@Tfp Tim I'll check my work schedule, I'll check my database on the car in the meantime - thanx. 🐀

@Tfp Tim have you got a reg number of that one, that BCA is only 5 miles from me might pop along and see. Big Rat

@08ISF Graham couldn't agree more it is a bit of a mine field at times sourcing braking components! 🐀

So I’ve had a reply from WRS Motor Factors they are supplied the Brembo orders by the below company in the UK who source them direct from Brembo in Italy. https://brakedepot.co.uk/ Big Rat

@Flytvr You weren't as nice as that to me when I said I fancied one with a red interior........ you say you'd nail certain parts of my anatomy to a revolving door with one of my nail guns..........😳 🐀

@Chafford1 Drove one back last year on extended test it sounded good, played with one at Lexus Cheltenham only yesterday, they are lovely I just can't get my head round the spangly wheels, minor 1st world gripe. 🐀

@Linas.P Linas I went to Hatfield to test that car the day I bought my Rcf from Cheltenham it was a response from the sales guy and his manager we've all heard " We don't give discounts we don't need to " not a penny off it needed 4 tyres which they wouldn't do "2mm is sufficient and within limits" Can I see the service history " Er um it's not complete yet we need to" Blah Blah Blah............As I'm walking away Looked nice but not for me and certainly not from them 🙄 Big Rat

Target customer............🐀

@wantaisf I don’t recall any coming up recently just a case of keep searching the bay and so on, I’ve set an alert for Rcf ones maybe if you do the same 👍 🐀

I shall give my advert a quick bump......again here's what's in my workshop up for grabs........ full advert in fir sale section remember club rules guys.

@Tfp Tim I've checked my car archive and found these for you if you want to know a bit about your cars past pm me, don't worry nothing bad 👍

@Tfp Thanks Matey fantastic colour combo in the UK I believe there is only one other I’ll check my list. Big Rat

@08ISF I’ll pop in to the Motor Factors and speak with Sam when I get a minute, personally I still like this personal contact aspect and I’ll report back. As always with something as important as braking components I think it unlikely an over the counter Motor Factor like them or ECP selling complete rubbish, may not be 100% OEM quality but then neither are the prices. Big Rat

@Flytvr That’s why Lexus got Quicksilver to develop both for the Rcf, my best guess is with the sales figures for these cars it was hardly cost effective for a major player to go your suggested route 🐀

@TfpWellcome to the forum Tim, forum requirement is pictures or instant ban Seriously though if you read through the Quicksilver threads you will see it is loud on a cold start but putting it in gear brings it down to OEM levels. Now the closest member to you that I know of is @Comedian drop him a pm. If you are serious about buying either pm me as I’ve struck up a good relationship with the M.D. there and can assist if you would like that. Big Rat

@08ISF Graham as I understand it all Brembo is made in China nowadays, what isn’t, but my guys source gets them from Italy as you can see from the pics below. Im not surprised some dealers will not fit them they want the markup profits for OEM. I fully accept that and why not I have my own small business and business is business 😁 However if the aftermarket part I’m buying fulfills my needs for the fraction of the cost I know which direction I’m going in. My best guess is the OEM pads are also designed for some track work as well, I don’t track my cars so it’s not a consideration. Here is the box my last isF pads came in from them. Big Rat

@ColinBarber My experience of the ones from here for my isF is that the material is different undoubtedly ceramic and the dust reduction was huge. I used the car with them and there was no discernible difference in performance on the road in normal driving or fast road, I was impressed. Big Rat

@Flytvr Thanx Matey it just so happens to be that they only a few roads from me so when the time comes let me know and I’ll pick some up for you, or anybody else that’s local for that matter. I spoke with Tim Huxley at Cheltenham today and he’s happy for his guyes to fit them as they did for you before, not a warranty issue. 🐀

As we all know from Lexus the pads and discs are not cheap, I had a guy source Brembo pads for the front of my isF last year and have just sorted a another set for @Rusty Crobar for the same price of £72.00 the rears are a little less. Had an email today today from him front pads now released and available in 24 hrs for both the Rcf and Gsf rear pads and front and rear discs will follow shortly. The price for the front pads for the Rcf and Gsf is £55.35 + vat A group buy is a possibility but unlikely so if anybody wants them here's the link ask for Sam or Neil they both know all about. http://wrsfactors.co.uk/contact-us Big Rat

@Jon_B Yes some good times have been had with a lot of discipline and no mishaps and obeying all the 20 30 40 50 mph limits, the police presence in all its form is ever present............ frequently Big Rat

@Jon_B We've been over there before the Welsh Road Guru better known as @Flytvr will be along in a moment to identify, I was sent on my way so they could see how long they could still hear the Quicksilver it was still audible at 2 miles....... here's a picture a while back when we were different car lineup..........all ISF's then 🤗 Big Rat

@C.B Well Thursday nite is a no sleep nite for you then Matey Big Rat

Someone had a minor issue.......... something to do with tyre pressures apparently.......... and white lines.......... Ive no idea who it was.............. 🐀
