    I have the Invidia on my RCF and from what you describe, I think it will give you exactly what you are after. Its most certainly not the loudest aftermarket option, however soon as I drove away after fitting I felt it was exactly what the car needed from factory. It burbles on lower revs and sounds amazing when you kick it down over 3500 rpm. Plus ZERO drone!! There are louder options and you might prefer a valved exhaust, but you will pay more. The Invidia IMO is the best value for how the car should've been made ;-)

    Possibly, but suspect loom wont have feed for fog light, neither will the stork inside the car have a switch. Anyway, whilst good chat, all reasons not to bother seen as I already have an RCF...

    I think you can switch the speedo in the satellite settings, you can in RCF anyway. Infotainment I reckon someone knows what they're doing on Techstream could sort that out - maybe not. Maybe you need a fresh software installation on the headunit? Do they not have rear fogs in Japan? Cant see it being road legal here without a rear fog?

    Imported GSF just dropped onto AT. Blue, 2016, 38k miles, 1 owner, £34,995 I am very tempted. What should one look out for on a jap import? Will the infotainment be japanese? Perhaps a simple Techstream update ??

    Hi all, I am taking another trip to Europe next week, 4 days long weekend. Clearly my annual policy covers me on my RCF but they will not add my bro in law temporarily who I want to share the driving with. They advised to get him separate temp cover to overlay. Last year I was able to do this with my brother for around £120...This year I am getting nowhere. All the top Google firms are refusing to quote. Can anyone recommend any decent niche brokers for this cover please? Thanks

    Again all very encouraging and welding in empty sport cats is a great idea but a last resort by sounds of it. I have an RCF and lots of owners that have gone FBO in US complain about smell. Very interesting. You might have reignited my desire for headers lol
  7. BillNick
    That is very good and encouraging news RE compliance for headers. I assume your chosen tester will be blind sided by the physical absence of the cats? All of this has always put me off getting headers, so very encouraging indeed.... Does your car smell at all?

    That’s it, must’ve been you. Was in the spur road once you get off the M25. I was in my blue RCF yes. Never seen a white ISF before, looked mint 👌🏼
  9. BillNick
    Black for sure, goes great on the orange with black trims.
  10. BillNick
    Maybe the equipment they had wasn’t quite up to the job. Good they didn’t get it though.
  11. BillNick
    What year is your RCF? And when you say attempted, was there any damage done at all? I am wondering why pre 08/2017 models are not listed in Lexus Newsletter, any clues from your experience?
  12. BillNick
    Of course, all in the name of "Greedflation"

    One of the best thing about going F over any of the M's or AMG's is insurance and rarity. Let's just hope it stays this way...

    Hi all This has now been claimed Thanks

    Hi all I bought a club stand pass for this years JapFest but I’ve now booked a holiday and can no longer go. I can transfer it to another owner for free just DM me if you are interested and we’ll sort out the admin. All club stand passes have already sold out so here is your only chance. JapFest is at Silverstone Sunday 7th April Cheers, Bill.

    The day after I booked mine in, I got a call from sales rep trying to upsell me one of the used Track Edition's which is still on AT. Yeh ok, Ill just go and get the spare +£50k I have down the sofa and be right there 😄

    Hi all, I came up behind a gold/silver RC this Saturday morning just gone, approx 8:40am. Junction 5 of M25, number plate had RON at the end. Anyone on here? I was in the blue RCF.
  18. BillNick
    Hi all, Saw a white ISF pulled over in the hard shoulder off of jct 4 of the M25 (Orpington) this Saturday. Was it you? Always excited to see another F in my local area. And, yes hard shoulder, but no didn't look like a breakdown. I think I saw a lady get out to tend to kids or something... that was my assumption. Say hi if you're here?
  19. BillNick
    Anyone know if this is also the case for the later mirrors - 3IS/RCF/GSF? I just bought some carbon mirror cap replacements from US seller and now worried I have made a mistake - dammit.
  20. BillNick
    @RCF Fan depending age and mileage of your car to date, you might find new hardware for the calipers is due. It will also compliment your shiny new pad install. Lexus want c£99 for each side! But fear not, a few of us purchased a full set from Rock Auto (no affiliation) for a fraction of the cost $15, despite shipping from US. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/lexus,2015,rc+f,5.0l+v8,3310304,brake+&+wheel+hub,disc+brake+hardware+kit,1736 I bought the Carlson brand, but cheaper variants are available now...

    I cant comment on dust vs OEM as I have not had OEM pads in the 3 years of ownership. However the level of dust from the Red Stuff is satisfactory for a performance car and I have read feedback from other owners that they are better vs OEM. One thing you do NOT get if you grease up correctly is squeal - OEM can be bad for that I am told. If you need any pointers for fitting, DM me. Its easy!
  22. BillNick
    I recommend Red Stuff for daily driving, if you plan any track days go Yellow - though they do report to be a lot more dusty than Red. Yes, both of these pads from EBC have the little notch in them to accept the OEM wear sensors.
  23. BillNick
    Indeed. £1500 is still going to hurt, but I am somewhat less worried about finding coolant now.... Plus if I remove the plastic engine cover myself, I might save another £1.00 in labour LOL Glad you are all sorted @ubersonic
  24. BillNick
    I think a few layers (5-6) of good quality lacquer might give you the same finish? And arguably last forever same as bodywork.

    Not advocating in any way at all but the dismantler's selling these wheels had an entire GSF at one point https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333768752155?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8xMc12cKTTW&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=KnwGFylsR_a&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Send them a message but like other say, likely all the parts in demand have gone.
