  1. Yes, the engine is the same as IS250 also the brakes. Perhaps it has to do with octan? Whe run our cars on 95 and in the us 89 to 91? But winning 2 seconds 0-60?
  2. Hi, I have an IS250 US import, I bought it from a dealer in my country, the car feels completely new and has, what it says 26000km on it. The thing is, it feels really quick, quicker than the is250s i've tested. 0-100 in about 6 seconds with two people or more in it. Also when testing, a big pull comes after like 50km/h. Like some turbo kicks in. Really strange. It does 0-200 meters in about 8 seconds. Recently when I kicked the pedal it went from almost standstill to 80km/h not sure but around 4 seconds. See a few clips here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHzOwOj0Hzo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO8ZSg5aGec Some more clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS2okus5-14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOrgh8rcS8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmr2uFr5wg0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMNLQ7n5NcY So, could any experienced engineer here explain to me why this is? I've read that there are almost no turbos or supercharges on the market for IS250. And if such very expensive what i've heard. Perhaps something is wrong with the instruments. I will test this with another car. Its great to have that boost but scared that the engine will blow. I'm not good at engines at all so it's no way I could tell, after talking on other forums and comparing engines we're sure its an 250 engine, but could the turbo been hidden away somewere? Thank you!
  3. Still not sure about these km. Any other answers? How does the odometer look when miles are used?
  4. Hi, this sounds good. I have the 2009 IS250, what do you mean when you say it supports A2DP? I cannot get any sound out from my iphone directly to the car, have not tried the HTC desire yet. You must mean the 2010 version of IS? How is the sound on that Bluetooth device? Many of these have very bad sound quality. thanks
  5. Hi, When I bought my IS I only got one key, the was crashed in the US, perhaps thats why it only has one key. I do not know, its what I guess. Anyway, i've asked Lexus Sweden if there is any possibility that I can get a spare key from the US and they said you absolutely cannot. Well, my first thought was, how can this be? They have been pretty unsure about other things so this do not surprise me. Now, my question is simple, can I get a US key somehow and let Lexus(or toyota) to program the key? Thank you, this is a great forum.
  6. Thank you! So you mean, if the upper display i re-programed to display l/km the lower(odometer) also has automatically been changed to km? I mean vice versa. Then, the 0.4km is correct for the 400 meters i drove. If this is correct i'm a very happy man :)
  7. Hi, My first post here! I have a IS from US and som trouble with the odometer. I cannot tell if its miles or km.. I do have L/km in the upper display? I tested a 400 meter with the trip meter and got 0.4 directly after the exit. So, does this mean its actually counting km? The sales man said it has 25000km on its wheels, but if this is miles the car is much more used than he said. Aprox 40000km... Please help.
