Good on you young man and thanks for the latest photo's as my young brother has almost dribbled on my keyboard over the Lexus as he drives a LS250 I think and once you have the issues sorted on the Tudor, you will be welcome to park it in my garage for our summer and your winter months so that I can help keep the cobwebs out of her.

IS250? LS only comes in a 400, 430, or 460 flavor. the number is a designator of the motor size. IS 250 is a 2.5 liter 4. IS 350 is a 3.5 liter v6, LS 400/430/460 is a 4.0, 4.3, or 4.6 liter v8 and so on.. the LS is a large family sedan, the IS is a sporty mid size sedan.

my Lexus is an RC-F, which is technically a RC 500 as it is a 5.0 V8 470hp. there are RC250, RC300, and RC350; those are the lower models of the same line. the "F" is the Lexus designator for their "sport" or "super car" models. There was an IS-F from 2008-2012 that was a 412hp 5.0 V8. There is also a GS-F which is the same motor as mine in a GS series (sedan), and next year there will be a 660hp twin turbo LC-F (for $180K USD) released.

and yes it is fun car to drive, but not so fun to work on.. Hence the drive to buy the Tudor, something to tinker on without all the computer crap.
