Twinssss. I used exoracings kit. They're top notch guys over in Exeter. 

It's been awhile but did you ever get any pics of the wheel setup? Very curious aha

Anyone got any more info or personal experiences of this? I've been pondering with the idea of fitting on for a while and can only seem to get mixed opinions from people who haven't tried it themselves 

I have experience from my friend and his mostly standard Nissan S14a. They're known for breaking rocker arms if they hit a certain RPM. My friend isn't a huge idiot so he had it setup good... He just had a heavy foot lol... As a result he broke 3 rocker arms and had to spend around £650 in cash to get that sorted as well as to fit some rocker stoppers. (and fit a boost controller) motto of the story, I don't think they're good for you or your car 🙂

To my knowledge the GXE10 is essentially an IS200 but with a beams 1GFE which apparently makes 5bhp more than the standard lexus engine. (don't hold me to that) 

SXE10 is the RS200 Beams 4 cylinder. 207bhp (MT) from the factory. The engine is known as the grey top/black top. If its manual it has a higher RPM redline (8000/8200) as well as other goodies like titanium valves etc. On the contrary the automatic RS200 makes I think 197bhp and has a lower redline. 

All in all the car to go for is a manual RS200. 

I hope this helps 🙂

Don't bother with the Grom thingy. There are android units it's which wipe the floor with it nowadays and purposely for the is250. Teyes unit for one. I'll be getting it in the next couple months. 

I'd love to get a thorough write up/review of one of these Chinese units. I'd rather go the route that works best aha

Not sure you can legally advertise after that....

I saw this also. The same 2 people swapped the ownership about too. All red flags in ways but they do have some expensive cars on their lot too so it makes me think they're some what legit

On Google it says the garage is, "Permanently Closed"? Odd.

Variable reviews for the garage itself.

I did read these. It does make me wonder the genuineness of the car but its not too far a drive from me so I think it's worth a look. If I do end up viewing it soon I'll be sure to update everyone

Hi there, first time poster here! As the title says im looking for anything and everything Informational about this car. 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-Lexus-IS-250-Sport-4dr-SALOON-Petrol-Manual-/363580059458?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Reg: GP07GUE

I'm planning on viewing it soon. 

I reckon based on the mot history and when it last had a v5c etc. that it's been standing undriven for quite some time. 

Side note if anyone is trying to sell their manual navigation Is250s around this price, please feel free to send pictures in here. 

Cheers, 

Francis

Yes mate I did end up making a page, it’s not been updated in a while but I’ve got a lot of things to update it with but just have had a crazy few months! Expect some updates in the next 2 weeks 

 

That's great cheers! I'm hoping to be purchasing an IS250 soon so I've been researching anything and everything I can aha. Very interested in getting a GROM VLine LEX5 for the car. I've just gone through your thread and read through everything. You mentioned about the unit not having full functionality with the facelift aisin model stereos? Can you elaborate on this a bit so I fully understand?! The car I'm hoping to get isn't a facelift, does that mean it'll work just as well or even better? The car is also a manual. I don't know if that interferes with the reverse camera issue that was present at some point aha

Old but active thread. Can anyone here confirm if these lights have reflectors in? I want to get the reflector LEDs to go with the Vlands but surely if the taillights don't have a reflective element in both it'll fail it's MOT?

End up making a page? 🙂
