Hi Guys, Late to the party (as always!), but I presume everyone is now fully familiar with the offerings from Rafi and Simon over at RR-Racing in Pennsylvania? I use these guys extensively on my IS-F, and wanted to make sure you all know they have similar mods available for the RC-F platform as well. Seems like the oil in the intake is also an issue for the RC-F, so I would certainly recommend the AOS kit even if you don't do anything else. Preventative maintenance that will offer peace of mind for sure. With prices on the RC-F now in the mid-30's range, it's getting to be a tempting step up from the IS-F. I'm guessing they may drop to the high 20's by this time next year. Not good for current owners, but good for those waiting to take the step up to a newer platform. No one can argue the interior is certainly a much nicer place to be than the IS-F. Having spent some time with a few modified RC-F's in the States, I should add they are very tuneable, and have a few nice additions that would be welcomed over the IS-F. Do we know how many RC-F's were sold over here in the end? Guessing not many with the harsh reviews (same thing happened with the IS-F). How about tuned RC-F's? Anyone know of any terrorising UK roads?!?! If you guys ever want any help on the tuning front, please let me know. Happy to try and help get you guys whatever you need in terms of support from the US market. All the best, Pete

Hi. This may help? http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/55529-removing-is-250-3rd-brake-light-cowl/

Sounds like a good addition to the fold for sure. Hopefully he'll get on here at some point soon to introduce himself.

Nice! Glad to hear we may have another F in the neighbourhood soon. Hopefully he'll want to join us at some future events.... Congrats on the sale, and all the best for the future.

Good times Matt and David. Shame it was just the three of us, but hopefully the drive out in mine made it more than worthwhile! Lol. Goes without saying, we've left now guys, so save your petrol. Hopefully organise another meet soon. Cheers for now. Pete

Hi Chaps. I'm here. Follow signs for iMax Plaza, then Upper Plaza. Go up the ramp, take first right by House of Fraser. I'm parked at the back, row T. See you soon. Cheers. Pete

Of course! More the merrier! All are welcome. See you soon!

Would be lovely to have you join us if you can. More the merrier.

Nice one! Which LC? Guessing the V8?! Did a test drive in one at Lexus Canterbury the other week at it's launch day. Very nice! Think I'll wait a few years though, let the prices come down! RCF prices are getting temptingly close nowadays. Hopefully catch up soon chap. Cheers for now. Pete

Hi Ben, Think the ones we did were 52197A and 52198A. Think they come as a set? Weren't overly expensive from memory, less than £20.

Hi Ben, Do you mean the fixing that sits inside the rear wheel arches under the liner at the very corners? If so they are I believe white on one side, and yellow on the other..... Only reason I mention it is Roheel on here sourced two sets when we decided to replace ours a few months ago. Maybe drop him a PM to ask for the part numbers? Know he had them. His username on here is: Arqum.

Ok, seems like we have enough to keep this on the cards for Sunday. Hopefully a few more will join today and tomorrow as well. Look forward to seeing everyone at Bluewater on Sunday. I'll aim to get there a bit earlier, that way I can add meet point details. If anyone gets lost, call or email me. 07976773854 peter.payne@cathedralcapital.com Cheers! Pete

No worries. All been there chap. Given the current numbers, do we want to postpone the meet?? Seems like a lot of effort for 4/5 of us! Thoughts.....?!?!

Shame, but totally understandable chap.

Sure, no worries mate. Hopefully you can make it along.

Hi Eriks. Meet is scheduled to take place this Sunday 25th June at Bluewater shopping centre. Will start from 11am, and run until people get bored, and leave! Lol. I need to get my son home to Royston by 7pm, so would need to get away by 6pm or so at the latest (if past experience is anything to go by, I doubt we will run much past 2-3pm). Hopefully there will be a few more attendees signing up? If you can make it, that's 4 of us so far........

Thanks guys. Meet point will be dependent on weather I guess! Thinking rooftop near the Cinema entrance at the back of the shopping centre. Will try and put up the exact level/area etc when I get there.

Late morning into early afternoon maybe?? Say from 11am onwards....?? Be good to get a list going of attendees if we can? - Pete 08 IS-F - - - - Hopefully we get a good turnout.

Thanks Mazin. Be nice having yours here for a while. Pretty sure you'll be the second most modified ISF in the UK! Still got plenty left to do. - Switch out the BC BR's with Swift springs, for the RR-Racing street/occasional track coilovers. - Install OS Giken LSD kit from FIGS Engineering. - Buy and install RR-Racing supercharger kit. That's all I have in mind for now, but no doubt there will be more! Lol.

Cheers Robb. Just trying to figure out my finances to hopefully get the RR-Racing supercharger kit.

Hi Mark. I'll try and get a few more pics done soon mate. Here's a couple in the meantime.

Hey Guys, So looking like we go with next Sunday 25th. Any preference on time? Would people prefer mornings or afternoons? Don't see much point in doing evenings, as it'll be dark! Lol. I guess it does stay light late at the moment though, so up to you guys. Just want to try and get a decent turnout if we can. Let me know Chaps. Cheers. Pete

Sorry to see this Mazin. Must admit it's one of the reasons I courier most of my parts home myself! Don't trust Couriers I'm afraid! Hopefully they compensate you adequately, but I do understand you'd rather just get your exhaust back. After all, that's what you paid them for! On a more positive note, let us know when you are ready to meet up my friend. Be nice seeing another extensively modified IS F on UK roads. All the best, Pete
