Glad you found your way on here @caldera. It's a wonderful car, I had a heavy heart when it left the drive but had to be done, happy it's gone to a good home with an LOC member. Lots of very helpful and friendly people on here, you'll enjoy it.

Gents, May i draw your attention. @ThebigC My time has come to part ways. Would love for it to stay in the club, just listed. thanks

Morning Team LOC. Plenty of threads on this but I just came across something that excited me a little and thought it may help our small community. I replaced my brakes all round some time ago and recall the trauma of finding original Brambo front discs (or discs at all for that matter) for the ISF. Well I just ordered another two sets of discs for my race car for the upcoming season and randomly thought i would take a punt and see if they made discs for the ISF. Result result they do! I can recommend these chaps and endorse the quality of their discs having proven them in racing for at least 3 seasons. For info my race discs exceed 800 deg C, never had a warp, crack or any concern with them so for the relatively sedate road puposes you cant go wrong. Anyway link and screen shot. When the time comes I know where I'll be heading. http://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake-discs/lexus/is-f-08-13/is-f-5-0-02-08-12-13.html

Emjay82 has snaffled it. Sorry buddy.

If you want it it will be cheaper than amazon. 👍🏻

Just to throw it out there... have an HPS Intake pipe I'm not using now having designed my own. Like Pete I know run without he two top breather hoses from the heads and the RR-Racing AOS system (although not fitted yet).

Emjay, you are right I designed my own Intake system which is a hybrid of the Lexus CCSR, and the HPS Intake tube with a panel filter. There is an increase in noise but it isn't in the realms of a full open cone intake like the K&N. It also still retains the secondary system so no matter what you do it's not going to make much noise before it comes on song and askes for the extra flow at 3.5k.

Personal preference. I wanted a more OEM look and thought the 35% would look more that way. The Limo tint look just isn't for me but don't dislike it. Don't think the inside would be to dark with the 20%.

Hi @dr_rick, yes the pictures I put up and during and after and that price rings true to me, think it was £135 or something like that for mine. Enjoy.

Very odd, didn't buy my car direct from Lexus but does have a full Lexus service history. Had 6 months warrenty from seller so didn't start my Lexus extended warrenty until that expired. No problem at all buying it.

Ok bad example it just happens the S3 was my last car. It is of course the ultimate answer 4x4 on winters but my RX8 R3 and BMW 335d were both RWD and were a whole heap better in the winter than the 4x4 on summers. I don't have a need for the Volvo to run winters as it never does any real miles, it does the nursery run, an odd trip into town and the load lugging in summer for our trips.

It's a fair enough comment, as with all things it's each to their own. Since I first used winters 5 years or so ago I'd not be without them, a lot of people dont have the same requirement as I do, I may live in the Midlands but I travel every other week to Scotland and up to Wick. Not a chance in h£ll i'd venture up there without the assurance of winters.

Winter tyres all the way, well worth the investment and time. We have a Volvo XC60 AWD also, it was shamed by my Audi S3 on winters., a RWD car on winters will sail past a 4x4 on summers in bad snow...

So these (finally) arrived today. Rims as expected not up to OZ or BBS standard but they're winters so ideal. Fitting early December I think. Temp still hovering annoyingly around the 7deg mark.

Would imagine as you can get EBC yellows, the Reds must be available, don't know for sure as haven't looked. Reds are the equivalent of the Hawk ceramics as I understand it.
