Hi guys

I have available a Lexus Japan only key pouch made specificly for the ISF with the F emblem, very well made from cow hide and in excellent condition.

£35K and I’m in. Lol

That’s quick! Was at £56,990 yesterday, should be around £45,000 from the start imo.

Well, that’s didn’t take long. 😉 

I’ve never driven a DC2 to compare but can confidently say the FD2 is probably the most hardcore ‘practical’ road car out there, the wife absolutely hates the car due to the extreme stock suspension setup lol.

be interested in your thoughts about these, i've been adding a lot to my watch list on ebay, quite fancy one for some weekend fun and to give the GSF some mileage breaks, but I actually have no idea what im looking for/ at 😄

I’ve had three DC5s and still own a FD2R which are In hibernation, what do you want to know. 😉

Spotted this black ISF on the M62 eastbound, makes me miss my pearl white ISF, anyone from here?

Same, mines under a cover garaged up untill springs comes, winter is not the Fs friend at all I wouldn't wish to drive such a powerful rwd car in winter conditions one bit of unsalted ice and that's it plus factor rust in and it makes even more sense to buy a rotbox to me.

Make sure it’s a breathable car cover, otherwise it’ll trap moisture and does more bad than good.

Mine stays in the garage when not in use and on a CTek trickle charger over winter without a cover to allow air circulation.

As it’s indoor out of the element dust is minimum, longest I’ve stored a car this way is 6 months and never had a any issue.

Had it on autotrader for 5 weeks and not even 1 enquiry, then advertised on pistonheads for 2 months, few enquiries and sold to the first chap who came to view as with all my previous cars.

The ISF are truly over engineered car, cost me nothing apart from the services.

Today I’ve waived good bye to my ISF after 4.5 years of ownership, I’ve really enjoyed the time I’ve had it. And gladly she’s gone to a good home.

Will be on the search for a 2017+ GSF in white if anyone is looking to sell please let me know.

Looks awesome, ultra blue was my first choice when looking for an ISF.

what stuff did you used to put the number plates on?

Paul that photo looks like there is a dent on the rear offside bumper.😂

I happened to know this is up for sale and the paint is in pretty good condition too!😊

Made full use of today’s lovely weather and took the ISF to work, looks like I’ll be upgrading to a GSF in the near future.

Just being sent this on FB, What a lucky man the driver have walked out alive from this crash, tells us how well built our cars are!!

There’s another blue one owned by my mate’s friend Karl, so that’s 4 locally then, common As muck 😂

Hi mate, I’m in Rainhill, happy to take you for a drive. I’m free this afternoon either side of going to the gym (Gymbug). 

Hi Nick

Is your ISF black by any chance because I always see a black one parked outside a house in Rainhill when going to My mates. Also there’s a blue one local as well.

I've been a honda driver just about my whole life, starting in VTEC crx's (had 4 in a row!!) Owned everything from civic type r to Integra type r to accord type r.

I was very much in the opinion that honda had lost their way with the new type r cars but they definatly haven't with this one, it drives and feels exactly the same as old school 90's VTEC Honda's, it's just been turned up to 11!  The noise is gone though which was a massive part of the VTEC experience for me

If you get a chance to drive one, give it a go.

(That's some car combo by the way, you must have a very understanding other half!!!!! Your a lucky man.)

I’m pretty much the same, had 5 type Rs in a row, then one day thought to my self I need to move on and try something different.

Bought the ISF 4 years ago and it wasn’t until last year I decided I need to have another type R, so imported a fresh one from Japan with only 9k miles on clock with the intention of keeping forever being the last NA type r.

I did sat in the FK8 last time I was in the dealership, looked massive in person and thought the styling were a bit busy. Maybe 1 day it will grown on me.

Congrats on the purchase of the FK8, still not convinced on them yet.

IMO this is the last real type R. 😜

Hi doog

any chance of a photo of the area between the Battery and bonnet strut, just want to confirm my wires are all okay.

It’s the wires going into the black fuse box on the left, any IS200T owners can confirm with a photo.

Thanks

Was doing the engine oil level check on the IS and spotted something unusual.

The bunch of cables going into the fuse box next to the Battery isn’t protected by any conduit but wrapped in electrical tape only, this doesn’t seem right to me.

can someone confirm wether this is normal?

Have the same dialema with my 2011 ISF.

Car is due it’s annual service on 1st March, having only covered around 2k miles and currently stored away during winter, I’m thinking of stretch the interval a couple of months and have it serviced in May with Lexus when the car is back out.

Altough I said to myself I’ll never sell her but you never know, would you be put off by the car because it’s not serviced at 12months interval as it’s been stored away?
