I found an online parts place called 'win parts' - it seems to have everything, discs and pads for front and rear, when I check mine next, might take the plunge and see if they are any good as the prices are reasonable. Hadn't mentioned them on here before now as i don't usually like to point people in directions I've never been. If you are feeling lucky, might be worth a shot? 😄

Be good to get the GTHaus cars back together 😉 break up the fart cannons 😛

Hello F-ers, happy new year and all that, my resolution is to attend more car meets... 😛 with that being said, there is, as the title suggests a 'German vs Jap' meet group, attended one in December and it had good variety. Anyway they have secured a larger meet venue, first one being tomorrow at Sandown Park Racecourse (you can find the event and group on facebook), just a general message to see if anyone local fancied attending or any future meets for that matter. It is a static show (as part of the agreement with the racecourse), so no risk of clowns hopefully... 😉 Starts at 9am, £4 per car, passengers are free. Maybe see some of you there/ at future events?

Make them an offer if you would genuinely take it at £40k 🤷‍♂️, never hurts to ask!

I'm a keen bean, be good to put some cars to faces 😉

I would say this is a must watch and well worth 16mins of your time, the Japanese are just something else!

Amen.

I thought as much, just making sure I didn't make a fools assumption 😛

Hello F-ers 😉, looking to replace or upgrade my brake discs on my GSF, it would seem most places I've looked at online just detail RCF discs/ pad sets. Just making sure I don't make a F-up but are the RCF discs the same as the GSF? Any recommendations for aftermarket ones appreciated 😄 Shiny wheel and caliper pic attached for fun 😛

My dad runs all weathers year round on his RX, as he wasn't keen on picking up another set of alloys. No complaints so far!

No J turns in the snowy car parks? 🤣🤣

I agree, I'm down south too. I ran the GSF with summer tyres over last Xmas period, whilst the road wasn't too problematic other than a few untouched back roads, my main issue was getting out of my damn road! I'm potentially getting a run around hatchback and will stick all weathers on it for the few days us southeners get of 'winter' weather 😛

On a side note, any one running winters on their F/ has done in the past? 😄

Have always enjoyed this (in my opinion) underrated channel, quite an informative video. Been in the winter/ all season tyre fan group for sometime since doing a driving course many years ago, but I like the controlled environment utilised in this video for a more valid test and a bit of an eye opener. Enjoy 🙂

Only clip I have of the car not static, courtesy of someone else from a meet I attended the weekend, this was only to about 5k revs as the car had been sat for a few hours and was not fully warm. Gives an idea of what valves open sounds like for me driving to work each day... I'd be lying if i said i wasn't addicted to the go faster pedal! GSF_pull.mp4

It’s an affliction I too am guilty of 😂

So this bad boy has now come down to £45k and is simulatenously on sale at 2 dealers, for different prices.... witchcraft I tell ya! 🤣

Sooooo many variables to even remotely have a chance of taking a 'case' to Lexus I'm afraid. Could I ask does the dyno run make any difference to you/ the love of the car and just interested to know exactly what case you would make to Lexus (not a salty post btw, just genuinely intrigued) 🙂

DC2 seemed too boy racer for me (despite still being in my 20's, haha), although I would probs drive that and a DC5 and see what gets me tingling 😛, any major problems I should be aware of/ things to look out for? Feel free to pm me, appreciate your time 😄

be interested in your thoughts about these, i've been adding a lot to my watch list on ebay, quite fancy one for some weekend fun and to give the GSF some mileage breaks, but I actually have no idea what im looking for/ at 😄

Not a fan of soft tops... if it were hard top like the SC430 times, would be more my thing, the concept wheels have disappeared 😞, hope they become an option!

I retract my sub 10k enthusiasm offer if its a non-runner... 🤣, be interested to see what it goes for and if the future owner joins the forum, then we can all be really nosey about it 😛

I treat my neighbours to a 7:15am open valve start up, especially if they've been obnoxiously loud the previous night... 😛, when we had snow at start of the year, I did manage one J-turn at the bottom of the road, couldn't make it out the top of the road mind, due to the ice, was most definitely worth a try though!

Hurts the soul... sub £10k and I'm in hahaha! 😛

Give it til March 2020 haha! 😛
