Hi all,
The sub in my ‘08 IS-F feels like it’s given up. I’m hoping to find an easy upgrade - just a single 10” or 12” would be fine. I’m also happy to sacrifice a bit of boot space so it’s not a fancy install I’m after. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Better still, would anyone be will to take a few hundred quid to actually do it for me?
Thanks,
Owen

Any ideas on where to get an altezza engine from?

Or turn off the traction control, drop the clutch and see if both wheels make a mark !!!

I have an open diff and I leave 2 marks when i dump the clutch...

Hi,
I personally don't have an IS but a few friends do, although i like the gearbox i'm not at all impressed with the steering feel or the spongy ride not to mention a gutless engine.
I apologise for slating your pride and joy, feel free to throw abuse at my BMW :)
Anyway i do have a few questions, how much would an Altezza engine conversion be? Are there any other Lexus engines that'll go in with relative ease?
Not knowing anything about the, err, Toyota engine I don't know how tunable (sp?)
they are, I do know that an S/C or turbo is well out of his budget so I thought maybe dropping the Altezza 210bhp lump in would give the most bang for your buck.
I'd really appreciate hearing your views on this, i know sweet f.a about the 'modding scene' with Lexus.
Cheers
Owen
