HY!

many years ago, i see the panasonic radio in a test in a car&hifi magazin and i was MP3, front/rear(sub out and Line In, Touchscreen with 1 million colors, very good sound and many more, but the new price was 800 euros!

The new price was 800 Euros! :( i found the radio on eBay.de for 460 euros from a car-hifi-shop and bought this radio. 2-3 years, i have the radio with the normal single-DIN- adapter in my IS. But the look was not lexus-like. i become a defect original radio and installed the panasonic dispay in the original frontmask. i search the contacts off the buttons on the print and the conducting paths for the led´s to combinate to a group and set the brigthness to original with resistors. The buttons connectet i to a original panasonic remote control and installed the IR-LED to the IR-receiver beside the panel. its read very easy, but its a hell to find all connections and hubs on the prints and connect correct for the funktions.

here pics from the conversion:

the first test:

i need more paint-session to have the correct surface. Its RAL 9005 matt, this color is perfect for frames, gauge pods....

the time, that i needed to finish complete this radio with all problems in the constructions-time, maybe 50-100 hours, or more

Hello!

Its a very bad job to do this :duh:

but its look original in the IS B)

on the afternoon, i take pictures if the construction from my radio online with a discription of the work.

HY!

I rebuilt my IS to a standard IS and sell the Turbokit with the exhaust system, all Pipes and the FCD, Apexi SAFC II and the Blitz SSBC.

my failure was, i driven a GS430 S16 :D the car is great, from the first moment, i was in the car, i was happy no other car from Lexus can this :D have considered a while to change the IS turbo to a GS V8. i think, its the right choice.

Next week, i take the last photos and after this, the rebuilt beginns!

Looks great mate, but i dont understand what you did with the inlet manifold. could you explain a bit more.

Stav

hy Stav,

some posts above i wrote the work

...the weekend, i opened my second Inlet manifold, and i see small pipes from the volume under the throttle body to the inlet-flange and the volume before. i think, it is not bigger than 5cm x 2,5cm very small for 3 cylinder!

i modify the manifold to have 5cm x5cm or more

original have the IS a smalle pipe from the throttle-body inlet to the head inlet (i hope this the correct words) for 3 cylinders a small pipe with max 5x2,5cm! after the mod, the intake manifold is a comparable with a supra TT intake manifold. this have the thottle body, a big volume und 6 seperate pipes to each cylinder.

her a picture from a Supra intake:

the engine spools faster up with the turbo, before this mod, the boost was on the gauge and a little bit later comes the acceleration, with the mode, the boost comes ande the engine accelerate in the same time

i hope you understand a little bit of my discription of the mod *g*

have to ask about the gauges mod i take it thats custom ?? if so how hard was it how long did it take

excellent car love the mod with the factory radio

Thanks! i need 2 weeks, every day at night to make the gauge-pod. i have the old gauge pod for sell, but you need a good painter and the original dash box for a good look.

The gauge-pod was self made. I changed this pod to a original pod and installed a Zeitronix System. The Radio new painted and the brightness is passed from the buttons to the original light in the IS. her new pics.

the Apexi SAFC II and the SSBC was installed in the cup Holder B)

5 weeks ago..i installed the EBV Premium Discs and Green Stuff Pads on the front axle

2 weeks ago, i deinstalled my music system (26kg) and i will change the high of the spring cups on the koni damper and i see on the right rear side, a broken H&R spring! :o one week later were a a set of new h&R springs installed.

anti-theft device

new springs :)

the car drives better as afore, with new springs and lower weight on the rear axle, a new feeling on the road B)

yes, the pistons and rods are original. Only the intake manifold is modified, 250ccm Injectors with original petrol system (3,5bar pressure) in the spring, i test again with maybe 0,65bar. i will test with the new intercooler and other things. i think 240-245hp are possible.

Hy!

Last Friday, i was with my IS on the Dyno

227hp on the flywheel and 288Nm is a good run with 0,5bar and original engine.

Next steps: new clutch, new tyres, bigger intercooler, modified downpipe with new katalysator, maybe a new boost controller B)

i modify the manifold to have 5cm x5cm or more and close after this and build in with my new Injectors (213ccm)

i think, this is a problem for low agility and slow response characteristic of the engine. I drive a round with the IS300 from RoadRash and the engine are very fast rev up. (i hope you understand this what i mean). The inlet manifold are bigger and the pipes to each cylinder are bigger.

first pic after little modify to see more

Great car!

Tell the guys about your radio-modification!

Boergy has installed an aftermarket-radio behind the original console :)

I think it was a Panasonic?

yes, a Pansonic Radio with Touchscreen. but i do this never again :duh: in the winter, i chance the resistors for the LED lights, currently are the lights too dark.

:duh: the major funktion operate with the original buttons (switch track, switch album, volume, menu, source...)

i love original look :D

Tom

Thanks Mates! :)

Maybe you might want to join a few of us @ the Ring around Easter time

great idea! is this on the nürnburgring in germany?

Looks great mate, lovely job you've done and the airfilters a great idea.

thanks :) but it is not easy to seal the box, because of the boost. The position of the apexi filter is from RoadRash :winky:

Well done mate, looks very nice, you have biggrin.gif put a lot of work into it

i started the project last year in august and it is still not finished next steps are other injectors(lying on my table already), modify the pipes and mount the Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit. Maybe the original Toyota side skirts in the spring.

are the videos working? :)

greets

Boergsn

Seen this in the flesh.........very nice.......the normal air filter is there to make it "look" normal for a cursory glance from a policeman (TUV)

yes :D i love the original touch ;) in Austria, you have no chance to drive legal, you need for each part documents from TUV, or you pay over 3000 € for the first test :duh: is to much money.

i hope there are not to much pics sorry for my english :)
