  1. 2011 on 28,000 miles
  2. Same as Peter, I keep my a/c on all the time. If you've dropped a load water in the car, try leaving a tray of cat litter in there. It should draw the moisture out.
  3. With all the recent snowy weather I'm getting a measly 12MPG on my current tank!
  4. First set of tyres on mine lasted around 27,000. Only changed due to cracking and inner tyre wear on the fronts. Still had a few thousand miles left in the rears, even more in the fronts.
  5. 50% back on again until midnight tonight. Use code FLASH50.
  6. Owned for 1 year. Just servicing and new set of tyres (approx £800). Previous to that in the car's life (family owned since new, 5 years and 28K miles) it's just needed servicing.
  7. Should be fitting mine myself over xmas. I'm borrowing a ramp/lift + tools off a mechanic while on shutdown
  8. I can recommend the Michelin PS4S. Just replaced the OEM Bridgestones. Noticeably softer compound giving more grip, during both normal and spirited driving. Big rat is correct about Lexus fitting Michelin's to the RCF. Seems they're using the Pilot Super Sports at the moment, which the PS4S replaced. If you can get a cheap set of Super Sports, go for them. I've run them before on a 350Z. They were amazing.
  9. I've attended meets at Coventry Transport Museum too. They're set up well for it and it's a great day out if you've never been. http://www.transport-museum.com/visiting/car_clubs.aspx If not for the 10th anniversary. Maybe something for the future. Especially if we start to see greater number of people coming, like at Cosford.
  10. Good work @Big Rat. I would like a cat back system for the ISF, but think the Quicksilver might be a bit pricey for me. Not disputing the quality or features included though. You'd be looking at around £1500 with the discount on the RCF one. A similar discount on the H&S system would get me very interested! Especially if it was bolt on and could be delivered. The Fox exhaust currently seems best value at around £825 delivered from DC performance.
  11. Would like to extend my thanks to Pete too. My USRS's came last week too. Excited to get them fitted! Top bloke, much appreciated.
  12. Looked a great meet! apologies for not making it too. Off celebrating my 30th, so I had a good excuse :)
  13. I like it with the engine cover! Just make sure those edges have a nice smooth consistent gap to the pipe work and it will look great. Could always do a bit of glass fiber work to hide those open edges etc. and get it wrapped or painted.
  14. I've used them too, several times, with no issues. Worth a look for sure.
  15. For me, I'm perfectly happy with 2nd class, 90% of the time it arrives as quick as 1st class anyway. I'd say tracked was essential to protect both parties though. They will probably ask you for a value too, In case of loss or damage. You might find it will be next day or 48 hour delivery anyway because it will Probably go via Parcel force, rather than Royal Mail.
  16. For tracked postage If they're under 2Kg I'd imagine around £10. Over that I'd think more like £20. Royal mail have a great website that will tell you what price/options you have for a given size/weight. https://www.royalmail.com/price-finder
  17. Hi Pete. What's the total shipping cost? I forget what you originally said. I can do bank transfer no problem. Please PM me your acc number and sort code.
  18. Definitely up for a March 10th anniversary meet. Seeing I will be missing out on Cosford this weekend. Maybe we can get Lexus or at least a dealership involved. Get them to bring down a few F models for people to nose around. You think they'd want to make a song and dance about 10 years.
  19. I hope you feed back to RR Racing regarding the mounting design change. Mounting to upstream/brake ducts sounds like a no no to me too. Just make sure any bracketry in that area is well painted to prevent corrosion. Does that oil cooler replace the stock water cooled one?
  20. Super excited to see this thread. Fingers crossed the build goes well for you.
  21. I'd be up for seeing what mine did on the rollers. If it's the place near Oxford it's only an hour away from me. Maybe setup a meet/event once they have it installed. Was 56hp header, intake and tune? What intake have you got?
  22. Just sent you a PM with my shipping address. Hopefully they haven't missed one of us out!
  23. Used to have speed camera detectors, but now I use a free app on my phone called Waze. I'm sure many of you have heard of it. It's primarily a navigation app owned by google, with very up to date traffic info obtained from everyone else using the app. It will monitor the road ahead even if you don't have a destination set. Showing your current speed and limit, speed cameras and more. It's community driven, so all the speed camera sites are kept up to date. You will also get notified of police (potential speed trap), broken down vehicles, accidents, etc. too.
  24. I had a dispatch email for my order a few days ago. Does that mean the supercharger kit and the group buy are on their way over??
