I gave up about midday hahaha

Everyone been cleaning today right? 😛

Drive it more 😛 There is guide somewhere for the 450h, as I was looking to remove centre console to run a dash cam wire, but it isn't in my bookmarks. US forums might be a good sourcing point on a guide as well.

You sound very unwell, maybe you should.. stay home 😉

I have seen quite a few RC F and IS F in and around my area. Seen GS F at meets and driven past 2 in my 4 years of ownership, one of which was at a dealer haha!

I live 25mins from Zee Venue, forecast is currently rain all morning but brighter after lunch, so we hoping that changes as I want a dry morning to blast there!

Give the traction control a work out 🤷‍♂️🤣

Mines now worth £50k I'll have you know 🤣

Then I guess we'll just be on different pages of the book 😄

There is doing your job and then there is this. Could be a strat though... to reduce 15k for 'one lucky customer' 🤣

Pics are up, must be the 'GSF' plate that makes the price haha, which has also re-risen to £62990...

Dealer... lazy? 😮🤣 Tbh I like the dealer BS the most, some of the stories and nonsense they will tell to get a sale is unfathomable sometimes! 😛

Fair play and congrats! As you say, it truly is something special. It is most definitely on the 'list' if some money frees itself up to add into the mix. Even the wife likes the look of it!

A little while back there was one up for sale (unsure if Lexus dealer), but through a dealership, a lovely black one but it was absolute swirl city, interior hadn't been cleaned, mats not even shaken to get rid of surface dirt. So sometime I don't hold high hopes. I believe a forum member purchased and immediately had it detailed and the before/ after was magnificent!

Probs just thick... 😆

It begins! £59990, step right up 😆

Something definitely doesn't quite add up for sure. Could it have happened before you changed everything, been unnoticed because it wasn't quite to the cords and then regular driving has pushed it over the edge? Why did you change the bushes, were they knackered?

If it's both, definitely a set-up problem, maybe someone did an oopsie checking the alignment? Without pointing fingers, just a query, can you mess up the bush fitting enough for there to cause this sort of problem?

Mine has not started to show itself on a few edges, must be that sandpaper I use to clean it everytime... fml!

Didn't get round to this, my entire week went to poop and weather hasn't been terribly inviting so I just stared out the window in sadness instead! 😆 Seems as though a few others have supplied answers/ pics 😄

Sounds - bit worse Power - down but doubt you'd really know much difference day to day Torque - down but again, are you really gonna notice day to day Solutions - exhaust 😛

I am 100% not going on the M3 haha, was gonna go for more scenery, say A287 through Odiham and then B3349 for some proper right foot action, hoping minimal traffic. Was gonna suggest Esso on Reading Rd South to meet and probs fuel up. Drop me a message on here or insta and we can co-ordinate a bit better 🙂

I am yet to read anything regarding long term problems. As you have mentioned the only thing that was considered was heat soak, but unless you were chasing some gainzzz I doubt it matters that much. Once you get an aftermarket exhaust, it probably won't matter!

Very interesting re the Eco icon, I had seen you could turn it off but was quite happy for it be active in Normal mode if the conditions demand it. Funny how turning it 'off' doesn't actually do anything.

I never use full Eco mode and by that I mean, using the toggle to switch from normal to Eco, I do however have Eco icon that pops up when driving a certain way in Normal mode. The Full Eco mode did my head in, naff throttle response and lack of willingness to kick down got on my nerves. Even on long cruises I just keep it in normal and stick cruise control on. My day to day driving I get about 24mpg. Had 36 mpg after being stuck in a 50 zone for what seemed like forever. Generally get about 33-34 at national speed limit. I drive in Normal Auto and Sport S in manual, prefer the gearbox and steering behaviour. Sport S+ is good when you know the road is gonna be empty. Few early morning blasts down to Goodwood have been epic, TVD can be awoken! You could be cheeky and remove the vacuum line to the OEM airbox and it'll keep the flap open permanently so you get more noise from the get go. With aftermarket exhaust on, I have the ASC off all the time (although I think it's only actually active in the two Sport modes).
