Anyone know the approximate value in CDN dollar? I have checked autotrader in Canada.. and there is only like 5 ISF for sales with too wide of range prices.

My 2012 ISF is in excellent condition and fully loaded, have PPE, Intake, exhaust upgrade (also have original part) with only 63,755 KM (39,615 miles).

So I finish bleeding, everything went smoothly. I released the pressure off the tank. I removed the adapter from the master cylinder and now I see the clear hose that's connected to the adapter is missing.

I started looking for it inside the master cylinder but I can't find it. I took a flashlight and looked around to see if it dropped somewhere, so far I can't find it.

Assuming I can't fish it out without emptying the entire master cylinder, is that going to cause an issue down the road? I'm really pissed that thing came off.

Since the left rear tweeter on my MY10 IS F has stopped working, I’m thinking of installing a Mark Levinson system, something I’ve been considering for a while. I don’t think there will be any issues with the front wiring harness, but since the locations of some of the rear speakers differ depending on whether the Mark Levinson system is installed, I’m struggling with how to handle the wiring harness.To be honest, the cost-performance ratio isn’t great, but I want to enjoy the sense of superiority that comes with having Mark Levinson, and since I often listen to songs with female vocals, I think it’s worth installing.

Need your opinions on reliability of very low mileage ISF's, say a 2012 with only 20,000 miles. I understand that generally cars that are not driven for years can have issues with rotten or dried out seals, gaskets, hoses, bushings, etc. But is the issue really that severe that I should not consider buying one with such low mileage?

Had these mounted and balanced at a local shop I trust (I did NOT bring the car to them, just the wheels and tires).

Got home, installed the wheels/new tires, torqued lugs to spec, test drive..............front is vibrating. Really awful ride quality too. Just trash. The car is jittery as hell, you can feel every imperfection in the road, so bad. $165 spent.

A few weeks go by (Car sat in the garage). I decided to swing by the local Dealership since they are close to my work. So far this car required me to take some time off, be late to work, etc.

Told them these are new tires and the front is vibrating. (Needed State Inspection too)

Dealership:

Checked Alignment - $155 - Alignment is fine.
Checked balance - $99 - Said "Road Force balance is needed but there still may be some vibration"

Exact quote:

"Balance new tires to 28 from 47 and could not lower the right front anymore from 25. Rear Tires were both at 11 and no need to phase match. Completed"

At this point, I am not sure where to go back to get this resolved. I don't know if the tires are defective or if both places don't know wtf they are doing, that's the problem, I am not a tire expert, I don't know this stuff. Nearly $300 spent on balancing trying to make this car not vibrate and nothing.



Also, is it standard practice for the Dealer Tech to "Road test" the car without prior approval? ]]> IS F (2008-2014) 2URGSE https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f-2008-2014/1050879-new-tires-front-is-vibrating.html <![CDATA[YOU'RE INVITED: Lexus IS Legacy Tour: LA, Chicago, New York, Miami]]> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f-2008-2014/1050873-you-re-invited-lexus-is-legacy-tour-la-chicago-new-york-miami-new-post.html Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:04:44 GMT
(Mods, I'm going to post this in a few different locations)

Fun news, folks. To celebrate the Lexus IS's 25th birthday (and to hopefully sell more 2026 IS 350s), our favorite Toyota division is hosting a four-city road show dubbed theLexus IS Legacy Tour (<-- hit that link for official details).

Think of it as the ultimate car show centered around the Lexus IS. An Autocross Track (with 2026 IS 350 ride-alongs).
Food trucks.
Mark Levinson & Music.
Lexus Accessories.
Japangeles merch.
Contests.
Giveaways.
And of course, 25 years of Lexus IS models.

All Lexus owners are welcome to attend. The event is FREE. However, if you own an IS, you can go to Lexusislegacytour.com and snag one of the complimentary VIP Owners' Paddock, where your car will be part of the show (and Lexus will throw in a free bag of merch.)

AND... the tour is kicking off right here in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 30th, where I'm based, so I'd love to make this an official ClubLexus MEETUP for any members who live in the area! So let me know if you're interested and if you're planning to attend and hit up --
Lexusislegacytour.com
TO REGISTER
UPDATE from Lexus just to be extra clear for anyone who might be confused.

TO ATTEND, you don't have to register. You don't need to own an IS or a Lexus at all. You can just go for fun. All four events will NOT "sell out"

FOR LEXUS IS OWNERS looking for that VIP Owner Paddock Parking, you do need to register. In those cases, the system may say "Sold Out" and suggest a "Waitlist". Lexus told me that people should definitely add themselves to the waitlist. All of those applications will be reviewed by whoever is doing such things, and they may move people around as needed. I'm not sure when they're going to let folks know.
