That's definitely a good question for henok since he works at Lexus of Edmonton

At 3,750ft you lose 34.43 horsepower in Calgary, or 11.25%. My initial estimate was a bit high, but still, the fact remains that you're losing 11% HP in a NA car at our elevation.

Damn. We should swap cars. HAHA. As noted in the other forum A790 and I frequent, I wanted White on Red with ML but couldn't.
Anyway, it's sad to hear that the IS was not up to your expectation.
Calgary, same as these boys. Sorry to hear about your experience A790, I've had mine since April and haven't noticed any issues with the interior wearing. Won't disagree with the power but it is what it is. AWD proved itself on the highway these last few days haha.

Anyways, I'm down for a meet sometime.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to organize a Fall meet before Winter comes along with henok01. We would be having it at Lexus of Edmonton. Are any of you guys interested? If so let me know and I'll pick a date that works for everyone, most likely a weekend.

Hey Guys, I also work at the Lexus of Edmonton, we can definitely set up a group buy for the exhaust and intake group buy! Let's do a roll call in our first meet and set one up!

We should see if we can set up a meet two Saturdays from this one on the 11th, and do a nice cruise after!

I would most definitely be down for a group buy for the intake/exhaust depending on the price. Whoever else is interested in having a meet, please post in here so I can compose a list of people who'd like to come.

I spoke with my service advisor last week regarding the issue, he told me that Lexus was working on the issue.

I've heard that too - all summer, but it's October now. I'm hoping this doesn't creep too much longer.
