Rusty Crobar

Nice 👍

Really great shots and some cracking memories too i suspect. You lot must have made some noise going through london... 😉

To play devil's advocate, most of the other cars listed have a lot more low down torque that make cars feel lighter on their feet. Also cars like the m4 are tuned to have a very responsive front end which also makes it feel lighter. I re-read evo's group test of the RCF against the m4, c63 and Alfa just last night. It had good things to say about the RCF but said the c63 and Alfa were just more special to drive at maximum attack. I think the RCF is the best long term choice for many reasons but magazine tests only focus on outright driving performance which mostly comes down to power and we can't compete without turbos 😒

I've got another car meet in the morning on Sunday but I'll try and head up about lunch time 👍

I Don't think they do the RC any favours. GSF wheels are my favourite lexus rims (although the design makes them look smaller than they really are), closely followed by the RCF carbon ones 😋

Thanks @Big Rat, the Sunday sounds good 🖒

I don't think recommendations count for much as your price is unique to your specific details. You'll just have to hit the price comparison sites and then check with some of the companies who won't be on them like direct line and Adrian flux. Adding a low risk additional driver might help and be careful how you describe your occupation. Company director might not be the cheapest option. If you are company director for an IT firm for example, you could justifiably say you were an IT manager (or similar) and it might be cheaper. Obviously don't lie, it's more about describing what type of business you are in a bit better. You insurance company will never investigate it anyway! 🤣

Very nice, have thought about one as a family wagon myself but I don't think you can get an auto on the top spec model 🤔

Welcome, what a bargain!

Contact lexus UK and arrange a drag race at the 10 year party! We can throw the ISF, GSF and 220d too 😊

They all look lovely! Just check the paint on the black ones very carefully at the front and the side sills. Lexus paint is very soft and scratches very easily when being cleaned. Good luck.

I like the idea of these but the details aren't quite right. Black out the chrome trim, lower the suspension and fit some special forged wheels and they would look great 😎

Would that be the same stunning car that featured in Modern classics magazine? 😁

It's a fairly complicated area of regulation and not really my area but I believe if the manuacturer simply extends the cover they have to give legally to new cars then this is not treated as an insurance contract so doesn't need to be regulated. Obviously lexus have their reputation to protect so they will probably cover most reasonable situations especially if you kick up a fuss on social media 👍

I've just read the lexus warranty t&cs (it's how I relax on a weekend! ). Here's a few observations about this poorly worded document: No car will be covered if modified in any way except with authorisation from lexus. It doesn't explain what this means but I would guess it would only cover situations where lexus uk have teamed up with an external provider for something like an 'official' sports exhaust rather than any modification on a 2nd hand car sold through the dealership. The standard exhaust is covered but subject to the usual exclusions so not covered for rust or wear and tear etc. It appears to be an unregulated warranty. This means your only route for complaint if the warranty company (called TWG) does pay out is to lexus customer relations and then through the courts. Most non-manufacturer endorsed warranty products are FCA regulated so you can complain to the ombudsmen who should be more sympathetic. Overall I think you have to go on what the t&cs say and don't get the warranty if your car is modified in any way. With the growing numbers of F cars in the UK more and more owners will be wanting louder exhasts this may put pressure on lexus to take another look at this exclusion. 😁

They are great cars but running costs are high for the performance. I didn't mind as it ticked all the boxes for my needs at the time but as soon as I had the money to get the F it was an easy choice. As a daily driver I suppose a 2.5 legacy is more interesting to drive than a is250 (no offence meant to is250 drivers!). Great in the winter too.

V8 for me every time! I think the depreciation will be massive in the first few years (not an issue for PCP buyers) I think values for these will hold up better than other sporty lexi. They are very special looking.

My old 2005 3.0 legacy auto never achieved 30mpg on any trip! The isf will, but not when you enjoy listening to the 2nd intake opening... 😉 @Flytvr dont forget to fill up before you go to the garage or you might not make it home 🤣

Hi Couldn't agree more. I'd suggest waiting for a forum member to put theirs up for sale. Play the long game if you want a good deal. Mine has done 110k miles now and still drives like a dream 😊

Have you seen the JR24 wheel? It's a nice clean 5 spoke. I have Japanracing wheel (a different design) so the should be available in the correct staggered sizes. They're only £1000 and seem decent quality.

Beauiful car and the right colour finally 😉. Glad you'v stuck with lexus so you'll be sticking around making the forum look busy 😁. Looking forward to a ride in KITT B.O. already 👍

Vanishing point starring @Mark G in @Warrington guy's white isf.

Looks nice, would love for you to keep the standard green paint though, my favourite 😍

Looks really nice 👍 What spacers did you use? I' be interested in some if I ever put the standard wheels back on.

Personally I like the red carbon the best, then silver. I'm just not a fan of white cars sorry 🙊🙊🙊 Obviously @Flytvr's car is an amazing machine, I'd just prefer it in a different colour if anyone wanted to buy me one 😁
