I was 275 on the rears on both offsets. I had to shave down on +35. I'm not sure about 265's. I sold those wheels to a guy I still talk to. I'll see what he did tyre spec wise and if any arch work was undertaken.

Hey, No modifications brakes wise. I will try to get a better image of clearances, to help you decide. I'm 9.5" all round and ET35 (I like the wide stance and wanted a square set up). I had similar style wheels with an ET38 set up which was also good for clearances.

I then obtained an RCF gator to modernise the interior a little....

More carbon parts added to the list....

Oh wow, I'm in Cambs. May see the car out and about if you do any events.

Congratulations mate. Welcome to the club. Great purchase. Whereabouts are you in the UK?

Haha if it is from Hamilton that will be freeky if it ends up with me being that's my surname 😆😆

Hey Andy, Yup brought back headers in a spare case. Read up on what you can bring back auto wise, and only fluids were a concern, of which I wasn't transporting any. I paid for an extra case and just took it with me and prayed. Granted I never had the receipts or any documentation with me for the headers. I sent those via post, to myself at home. That way there was no way of Boarder control adding VAT to an unknown price of product. They were essentially 'used' and a 'friends'. I've been 10 times to the States, never been caught in customs and always had goodies with me. Engine mounts are not too bad but you will notice them. I'm on very stiff suspension so you know the modification has been made, but it's not my daily nor an issue to me. Nothing that's too off putting at all and I'd say even less noticeable on standard spring set ups. I don't have a Sikky prop, although I am hoping that a carbon prop may find its way to me soonish 🤞🏼

I'm pretty close and have debated going black. Can you PM me some pictures? Thank you

Where are you in the UK?

The only 2014 in the country, but sadly I think only a current ISF or previous ISF owner would understand that. Hopefully it gets sold, but it's in the wrong country. They'd go mental in the States for that!!

With the used car market tumbling, it would certainly make sense. Bar the LFA, Lexus don't make a car that will dodge the ups and downs of the market.

ISF I assume?

I drove through France and Belgium with a straight piped GS430. The car was even checked over by police at a services as it was on airride and decked at the station. It only had admiring attention and one of them recorded me leaving. Leaving Belgium, the police attention was high due to the event we were at and we had no issues. Bar the obvious (speeding and being an ASBO in built up areas), which I'm assuming you don't, you'll be fine, trust me.

Yes you can.

That's awesome mate! I said to a friend of mine that the upgrade made the car feel like a more modern powered sports saloon. It's the best upgrade I think you can do, especially adding the the USRS bushes at the front, that changed the steering like you won't believe. So glad you got it on the car!

The eternal quest is to make the ISF as light as possible for this exact reason. Lexus make 'lardy' cars, so I can't imagine that will change with this new attempt. It'll have the numbers, look the part, but will need some weight loss to be truly enjoyed, especially if they're trying to put it in the same bracket as the GR Yaris (which it won't match). Personally I'd love to see Lexus capitalise on their RCF GT win and go down a similar route with the F range, as Toyota have with the GR, but all hope for another decent sporty car from Lexus vanished when they went all SUV in Europe, bar the sluggish and Titanic sized ES. I do live in hope though!

The whole F range is overweight because they won't compromise on comfort, so I'd imagine the same with this. It's not to say it won't be nice and fun, just not GR Yaris fun.

Hey mate, sorry I never replied to this, I didn't get a notification. I wouldn't say it's obnoxiously loud bar a cold start, first 10 seconds or so it's very loud in the garage with the doors open. If you put it in gear instantly it goes quiet. Once the cold start cycle ends it's fine. I love it and it's a nice V8 noise, not ASBO noise.

Would be a great run around instead of using the ISF all the time!

Spotted a blue ISF this morning heading into Cambridge from Sawston direction. Any one on here?

That's great news. Seems like the place to go in the UK for it, for those not wanting the DIY route!

Good price? Any damage caused to the injectors?
