Incredible build man! insane car! 😀

Hi fellas, hope everyone is well, and be most welcomed to this build thread. This is my first Lexus venture and also my first Japanese car, purchased with legit 41K miles on the clock, pretty decently taken care of interior. It seems like the car had a small front end cosmetic damage that was sort of "repaired" by the previous owner. (Head lights and front bumper). Being so the headlights went under some modifications by the previous owner (Stated that he wanted to do something different) so the inner mask or garnish or what ever the name is for that, has been binned. Don't know why, it looks stupid without it. but since everything inside is black it kinda stays blend in at a further distance. This project is meant to be a "Daily" that I can occasionally drift or track it. Kinda defies the purpose of being a "daily" but well here we are. I haven't done much to it just of yet. Car: Lexus IS250 SE (205bhp) from 2006 Beige & Black Interior Factory Tinted windows. Modifications so far: Suspension - Tein Street Advance Adjustable CoilOvers Wheels - Rotiform RSE 18x8.5 & 18x9 with Nankang NS20 225x35R18 & 235x40R18 Exhaust - Dual Stainless Steel CatBack Non Resonated Tail-Lights (Middle Boot Section) Updated to 2010 retaining the outers from 2006/07 Duckbill Boot Spoiler Team Heko Tintedw Wind Deflectors Future Wanted Modifications: 3UZ V8 Engine Swap Enkei RPF1's 18x9 & 18x10 Seibon Carbon IS-F Front wings IS-F SideSkirts Seibon Carbon Vented Bonnet Seibon Carbon boot 6 pot Front Brakes and Floating Rotors. 2 Pot Brembo Rear add on Hydro Calipers. I hope to update soon... and thank you for reading. Best Regards, Igor.

Awesome stuff, I'll message you there, so we don't flood your thread with non related stuff 😆

Hey buddy, you most welcomed, you can follow me at @notomoto.co and chat through there too if you'd like. I'm towards Stevenage / Biggleswade side. Best regards !

Man this car and build are a pure treat, I've read the entire thread, and very tasteful modifications to this. Would love to shoot (photograph) it at some point. Had no idea that the RCF centre console would fit the ISF, very interesting. Looking forward to see what else you keep upgrading on this beast.

Thank you Steve, I have been trying to find parts from a damaged IS-F but it has revealed it self extremely difficult. Would love to get front wings and sideskirts from the IS-F and bonnet. Think it would be a good mash-up. hehe.

Hello Folks, I hope you are all well! I'm Igor from Notomoto Co. It has been a fair while since I've been into forum's. Years! So here we go... I never been part of any Owners Club, however I'm giving it a go. Purchased my 1st ever Lexus (and Japanese car) at the end of 2022, Its a Black 2006 Lexus IS250 SE that had only 41.000 miles on the clock. I was extremely surprised that it was so low mileage, and so cheap from the get go. It has some weird headlight modification made by the previous owner where he removed the interior mask and left everything exposed, therefor they now leak. (He claimed he wanted to do something different 🙄) I now need to replace them with the IS-F or something similar or OEM. The car initially was running on Nankank's NSR Semi-Slicks. It's currently on Nankang NS2'. Wheels: 18x10 (255/35R18) & 18x8.5 Rotiform RSE's (225/40R18) Suspension: Tein Street Advance Adjustable Coilover's. (It does change A LOT from stock drivability improves it considerably whilst being comfortable) Performance: Stainless Steel Dual Exhaust Non Resonated. Cosmetic: Rear middle tail lights facelift to 2010, front bumper lip spoiler, roof small spoiler, boot spoiler, Window Rain Guards. There are quite a few things I still want to do and improve, we will see how that goes. Well hope to eventually get acquainted we you all if there is a meet or gatherings, and to learn more about Lexus in general. My best regards, Igor.
