We need to wet the baby’s head “F” ers style 😂😂

Interested pending dates, I can’t do last weekend in May as at Nurburgring, derby was great BUT busy roads, personally a weekend away, bit of grub n a few pints has my vote 😉

Mine does 😉

Dan, if a second opinion is what your after I can’t recommend Westfield Motors in Rawreth enough, both Ian and Chris are ex Toyota/Lexus mechanics and are absolutely brilliant, half the price of Lexus too 👍🏻

Nearly five years with mine, still look back when walking away 👍🏻........is that my front lip spoiler? 😂😂.......looking good 👍🏻

Couple of photos of my old mini 😉👍🏻

Personally I wouldn’t know.......BUT I’m led to believe the ISF manifolds were a weak point in manufacturing, again I’m absolutely NO expert BUT as far as I’m aware Lexus corrected this weakness on the GSF manifolds, both have the same stud pattern layout and use the same gaskets, the increase in BHP is manifold configuration to a degree, I’ve a set of GSF manifolds that will be getting fitted to my ISF at some point due to a small crack in the ISF ones, not sure any power increase will be noticed as the car isn’t tracked or driven in track ways barring the odd burst where time, location and road layout allows.

Not me, first I’ve seen of it.......Personally I’d be reluctant as I know I’d be signing my life away for an LC-500 😂........I’ve a repulse purchase problem 😔

I’ve friend who has both the ISF and GSF, “he” says the ISF is better balanced than the GSF, GSF is a better car day to day but ISF is more a car for the track. He’s also Japanese and returns home regularly and visits fugi raceway........me 🤔.......I can only dream of that car combo and opportunity 😂........

I had a MK1-MR2 as mid life crisis when 40, had it for 6yrs, now 47 I’ve the ISF, a Volvo C70 convertible (which I love 😂) and a Kawasaki Z1000-sx Mgf ABS, my 21yr old son has a ep3 type-R which I have use of too.......MR2 although not fast was a great car in every way. Was sorry to let it go but the insignificant other was busting my fellas about them all. 🙄......oh n I’ve still got my 69-mini 👍🏻

@FTBBCVoodoo.....strange as the mot app I looked at shows only one fail (wiper blade) and advisories on tyres......would be interesting to know the end result and hopefully the buyer will join and fill in the blanks 👍🏻

61k could indicate the 60k service not carried out, can be prone to rear sparks cracked as I’ve read on more than one occasion this to happen despite FLSH 🤔......room for thought 😂......would need someone to know what they’re looking at but misfire could be something this simple (although expensive in labour terms).......would be surprised if it was major as these are pretty much indestructible unless year on year of abuse. MOT history check would be worth looking into.

I know it means absolutely nothing BUT u would of thought they’d have thought it through a little bit better 😂.......clean bill of health for another year, that’s all that matters 👍🏻

Those “Dacia” test centres are another level 😂😂.......definitely one to put at the back of the paperwork 😂😂......love it 👍🏻

Red??.....lol, what happened to pink😉......still the best colour n definitely the fastest 😂😂.......how’s things Dav?.......still got the merc?

I’m the first to put my hands up and know nothing as far as track handling goes, I did watch Nurburgring ISF and they were really impressed and stated it was far better than the M5 and cheaper per lap (retired now I think)........the F logo is the Fugi racetrack configuration from above where the F’s were heavily tested during build/handling. Like I say as for real life track driving I wouldn’t a clue and won’t be trying either 😉........mine may well make the top 67 😂😂....👍🏻

Definitely not 67 red ones 😂......only ever 17 red ones sold from 2008-2013 in the uk, think the rat compiled a list and I think he traced 7 red ones to be left out of the 17 sold. Think the values will go north but a time of 5yrs + will probably be the case.

64k on 58 plate, the highest mileage one I’ve heard of is in the states, was at 314k and still going strong......just the usual wear n tear items like us all.

The seat looks the worse BUT is most probably the cheapest to address, if the moneys right it could be a good buy......there must be some sort of traceable history

These were made purely by hand, totally bespoke by an ageing craftsman, I know the cost wasn’t and didn’t fall at the right time but age was also a factor into the earlier than wanted purchase. It’s a 7 hour job to install without any sort of modification that maybe required with A bespoke system, access is all from underside and includes gearbox removal if memory serves me well. Not something many places will undertake when a gearbox is £8k alone 😳.......your looking at a labour figure of around £500+ and that’s not Lexus hourly rate either, I’ve a crack in one of mine although it’s been there for 5yrs of ownership and there when purchased!.......which shows that the dealers are 100% franchised 🙄......hence the “they all sound like that on start up” 🙄.......100% my fault for listening to a salesperson 😂😂

Dan, im hoping the fact that there aren’t more variations on options that they are all the same downpipe fitment. I’ve a set of GSF manifolds to be fitted and been quoted £900 as they can’t be sure of lineup low level. Hopefully it’ll be cheaper if they don’t have to fabricate anything, Lexus have been absolutely useless as they will only fit ISF manifolds and not GSF manifolds.....and will not confirm or deny fitment hence the reason they’re not fitted yet 🙄

Only know of one person, he’s not on here but has a Facebook page, he himself is Japanese and paid around £6000 from memory to have handmade titanium manifolds made for his GSF and a further £2000 for fitting by Lexus themselves to keep his warranty valid.

There’s nothing wrong with pink! 😂😂 Colour is the biggest part of the car especially on a visual effect, Mesa red was the only colour I was interested in, I stumbled across mine by accident but took it as fate. 5yrs on and it still makes me look back at it, yes I sometimes consider selling BUT don’t actually think I ever would.......house build/finish is normally my thinking stumble and then I recall the saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” 😂.....my colour preference would be RED white or grey blue silver black colour aside they’re a fantastic car

If u open my glove box there will be a sat nav within it!......absolutely awful units and phone transfers don’t work either!.....did on my IS250 but that had an after market (Lexus) Bluetooth unit! The one serious flaw that I think the ISF has 😔

Yes, was a “Toms” carbon diffuser, not your usual, probably around £1000+ and then delivery cost and import duty on top.
