I have read elsewhere that 2018+ models do not need the recall

In both cases its likely down to the higher friction top coating EBC put put on their pads. This is to give bite from the off whilst they bed in. I used blue stuff on a track day, very dusty but excellent once warm. Not really to be used on roads, got Reds going in soon as it warms up enough to keep my fingers whilst doing the job lol

Same. I often have to brake to join the traffic - oops lol.

I’ll ask the detailer

How do you find the response time using the trackpad when in wireless? I gave up on wireless it was too delayed.

I def recommend a DIY ceramic coating. My detailer has done mine each December on the driveway and I’m super impressed. This was after a 40 mile trip down a damp M20 last night.

Awesome mate, well done finding it in UK at that price. It's a must have for sure!

I have also been invited to the RC stand. Hmmmm. I missed last year owing to a holiday I forgot about, well up for this one just dont know if I will go for the F stand or the RC stand.. Do you have a club stand already organised with them?

I think if i had bought one of the German marque's and found myself paying out for repairs other than maintenance, it would have put me off owning a performance car altogether. I chat with people about what car I've got and initial reaction is "Oooh must be expensive to run"....well I guess more petrol and arguably premium price tyre's but that's about it in comparison to anyone else's daily driver.

I have had 2 services since owning, including the big 60k one and diff oil not been done. I will make sure its done next and suggest trans too as it'll be 8 years old.

Is diff oil in the service schedule - does anyone know? And if so, when/how often?

@mr2ladand you managed to order all of these items before it costed £7,000,000 to ship a wheel nut from the US!! 😞

It's likely all gone by this afternoon, fingers crossed.

Oh no sorry didn't read your sentence properly.

We got them in the UK too There’s a red one on autotrader right now

You have: Lexus RCF Owners Community F UK Lexus RC Owners Lexus Owners Club UK The top 2 are prob 90% US members but still lots of help assistance and mod ideas I follow daily.

Absolutely, with older children such as your grandchildren it would be much easier. I also put my over carpets on the seat whenever she goes in, which isnt very often to be honest. Looking forward to when she can get into her forward facing seat by herself lol.

Yes it is still rear facing. I put her in the front with me if my wife doesnt come along. I think when she moves up to toddler chair (after xmas) it will be easier with ISO fix and forward face.

I have the opposite issue with size. Love my RCF but struggle getting my daughter (14 months) in the back. Swap? lol

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully not a labour intensive change.

Agreed I am not sure the type of person either immune or perhaps ignorant to the current cost of living crisis would be the same type of person to drop £50k on a performance Lexus... more likely a German marque IMO. Someone sensible with their money and their choice of cars however, would be sensible and buy one of the other GSF's for £10k less lol

Congratulations, welcome to the F club. Now get some miles on that car for the love of god LOL LOADS of content on here for questions, as well as a couple of decent Facebook groups. Enjoy

I did think it was a little cheap initially - good move. Good luck with the sale, hopefully we will see you back again some time.

I think if you are after louder than my video with a lot more drama then stick with your plan. If you would like something a little more discreet but still sounding great on tap, then perhaps look at the GT Haus with valved silencers?

Haha thanks, I will never go back that's for sure. Invidia only make 1 system for the RCF, I believe they call it the Q300. Only a couple of us here in the UK have one as its imported from US. Well worth the wait. So vs the QS I find it much more 'refined'. There is not drone or hum/vibration through the cabin like I found with the QS at low revs. The QS was awesome when driving it hard, but pottering around town started to grate on me to be honest. Especially when trying to go up a hill at 30/40mph, that went right through me. The Invidia has the V8 burble as it drives past you at low revs, still makes people look - but its not AMG of course. High revs it does scream, very raspy sound. Will bang/clap on quick gear changes and of course off the limiter too :-). You will find the GT Haus quite a bit louder than that video of my Invidia.
