2011 Lexus Is Is-f on 2040-cars
Walters, Oklahoma, United States
I am always available by mail at: delmerdttigner@cricketfans.net . Up for sale is my pride and joy. I hate to sell this car, but I have an
opportunity that I don’t want to miss out on, so the Lexus is the first to
go. If it doesn’t sell, I have other assets I can liquidate which would
allow me to keep this baby.
The car is a 2011 Lexus IS-F. It’s in amazing shape, and I’ve babied it
ever since the day I got it. It was 100% stock when I bought it, and since
delivery, I’ve added some mods to suit my taste. I’ve only put 13,000
miles on this baby since I got it. It was manly a weekend, sunny day driver,
however I did take it on a road trip to Michigan last year and it was great. I
have never had any problems with the car what so ever.. not a single one!
Every oil change has been done at the dealership Lexus of Tulsa, and they
preformed a recall issue that had something to do with the radiator fan
shroud. I’m not 100% what it was, but they did it while the car was in for
an oil change even though I never experienced any issues.
History of the car shows it was a total loss back in 2013. Before I bought
this car, I did extensive research, asked many many questions to the seller, and
drove the car on 2 different occasions before pulling the trigger to purchase.
The reason Carfax shows it as an insurance loss is because the 1st owner was
trying to parallel park, hit a car, and the owner of the other car keyed this
poor IS-F so bad that the entire car needed to be repainted. There is not
mechanical damage to the vehicle. The car drives PERFECT and straight!
The car has been lowered on BC Racing Coilovers. I have it set kinda low, and
have had 4 adults in the car while cruising down the highway. It will rub on
big bumps. The beauty of coilovers… you an adjust the height to your
liking. You can raise it up if it sits to low for your taste. Wheels are
Vossen CV3’s 20x9 (front) & 20x10.5 (rear). Brand new tires were bought 3000
miles ago.
The car is also outfitted with a fully integrated, concealed K-40 360i Radar
detector. System include front & rear radar sensors, 2 laser jammers in the
front, and 1 laser jammer in the rear. Leds are flush mounted between the center
vents for easy viewing while keeping my your eyes on the road. The system is
operated by a wireless remote control, and has a hidden speaker for audible
alerts. This thing will save your butt, I promise you that. Worth every
penny I spent on it!
Body mods are limited to a rear bumper diffuser that was on the car when I
purchased it. For a safer night driving experience, I added 2 light bars
behind the front bumper. Behind the top grill, sits a 24” LED bar, and
behind the lower grill hides a 32” LED bar. While I was at it, The factory
fog lights were replaced in favor of a set of 4x4 Rigid LED blocks. All of
these are wired into a switch to the left of the steering wheel where the blank
knock outs were. I also have them wired into the factory fog light switch for
easy on/off while cruising down the highway. Also behind the front grill are 4
red/blue police lights as well as strobe lights in the headlights. These are
wired to a switch to the left of the steering wheels as well. Obviously, you
don’t want to turn these lights on while cruising on a public road. These
were just an extra toy for car shows/meets. Highly illegal on the highway,
I’m sure… however… people WILL get out of your way if you’re coming up
behind them and you “accidently” bump the switch. The tail lights have
been lightly tinted.. just enough to kill the obnoxious bright red color.
There is still a red hue, and lights are still very visible.
Under the car, I had a custom exhaust installed. By doing this, not only did
it increase the power, but it sounds AMAZING, and the car lost 110lbs from
removing all the factory pipes, mufflers, and cats. I purchased a set of
Sikky headers a month ago from a shop in Dallas. They arrived last week, but I
haven’t been able to get the car down there for the installation of them.
Headers will be included with the car, but install is your responsibility. The
shop quoted me $700 for install, and would need the car for 2 days. I’m
afraid if I take the car to get them installed, then I will end up keeping it…
which really wouldn’t be a bad thing I guess.
The sound system is absolutely nuts! I had 4 goals in mind when I built
this…
1) To keep the interior completely stock looking and alter as little
as possible.
2) To build a trunk that would blow people away and stand out at car
shows.
3) To obtain loud, clear sound.
4) To Keep and have access to the spare tire.
All 4 goals were met, and this system sounds and looks truly amazing. In the
pictures, you’ll see an Audio Control DQL-8. This was from a previous build
that I did in my last car, but it took a dump on me and I have since replaced it
with a JBL MS-8. The quality of the MS-8 is sooooo much better than the Audio
Control. The system is pretty elaborate and the only factory piece is the
Head Unit for obvious reasons. Steering wheel control, voice recognition…
everything factory still works as it should. The Factory Mark Levinston amp
feeds the JBL MS-8 digital processor. From there, signal travels to a pair of
Kicker IX amps. The sub amp is an IX1000.1, and the 4 channel is an IX500.4.
The sub amp powers a single Kicker 10” L7 Subwoofer in a ported box. The sub
fires into the front of the car through the ski hole. The rear arm rest can be
folded up and the sub is completely out of site. The 4 channel amp powers 2
sets of top of the line Pioneer D-series component speakers. These components
are located in the 4 doors. The center channel in the dash was swapped out for
3.5” Kicker speaker for added clarity. The sound stage and clarity is spot
on and can be adjusted with the MS-8 if you prefer. The front ash tray is
missing (underneath the sliding door in front of the shifter) because this is
where the Audio Control display/controller was located. Under the sliding
door, there is just a big hole. I haven’t located an ash try or built a
housing for the MS-8 display yet. In the trunk, There are 2 fuse
distribution centers for all of the added accessories. There are strobe lights
and RGB LED lighting inside the sub box/amps/fuse centers. All the panels were
covered in black leather, with the exception of the trim panel around the MS-8,
which was covered in silver carbon fiber to flow with the exterior of the car
and the center consol look. Added to the factory head unit was a
Navigation Unlock module, which allows you to access the portions of the head
unit that would normally be locked out while the vehicle is in motion. This
also allows the DVD player to display video while driving. The switch is
hidden but easy to get to.
The clear coat on the Vossen wheels are starting to peel off. You can’t tell
from a distance, but its bad enough to bug me. I’ve contacted a local wheel
repair shop and the cost to redo them is $140/wheel ($560 total) plus the cost
of dismounting and remounting/balancing the tires. If I end up keeping the
car, this will be the second thing I get done. The first will be the
headers! There are a few really small minor blemishes on one of the door
panels inserts, but you have to look to even notice.
The car is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is available to see/drive almost any
time

Anti-EV, pro-hybrid ad from Lexus gets a whole lot wrong
Fri, May 9 2014Tell us if you're surprised that Toyota (through its Lexus brand) is putting out some questionable information about electric vehicles. While it's one thing for company executives to be anti-EV, it's quite another to put out obviously false information when you speak ill of plug-in vehicles, especially when you also sell them. The automaker offers the RAV4 EV and Prius Plug-In, albeit in limited numbers, First, let's look at what Lexus is saying. On the company's consumer site, in the hybrid section, there are a number of slick videos. In one ("Hybrid Overview"), Lexus makes it look like charging an EV takes four hours. That may be true in some situations, but the video shows an anonymous driver plugging a Nissan Leaf into something that looks like a AeroVironment DC fast charger, which takes around a half hour to charge. Granted, the site has a disclaimer that says, the "charge time represents the average time to charge from empty to full using typically available 240V commercial charging stations," but in everyday use, that's not something EV drivers often do. Charged EVs mentions two previous studies that show how most EV charging is done at home. Lexus knows all this, of course, but doesn't mention it. Lexus says that there are 20 states with an "established infrastructure" for hydrogen. Another video on the site, one that talks about future alternative powertrain technologies, says that there are 20 states with an "established infrastructure" for hydrogen and 37 with the same for electric vehicles. It also blatantly says that we need to consider all of the emissions from the fossil fuels used to make electricity (carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, etc.) but does not say anything about the fossil fuel emissions used to make hydrogen. You can see some screen grabs in the gallery or watch the video yourself. It's all blatantly one-sided, especially since the official numbers from the Department Of Energy say that there are Level 2 public EV chargers in literally every state except Alaska and only 11 public hydrogen stations in the US. Ten of them are in California, the other is in South Carolina. A Lexus spokesman told AutoblogGreen it will ask TeamOne, its ad agency, and the Lexus marketing department for clarification on where the data in the videos comes from. We will update this post when we hear back.
Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell Mirai isn't good enough to be a Lexus
Thu, Nov 17 2016It looks like the first hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle from Lexus will be faster than previously advertised, but it will get to the market slower than expected. It's all part of the paradox involved with Toyota looking to broaden its fuel-cell technology beyond the Mirai. Either way, the first Lexus fuel-cell vehicle is slated to start sales by the end of the decade, said Auto Express, citing comments from Alain Uyttenhoven, head of Lexus Europe. Uyttenhoven noted that it'd take an SUV to provide enough space to accommodate the packaging for the Lexus fuel cell powertrain. That comment may imply that the hydrogen-fueled powertrain from Lexus will offer similar performance to that of the Lexus RX450h hybrid SUV. That model delivers 300 horsepower and boasts a 0 to 60 mile-per-hour time of about seven seconds. Such a mill would be a departure from what we'd previously reported on Toyota's plans to expand its fuel-cell technology to its Lexus luxury badge. With Toyota believed to be planning to unveil as many as three fuel-cell models in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the Japanese automaker said early last year that it may have a Lexus fuel-cell vehicle available as soon as 2017, while reports suggesting the model would be a Lexus LS-based sedan. Additionally, the Mirai's fuel-cell powertrain had been believed to be the platform for the proposed Lexus fuel cell from the moment that model started sales in California last year. Apparently, though, the Mirai's 152-horsepower powertrain, coupled with a full-tank range that would be about 20 percent less than the 300-mile Mirai, isn't up to snuff for Lexus duty.
