Wheels: 20" SSR Professor SP1's
Color: Custom
Sizes: 20 x 9 Front & 20 X 10.5 Rear
Offsets: +37 Front & +43 Rear
Tires: 245/30 Front & 285/25 Rear Toyo Proxes TIR
Suspension: KW Variant 3
Rear fenders are shaved, no rubbing at all.
Just a couple pics for now.
The good:After a 3 month wait I picked up my wheels this week had them mounted on Friday and spent most of Saturday adjusting the height on the coilovers and putting on the black pearl emblems.
The bad: Went to dinner last night with my wife and friends and got rear ended by someone not paying attention pulling out of a parking lot .
Special thanks to Tanabe USA, Toyo Tires, KW NA, Magic Film (3M Crystalline tint and clear bra), James @ PitCrew Motorsports (wheel mounting and balancing as well as fender shaving), Primecut (for his help confirming his offsets) and the rest of the members of CL for tips, ideas etc.
There is still more to come, I have some other parts on the way and a proper photo shoot planned

I just purchased a 2010 IS-F a couple of weeks ago and decided to already purchase a set of wheels and coilovers for her. I absolutely love the new look. I would like to thank Chris from COR wheels, Adrey from Specialized Performance for ordering me the wheels, Carlos from Autoglitz for rolling and pulling the rear fenders to perfection, and Doug from Fab Shop Miami for installing my Tein coilovers. I couldn't have a better crew.
For your modification needs contact Adrey and go to www.specialized-performance.com. Enjoy the pics
COR Precise Wheels:
20x9
20x11
Tires:
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
245/30/20
295/25/20
TEIN Comfort Sport Coilovers
Before anyone comments on the thread wanting to see pics of my 97' Toyota Supra since it's in the backround of a couple of pics, I'll just simply post up pics of her too as well. Enjoy

Check this out LOL.
Car has no mods and these came off a 350z.
19x8.5 +22 245/35/19
19x9.5 +22 275/35/19
They are off the car until I put on new tires.
Rear:
Fronts:
I plan on doing 225/35/19, 245/35/19 with coilovers.
Offtopic:
Somehow I found one of the studs broken.. so I need to fix that. Lexus has some soft studs.
Can toyota do Lexus warranty work?

Dyno Comparisons: K&N Typhoon Intake vs Stock vs DIY Flap Mod

Hi Guys,
Well as most of you know there is still a lot of controversy of whether any of the intakes that are avalible actually makes the advertised power gains. FIGS did some initial investigation and I decided to follow suit to see if my findings also correlated with what FIGS found; which was that the stock air box was actually made the most power.
I had the K&N Typhoon Intake for a couple of months. When I initially put it in, after about a month, I noticed some power and torque loss. I thought I regained some of the loss power by doing what I can to shield the intake from the hot engine air. It helped a bit, atleast that's what it felt like. Anyway, I got the K&N Typhoon Intake tested about 2 weeks ago. Note that my K&N Intake system is using a AEM Powerflow DRY Filter (approximately the same size and volume as the K&N Filter that it originally came with). I had driven the car without a ECU reset for a good 5000 or more miles so I was pretty confident that the ECU if it was going to compensate, had already done so and the numbers would reflect real world results...NOT inflated numbers that K&N would post by dynoing immediately after a ECU reset. Dyno runs 1-3 were with the K&N intake.
Next I put the stock intake back on; stock intake box, stock air filter, and the flap working as it would from the factory, reset the ECU, and also cleaned the MAF. Drove the car for a good 500+ miles so the ECU adjusts and dyno'ed again today. Dyno runs 4-7 were with the stock intake.
Next, I did the DIY Flap Mod ( https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ntake-mod.html ). I did this for dyno runs 8 and 9, no ECU reset because I figured the car would already have a decent learned map for the stock air box...plus it would have cost me more money to take the car off the dyno, drive it around, and the dyno it again. But nonetheless, I wanted to see if the DIY Flap Mod made any difference. For me personally, I always felt a marked difference with the DIY Flap Mod and that's what I used before I put on the K&N Intake.
Anyway, on with the results. I know the numbers are low, but I did this mainly for comparison purposes, not for peak HP, and every dyno is different. All of the results below are done on the same DynoJet, SAE Corrected, and Smoothing set to 5...I did the best I can to keep as much variables consistant as I can.
All the Dyno Runs:
Dyno Runs 1-3: K&N Intake
Dyno Runs 4-7: Stock Air Box
Dyno Runs 8-9: DIY Flap Mod
Dyno Runs 1-3: K&N Typhoon Intake
K&N Intake vs Stock Air Box with Stock Filter
Stock Air Box vs DIY Flap Mod
K&N Intake vs DIY Flap Mod
K&N vs Stock Airbox vs Flap Mod
There you go. Discuss!!...Darshana S...
PS Props to HK Motorsports in Van Nuys. Harry, the owner there was very professional and offered a great deal on the dynos. If anyone wants get their car dyno'd, call him at 818-908-9650.
