1. 2012 Mercury Metallic 16k on the Odometer
2. Navigation & Mark Levinson
3. Black Leather & Alcantara
4. This is my 7th Lexus (RX400h (still own), RX300, GX470, ES300, '02 SC430, '06 SC430). I also looked at a G37 IPL and a GS460. There was really no comparison, once I got on the highway and punched it, that was it.
5. No Pre-Crash
6. Sunroof
7. Sin City, NV

Love this CAR!

Smile New Owner In CT

1. Starfire Pearl White
2. Nav + ML (I think ML needs some upgrading)
3. White Interior
4. I wish I had radar cruise control, is there any way to add it?
5. Not sure what pre crash is
6. Pics coming soon after I detail it
7. Sunroof


I am absolutely astonished at the gas mileage on my trip back home after buying it from TN.....26 mpg......370 - 385 miles to the tank. and to think I was considering the C63 AMG. I was expecting anywhere from 20-22 on the highway at best with the IS-F.

Hey everyone! New to the IS-F community (but not the Toyota/ Lexus community). I've had mine for two weeks and am really liking it. Looking forward to meeting some of the other owners and learning about the cars.

I posted an intro thread here too:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post9263209

1. Obsidian Black
2. Nav/ML
3. Black
4.Anything you want to mention (options, others considered, previous Lex owner, etc)
5. No pre-crash.
6. Pics below
7. Sunroof
8. Atlanta

Pics 'n Stuff

I've had a 1997 Toyota Supra Turbo 6 speed since the summer of '99. Here are a few pics:




Driving it home to Nashville after picking it up in Torrance, CA



It still has under 80k original miles and unmolested too (100% stock)


I also have a 2001 Lexus IS300 with a 6.2L LS3 V8 swap. Some of you know this car; the build was documented right here on ClubLexus by ATSMATT. This has been such an incredible car - gobs of raw power, incredible suspension and brakes, and the priceless surprised looks on people's faces when they here the exhaust note or when you pop the hood. Unfortunately I'm about to let this one go - I don't drive it enough to justify keeping it.





Here is an older video that shows the car off nicely:



I've got a turbo'd 1995 Miata for a track car. I built this car so I've got a real attachment to it. There is hardly a bolt on this car that I haven't turned. I did the paint myself too.





And here's my ISF!

Default New owner here and glad to be N/A

I was just about to buy a 335is then I sat back and thought about all of my old blown... turbo motors. Then I looked at up keep... then I remember saying if I ever do this again, its got to be N/A. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of us "I'll never own a Turbo car again" on this forum lol

So that being said, I just picked up a 2008 Pearl White Isf Monday. Sweet deal in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma for 28,500 with only 54k. The great thing about it was the 5 hour drive home. After driving a 2004 accord for 8 years it was a blast. Don't get it twisted 8 years ago I gave up cars for motorcycles so speed is something I know. This car just puts a smile on my face and brings me back to the days of modding.

1. Exterior Color = Starfire Pearl White
2. Nav/ML = Yes
3. Interior color = black
4.Anything you want to mention = was going to to get a 335is white drop top with red interior... then I found out how much the DCT cost to fix out of Warranty
5. Pre-crash/or not =

Hi Guys!

I just wanted to introduce myself, I just picked up a usb isf last week and enjoying every bit of it. I came from a 400hp civic, and aint regretting it one bit. While the civic was fast, it did not have the brakes, suspension, chassis this monster has and of course the luxury. Was originally going to pick up a silver to have a less noticeable color because I hardly came across blue ones (my favorite color). Luckily, one day a blue one showed up and I picked it up right away. Shes a beauty I cant wait to start modding it, probably going for headers intake and a magnaflow or forged exhaust. I will be posting a lot here for sure as well as learning stuff as I do maintainence on my own cars.
