I don't know the specifics of the ISF conversions but generally I would think you would have more heat issues compared to a supercharger due to increases in boost temps and because it's driven by exhaust gases. Turbos generally need oil/coolant supply also and they will add heat to the respective systems. With regard to a blow off valve, you will either need a dump valve to atmosphere or a recirculating type but without either then compressor stall can occur when coming off throttle. This increases wear on the turbo. Superchargers tend to run lower boost that turbo set ups so may be a little more gentle. Similarly, the install can be a little less complicated to complete. Running higher boost tends to need a change of compression and block work which isn't needed for the supercharged route initially. We all know you can get 600bhp+ from supercharger set up so can't see you needing much more than that. Added to the fact it's proven reliable then your can't go wrong. The 420bhp the car already has is more than enough for me where I live, any more is a waste. A guy I that lives near me had a C63 with around 500bhp and he can't catch me on the back roads as he just wheel spins. All just my opinion obviously but I bet you bust the car somehow if you try to turbo. Marcus3 points

Get him a Renault Clio, just like other new drivers starter car. If he doesn't slum it to start with, he won't appreciate the niceties of a Lexus when he's older.2 points

Hi everybody! I'm currently looking for a new daily driver to complement a small collection of Honda toys and I fell in love with the IS-F. I registered here to learn more about those cars and what to be wary about when browsing, and maybe to find an IS-F owner who's considering parting with his car? I'm based in West Midlands.1 point

Make him work to save up the cash? Getting given stuff induces carelessness. Heard a neighbour's kid utter 'Oh, my Dad will just buy me another' once........1 point

I Agree with red Steve - I have had the same problem before - a bit of brute force usually does the trick1 point

Hello Norman. I assume your air filter is positioned just behind the headlight. If so, you are probably not doing anything wrong, it can just be a real pain to get the big round clip located properly. I can remember I changed my filter once and I took me almost half an hour to get the clip seated right. Thankfully it is not like that every time, sometimes I get lucky and it seats properly first time. Just have another go, if you start getting frustrated walk away and go back in 10 minutes, you will succeed in the end. Steve1 point

Replaced the bulbs yesterday, quite a stunning improvement, difficult to know if the bulbs are better or if the old ones were just dimming with age. Actually a very easy job.1 point

Each to their own, but this is exactly how I feel1 point

If you remove the 2 bolts under these caps (10mm) you can slide the rear light unit out. To refit make sure the light unit slides in under the clip on the side of the body and refit bolts. Simple job. If I could only say the same about the bumper removal haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1 point

Phil, The various posts refer to the GS450h dampers not GS300. These are much cheaper. John1 point

Dunno mate. She doesn’t strike me as the sort of girl that needs cooled seats - so may not fit in, and get unjustifiable attacked by another member.1 point

I get it on my RX too. Lots of trees around me and it's an algae growth I think. I use an old toothbrush to get into the nooks and crannies.1 point

Lovely! I watched this recently. Doug DeMuro's videos are great, he chats about all the little details you'd only ever find out about if you owned the cars. Worth checking out some of his other stuff if you like this too.1 point

It baffles me how Adrian Flux do any business; I’ve never been able to get a sensible quote out of them. I’ve always lived in decent areas, not done many miles, generally been a low-risk driver. They’ve always flat out refused to quote me (as I’m a young driver in a powerful car - I was 27 and had a diesel Mondeo) or quoted such a sky-high price, not even Bill Gates would consider it! I’d put your details into a comparison site, choose the top 3, then get quotes from them directly. End of the day, all insurance companies can be bad or good to deal with - it’s just luck of the draw. You might as well save a few quid.1 point

Just got home after another day of brilliant service from Lexus Liverpool.. think they will be glad see the back of me😂. Some photos of it in the showroom and one of it in its new home.. Didn't stay white for long that's for sure! So happy with it and can't wait to get involved with you lads on the forums and at events. Thanks all for your kind words ❤️1 point

Great story and credit to Lexus Liverpool. When I picked up my F from Lexus Stoke I noticed a lack of fuel in the car. The salesman said “There’s a supermarket not too far away and you can get fuel there”. Quality1 point
