@WellseyRick looks nice but what you really need is this piece of craftsmanship..... cost 2 Dollars Bugis Street markets Singapore 😍 Big Rat

@Fat Boy Made the right choice IMO, the Gtr is without doubt a great car but they are a bit ‘needy’ and the running costs are a fair bit more, and for public road use a Gsf is just as quick....... almost 😉 🐀

@Fat Boy Terence nice very nice, I believe I know that car it wouldn’t be BN66KNK would it ? If so I’ve been pointing people in the direction of her for a while now a great unmolested example. Big Rat

@jawz786 Jay a number of us on here are working on obtaining a space saver wheel, they are available just not in the Uk. As soon as a viable option is available I’ll post up a sticky thread on here. Big Rat -

The last 3 Unregistered GsF’s
Big Rat replied to Big Rat's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Just got back from Lexus Cheltenham having picked up Mrs Rat's car which they serviced and mot'd for her and took care of some MOT failure items, well it is a Ford so presumably it was having one of its ' Frequently Off Road Days'. Anyway great service from them, had a chat with a few of the guys there about what @J Henderson John mentioned about the Grey '10th' Anniversary cars in the UK, well there are 9 here available for sale it's believed to be 6 Rcf and 3 Gsf. They will apparently be available for order in August. The 3 last Gsf's as an aside are 2 Black cars and a Sonic Titanium the Sonic Titanium is allocated to Lexus Cheltenham. @BUG4LIFE made mention of my old isF unfortunately she's gone for auction not sure where, great shame still whoever gets her will be getting a low mileage great overall condition car, they really are difficult car to price and place at times.

Big Rat replied to Big Rat's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
@J Henderson John I believe not, but there is a right hand drive RcF that's been seen at 'Lexus UK Headquarters on UK trade plates. I understand that one of each maybe just maybe at the 10th anniversary meet, date of which as yet still undecided. But I'm at the dealers on Saturday and the DP there is a font of insider info I shall pump him ...... so to speak and try and find out more, if one is available shall I put a deposit down on your behalf........😇 Big Rat -

Think this is one of those threads where one person digs there heels in, bit like defending an indefensible position.......so all I can say further is........ Big Rat

@Flytvr I've just checked the Listers Lexus site and mine is back on there as of today and @Mark G has gone maybe the buyer changed his mind....😂 🐀 -
@noby76 John I'm happy to prove you wrong and it's based on the following experience of driving and qualifications so the experience I have is based on the following......... Driving licences held - Car - Motorcyle- LGV1 -PSV- Tracked Vehicle all for 43 years. My driving history is that I was a class 1 advanced level police driver and instructor and pursuit specialist as well as in a civilian capacity taught vehicle escape and evasion for HM Forces and personal protection agencies. I have driven a huge array of all types of cars not just performance vehicles whether they be RWD/FWD/ALWD, prior to returning to the building trade I worked for Michelin in tyre development as a test driver. So from all this im hoping you will agree I probably know what I'm talking about, and have others have said it's the principles that you have are wrong pretty much all vehicles will squat at the rear to a lesser or greater degree when moving forward depending on the amount of accelerative force being applied but if you are suggesting that any amount of drive is being applied by a FWD vehicle during this is time is hopelessly off the mark. I hope this clarifies the matter. Big Rat

Fitting the Apexi Throttle Controller
Big Rat replied to wantaisf's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
@wantaisf Jim there will be one or two there matey who know it all......... I mean assist you if you need it fella, we are fortunate in having Lexus Cheltenham in our neck of the woods who are happy to assist with non Lexus items they really are a great bunch, but I accept it's probably a little far for you to travel. I see that @ColinBarber mentioned Fensport they have a lot of ongoing experience with both Lexus and Toyota and they in fact ran there own isF for quite sometime, it had an apexi fitted to it good luck after all what could possibly go wrong doing it yourself........

The last 3 Unregistered GsF’s
Big Rat posted a topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Whilst at Lexus Cheltenham yesterday got chatting with another customer who is a long term serial Ls buyer. All his cars are adapted for him by Lexus as he’s disabled, and they are going to do the same for him with a new GsF. So once the last 2 are gone presumably that’s it, i saw that the 66 Black Gsf on the forecourt has sold and finally someone has put a deposit on my old IsF. Big Rat -
Cheap Alternative Tracker
Big Rat replied to tomRCFcarbon's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
I agree fully with both @DAW and @Flytvr you’ve only got to watch any of the tv cop chase type programs to see how much abuse the cars get not worth getting it back, better they torch it after IMO. In fact there is an isF come on sale very recently on Autotrader that is a stolen recovered ....... Big Rat -

RC-F Damper Failure
Big Rat replied to Toothy's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
@Comedian Heard plenty good about these units from Nitron, and was speaking with Alex at Lexus Cheltenham only a few hours ago and he has them on his own Gt86, but his is out of warranty and I'm guessing a suspension swap out would invalidate I believe. 🐀
