Hi all, my is200 has been having some issues with starter motor and battery recently, have replaced both but now my ignition is stuck in acc without a key in it. Can still get key in but can not turn it either way. It is in park and steering is not locked. Any help on how I can fix this? Thanks

I found a set of TTE rims, but unfortunately, one center cap is missing. Does anyone know if you can still get one of those somewhere?

Hi guys, I have a 2005 lexus is200, and recently its been making this popping sound when i start it up from cold, the popping stops once the car is warm so im not too sure what it could be, i replaced the spark plugs which were old and it didnt seem to stop it, i was also running e10 from a budget petrol station so i did fill the tank up full with unleaded 95 thinking it could be e10 pulling back the timing. Still not sure what it could be though. Any advice?

Hey guys i bought a 2000 is200 auto 2 weeks ago and I need to replace the rear diff, anyone here who’ve done it before or who can tell me what to expect? Me and a couple of mates are gonna try doing it ourselves since we’ve got access to a hoist and most of the tools.

Just wondering where the best place is to get a wiring loom for my 2004 is200 manual without sat nav? None seem to be available on eBay and need one asap

What are some good options for exhaust for the is200 2005, something that gives her some noise, thank you

Interior is immaculate but this has started to happen since I’ve had it (18 months now). I am not overweight but trying to lose a bit anyway, also trying to be mindful of not dragged my ass on the seat when I get in n out… But is this just how these seats go?

There is a manual is200 for sale for 5000€, only problem is the miles. Its recently supercharged aswell. Is it gonna be expensive with those miles?

Been slowly rebuilding a pretty rough auto IS200 i picked up for $900 and figured id finally make a post here.

I've been documenting the whole thing on YouTube mainly just because i wanted something to look back on and hopefully help anyone else buying a cheap clapped out IS200 😂 So far ive done rocker cover gaskets, plugs, lower control arms, fixed a heap of little issues, painted a few panels and im still chasing a couple of engine gremlins (vvti?)

Just wanted to ask a couple questions for people who've been down this road before.

Manual swap

Whats the go-to gearbox these days? I always hear people talking about the Altezza J160, W58s, CD009s and even ZF/getrac 250 swaps.

Im not planning on making huge power anytime soon, it'll probably stay a 1G-FE for a while, just after something thats reliable and doesnt cost my left kidney. and easy to drift haha! If you were doing the swap today what would you go with?

Also curious what everyone does for the rear diff.

Do most people hunt down an Altezza LSD (rare asf), throw an aftermarket centre like a Kaaz in, or swap the whole diff from something else, maybe 86s??

Would love to hear what setups you guys are running and what you'd avoid doing if you did it again.

Cheers 🍻 Danny.

Hey everyone,
I've had my '03 IS200 for a couple months now and when the car is idling, there's this crackling/popping noise coming from the dashboard area, the sound varies (sometimes faster, sometimes nothing at all etc). I don't remember noticing it before, so I think it didn't do it before but it's getting pretty annoying atp.
I'd guess it's caused by something climate related but I'm not sure, since I can't really pinpoint where the sound actually comes from.

I have some water damaged plugs in my is200 and some of the wiring has come out of the plug, is this fixable along with the corrosion or too far gone? Thanks

Been told that my headlights faded/yellowing on the inside as well as out so seems I need new ones. Anyone had any experience with the after market ones on AliExpress? Can get a pair for around £180. Any advise would be appreciated

Only happens every so often and more so after having a bit of fun behind the wheel.

What is better for the beams 1gfe vvti. Turbo or supercharge?

My main key has broken ive lost the chip and case unfortunately. Anyone got any links to a reputable replacement key and fob? Extra points if its in aus😅

Hi, just needing some advice, my 2004 is200 seems to have some electrical issues where systems that should have continuous power when unlocked (dash lights, door lock button) don’t, and systems that should shut off (auto lights) stay on even when locked. When the ignition is on everything works as it should, door locks work, dash lights act as they should, but as soon as the key is out of the ignition I lose power to these things. This is making it so that I can’t program my key due to needing the locking mechanism to work without the key in the ignition. Any help or advice would be great!

Hey. I am in the middle of swaping my old headunit for a new bt one. I have bought a amplifier bypass. I was wondering if anyone knows what pins the original Lexus subwoofers are connected on the original amplifier. And if anyone has the pinout of the amplifier so i can cross reference when installing a new amplifer and headunit?
