Welcome to the forum JP.

Welcome. What colour is it? Any pics? 

[scudney]

welcome to the forum,hope you find it informative and enjoy your new purchase

Thanks for the warm welcome and the kind comments.

Responding to the quesitons in order:

Previous car: 2007 Mazda3 MPS (traded it in for the Lexus + cash, wanted a "long range highway bomber" for commuting in style), FN2 Civic Type R before that

Colour: "Blue" (Sorry I don't know the Lexus paint codes as yet)

Pics: None taken as yet, but grabbed a pic off the Autotrader ad.

 

Immediate plans are timing belt change (96k and no evidence of being changed), respray (some corrosion), side skirts, black housing headlights. And that's about it other than maintenance / restoration. Not sure about a Japspeed cat back exhaust...would hate to ruin the car's natural smoothness.

Hello and Welcome to the forum!

If you have any intentions of completing any maintenance, modification or just general enthusiast type jobs on the Lexus now seems like the ideal time to start a thread on the Brand New build thread section to share you ideals and photos and hopefully get a few ideas and tips along the way.

Nice IS, just what I'm looking for too. Enjoy.
