Is 300 Sport X Badging

[Kent]

My IS 300 Sport X Lexus came debadged at the rear and I thought this looked a bit bare so I have put the LEXUS wording in the middle as you can see. I rather fancy a V6 badge and I have shown very roughly what I have in mind in the pic below. Does anybody have any ideas/thoughts on this and where might I buy a V6 emblem to match the LEXUS lettering (or close).

Don't do it

Thought the 2JZ was an I6 engine anyway?

I think that looks good mate as you have it there, certainly unique :)

Sometimes less is more!

If you do want to do it though, may be worth getting in touch with Dan (Scorcher) as he has lots of emblems....

[Mr Morse]

The "Lexus" badge looks OK in the middle but personally I'd leave it debadged anyway - the "stealth" approach.

DO NOT put a V6 badge on it when it's a straight-six....you'll look like you don't know what's inside your bonnet!

I don't! I thought that V6 referred to the number of cylinders so therefore at 4 valves per cylinder it becomes a 16 valve or V16 although I have never seen it referred to in this way. Technically I'm way out of my depth of course, all i was really looking at was the aesthetics. I do take on board the (always constructive)comments from everybody and I am starting to have second thoughts already.

The 2JZ-GE is an inline (straight) six cylinder with 4 valves per pot, so if you want a "how many valves" badge you would get a 24V badge. Still naff IMHO

You're probably right but I'm not a lover of mechanical "hoodies", if you've got it then at least admit it. Whilst LOC is made up of intelligent, well spoken people once you step out into the real world then it is full of the less well informed who have no idea what a Lexus is. At least by badging it modestly you are helping to educate the wider public :D

So Jacko has been lying then..................

V6 Engine configuration.....

[EZZ]

Hope you don't mind the stupid question whats the difference between V6 and Staight 6?

love to know.....

[Bobski]

As you can see a V configuration has the 6 cylinders split apart in a "V" formation.

ie - The cylinders are arranged in two banks set at an angle to one another

A straight 6 has all the cylinders in a line.

[EZZ]

cool, any difference in performance or are they just as good?

[Mr Morse]

An in-line configuration will always return a smoother engine as a result of this configuration. Manufacturers use the V configuration to put a bigger engine into a smaller space.

In the case of Lexus, the LS430 V8 430 engine can (with a little difficulty), be mounted into the IS
