Sign language................................. I think we have hijacked this thread...............................

That's the engine in question, they also did a 5 cylinder as well................

I will spell it out to you next Friday...................

Mine lets out a bit of a squeak when its being pushed, its done since I bought it 2 years ago.

I think the angle was so narrow, either10.5 degrees or 15 degrees depending on the engine that primary balance wasn't such a big issue, it was so narrow they only had one cylinder head that covered both cylinder banks.

The engine was actually built by Yamaha in Japan, the engine was designed primarily to be fitted transversely this is why they opted for a 60 degree angle, although Noble fit it longitudinally and then bolt on 2 turbos!!!!

Well now you mention it I think that missing wheel nut may have unsettled the car slightly and slowed me down....................................

If it was me Danny I would check out the information in the handbook and see which viscosity is recommended for each operating temperature range and stick with that, I don't think you will go wrong with the manufacturers recommendations.

Glad you had a good holiday mate, just returned from the states myself, 2500 mile road trip, love it. I don't think that car and the word "taste" should be in the same sentence....................................

You can read all the road tests you want, Lexus haven't moved the game on, the Germans are so far in front, the F models are underpowered, the guy in the video has his own agenda. Well here is mine, when I park mine up, I still turn around and look back as I walk away and when I am out in it, early morning in the summer time and I am "making progress" I have never thought, damn, this thing needs another 100 or 150 bhp, it cant go around corners, it understeers too much or the LSD is pointless. I love the car, for the money, show me something that can cover the ground as quickly, as well equipped, without shouting about it, and give you the confidence that it will never let you down....................

I love Scotland, some of the roads are epic, I have never done the NC500 although I have covered parts of it, the fact that it is becoming popular puts me off a little, I don't want to drag my car over 400 miles to find I am stuck behind a Dutch registered VW camper for mile after mile and when I do manage to pass him 5 miles up the road I am caught behind another one, I know this may not be the case and also that everyone travels at their own pace, however for me it is a bit too far to experiment with,. I hope any of you that do try it have a great time.

You must be able to find something for 20k surely........... Don't bother trying to find a blue one, they command a big premium for obvious reasons........................

I don't even have time to post anything on here...................................

Noisy cars................anti social things................................

So does this mean we are actually going out and meeting "other people" ??

That is a lot of money for a headlight upgrade, are the originals that poor?

I will be in the USA so I=count me out. Lexus fanatics?? Who are they??

Yes officer, it is rather quick for a Toyota Avensis....................is it diesel??........Er no.....................

A friend of mine has just been quoted £6500 to replace the drivers seat in his IS-F, 2009 car with 40k miles, Lexus refuse to replace it under warranty.

£81k price tag?? How, list price was just over £50k in 2009 I would have thought, where does another £30k come from??

Hmmm, its probably advisable not to place drinks on my paintwork......................

Bet he cant wait...

Well I would have to think twice about being taken for a ride in Rattys van...................

Lancashire Hot Pot........................Yorkshire Puddings......... Thread well and truly hijacked!!!
