Ryo Aiba is the man, he’s on Facebook and on a few ISF sites, the German F club is also an option, Ryo is here in the uk and put LSD on his 09 ISF, from memory I think it was around the £4K mark, he’s also done a few Lems upgrades and being Japanese himself has a few bits we can’t get, hope this helps Paul

So u want a posh “beetle”? 🤔......😂🤣😂

@Warrington guy was good to hear from you Dave, car looks stunning, like the Mesa red, that’s by far the best colour in the M 👍👍👍
-
What a “beautiful colour “......almost as fetching as a Mesa red ISF 😉
-
@FlytvrDav, the old girl is sick, she’s in for another injector 😔......at what she’s cost me she may well be staying 🤔......
-
Can’t say it either Paul😂🤣.....actual price is £18100 to £19900, they use “caps” not auto trader or glasses guide, offered £4500 for the V70 too, making £23,500 PX, as for car, got to be sensible, kids, dogs n caravan to consider 😔
-
Yesterday I was given a PX price of £19000........looks like maybe the F’s are increasing in value 🤔

The Red one is back again
Womble72 replied to rayaans's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Oh, is one of the other seven in existence?....lol, what an absolute beautiful colour, seeing is believing 😉......mine sort of resembles that colour with a nice dusting of salt....I mean white 😉 -
Time for a replacement battery?
Womble72 replied to Toothy's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I did open my bonnet to see if there was any information, unfortunately it’s housed within a cover and the only sign was a “Lexus” label 🙄......but it did show that the size will be something to make sure is right, cosco one sounds good value if cca and dimensions are right 👍 -
Time for a replacement battery?
Womble72 replied to Toothy's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
It takes over 6miles to even start to put any charge back into a battery, then there’s the 5.0ltr that’s being turned over, I “fully charge” mine yearly in sittu, the cca on these engines is a massive draw, if it’s starting to get lazy I’d give it a full charge, see how that is, I’d also check the dimensions on the battery on it as these can change, biggest CCA rating is the best battery you can get, more for small trips and regular turn overs, yearly charging will help with battery life -
@Flytvr n @Big Rat......much respect to u both on the effort you put in on this AND all the other meets........it’s very much appreciated
-
Yep, it is what it is, would be great if all can/could make it, especially if we ALL got a T shirt, we could be called “the F plague” 🤪🤪🤪
-
28-29th April. 😔.......Definitely can’t make as I’m away, come back that weekend, already lost out on the bikes n Black Forest that weekend 😔........damn that bloody wife 🙄

IsF Group buy @ Hayward &Scott
Womble72 replied to Big Rat's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I see you’ve roped Donald Trump in the help make sense of it 🤪🤪🤪 -
I may well stand corrected but I’m sure Dave’s System stops short like the stock exhaust, sounded great and wasn’t obvious to the key that it had been changed, I like the mesh in place BUT would happily have new tail pipes if it’s possible to keep the mesh or something similar 👍👍
-
@Big Rat A friend of mine had the H&S cat back system on his F.........was just under £900 🤪.........got to be a better deal with a group buy 🤔....I’m thinking the same as @Warrington guy, I like the thought of keeping my tips, I personally prefer the mesh in place 😳.......time n costs will tell 😉
-
Outback back, new 5 ply steel head gaskets fitted, £793 n pennies.........over £1000+ cheaper than Subaru themselves 😳........🤔......no brainer 🤪🤪🤪
-
@Rusty Crobar the performance is pretty much “0”.......practically is very good for us, we need the estate for the dogs and we have a dog kennel on wheels (caravan) was a purchase so the dogs can holiday with us 🙄.......passports too, there really is no place they don’t come with us 🤪.......it’s the wife 🙄......I’d have preferred the IS300 sport cross BUT age n boot space has played a major roll and the lack of an estate with the is250 😔.........was a toss up with this, a newer V70 or an accord, write we’re better on the outback......I just got a “not very well looked after one”..........despite having full Subaru main history AND being the directors wife car..........reinforces my main dealer views tbh..........they’re crap and get paid to work on your car or not!........therefore a “good Indy” is by far the best way forward 👍
-
@Rusty Crobar mines the 2.5 sen, bought to replace my aging V70 as a daily commute, (the wife wanted one) 🙄.......fsh and in having both head gaskets done (typical main dealer).......hence my dislike of main dealers,........Subaru uk say its due to poor workmanship,......just can’t win!.....she’s a keeper now 🤪

Confused with IS-F pricing
Womble72 replied to Blista's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Yes I know 😳.......house extension started a month after purchase, my bike has a grand total of 165 miles on it, purchased in 09/16......the build is coming to an end, so a few miles to be put on both this year 😂 -
All I know is my fuel pump feels like it never stops 🤪.......although tbh 24mpg on my daily commutes this week ain’t to sad.......considering 29-30 out the Outback with half the engine 😉

Confused with IS-F pricing
Womble72 replied to Blista's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I can only agree with all the above, they are a fantastic car ALL of them, I bought my ISF nearly 3 years ago, she’s a 2008-58 with 49k, now 57k, I got mine from Lexus Coventry. I personally wouldn’t accept anything under 18k if I was to sell, most would possibly see this as an over priced car, but I don’t think I could replace her for that and would rather keep her. Lexus Liverpool will have the Rats car up for sale soon if not already on the forecourt, his was a 2009 car with late 40k mileage I think, whatever u choose like others have said “drive them all”.....the slow sale is still by others that view the M and AMG cars as a better option, this from personal experience ISN’T the case, an M3 with a “typical” vanos issue, an AMG that Mercedes-Benz couldn’t fix (full refund) I’m now on my 4th Lexus and wouldn’t consider another manufacturer, good luck with your quest
