Sorry I've been AWOL for so long here! I've got a 1992 LS400 that I picked up after I got rid of my 2006 IS350. I work for Toyota/Lexus Financial Services so I get the nice opportunity to get into some of the best cars for very reasonable pricing. At the moment though we're looking at buying into some businesses so I got the LS to keep my expenses down. I'm over in Anamosa.

Oh yeah, as a side note to me getting out of my IS I have the K&N drop in filter and the Joe-Z intake if anyone wants to take them off my hands for a discounted price. Hope we can all get together at some point.

Welcome Isaac.
I think we'll all start working on our first meet once all this crappy weather gets out of here. I think late May, early June would be a good time to bring it all in. We could poll to see where the majority of us are and pick a nice central site. I offered to host a gathering (re: BBQ) as a stop over on the way to the Chicago meet in June (I think), but I'm open to anything.

Once again welcome to the fold.

Steve

Yeah it's a great company to work for. I currently am out due to an unidentified illness so hopefully I'll get that licked before we all plan to get together.

Has anyone done the Nav hack? I've got an 07 IS250 and wondering if anyone close has actually done it.

Thanks,

Davenport here.
We talked about a meet, but we've all either brought it weak or distracted for the Summer. I'm still up for a Meet. The forum thread has dried up lately, but I'm sure we can get it going again.

very clean IS, been a while since I posted on this thread, I know I know I have been slacking...but seems like everyones been doing alright...

I was planning to change out the pads on the LS, but just havent had a chance to...today would be a good day, the sun is out and I could get a nice tan at the same time!!! hahahaha

But good to post in here once again, didnt take long to find the thread, basically all I had to search was IOWA lol.

well ill post some pics of the car soon, mods I have done are wheels, tint, sound...I think suspension is next, the car needs a nice 1-2" drop, especially in the front....

oh and also anyone know of a cheap good Daily Driver for sale???? looking for something with better gas mileage and more practical, not to mention I would like to garage the car during the week but I cant since it is my only car at the moment

well thanks guys, again nice talking to all, and welcome to all the newly found iowans...

Can't let this thread die yet.

Finally got my summer wheels on. Painted the rusty calipers and rotors also. Really cleaned up the look of my ride.
