its got a smooth steel pipe instead of the OEM plastic one to help increase and smooth out airflow, is got a K&N like drop in filter, and it comes with a new lower airbox with two openings instead of one to further let more air through. they claim around 6HP increase, but the sound it makes is just amazing! try a search for f-sport IS250 on youtube - should give you an idea.

Is250 Grill

du kunne jo bare spurt meg over MSN....ahahah but anyways, for norway: Sport: sits about 0.8 cm lower in the front, and is supposed to be a little stiffer. ( I cant feel the difference - my dad has a sport, and I a Luxury) Comes with the 18' wheels, instead of the 17' on the luxury Has alum. pedals as standard. Plastic/alum look interior pieces. Luxury: wooden interior pieces. +Power rear window sun shade. +illumnated scuff plates / door sills. the rest is the same. ¨ I would never get the non-navi one and try install the OEM unit later I believe the whole dash config is different, and would require huge modification.. Lars.

Theres a clip on youtube that shows the procedure for hacking the navi on the US IS350. it goes like,PRESS: MENU - VOLUME - UPPER LEFT - LOWER LEFT CORNER X 4. this enables the possibillity to use the navi and phone commands while moving. anyone know if theres another similar "cheat code" for the Euro Spec IS250?` dont feel like opening the consol and tamper with wires and shisel. thanks, Lars.

whereabout are you in norway? up here in trondheim we have a couple of rx400h's rolling around as taxi's - but never seen a IS.

grills are just a matter of taste - as far as mine - its changed at least 3 times in the last 1,5 years... heres my latest set-up:

Upgrading To A 300 From My 200 This Spring..
Oakley IS replied to Oakley IS's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
yeah I know the US 300 is available in MT, but my 200 is a MT, and I want a AT now. I really wanted to know if the US spec and Euro 300 is different performance vise - AT vs AT? I also know about the fog mod for the Euro Spec's, but im getting a US spec which already has the inner lights as brake lights...just wondering about the regulations in Europe for this. thanks again. -
hey fellas, i've decided to wait with the 2nd gen IS a couple more years, and rather do the 200-300 upgrade this spring. Ive got a couple of Q's lined up; performance: I've seen alot of different performace specs around - I know the MT is faster, but I've also seen differences among the AT tested. Is there a difference between the US spec 300 and the EURO spec 300 performace vise? I've also heard that the 300's handling isnt as great as the 200's - due to the heavier engine resulting in a bad understeer. Any truth to this? Legal issues - I know the US spec 300's has a different front and rear lighting set-up, as with the rear fogs beeing brakelights, the yellow front fogs. Is this going to be a problem when importing? I guess there might be different rules and regulations in different countries, but please share your predictions! Thanks alot fellas. L.

ok thanks, im not sure how many miles the SC has been in use, but anyways 60,000km is nothing for these cars...it should be like 37500 US miles - I dont know if UK miles are the same? my 99 has just passed 125,000km, and I it just sounds like a really good deal and I need some more power of course....:)
-
hey fellas, Im going to swap my 99MT IS for a 01AT w the TTE SC kit installed. It has 60,000km on the odo. What should I look/listen for when checking out the car? anything special to pay attention to on the SC? Thanks! Lars.

why not use foglights when not foggy - the parklight / foglights on is the coolest combo for sure, it makes the car look more agressive if u ask me. heres mine:

Difference Between Euro Is300 And Us Is300?
Oakley IS replied to Oakley IS's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
what about rear light configuration? I see the US spec has the inner taillights as brake lights aswell. -
regarding the engine "noise" - were both cars equiped with the same tranny? (manual or auto?) My manual is alot "louder" than my dads auto for some reason.....anyone else experienced this? what is the reason for this?

Hi it seems that most IS200's do it,especially on low revs,give it some more revs for a smoother blast-off B) I've found this "juddering" to be quite annoying when in stop-and-go traffic downtown. An easy remedy is to activate the SNOW function which smooths the throttle real nice.

Hi, Im looking for the part number for the alum/steel pedals found on the sport version. Manual tranny. I cant find it in the service manual or anything. thanks alot. L.
