Secret things about the IS?
#17
By the way, do you have a grounding kit installed in your car? I heard many good things from e-shift owners that a grounding kit improves the shifting and idling of automatic is300's. It can also stabilize the sensors and electronics in and around the engine bay. Might be a good idea for a minor mod that can be done yourself for relatively cheap... I did mine for about 40 bucks in materials and around 2 hours. I noticed a VERY slight change for the better in the way my car runs but it is barely worth mentioning but for an automatic, the improvement may be more noticeable. I have some pics that will guide you through the process if you or anyone else would like. This is a DIY mod but there are commercial kits sold on ebay and other places that you can buy for $80-100. These kits are all pre-fabricated and will be easier to install than what I have done myself. However, I enjoy doing this kind of stuff and for half the price.... why not?
Let me know if anyone is interested...

Anyways, I was looking at the pics I have of my grounding kit install and some of them aren't very clear. I will take better shots and post them up within the next few days...

Here are the PDF instructions for the IS300 Teck grounding kit. Maybe somebody here can host the file. These links will only be good temporarily.

I'm going with the brake line union since there appears to be less chance of air being trapped in the line. It seems like people who just gutted their CDD still had air in their line...which is probably why the engagement point changed.
This just gets rid of that annoying feeling like the clutch is slipping at high RPM shifts...right?

The brake line union is the ONLY way to go for this... in my opinion anyway.

VERY nice. But too late for me. A union is a union imo. I would've considered getting these if they were out when I deleted mine...
