) and 450Nm (torque should be limited to 450Nm as this is safe value for AT) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_clio172 404 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 300-320 at the wheels would feel pretty fruity. I look forward to updates and videos! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How much did the exhaust set up back ? (not even sure if it's compatible with the 300h - I have changed the rear diffuser to a IS250 one and custom exhaust tips but want to get exhaust later the year) and what is the front centre console leather trim ? If it's the arm rest that's already leather ?? Thanks!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 300h isn’t so bad, fuel economy is much better in your car 🙂 Invidia Q300h is compatible with 200t/250/350 but I’ve seen some garage offering custom steinless steel exhaust built for about £500 (my Invidia rear mufflers were £620 including tax and fees, Invidia midpipe is £590). Center console leather trim you can see below (these pieces were plastic in my car): Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For a bit sound improvement you can go for custom rear mufflers, you could choose the loudness and other sound parameters. I’ve got these leather pieces on EBay for £70 including shipping and tax (from USA), they were described as “Lexus IS250 2014 front center console leather trim”. There were two different types: with white or red threads (red probably for f-sport trim or just for red interior) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prob these ones were offered for F-Sport spec only (but not sure) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
