The first time wen u push the ignition .. its on and the second time wen u push it.. the lights of the instrumental panel are on.. and the needles of both the tachometer and speedometer goes frm left to right and back ..
bt i noticed yday.. that wen it did dat.. the needles made a noise as if it was scratching the panel and they were a bit slower than they used to do..
Is this normal or am i going crazy ?

When I got my IS, I noticed the dash sounds like a damn cash register when you hit the Engine ON and OFF button. It's not a huge deal to me, but I always wondered if it was normal until I got into a loaner for a few days(2010) and it did the exact same noise...
Edit; mine does not have electronic steering wheel adjust...just the normal lever underneath to adjust.

I dont recall my car or the loaners I have driven doing that.. Ill check that out this afternoon..
I just ran out side to check this because I was too curious..
Like I thought mines 100% silent on my 2008.. only difference i can think of, I have a electronic adjusting steering wheel that tilts itself up and down when you start the car.. so thats all you can hear on my car (tested a few times to make sure)..
And the 2 2010 loaners I drover were both standard features but were also silent on the instrument panel..
Love starting my car early in the morning (5:30am) with the radio off and hearing the motor purr as it starts up..
