  1. All, I'm due for car insurance renewal in coming few weeks and am finding that with no changes to my circumstances, policy re-quotes are coming in approx 60% higher than last year! I can only assume one of the below has occurred. I've moved to Gaza - Not too convinced as its raining outside and is quieter than I would expect. People are stealing/damaging RC-Fs left, right and center - Also not convinced, though could be linked to point 1 above. The industry have arbitrarily bumped everyone's premiums us under the guise of 'inflation and increased costs' Discuss.....
  2. I’ve had gold/bronze wheels before but think it would look daft on mine. Looks good on your car but there are lots of colours that work on yours. I’m leaning towards black but can’t help think silver is nice too!
  3. The OEM wheels are gunmetal grey and although I like them, they look a bit flat…. Your car looks good but perhaps it’s the orange that makes it look different.
  4. My 2018 RCF is starting to suffer with lacquer peel on a few of the wheels and as a result feel I'm going to be getting them painted this spring. I've swaying between a bright silver and black. Any advances/opinions on either of these? Ive attached a couple of photoshopped pics for reference (middle is the OEM finish)! I like the silver as it looks clean and OEM+, though the black appeals to the racer in me! Think I'm going to struggle to refurb to OEM spec due to the polished face and my location.....
  5. @Linas.P that’s quite a response, couldn’t agree more…. @Dibo201 I’d suggest doing a pre wash snow foam and two bucket method as mentioned above as a good start…. Paint correction and ceramic coating would be my way to go if you want to go deeper but expect to clean every weekend it if you want the car to look it’s best all summer!
  6. Not done the mod on an ISF but have used Mocol thermostatic sandwich plates and coolers with AN fittings. They were good and reasonably priced….
  7. I personally think it’s not a particularly good idea if you’re worried about resale value. The market for an ISF is already small, modifying the seats will just make the pool smaller. I’m 6’3” and didn’t have many problems in mine, would you consider custom seat rails?? Retain original seats whilst getting them right where you want them….
  8. I assume there is no conversion harness that can be used for this then? Barring having access to the wiring diagrams for both I can imagine it will be a struggle....
  9. Good news, I take the car to Lexus Newcastle at the moment but Edinburgh is actually closer. May give them a go next service…..
  10. I would if it’s regional or a first come first serve basis? I rang up and got it done in no time without cancellations…. Seems a little hit/miss. Even if you consider all the different models affected, you think parts would be readily available by now, it’s not like Lexus don’t know how many they need!
  11. Interesting list that, RC-F really is quite similar, just with a different engine. Id like to have had the option to have tan leather….
  12. Right, I forget that hybrids have components I’m not familiar with. Certainly with a traditional ICE car, I’d maybe be a bit closer but my experience of hybrids is somewhat lacking…… Consider myself reeducated!
  13. Not much help with the breakdown but love the number plate!! I too would check the simple stuff first and from experience check the 12v battery…….. Good luck
  14. It’s also worth noting that for an RC-F, they recommend a rear diff oil change, I think at 4years…..
