I'm Back!

I'm glad to be back in the Toyota Community.

I get asked occasionally how the Evo and the IS250 compare - They are worlds apart in so many ways.

- The Evo -

Bloody quick, bloody fast, handles like it's on rails, bloody fast, occasionally looking out for the popo, but to be honest it was bloody fast.

- The IS250 -

Very comfortable, super luxurious, so quiet, makes me sleepy driving this damn thing, very cruisey, and I think it looks sexier.

I bought this car a few months ago, but I've been too lazy to make up a new post so here it is!

This is when I took it for a test drive: STOCK!

Thanks guys!

More updates to come.. slowly roll them out.. hehe

I've been considering painting my roof black since i've got it.. I've seen it, and it looks awesome!

So I washed the car for the first time at a friends place (wheels haven't been cleaned before this shot was taken).

Correct! KW's Variant 3s!

Let me tell you these coilovers are AWESOME.. The ride quality is very close to stock which is the main reason why I got these.

Slammed on the lowest they would go, and getting a wheel alignment.

The next thing that was done was a much needed tint.

Went to get my car battery changed, and while I was at the dealership I thought I'd get a set of window visors put on as well :)

Hey Lee! Long time, long time..

Thanks, Definitely an upgrade in my eyes too in terms of styling and comfort! For shoes, I'm pretty set with something already, but I justified with the missus that I'll get them when my current tyres are close to needing a replacement ;)

Sexy!

Missed white - Best colour!

The speed transition from the VII to the IS250 is almost non-existant :ph34r:

Good to see you're modding the Lexus Alex :D

Like everyone says... wheelssss! I'm guessing 19inch minimum with a low offset..?
