    Interested. Saw you post on facebook. Depends on prices though. They're £510 delivered from UK distributors. If you need to add 20%VAT and 2.5% duty, a group buy might work out more expensive.

    Spare a thought for all the F's on lockdown too. Looking forward to blowing the cobwebs away when this is all over, quite literally.
  3. Toothy
    Yes, rear one again. Fronts have been fine.

    Sent you a PM @The Bodyman regarding Covenrty too. That's if these places will be open during current times...

    Update to this post from a couple of years ago. The car went for it's 3rd year service today. And to our surprise, one of the shocks has a slight leak again! Waiting on parts as it's still within warranty. Anyone else had similar problems?

    20% off for Gold members if you have it done at Coventry. Just had the ISF and RCF serviced. ISF qualified for cheaper servicing due to being over 5yrs old. RCF was around that price before applying the discount (including MOT).

    Jag Heritage? @Twellsie Don't think I could justify the cost to be honest. But following with interest. Wouldn't mind a cat / axle back system for a decent price though.

    A local in his M3 thought he could escape me on the Autobahn... He didn't 😎

    https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-features/lexus-is-f---the-brave-pill/41861 Seems like a bargain for age and relatively low miles. Anyone know more about the car? Nice to see so many defending it as not being a brave pill too.

    I'm just under 40 all around last time I checked. I will alter it slightly if I see outer or inner wear, but at 40 it seems to be wearing nice and even. I have same tyres, mine are about shot on the rear after about 18K. Not bad. Front are fine.

    Front tyres (ISF only) can wear unevenly on inner edge due to a poor lower bush design. Mine were down to canvas, when the rest of the tread was only half worn. Fixed the issue with a pair of aftermarket bushes (USRS). Not sure of anything other than that. If it's a good brand of rubber, one would assume the owner has taken care of them too.

    I use a Stoplock Pro https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stoplock-Pro-Elite-Steering-Anti-Theft/dp/B003S51WII Not sure about a disclock. More difficult to store when not in use i would suspect. But more secure.

    I'm local too, so might attend. Not really interested in the museum as i've been in many times before. Would be nice if I didn't need to pay admission just to park up, but guess that's not an option.
  14. Toothy
    No update on facebook either. Would like to know.

    29 when I bought mine. Had it for 3 years now. 21 when I first drove one. Felt like a supercar back then, jumping from my Nova or Fiesta or whatever I could afford at the time 😂.

    This. Massive amount of force in an unsecured wheel. Will easily seriously injure or kill occupants. There are usually plenty of anchorage points in the boot. Find a way of ratchet strapping it in place, or covering it in some kind of cargo net (not elastic type). Assuming there is no bolt hole for retention the the traditional way.

    Probably for the best. Otherwise they could have confronted him, his partners or possibly children to get them... I saw this posted on facebook. Reg is MV58 CJX. Link to post, with updates from the owner. https://m.facebook.com/groups/505251549484871?view=permalink&id=3687586817917979

    Thanks for the info Dan! I've never run with flap always open on the Takeda, so might give it a try. Interested in your airbox build. Please make a thread about it when you get around to it. I'm sure plenty will be interested.

    Something to do with heat soak from engine if i remember correctly. Does sound better though.
  20. Toothy
    Swapping onto the same rims? Where you going to get that done, and will they store your summers?
  21. Toothy
    Checked my joints last night. Everything seems fine, they look like new. No signs of scoring or splitting. I wonder if you over-tightened the jubilee clips which then cut into the rubber.
  22. Toothy
    Ooh, i best check mine. It's been on a couple of years now. Where did you get the Samco hose from. Including sizes please.

    They're the standard wheels for that age still. The other version was an option. No difference in size either.

    Original Bridgestones changed at 26,000. These had a little life left, but had bad wear to inner edge on front tyres and were starting to crack. Swapped for Michelin PS4S and fitted USRS bushes at the same time. Showing even wear after 16,000 miles. Front are about 1/2 worn, rears 2/3. I would estimate 20K+ on rears, with 30K possible on fronts.
