    I’m currently using Tesco 99Ron and must say, it’s performing quite well. Have went from 22mpg to 24mpg and car seems to like it. Watched a few YouTube videos recently interviewing car tuners in the UK who really like the stuff due to quality and consistency. Was previously using Shell Vpower but it’s around 10p dearer where I live and do 10,000 miles a year. Going to stick with it for a few months and see how it goes…..

    It most certainly was, I worked there 6-7 years ago. Big business, was good to me though I wouldn’t wish to go back….

    Living in Scotland they are lorries I see on the road regularly, very recognisable. I used to work at a salmon processing site down here in the borders so recognise them well. How many are in the fleet? I currently work at a maltings and we have approximately 40 currently, makes you proud to see the brand in the road!

    Being a professional driver, how does it affect the ownership experience of a car like the RCF? Do you ever find yourself sick of driving? I must admit, It’s one of those jobs I’ve always been intrigued by but never been able to try!

    B1 lancer is such a cool plane!

    Silver wheels look so good!! Lowering it makes such a difference to stance too doesn’t it!

    Brave comment, no such things as better than Solar Flare! Depends what your after I suppose, if everyone liked the same stuff things would get boring pretty quick!
  8. Jgtcracer
    I agree, shocking!! I would have thought we would be far further up than that!!

    Looks good, must say the facelift front end is an improvement and wish they did the RCF with a Tan interior! Looks really good, orange callipers too! Got a favourite gadget so far? We must all have them……. Rear wing switch for me (though I’m mentally 7!)

    I travel down the A1 from the north so assuming traffic isn’t too bad then it’s going to be about the same distance as along the A19. I’m looking forward to it now, wife will be pleased with locality to the metro centre!

    Good choice, my car is lowered and if I had a splitter too then it would 100% be getting damaged.

    I read ‘least popular’ as most exclusive!!

    Mesa red is a fabulous colour, though I’m a tad biased. I wouldn’t necessarily be put off by an import either, rather judge each car individually as there will be rough UK cars out there too

    Think Lexus only ever went as big as 19” on the RC and at that size tyres are 35 profile (I think). I run spacers to adjust offset and can get intermittent arch rubbing if I hit a bump a bit hard. With the right ride height 19” looks fine!

    Got a text message from Lexus this morning claiming they were Newcastle were relocating on the 1st June, anyone heard about this?
  16. Jgtcracer
    Beautiful...car looks good too!

    I’ve a 2018 car with the updated MM and Lexus said that I’m not eligible for CarPlay. Got a £300 unit and fitted it myself, absolutely fine.

    I’ve had a few sealed for life batteries that have a cover that when popped off give access to battery cells for topping up. Kind of besides the point mind you, would expect DHL to do better.

    I certainly think they use their discretion with the waiver, at my recent recall visit they said they weren’t going to charge me for use of the hire car. Didn’t even get the option to pay it.
  20. Jgtcracer
    That fuel economy really is rough, I’m getting 21-23mpg average in the RCF. I really struggle to understand how it’s that bad, physics shouldn’t allow it! Is the engine used in other cars?
  21. Jgtcracer
    How orange was it? The press photos look a burnt orange, quite different to Solar flare. Jury is out for me, though as with most brave colours I bet it looks awesome in the flesh!
  22. Jgtcracer
    I must admit my favourite sounding cars are all V10s. Carrera GT, LFA and R8 V10. Unfortunately I think they will continue to be unattainable for me throughout my life and can’t imagine we will see many more N/A V10s at this point….
  23. Jgtcracer
    Sorry to hear about that, seems a shame if it’s still a strong car underneath! Will you be considering another GSF?
  24. Jgtcracer
    I was at Newcastle last week hoping to have a drive of that car!! Now I know why it wasn’t there…..

    Spend a little time this weekend playing with the induction set up and am going to trial an open filter configuration as shown in the picture. It’s going to be the most free flowing and highest induction roar, though most susceptible to heat soak. I’m going to see how I get on over next week or two and report back. Initial thoughts are it sounds good and seems to pull harder at the top end, with no noticeable reduction throughout the Rev range, hard to tell though as I love the sound!
