Newbie to CL here. The info on the site for these cars is awesome.

So far, I've learned to program my garage door opener, adjust the BT mic sensitivity and do burnouts with the TC turned off.... You know, the important stuff.

This is my first Lexus and, so far, I'm impressed with it. My previous car was a MY2000 Audi S4. The Audi is a cool, fast car but very maintenance intensive.

I bought the IS350 on a decent deal as it was a Lexus Corporate Rep's car. He ordered it fully decked with the F-sport goodies and Nav.

I hope to make it out to a gathering some time and learn more about mod and service options.

I'll post a pic of the IS shortly

What year S4 are you working on and what is the problem? I've got the Ross-Tech scan tool and Bentley manuals that helps with diags/repairs...... This comes in very handy with emissions problems.
I've been through a lot with my old one so let me know if I can be of help.

Thanks Dat, the car was ordered by a Lexus Corp Rep and has the following F-Sport parts: Intake, Exhaust, Brakes, Wheels, Springs, Shocks, Sway-bars, Sub-frame brace and CF engine cover (Which the dealer is working to replace since it mysteriously disappeared between mfg and delivery).

The only thing it needs to be an F-car is 100 HP

2000 B5 S4. We were redoing the seals, k03/k04 turbo upgrade, clutch, flywheel on there. We are trying to get the clutch to work right hahaha bled it but it goes into gear with the pedal about a 1/4" off the ground. Gonna bleed it more again today to see if it will solve it. Other than that no major issues may need the scan tool to see whats up though lol.
