Interesting article
Defratos replied to mike m's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I had Joe-Z on my car for well over 3 years and absolutely loved them. Personally drone was no where near as bad as the other exhausts out there, the only one that probably drones less was the Borla exhaust. The sound of the Joe-Z with headers was orgasmic, below video is a sample but does not do it any justice in real life: -
Detail and ceramic coating today.

That's great value for money, I just got my Cayenne Ceramic coated (exterior only) for like GBP 1k People here rip us off big time. -
Would I need Cats for this Exhaust
Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Thats great, thank you, this will definitely help in my search for a solution -
Would I need Cats for this Exhaust

Thanks at the moment I have HFCs sitting around in my room but the only problem would be trying to weld them onto a titanium exhaust -

Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Hmmm now this is going to be interesting. Let me do a quick search and see what I can find. I posted this on CL as well just to see if anyone state side has experience in this area. The exhaust is already costing a fortune but I wanted it for weight saving....don't really want to cut it to bits and add stainless steel -

Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Thanks mate, I have cats on hand that I can weld on, but do you know can you weld steel cats to titanium? I know its a technical question, but I'm no welder and have no idea how these materials will interact with each other. -
So I'm planning on getting the Greddy Titanium Exhaust for my ISF. Currently I have PPE Cat-less headers on OEM exhaust. MOT passed without any problems. Now with the Greddy Exhaust does anyone know if I would need to install cats to pass MOT? Product Pics here ---> http://www.greddy.com/products/exhausts/all-exhaust/filter:model:IS-F/

RCF Novel headers & Armytrix Exhaust

Too damn loud for daily driving. -
Defratos IS-F Build
Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
lol yeah I can see we're both heading down the same road . For the supercharger install I probably won't pull the trigger until sometime closer to next summer when I'm back in the UK. Those Wedsport wheels do look nice, very similar to the TE37, and yes I also don't want to roll my arches so maybe 18" will be the way to go -
Defratos IS-F Build
Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I got it done from http://ocarbon.com/ , Bought a second hand trim set from ebay (different colours and finishes) and got him to do it in carbon fiber. Yes I still have a few mods you've done that I wanna add I'm definitly going with the RR Supercharger, just waiting for u to find a decent installer so I can take it to the same place lol as for wheels I really want to get the Volk Racing TE37, but still deciding on sizes to be honest, maybe 18" or 19" but not sure, I want to get as much rubber as possible for the power increase from the SC kit. -
So following on from my earlier thread I wanted to create a new thread to keep track of all the mods I do from here on: Current Mod List as she stands today: Black Powder Coated Exhaust Tips Flat Bottom CF Steering wheel Cowon dash cams (front and rear) Candy apple red pearl powder coated calipers All emblems blacked out + window trims + front grill PPE Headers Sikky Sway bars 2014 LED Fog lights Carbon fiber rear spoiler Afe or Toms drop in filter Apexi Throttle controller RR Racing Air/Oil Seperator Orange electronics TPMS with display Figs Racing Brake 2-piece front and rear rotors RR Racing Titanium Intake Figs LCA Bushing and Housing Full interior trim changed to Carbon Fiber (pictured below):

She's Finally Here

Was Red interior not available as an option in the UK? I ordered mine in summer 2012 and specifically wanted it red interior with Nebula Grey exterior. -

Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
lol Honestly I don't remember turning up the contract BUT I did take these pics with my canon camera back in early 2013 when I first bought the car (that's why the seats look clean :) ) Also the baking sun outside probably added to the contrast. I'll try and take some pics next time I'm in the car and see if it looks different. -

@Flytvr here are pics when I first got the car, steering wheel is now in cf and has a flat bottom and the interior trim will be changed to CF soon. -

Defratos replied to kieron1977's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Interesting Thread, one question am I crazy to thinking about getting the Greddy Titanium Exhaust? Think its the most expensive exhaust out there for the ISF atm. -

Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Thanks and hopefully we can get a meet done sooner rather than later. Damn right, Grey is the fastest colour lol , I like the Grey and Blue IS-Fs, sometimes the white looks good as well. -
So finally got delivery of the beast after a month and a half from shipping her from the Mid East. Car has been Registered, MOT'd, insured etc... Drove the car for 2 weeks and forced myself to drive it for everything I needed just to see if having a Left Hand drive car would be a problem in London, and to be honest it's not that much different at all from driving a RHD vehicle so that was a nice surprise. I've left the UK for a few weeks now so won't be driving until I'm back and then it'll be going into storage for whenever I come to the UK. Enjoy the pics: I got hold of some good quality Reflective Number plate stickers and decided to take off the front number plate holder and put a sticker on instead, personally I believe it looks better:

came out real nice -
Nice to see summer coming around in the UK, I bet that 30c weather feels like 50c My normal day here is usually around 35c and soon it'll be between 40-50c lol I can't wait to drive the ISF in 20c weather or colder

Defratos replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
^ Will do, just waiting for the car to arrive and get registered and hope I can get delivery of the car while I'm there in July for a few weeks.
