    I was going to say 4.5s is the general headline figure
  2. BillNick
    Same as I only paid £800 for my QS Give it a good overhaul and looks new anyway Def not worth £2200

    Oh that's a bummer. I think when they were in the discovery phase of development it was always their intention but perhaps not enough demand to develop and/or manufacture it further. There is a YouTube video showing a valved QS system. Perhaps it is/was a pilot...very early model RCF so...
  4. BillNick
    Please report back to the forum with what you find out, I would be interested in a retrofit valve control.
  5. BillNick
    Or through a tunnel 😝

    My opinion of the QS having had it fitted for just over a month now is that it's excellent when you 'step on it', sounds incredible. But it can drone through the cabin at lower revs. Motorways are manageable once you get used to the sweet spot. I am happy to keep it as the pro's far outweigh the cons vs the stock exhaust which is just far too subtle for the F brand. 5000 rpm in Sport or Sport S+ still puts a massive grin on my face and as long as its doing that I can't justify £4-5k for a valved system

    I have used Tech One since owning a Lexus - I live in Sidcup. 12 years. First with my IS200 and 2nd with my IS250. Derek is good and very knowledgeable - he did his training with the old Toyota Sidcup which closed decades ago. You will have to request genuine parts if you want them and he will do cash work if the job is right for him 😉 Labour rate I think is £70 + Vat I will be taking my RCF to Jemca Sidcup though as I too have extended warranty.

    It was only a matter of time...

    My understanding is that the RC-F is available new, but all other RC models are discontinued.... {edit} which is confirmed when you look at lexus.co.uk
  10. BillNick
    Yes I can see when and where this might happen, but don't anticipate it happening to me.
  11. BillNick
    If you want the fun and excitement close to the German's and budget is no issue, I would go for the RC-F Track Edition. Check it out... I love my RC-F, but I have been with Lexus for 14 years (3rd car) and I enjoy the mix of luxury with v8. I am told by M4 and AMG owners that my RC-F feels and drives with much more luxury, but the Germans will always beat you on track.
  12. BillNick
    Any members have the above? RCF Carbon edition in Azure Blue? If so, please post pics if you don't mind, I'd quite like to see what the CF trims look like against the blue... Ta Bill
  13. BillNick
    That's a shame, would expect better really.

    I am surprised full window open/closure is not ON by default tbh. When it was a default on my 2008 IS250. I have a 2 year extended warranty plan, have already visited for 1st of the free MOTs and going for my £900 6yr service this August. So again, really hope they do not see me as a customer they do not need to treat well....I am sure they won't.
  15. BillNick
    Well I will ask them to do it at my next service, which is the 6 year service priced at £900+ so will not be very happy if I get asked to pay for a quick switch in Techstream. I am sure they will oblige as you say, for goodwill etc.
  16. BillNick
    Indeed I am sure they will try and add a charge. However I will challenge by pointing out that Techstream always requires updating during a service so should not add any labour time to "flick a switch" whilst already in the system.
  17. BillNick
    Awesome thanks. I will have a good look and let the dealer know what I want changing when I take it in for service end of Summer.
  18. BillNick
    Customisations.....? Tell me more! Not showing under the index of my user guide/handbook.
  19. BillNick
    My 2008 IS250 opened/closed all of your windows by holding down lock/unlock on the remote key. Doesn't seem to work on my RC-F.....does this work for anyone's RC?
  20. BillNick
    Dont get me started on DVLA online services.....many of them close at 7pm. Yes that is right a website with opening/closing hours! Which can only be explained by having humans at the end of the digital submission processing it manually/analogue..... lol Wrap looks awesome matey!

    Ha. There’s another black one in Sidcup I always drive past to n from my mums aswell. He’s def on here, had the full invidia system fitted by Jemca. On my drive down to Thanet to view my first F that was for sale, would you believe another one came screaming up behind me! However not seen another on the road since owning mine.
  22. BillNick
    Would you believe 220 odd RCFs in the UK and I spotted one in a close opposite my house in Petts Wood, Kent. Black with a short registration beginning D6 Anyone here? Waved yesterday...
  23. BillNick
    Interesting about the magnet, going to look for that tomorrow as I too find it difficult/inconvenient reaching for my belt.
  24. BillNick
    Ha that is a baller of a day. But glad you got there in the end. Auto handbrake? Is this GSF only? (I still have a 3rd pedal on the RCF).
  25. BillNick
    Looking forward to the spark plug discussion with Jemca Sidcup this Summer.... 6yr service due, but mileage only 27/28k by then. I wonder if the upkeep for my extended warranty will be the limiting factor.
