On track with the isf
Rusty Crobar replied to Rusty Crobar's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
@Chuckie478 he's a much more experienced driver but towards the end of the day I was keeping up with him. The F had really good grip and didn't step out on my all day, apart from launching out of the hairpin 😎. The M3 took a quick trip in the kitty litter though... And yes @Big Rat I would do it again in a heartbeat 🖒 -
Had an awesome day at Mallory Park on Sunday. There were some hardcore cars and drivers there so the first few sessions were spent getting out of their way! After some tuition from a professional and some practice I felt as quick as I was comfortable with and even overtook some of the cars that were all over me in the morning 😀 The car was amazing, brakes didn't fade once, temperatures were steady and the Michelins were like chewing gum. A few people were interested in the car, not sure if any of them knew what it was though! Luckily with my exhaust people knew it was something interesting. Lots of people said my car and a C63 were the best sounding cars out of the 60 that were there 😊 I'm trying to get some photos from the professional photographerwho was there but in the meantime here's me and my mate's stunning M3...

Yes thanks. After 100k my paintwork is shot but the detailer did a good job. Basically I really need a respray but most people will think it looks about perfect now! Sadly I had to drive back in the rain so it may have lost a bit of shine by the time I get to the canock meet 😣

My car is at the detailer right now, hope it comes out like the American one!

Shipping Car to the UK
Rusty Crobar replied to Defratos's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Wow @Defratos love every one of your mods and looking forward to seeing what you have lined up in the future. Might be worth you trying the car on UK roads before planning more suspension mods. If you only do low mileage then you might not care but they get a bit rough in places! -

I like it but you could have guessed that 😁 -

All uk cars have a rear fog light so you'll need to get one fitted. -
Details on this ISF
Rusty Crobar replied to Wellsey's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
The forecast is good but always expect rain in Wales! I'm working all day sadly but keep an eye/ear out for me on my commute! Also stay out of the way of a fast moving stealth bomber, also known as a veloster, as Mrs crobar is on the roads tomorrow too, she doesn't take any prisoners even V8s are no match for her 💀 -

Just you wait until Saturday, you'll see how good a black car looks when it's clean (although it'll probably already be dirty by the time I get there 😂) -

And definitely worth waiting for a black one... 😉 -

It's a wonderful car to drive everyday! Built like a tank but so easy to drive. I treated mine with a lot of respect to begin with but it really is a safe car to drive quickly and a lot of fun 😊 -
New tyres needed

Has anyone tried the Bridgestone and Michelin? Always liked Goodyear F1's 😊 -

She's has to earn her keep, Michelin star meals don't grow on trees you know...🤑 -
Cannock meet this saturday.

Can't wait. Think it kicks off at 2pm but think we'll probably be earlier than that. -
ISF Pictures, just ..... because
Rusty Crobar replied to DT_Racing's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Down the coast from Ogmore, south of Bridgend. The roads are a bit rough and not great for driving but nice location for photos and doughnuts on the grass 🍩 I would have taken more pics but my phone died 😑 -

Glad you like the wheels, I really wanted an OEM look but with a better stance. Bit of a gamble but I like it which I guess is what counts 😀. All of my photos are taken on my Galaxy S5 so the results are hit and miss but these came out ok with an instagram filter on them 😉 -

I like that, not sure about the price though 😯 -
Why is my insurance so high?
Rusty Crobar replied to La_Lucha's topic in Lexus Insurance Discussions
Hi, it's also worth remembering that insurance tax has increased recently and accounts for nearly 10% of the price. Plus the new ogden rate change has been in the pipeline for a while so insurers have slowly been increasing prices to cover the millions it's going to cost them. If none of your details have changed and you are getting higher prices from everyone then shows that prices are going up generally 😔 There is no easy way to make it cheaper although it helps to make sure you have a low risk driver named on the policy, don't overestimate your annual mileage, and have access to another vehicle. It's also worth checking your occupation as this can make a difference. Most jobs can be described in several different ways and each can give a different price. -
Wait until you hear them! 😍 Looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out some of the other lexus models, the F is my first one!

Just fitted them to my wife's veloster to try an curb her wheel spin habit 🙈. They're still bedding in but I'll let you know how they are soon! -
My car had BCs fitted when I bought it and I think they're great. My springs seem too soft and it does bottom out occasionally, it is running quite low though. I'm currently run full hard on the back and will be turning the fronts up too this weekend. It's a crude solution but it provides much better control with still decent ride quality. Hitting the track next weekend so will try a few combos to see how they affect the handling. I'd like to try some Swift springs with them but trying not to spend any more money at the moment 😁
