Our mini ISF meet

Good to meet you today Mark - pic of you on the starting grid .

Sounds like a good result - did you have to calibrate it and if so what procedure does that involve ?

What was the problem with engine light ? Sounds a sore one to take .

I had something very similar with an RX450H that my wife had . As you say it was like driving a bus - in fact it was undriveable when it did happen . I had to switch off and start up and it would usually disappear for a short period but returned again soon afterwards . Ended up getting towed to Lexus dealers and they ran some software update or something similar , charged an hours labour and it never came back . Mind you it was very dangerous when it did happen and she had lost faith in it so we got rid of it . Shame really since was otherwise good to us . It had relatively high miles of around 120k when that happened . Hope that helps because the alternatives I was thinking of involved new steering rack at from memory around £2.5k so for once I was actually happy that dealer did not suggest that - a local independent had suggested that might be required .

Finally got around to fitting takeda air filter that i bought about 18 months ago . Been putting it off thinking it might be complicated but was pretty straightforward . Took me about 40 minutes and 10 of them were trying to get the MAF sensor off which should have taken about 2 seconds . I reckon I could do it next time in around half the time . Not sure if it will make any difference at all sound wise - haven't run the car yet since and not expecting any performance gains but glad to have it fitted to at least try it out .

No problem . I wouldn't mind a set like these too . Not even sure that I would sell the spare set since my plan was to keep them for winter wheels .

I might have a set of OEM wheels but they are the bladed ones if of any interest. Still on the car just now and need refurb but I have got a Refurbsihed set to put on . Obviously won't be doing that in current circumstances .

Sad to hear Qamar . I hope you are on the road to recovery yourself .

Good to see you finally found one .

I haven't had the luxury of having ever driven a new one but it drives no different from when I bought it at 81k miles .

I had a IS200 and had a TRD supercharger installed almost immediately and had it on the car for about 2 years . The kit cost me £2,000 second hand . It did not improve the performance by a massive amount really - despite claims of just above 200bhp but I did like the sound from it . I stripped the kit off before selling the car and got £1,950 for it so was £ for £ the best mod I ever did on any car .

My Isf turned 150,000 this week .

I have always thought different weights but could be totally wrong !

That doesn't sound good . I hope he is ok .

Why the sadness ? Because you sold yours ?

Anybody seen this article .https://www.modernclassicsmagazine.co.uk/driving/lexus-is-f?utm_source=mod_newsletter&utm_medium=email it is not the first time an ISF has been featured .

147k and runs as it did when I got it at 82k miles on it almost 4 years ago .

See the for sale section

What is tyre tread depth on your front tyres ? I have had that wandering feeling simply when fronts were down to about 3mm and I had put new tyres on rear - got two new fronts and problem gone .

Hi David - Lexus did diagnostics and all they did was update software and that seemed to clear the problem - was pleasantly surprised with the bill of around £250 since I was at their mercy really having no warranty and was expecting the worst ! Sadly my wife had lost confidence in the car and we traded it in a month later . I would think you should be ok with warranty - certainly hopefully you get it all sorted since pretty scary when it happened .

Pete's one much better option at 21k .

Pete is a member on here . Surprised he hasn't put feelers out to members before listing on eBay .
