Default New to Lexus

I just purchased a previously abused 07' IS250 with 75k on the Clock. It is loaded, Navigation, Sunroof, heated/cooled seats etc... It is black on black and is bone stock. I have owned a bunch
of Mustangs, a WRX and my last car was a 02' Impreza 2.5RS and really never thought about buying a Lexus. I was really looking at the BRZ but after having the 4 doors with the Impreza, and finding the IS250 and taking it for a test drive, bought it. I would like to modify it some but not get crazy with it like some of my other cars.
I am thinking about getting a full exhaust replacing the manifolds with headers and everything else in the exhaust. Getting either a drop in filter or CAI. UI would like to get wheels also, have been looking at some ROTA's in an 18x9 with some 265/40/18 & 245/40/18. Not sure about lowering it because our streets here in new Orleans are crappy.. Maybe coil overs so I can lower it just a bit but still have a stiffer suspension.



I have also been trying the sequence to disable the ESC but haven't been able to get it.

By the way my name is Mike

Welcome, Mike!


I'm sure our other members will try to steer you away from Rota wheels as their reputation on ClubLexus has been less than stellar...
