Flytvr

Yes I would. However, having said I’d like to rag a GSF, this would leave me with such a burning feeling of guilt, knowing the car wasn’t mine. Committing a brazen act on hallowed ground such as Goodwood (or similar), I would expect a suitably harsh penalty! 😀 🐐🏃‍♂️

I’d love to give a GSF a good spanking on a private road or airfield!

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Looks great 😀 I missed it - was attending the Kemble meet 😢

Just treat it as a blockbuster movie, switch off an enjoy 😊 That’s what I do. That reminds me, I’ve got to get the chimnies cleaned as Santa is only 8 or so days away 😀

I think it’s of an IS220d.

That is exactly what I did!!!!

I owned the fastest IS300 in history!!

But do turn it off at the traffic lights 😜

You need BLUE! @Mark G

The RAF used exactly these techniques in Harrier and Tornado cockpits. 😀

You are right @Warrington guy. I’ve kicked it out!!

I’m thoroughly enjoying series two. Prefer it to series one. If I could change anything, I’d dump the star guest bit.

Right stop this now. Right. Stop this now. We all know that GT86 parts will transfer directly to the RCF!!! 😜

And that’s funny too!!!! 😀

Yes. When I bought my IS-F I got three years thrown in

Now that’s funny!!!!!! 😀

Oooooo. I’d love a V80 Volvo...... still one of my Autotrader alerts!!

I don’t think I’ve been above 4000 rpm in the last few weeks 😢

Yes, they can be juicy. RC-F seems more frugal.

You could even use the seats - they are exactly the same.........

That made me laugh!

Firstly, I'm probably the least technical person on this forum - by a mile, so all my views are based on my experiences during ownership and those of many other F drivers (who I meet on a regular basis). With regards to the radiator, all I can say is that one member had his replaced - can't recall why, but Lexus Japan didn't even have any in stock. It had to be made!!! I'd be careful assuming that parts for the IS-F are easily swappable with IS parts. As an example, my IS-F had a leak from the air conditioning system. Replacement pipe was IS-F specific. Time to fix, several months as the part had to be ordered from Japan. Who'd have thought the pipework wasn't just off an IS (or other Lexus)!! In summary, unlike the world of BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc, there simply isn't an abundance of independent garages with knowledge of the IS-F, so when things go wrong, most of us will have to resort back to using the main dealers. This will never be cheap. Of course there are those talented individuals that will engineer fixes, make their own radiators in their back shed, rob pipework from the washing machine to fix the air con etc etc, but whichever way you look at it, this is a pain.

I think that’s an optimistic view. As an experiment Ask Lexus to quote you for a replacement radiator.

As we’ve discussed before mate, I think the IS-F could become a very expensive beast to run. How long will this take, who knows. Let’s face it they are still going VERY strong! 😀
