Its very well possible! I loved that car but the possibility of the Zoom Zoom Boom worried me

Among other things and its an awesome investment. I actually have a 4 post lift on the way as well for storage. My whole family is crazy for cars so its a wise investment to get the equipment to be able to do work on our own cars. We are actually looking at purchasing a alignment rack next.. well see about that one though.

Wost thing I did was put it up for sale once! glad my wife talked some sense into me!

Finally after 4 months of waiting my wald is back. Still not happy with the job that Carson / Wald did but im going to just suck it up and run it.

Ill be honest, I was really up in the air if I would care for the all carbon fiber spoiler but Its kinda growing on me, I think without the hybrid badge, I would really hate it big time.


Some crappy install pictures...

I haven't done much with this car recently other than Evo8 Seats and put it up for the winter.

Ill be honest, I think the Evo seats are my favorite mod ive done since I sit so much lower in the car and fit with a helmet now.

Also here are some photos from a autocross I did a while back.

This Lex' is Pure Sex: A Lexus IS That's Ready to F Up an Autocross Course



The V8-powered Lexus IS F was designed and engineered to be a performance sedan from the outset. However, it needs some special attention to be optimized for performance on an autocross track.

Finally doing an upgrade,

These Penskes finally arrived!
[Attachment 385438

Found two quick issues, One issue is the bushing/ bearing isolator is missing for one of the rear shocks, RR-Racing is taking care of it and sending me a replacement.

Second issue is, The Penskes do not work with the Gen 1 Figs mega lowers, they physically fit into the lower housing but once the bolt is tightened the body of the coils is firm against the arm. It could work I'm sure if you shave it or bend the housing down the Figs does in the Gen 2 but I'm not chancing it. I spoke with Mike and Chris at figs and I ordered a new gen 2 control arm.

Looks great Patrick.

Can't wait to get my Cobra Misano Anniversary seats in the car.

Should be able to get the passenger seat done on Saturday, and possibly the drivers seat the same day or Sunday.

Thanks again for all your help mate. Much appreciated.

I cannot wait either, Hopefully you get them sorted! I think the issue is while are cars are the same, I'm sure the US / UK wiring is different between the seats.

More than likely, think I've got the passenger seat all figured out though.

Getting the airbag delete wired up on Saturday morning. Should be good to go with fitting it after that.

That just leaves the drivers seat to tackle. Hoping that won't be too different, but guess we'll see!

Be nice if I can get both done by the end of this weekend, but time will tell!

Nice suspension upgrade with the Penske coilovers.

On a side note, can you give me some specs on the Bend Pak 4 post lift that you have in your garage (model #, garage height, etc.)? I'm looking to install one in my garage sometime in the near future and based on my initial measurements (garage height of 9' 6"), I believe I can make it work with some minor modifications done to my garage door (by moving the garage door opener from the center to the side). Any lessons learned that you can share are welcome (you can PM me if you like).
