IMG_7342.MOV Here’s a little taster my friend filmed as I left his...

Absolutely! I am told by US owners that the Invidia is the tamest of the aftermarket systems but that was what I was after. The OEM exhaust just has no drama about it AT ALL and for me there wasnt any point owning my first V8 without the soundtrack to go with it. The Invidia is the perfect balance of OEM and theatre. Epic cold starts, nice rumble on tick over, no drone at all but let's rip when opened up, love it! I actually had the QS rear boxes before hand and although great soundtrack, they just didnt seem to match up to the Lexus level of quality that the rest of the car does. The Invidia feels to me as if Lexus fitted it 🙂

Just a service. I am yet to MOT with it fitted, but I will be going where my Brother used to work for that when it comes in March - just in case.

Still not fixed it? lol "Summer job"

I had mine serviced with Lexus this August with Invidia full system fitted, no problems at all. The video they do simply said "...and I can see a nice new stainless exhaust system has been fitted so no issues there" I enquired about Relax warranty and they said they will continue to cover all parts which are NOT aftermarket - but you are alikely aware of this having fitted the QS already... PS I have heard @hockeyedwards car in the flesh and it sounds epic! But yes, very loud 🙂

That is impressive tech!

Sweet. I think had the Orange not matched so well I was going to go satin metallic red, like the track edition. Gives the car so much more presence when parked up. Actually looks like it has something tasty under the bonnet now lol.

Soooo had my calipers done and thanks to someone on Club Lexus I used RAL2011 and it is an exact match and I’m over the moon.

Reading this I suspect it's all down to the fact that the tech can only do the TSB in 20hrs. Whilst you are waiting on Lexus UK, try another dealer.

If you take out the Gold membership on here, you will get 10% off servicing repairs and parts at most main dealer branches.

Don't forget all these prices should be 10% less if you are a Gold Member on LOC.

Try adjusting the volume only when TOM TOM is talking. In other cars I have owned, this will adjust the Sat Nav volume separately, rather than OEM/General volume.

That’s a nice repair, can’t see it.

So by March, I should be able to get it for £35k, awesome! lol

Yes it would have. Mind you, if it hit the bonnet it would have forced my hand to get that stone chip monstrosity sorted at same time... Still, lucky 🙂

So, I can confirm yes a branch DID hit my car and yes it DID leave a mark! Luckily it hit the windscreen - which I only just noticed today....having had a dirty windscreen for a while. Managed to get it off with glass cleaner, but took some elbow grease. I am very lucky it did not hit bodywork, it would have dented for sure. PHEW.

I would urge anyone to avoid Texaco like the plague. Where I live (Orpington, Kent) there are 3 Texaco garages nearby and they are all attempting to rip people off. They are by standard around 15p more expensive than BP just around the corner and Esso further up the road. Last week I drove past Texaco on Monday 189.99 for Diesel. Then drove past again on Weds and it was £199.99!! Taking the micky making prices up as they wish like that. Just to add into the chat, I use Esso Super 99. The manual recommends 98+ and I believe Rob has already explained the long term KCLV corrections our sophisticated ECUs make. Though you will prob not notice any difference driving ordinary roads.

Indeed Clarkson did not like the RCF, but that was because he loves the LFA so much. Pretty sure if I had an LFA for the day, I would be a little deflated getting back into my RCF lol.

Yes I have the diamond cut RCF wheels and they’re nice but simply awaiting the day they start corroding and when they do I don’t really want to keep paying out for refurbishment. Just personal preference that i much prefer the GSF wheels, I think they’ll add aggression to the look of my RCF. But then I saw my wheels in this video finished in shadow chrome. Could be a cheaper option.

So I’ve heard

Awesome. I love the GSF wheels so much!!

So is the UK OEM finish on the GSF wheels a form of Shadow Chrome then?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYSNTJfvLbg Hi all. Did anyone on here own this RCF? Looks like the OEM wheels have been redone in what I think is Shadow Chrome... I'd like to talk to the person that got them done if at all possible? Cheers, Bill

Looks awesome. Get what you pay for + postage and duty lol

Yehhhh Carbon Effect was never going to be good was it. Prob be ok fitting to a less prestige car. At that price point, fitment was never going to be good, but if I had a black car like yours I'd have ordered them ages ago. On the blue, you need black wheels and dechrome - just like Ben has.
