Is your F 100% stock?

[Flytvr]

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one running a 100% stock F. I know this can't be true, but I thought I'd just check the stats via a poll.

For those that have modified their cars, feel free to list what you've done.

[FTBBCVoodoo]

Takeda Intake 

Fox Cat Back Exhaust

EBC Yellowstuff pads at front

MTEC discs all round rather than brembo

Wider tyre size front and rear with MPS4S tyres

[Mattmech]

Hps intake pipe

toms panel filter

secondary cat delete, full system keeping standard tips

usrs bushes

uprated from pads

wider mps4s tyres

Yours is just chavved up at the factory. ;)

Quicksilver trumpets. That's it.

Want a lexon diffuser but can't get round the shipping costs at present.

Thought you’d messed around with the engine?

Put intake on and took off again. It improves peak power I'm sure, but feels like it takes a bit off the bottom where it's more needed.

Before I vote, are Lexus illuminated door sills classed as a modification or an accessory ?

Depends if you're going to tell us where you got them and send pics. Are the plugs already in the car?

Some things you can't unread/unsee 😉

[mrfunex]

Totally stock - I can’t yet think how I’d improve my GSF...

I’ll be putting MPS4S tyres on once the current MPSS are toast, though...

LOL...sorry I don't have any pictures of them fitted. I bought them from here https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-OEM-Factory-Illuminated-Door-Sills-2pc-set-2015-2018-RC350-RC-F-/231912833808?hash=item35ff150310 no way I would pay UK dealer prices for something so aesthetic.

There are no plugs, and although I loathe the things, they actually use Scotch-Lok connectors to tap into the current wires. It's probably the one time where Scoth-Lok's are appropriate because you can then remove easily enough.

totally stock

Totally stock. Except for the front license plate having been knocked off at the local Sainsbury’s car park. 

🤔

Mine is completely stock. Although, seriously considering an aftermarket exhaust at the moment. Something that isnt obnoxiously loud. So i can enjoy the V8 in low revs

Don't bother with an exhaust. Just do a resonator delete. Speak to @Mark G

I know I am not allowed to post here I guess ( I am sure), but @Flytvr - you need to specify what modification is e.g. I don't see performance brake pads (e.g. yellow stuff) as mod, surely then non-stock tyres (what were they Brigetone Potenzas?) are much bigger modification, yet nobody considers that to be mod!

My points - some changes doesn't make car modified, some other does - so what is in and what is out?

I personally wouldn't worry about pads and tyres.

Definitely visual elements / engine / exhaust count

Michelin PSS is stock. Potenza are garbage. IMHO.

True, resonator delete on mine, cost me around £100 doesn't make the car much louder, sounds a lot better though.

[tomRCFcarbon]

In EVO, the long term end of test report refers to a pencil in a vacuum pipe that results in the sound enhancer thing in the cabin always being on. Does anyone know what that referred to?
