Big Rat

@Bluethunder Hi Nean I am thanx matey hope you and yours are good as well, thought it maybe be useful from all the pictures shouldn’t be difficult for an engineering company to knock up, I guess the space saver it’s attached to is from an IsF, it has a parts label number attached to it but I haven’t checked. Someone more knowledgeable than me on here should be able to verify @ColinBarber perhaps. Take care 🐀

I know there has been much talk on here in the past on this subject and did look into it in depth myself .....finding this in Singapore a few years ago but not obtainable here was this..... Anyway I saw this on eBay the other day that may be of interest to some on here....don’t know if it’s still there but maybe worth replicating.....

@BillNick Matey to answer your calliper colour question .....as someone mentioned my Rcf went to Lexus for a pad change and unfortunately the callipers were damaged so rather than just have them refurbished in black I requested a colour change to Brembo Yellow....to cut a long story short it just didn’t work it proved impossible to get the paint to adhere properly and the callipers were ruined. Anyway they agreed to replace the whole lot for me with brand new + pads. I was given the choice of black or Orange.....as I had researched that the GSF calliper is exactly the same as the RcF same part numbers and only the paint code differs. So I went with the Orange.... And had the wheels in satin black at the same time...... So if you want to go that route less the wheel colour change it’s just short of £5k 😳

I’ve replied matey 👍

If any one is looking for a GSF I know of a 18 plate Blue car with sunroof that came on the market today......apparently not advertised yet 15k mikes 🐀

No matey I was just passing by ...... thought I’d make a mention my transport now is purely work related... In the process of buying another property to play with......as regards another car maybe later.....hope you are well 🙂 🐀

For those that may remember me 🙉🙊🙈 I have a list of 46 Registration numbers of GsF’s complied only one of which is on a personal plate.....many of theses have accompanied photos and videos of the car compiled from various sources......I won’t post up here in it’s entirety...as some are of them contain the vehicles being driven.....how do I put this....in the manner for which they were designed ☺️ Big Rat 🐀

Yes they are meaningless here I checked 😐 Big Rat 🐀

Couple of years ago I took a long hard look at this ........ and yes there was a space saver spare for the RcF and GsF.... But only for.......waiting for this for the Pacific Islands and Singapore I happen to be in Singapore so went to the boutique Lexus dealer there and sure enough there was a space saver in the boot of both cars....I obtained the part numbers and so on and they were in stock in Singapore but only for sale there to residents thereof 🙄 And here it is and the tools and cover..... Big Rat 🐀

@doog442 The Aston V12VS has come and gone .........🙈 As you can see I still have a fetish for yellow callipers 😂 So the current steed is.......... No so good in the twisties but back playing with houses again ..........

@BillNick Sorry don’t have the info now but if you contact any of the main dealer parts department as I did then they should be able to give you the numbers 😊

@Wood Butcher No there was nothing wrong with the black paint finish, I just asked Lexus to do a repaint in Brembo Yellow but there was a reaction of some kind so they simply supplied all new for me under warranty the Orange.

@MNMJ Absolutely right matey it is .......stayed there many times beautiful part of the world......... One more pic you’ll recognise the background 😊

@Wood Butcher Admire your choice yes she was mine.....😊 If you require any info just pm me......the callipers are not painted but are genuine Lexus Gsf Orange ones.... there was a paint issue with the original callipers and I put in a warranty claim for this.....I was given the choice of black or Orange I researched the part numbers and RcF and GsF callipers are EXACTLY the same with only the factory paint code that differs. So you have a unique car in that regard and probably the only UK RcF in that combo......cost for callipers pads and discs was nearly £5k 😳 So memory lane pics for you......

I’m sure you will miss her...... I know I did......... Bought this to console myself back in May.........kept for 6 months before another house renovation beckoned....... Bucket list normally aspirated must have.......😉 Stay safe lockdown to you all 👍 Big Rat 🐀

Just need to get this old cottage finished and on the market matey.....give you a shout for a natter.....nice road trip by the way 👍

@doog442 @Womble72 Yes it is quieter without me around but as Paul knows and Sean @Comedian I’m still alive and kicking but when I want to make some noise I press the right pedal on my newish toy....hi to you all 😊

@finchy40 As others have mentioned not around these parts anymore....... I have looked at the reg number and unfortunately I have nothing on this particular car.....but in the area you mentioned this was around there some years ago but according to DVLA number never issued ?

This may interest some found it in my archive......... the elusive 🐀

Morning Men Sorry for the lack of Rat Responses 🙄 Ive pm’d a few this morning who had some potential purchase questions.... Thankyou all for the kind words yes I’m mourning the lack of an ‘F’ in my life but hey ho see what the future may bring..... I’ve not left the Lexus fold..... this beast is my mobile armchair at the moment...... So all you naughty V8 petrol guzzling .....environment poisoning .....need to realise that this is the future.....I’ve always said this.....🤥🤥🤥......and it was only the likes of that @Flytvr who forced to buy these things🙈🙊🙉😂

@Comedian Looks good in my opinion, wouldn’t work on a black one though 😔 🐀

@Hadrian Know the Kinema well fantastic little place in my childhood town......55 years ago 😳 🐀

Guys I don’t have either of these cars in my database, but have added them now, this picture may help some of what an isF exhaust looks like from ‘the inside’...... Big Rat

@Lydiamight Thanx for the heads up Ray, I’ll make contact, sorry for the late reply. 🐀

@Flytvr No matey they fitted it to my car prior to selling it last week 🐀
