    Would an ISF space saver not work? i see you are relatively local so can try mine to check fitment

    x pipe will not make it any louder, it just balances the sound frequency as the firing order is inbalanced between the banks

    maybe a silly question but do you have the same tyres on the back as the front? Also another one for tyre pressure, i set mine with a temp gun to make sure i am getting equal heat across the width, 2.9 bar front, 2.8 bar rear, may be slightly different on a RCF but should be close enough as a starting point

    mate dont get me started, my missus is always saying her best friend had one at high school (she is American), she didnt it was a regular IS!!!!!

    i was getting around 32 MPG with cruise control set at 70mph, its a little better after the remap and now get around 36 MPG

    really glad this worked out and they completed my suggested revisions
  9. Twellsie
    exactly the same here

    good to know, mine may have to go up for sale soon if i dont find a job
  11. Twellsie
    i had no idea you could change the distance!!!

    noticed today that there is currently 8 ISF's for sale on eBay, typically there is only 2 or 3, , 8 seems like a lot when you consider they only brought circa 200 in to the country!
  13. Twellsie
    agree with you on most points but have have a few modifications to address some of the issues, Apexi throttle controller, H&S exhaust, BC Racing coilovers, 275 rear tyres 245 front, for me its the best handling car of that era in its category

    CTS quoted me circa £3000 to remove refurb and refit, including fitting the rad flushing system etc, so I'd guess £1500-£2000 for just the refurb. the garage that fitted the new box was pretty confident there was no coolant in the box, the drained the ATF and kept it for me to see and there didn't seem to be any water sitting in the top of the ATF

    Undecided, I really don't have the space for it to honest, open to offers
  16. Twellsie
    nope all good
  17. Twellsie
    yeah thats why the decision was made to pull it out of Lexus, I wasnt confident that they had fully diagnosed the issue, it felt like they were just gonna keep changing parts till they found the issue, it was getting close to £2k in labour at Lexus, so this route was a bit of a no brainer! yeah standard Lexus rad
  18. Twellsie
    not sure to be honest, they stopped communicating, tooling was deffo finished but not sure if they got round to changing it to suit aluminium breather outlet
  19. Twellsie
    Gearbox, fluids, rad assy, came in just over, came in around £2.2k (mates rates on labour)
  20. Twellsie
    after a stressful couple of weeks, the car is now home and runs like a dream!!!
  21. Twellsie
    I got mine today
  22. Twellsie
    Dont know for certain, but Lexus wanted £3700 for the initial repair, but couldnt rule out that it wouldnt need a new gearbox, it worked out cheaper to just fit a new box
  23. Twellsie
    New replacement gear box now home, whipped the covers off to have look inside, couldn't be happier, it is literally like new, ATF is like new and gears look as new
  24. Twellsie
    They know how to charge, 14 hours they quoted me for swapping a gearbox, I have built full engines and installed them in less time,
  25. Twellsie
    Totally agree, i would not touch this with a barge pole (i really hope it doesn't bite someone!), sadly the current era of Lexus cars is well behind the latest modular chassis design, in a car as capable as these its just not worth the risk
