Any IS250 owners or club around?

[lckia]

a fren just bought a is250 jap spec.. any prob with RON95? tq

not sure bout jap sepc. Local test drive unit using RON95. Jap spec tuning is higher than local and UK, guess RON97 might be the choice for jap spec.

 

[mechfreak]

just wondering any jap spec is250 owner here using RON95 without any probs?

Hi all

I am a newbie here. Owned one 7 months back but only realised there is such good forum on IS in Malaysia.

In fact, learned couple of tricks on the car like the one Dhanidad advised on the special hidden button for trunk opening. Imagine myself using the key each time for 7 months...stupid me.

Basically, bought mine at Naza, navy blue Japan specs that comes with standard 18 inches 225/40 and 255/40.

What can i say, i love this car....makes me look forward to drive out from home every start of my day.

By any chance anyone from JB ? I am from KL, but am working here for couple of years.

cheers guys...!

mines is ok on uneven road , it just when i press the brake pedal and make a turn ( around 20-30km speed) , got noise , confirmed is both left and right hand ball joint spoiled, lubricant oil inside the ball joint leaked out , dried, causing the sound

Anyone here using F-sport intake?

I don't think anyone here using the intake but I know a few IS using it and I've heard the sound of it...sounds like very garang,deep roar. I'm planning to get one too. Price wise RM2.2K frm TOM's Sunway. If ur interested maybe i can get a cheaper price for it with a group buy.
