You do realise it's not quite April 1st yet ?

Have you tried a plastic polish like Novus ?

No, inappropriate speed kills.

No, stopping quickly does the killing 🙂

I saw a counter argument for this legislation this morning which is quite interesting; a current posted speed limit is only the maximum for that road based on ideal conditions. You as the driver should still asses the conditions and regulate your speed appropriately. By installing this technology and taking any thought process away from the driver does it just mean that more drive around with their foot to the floor expecting the car to regulate their speed to the type of road?

I’ve a Japanese mate, he’s said your looking at atleast £2k to get the limiter removed and then there’s the dash/speedo to deal with.......my son was interested BUT has now obviously been put off it.

Ouch, just looked this up and this is the correct HKS SLD for the ISF https://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product_db/electronics/db/14161  and it is indeed quite expensive.

One other thing I noticed - UK car automatically gets valued at £13500, whereas import was £7669. So I guess ... good luck agreeing value on import.

Neither of those particular companies will pay you what you quote as the value anyway. In the event of an accident they will play the game of undervaluing and hoping you accept the payout, AMHIK !

How do insurance companies view imports? ( any excuse to up the premium I guess, but on what grounds?)

 

As long as you go to a specialist it will be a non-issue and your premium should be the same as the equivalent UK spec version.

Have you actually read the codes with a code reader ?

Not all codes illuminate a CEL on the dashboard. 

How much was it out of interest?

I really don't bother what other thinks of me as long they don't pay my bills.

Obviously you do otherwise you would never have made such a post. 

I would advise that you grow a back bone, it is your money and your choice nobody else's.

The only person I would listen to in such circumstances is my wife as to a slight degree she can be impacted, but the choice is still ultimately mine. 

When you do buy the LS and the next time you are planning to go somewhere with the in-laws make sure you insist that they take their own car as obviously the wouldn't want to be seen going anywhere in a Lexus. 

Looks nice and the wheels match well. 

Will be interesting to hear your feedback after a few track sessions. 

A shame as looks like a lot of time and money spent on it 

GLWS!

When I checked the required pressure for tyres it says 25 ! 

Are you sure it's not 2.5bar ? (No way it's 25psi)

Yep, those who spout unfounded facts as gospel.

Don't believe that's diamond cut that's shadow chrome in colour and very difficult to match. Normally a darker base then the lighter over the top.
 

Agreed,

Speak to your local Lexus dealer they have many years experience of dealing with damage on these wheels and will have a preferred smart repair agent who should be able to get a close match on the colour.

maybe check the manufacturers websites for opinion and advice ?

Malc

You mean the manufacturers who make a profit every time you buy a tyre? 

OMG.....Rattle cans 

£153.77 on Amayama.com, of course you will have to pay transportation and some duty costs, but maybe cheaper than sourcing from US

Yes, several times, the problem keeps occurring. 

Ok, so maybe helpful if you let people know what you have and haven't tried in future.

Agree with Nemesis get somebody to take a look who can read the sensors. Can always pop into your local dealer and see if they will take a quick look for you.

Have you tried resetting the TPMS yet as suggested ? 

If not you are just wasting peoples time if you choose to ignore suggestions.

If you've checked the pressures, when cold and all is correct, the pressures are as suggested on the door pillar label, then I'd suggest resetting the TPMS using the button on the lower dash panel.

Yep, try this.

Nice car.Has the bonnet been repainted or was it that colour from the factory?

It's an RCF Carbon, it is Carbon fibre from the factory. 

Very nice indeed 😎

Enjoy it !!

I could be wrong, but the back of that car doesn't really look like an RCF IMO.

Agreed, that is one of the best colour combinations I have seen on the LC so far, or maybe that interior with the white exterior. How would you say the driving experience compares to your RCF ?
