ADVANCE

Can anyone look up or have the part number to your stock front bumper? Thanks in advance

hey Mat, did they rebend this bar or does it come bent like that?

i just found this picture of the tte v8 is430. Anyone now where i can get this strut bar? im wondering if it was custom made to clear the 430 engine?

Question for you Mat. Y did u opt to go dual exhaust? i cant imagine the weight-to-hp ratio being better then with just a single. But u know a lot more, im just being curious george. ~advance

im sure i can find a place here in town with one. To figure out the Exhaust Gas Out put, is it simpily the RPM x. the displacement?

u need to get a hose and syphon the gas out into a container. If im correct, diesel doesnt not combust so its not good for your engine.

So i decided to build a custom exhaust. There are many ways i can go about it. I have the choice of going dual or single, and mandrel or crush bent. Ive chosen to go single since the added weight-to-hp ratio is a lot better then going dual (having the added weight of another muffler and piping just doesnt make sence). Ill also go mendral then crush (naturally) since i dont want any unnessesary restrictions in the pipe. the problem with some exhaust like the HKS hyper is that during low RPM im losing power because the back pressure is low causing my flow velocity to also be low. I would like to get to a happy medium of no loss in low end torque and a gain on the high end. Okay here comes the tricky part. Hopefully some of u can help. I want to find a happy medium between the back pressure and flow velocity. Also find a good medium where for high RPM vs. Low RPM backpressure/flow velocity ratio. What is a good amount of backpressure and flow velocity?

whats up, im back after a long break from the Lexus. Ive decided to start modding the Lexus again. Still deciding what to do next. I see everyones IS's are lookin better then ever. Must say Mats monster is turning out pretty awesome. I cant see where he came up with pink checkers but whatever. lol. ~advance

hey, how much is this one? (no need to tell me about the GOLD discount)

The L sportline is a smiliar mold but the the original one. It is not made at the factory but is made by "L sportline" which is an after market Lexus tuner. Heres some different mesh grille options: Dealer options: -the UK Sports Grill (comes with "L' and "sports" bagde) -TRD Sports Grill (comes with "TRD sports" badge) (can buy in painted fake carbon fiber) - ALtezza Sports Grill (comes with Altezza" badge" - L-tuned Sports Grill (comes with "ltuned" badge" ALL THE GRILLS ABOVE ARE THE SAME MOLD AND SAME MESH but different BAGDES After Market Mesh Grills - Lextasy Mesh Grill (Real Carbon Fiber) - L sportline (smaller mesh, no emblem) (will not fit on IS200's!!!!!)(only US and Canadian models) - Rod Millen Grill (smaller mesh and not as strong, with "Rod Million Signature" badge - Visage Grill (smaller mesh no emblem)

i can get this grill for under 250 US dollars plus shipping but would take me about a month to get a hold on then to ship it to you. i might be able to get a hold on a used one as well. I must say, im not very impressed with this grille but people have different tastes i guess.

Welcome. check out IS300.net too. many canadians there too
