Awesome. Did you go brand new? The Invidia is cheaper, but they are almost impossible to get (cost effectively) in the UK.

Sounds good to me. Was gutted to miss JapFest so will be on this one for sure!

Hi all, Back in the Summer of 2020 I was on the lookout for a USB ISF and/or RCF. I remember calling a private seller about an ISF at 9am on a Sunday only to be told that it was already sold after being listed for just 12hrs. He said he had like 15 phone calls and took a deposit over the phone without any viewings, likely because he sold it for just £16,500 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202206066498517?sort=datedesc&radius=1501&make=LEXUS&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&postcode=br51dq&model=IS F&page=1 Was this the one that got away? Now with Lexus approved warranty for an extra £9k and only about 5,000 miles on it since Summer 2020!? Great to see these cars holding strong... and rightly so.

Ah, there’s me thinking he would’nt have 2x identical Siebon’s, must have the OEM CF one too 😂

Please let me know if you ever wanna sell the OEM look Seibon 👍🏼

Had the Invidia fitted yesterday and it looks great. I’m so glad I decided to paint the rear face of the mufflers black. Looks and feels OEM but sounds so much better, as it always should have 👌🏼

Indeed, its better than having an ad that says "Awaiting Photos" - really annoying that.

My 2015 RCF also shares the cruise control lever stork/control with a Corolla that I hired back in 2012...lol Perhaps models with radar have an upgraded control?

Correct for the RC. Had it on my IS250 too. Whenever my mum borrowed car, she would call to ask where the handbrake was every time without fail haha

Not a bad idea. Mine had 24k when I bought it and already the drivers bolster was worn down to white. Had that professionally repaired. They do stick out a lot on the F however....difficult to slip in without your back rubbing on it.

Ha how funny, I have owned my RCF for about 18 months now and always wondered what those extra bits of leather were for...just went outside to try it out with the belt and yes, I will be using them from now on! haha. I can however, see some very slight wear in the leather so suspect previous owners used them a lot.

Ha very strange. Hopefully you can get it off easily with the limited access.

I was DM'ing with the seller who informed me he has change of plan and will not be selling until Jan.... Hopefully he will be along soon to post an update.

I fancy we will see it on a forecourt shortly (in orange, not purple) for around £39k

I guess I was focused on its rarity You could be right

Could’ve had an offer from a Trader Prob be on a fourcourt soon £39,995

I was thinking that. Buys one of two then wraps it. Perhaps the colour didn’t matter if was always planned to be wrapped.

Agree looks like an LC....look forward to seeing it

3. 4 and 5.1 are all cross compatible 4 has higher boiling temp than 3 and 5.1 has higher boiling temp than 4 therefore a “better” fluid choice but that’s not to say the lower ones are not ok. DOT 5 is the one that’s NOT compatible. Factory spec is indeed 3/4 but like I said, Lexus Sidcup put 5.1 in mine at my last service in August without me asking

I traced back the part number on my 6yr service receipt and it came up Toyota 5.1 That's for RCF, but I imagine they would use the same for all F's and prob LC500 too.

Have a great day everyone, gutted I’m missing the opportunity to meet some of you. Take lots of pics.

Awesome, definitely pulls it all together now.

I once had 53 Then 54 Then 55 Then realised I was looking at miles travelled since restart not mpg ha...DOH!

Ah ok, I thought you might have bought the full cone filter setup.

Send it back and exchange for one of their panel filters to go in the OEM air box 👍🏼
