1st saw this done on a white ISF & thought they really suit the car👍🏻 -
Insurance for the F
DAW replied to tomRCFcarbon's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Sorry to hear that. L V might also be worth a go as they accepted my wife’s named driver NCD to start a new policy of her own. I appreciate this is not quite the same as coming from a company policy, but we were not having much luck for my wife until we phoned LV. Might be worth a call if you haven’t already tried them. Good luck whatever you decide on 👍🏻 -

Bloody predictive text😡 Was supposed to say “with my favourite wheels” -

DAW replied to Big Rat's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Have to say I think the silver carbon is my favourite combination and without favourite wheels. Afraid I’m not a fan of the new wheels either. As others have said they are a simpler style which somehow doesn’t suit the car. for me. Still each to there own😉 -
Body kit and tweak chat
DAW replied to tomRCFcarbon's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I do like those wheels - very nice!! Although I’m also a bit partial to the carbon wheels as well - saw those on a white RCF on the Lexus stand at Goodwood last year, which is when I realised how much the RCF’s had grown on me!! -
Would you buy an X press F car?
DAW replied to Flytvr's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Congratulations!! I’m sure you will love the car & at least it provided a good bargaining position with the dealer after all the do I / don’t I . Enjoy your 1st drive home 👍🏻 -
Thanks Paul, I’ll be there on the Sunday👍🏻 Need to get myself a ride in that LC 😂😉

Great idea & thanks for suggesting it 👍🏻, Unfortunately already have plans ☹️

Insurance for the F
DAW replied to tomRCFcarbon's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Was with Adrian Flux until my renewal came through at about £1100 (with an agreed value). Haven’t paid that for insurance since I was a teenager!! Then on cancellation matched LV - should have been more competitive in the 1st place if they could reduce the premium by that much!! Now have 5 year gap insurance with ALA (PistonHeads) using PISTON12 promo code was £373. Got multicar policy with LV for both our cars - RCF being £402. -
“Thanks a for persevering” - not sure why I have gone all Italian 😉

Travelling for an F seems to be the norm, with so few of them, unless you are lucky 😉. Bought ISF from Lexus Leeds & travelled up from Essex by train & drove it back. It was such low mileage example I had already put a refundable deposit on the car, which I haven’t ever done before. So I was pretty sure I was buying it having watched the market for such a long time before hand for the right car. Bought RCF from Lexus Swindon, so couple of trips from Essex to view then pick up.

Thanks a for persevering mate it’s much appreciated. 👍🏻

Welcome to the club & glad you are pleased - they are a brilliant car. Also like to echo the above as there are so few of these cars it’s good to know it’s now with someone who will look after it. 👍🏻 Fun times ahead 😉

HIGH MILEAGE ISF WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
DAW replied to ISF V8 JAY's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
My 11 plate had black surround to nav, silver was on the earlier car before the LSD was fitted in 2010 - as others have said you can tell this model by the blue panel in the bottom of the steering wheel, but it still has equal size speedo/Rev counter. Model changed again in 2011 to inc suspension changes, larger Rev counter, sport button on steering wheel (still with blue panel) & LED DRL’s. As others have said I would buy on condition/history & if the mileage is reflected in the price you will have a very reliable performance bargain 👍🏻 Best of luck with the search. -
Driving in traffic / Waiting at lights
DAW replied to C.B's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I have always used the hand brake when the car is parked & depending on the length of the wait, I will also use it while driving at level crossings etc. I was also told by someone at Lexus Leeds (who also raced) that it was a good idea after spirited driving to help heat dissipate more evenly from the brakes - not sure I will ever drive my car that hard that this would be an issue, but might be more relevant for others 😉 -
Your F.......... in the SUN!

Driving in traffic / Waiting at lights
DAW replied to C.B's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Various previous car instruction manuals have suggested putting the box in neutral when stopped at lights in case of a rear end shunt to protect the box from being damaged & especially not to use park for the same reason. Seems sensible approach so have stuck with it. -
You drive a V8. How’d you like your steak?

In short, the RCF is better than the GSF
DAW replied to Flytvr's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Not like my purchase of the RCF then 😆😉 i know what you mean mate - I watched the marked for 3 years with the ISF, having decided to buy a car with 5 seats In the mean time, then waited a further year for the right car. it will be worth the wait👍🏻 -
Apologies video clip didn’t work - not sure why at the mo?
