TOFTT on Exhaust
FTBBCVoodoo replied to FTBBCVoodoo's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
They are for my new thread... "You drive a V8 what tea do you drink while waiting in traffic deciding whether to put it in D, N or P while also musing over whether the foot brake should be used at least once a week" ;-) -
TOFTT on Exhaust
FTBBCVoodoo replied to FTBBCVoodoo's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
A boot full of noise ready for the Fox exhaust to be fitted tomorrow. I am using a new type of padding to protect it. Yorkshire Gold tea bags. Will post some pics once fitted and get some sound clips when I get a moment. I got impatient and installed the Takeda intake last week so hopefully it won't overpower the exhaust from inside the cabin (intake sounds ace btw) -
Anyone know this ISF?

Your F.......... in the SUN!

Thought so. It's just very far away ;-) -

Is that a white Aygo Carbon edition ;-) -
Gotta love the Lfa
FTBBCVoodoo replied to Big Rat's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
When you consider that a Lotus Carlton was up for sale for 150k and the Shederra Cosworth can go for 100k then that looks like a bargain. -
Quick Silver Sounds RCF
FTBBCVoodoo replied to a topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
@DAW worked for me after quick download. Sounds amazing. -
Same. I don't think Lexus make a bad colour tbh. My personal favourite is the titanium grey type colour that the GSF comes in. I would hate to think what would happen if they did a BMW style individual option. "Here we have a stunning horse manure brown RCF with Camels ***** Leather with wooden inserts topped off with 20" White diamond cut F sport alloys"

F Engine Oil and Usage
FTBBCVoodoo replied to C.B's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
After track days I found my oil level dropped to just above minimum. Normal driving between yearly outings on a track, no oil used at all. Not sure on what dealer uses. I am quite fussy about oil changes and get my mate who runs a garage to change the oil every 5k between Lexus Dealer 10k services. I have run Motul and Mobil 1 other than what Lexus supply. Motul she ran higher oil temps than Mobil 1. Will be sticking to Mobil 1 between services from now on. -
The what’s happened to Ratty thread

So was it theory 1 or 2 ? -

Well that killed the thread. Thanks Fun Anchor (which is a name normally reserved for my wife). I was looking forward to the suggestions ;-) -

Theory 2 - He is having his yearly dose of sun block applied so he can work on the building sites topless working on his tan. This will allow him to wolf whistle any females walking by (or males) and shout "oi oi girls" (or boys) without fear of sun burn, sum stroke while also helping to prevent against skin cancer. -
Yep. Although I contacted Fox direct to order mine as I wanted to see what other tip options they were besides the 2 offerings from dc. Emailed them 1st off and response times were good. Was quite specific that I wanted the quad round 90mm Type 25 slash cut tips in black which bumped up the price but managed to get 10% off exhaust total + free shipping to UK. If you just wanted the standard silver setup then probably cheaper to go via dc perfromance. Did some digging around background of company and they appear to also make the exhausts for some Mercedes tuners in Germany (Carlsson and Piecha) so appear to be a decent outfit. Also their website allows a 360 tour of their manufacturing plant. All looks very professional.... and German ;-)

Akrapovic exhausts are incredible but their cost model is crazy. They use (at least they did) the same cost model as when they only made bike exhausts. The exhaust would always cost 10% of what the bikes retail price was. They transferred the same cost model to cars.... So for an RCF you would be looking at around 5k :-(

Rcf exhaust options
FTBBCVoodoo replied to Stuno1's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
@Stuno1 Will let you know how mine sounds (ISF obvs) but..... https://www.dcperformance.co.uk/uprated/fox-exhaust-backboxes/lexus/rc-f.html Video as well -
A different type of F car but a friend of mine used to have a Ferrari 458 with a Tubi Style exhaust. If ever there was a perfect engine note that must have been it. A colleague also had a SuperSprint fitted to a Maserati GranTurismo. That sounded stunning as well although it always sounded like it was going faster than it actually was. It's a shame that Milltek don't make exhausts for the F cars as they generally offer resonated and non-resonated exhausts depending on customer needs. I have never heard a bad one. I used to have a full resonated Milltek on my old 350z and it sounded gorgeous but you couldn't really hear it from inside the car :-( My old boss has a non resonated Milltek fitted to his Audi S5 and it sounds like a V8 should :-) I also believe that Milltek work out the perfect back pressure for the exhausts before working on the sound so there is some science behind it. I did a fair amount of research before choosing the German Fox Exhaust route and it's a bit different. I will post some vids/clips when my German Jungen Rennfahrer exhaust arrives and gets fitted :-) All comes down to personal preference but I would take any exhaust note over a Tesla's :-)
