thanks guys.. cant wait.. getting sleepless nights just thinking about getting behind the wheel lol, not that im a crazy driver, but just to get that Lexus feel again after having Merc's and BM's. just a quick show of hands, who is under 35 years of age with a ISF.. (bit nosey and curious)

Hi guys, would be great if we arrange a meet up in Birmingham (or near by) in the summer, about June/July time.

Peter P18.. where did u get the bumper side lips from? look really nice

Hi buddy.. congrats on your purchase.. i was pondering on that for 3 days days and when i called it was sold.. but i managed to get one too in white, im from birmingham, be nice if we meet up and share some experience amd have some pics of 2 white beasts and post em on the forum for these guys to see.

Guys, you really know how to welcome someone new.. thanks. After all the pros and cons between a C63, M3, RS4 and a IS-F.. well we all know what i picked..lol not knocking any of the others, but i rather be unique like my other 200 ISF owners, than be the same as something you see regular.. Looks and reliability played a major role in my decision.

Your right buddy i think i got a bargain too.. they also said i get a 12month warranty, full service, brand new rear tyres, new pads and discs. I just kept saying ok ok ok with a MAAAAAAHOVSIVE smile on my face. And with all fairness the sales man was super, and knew the car very well as its been serviced by them for many years. so yeh cant wait to drive it to a car loving home. i have only seen one since its production on the road.

Yeh it was the Hull one.. i saw one for sale before and pondered over it and when i called it was sold.. so i didnt want to risk this one, i left a deposit and due to collect it next week.... i take it you seen it on the trader aswell?

Hello guys and girls, i just wanted to share i have left a deposit on a IS-F and will be a proud owner of it in about a weeks time. just wanted to know (even though i have done my research) any thing additional i should know about or look out for.

Yeh stevet.. it was in Hull.. i knew people will be on the look out so i got the dealer to drive to me in birmingham... i was so impressed with it.. its a beauty.. and drives puurrrrrfect. Cant wait to pick it up wasnt urs by any chance? Thanks Stunno1.

OMG!! don't say that guys I just paid a deposit on a white one haha.. well actually minus the haha :eerrrmm:

hi, sorry for the very late reply.. i did it myself.. wrapped it in 3D di-noc tape, u can get it from ebay for about 5 quid, its soooo easy all u need is a heat gun to apply

U might be thinking im mad.. but i been looking for after market alloys.. got to be 19".. and along my research the only alloy that has that smart yet geniune look to suit my Lexus is the Vuaxhal Astra VXR alloys (BK999).. they go that genuine look to em.. plz help!! am i the only one to think that or are my eyes going bonkers as ive seen too many alloys..lol the balck one has bk999 and the red are genuine VXR.. the only diffis the center cap (bk999 is not touching the nuts and the genuine is webbed arounf the nuts)

Thanks shazy...im assuming u seen the up to date pic of my car.. the one above was in the start stage..to see it follow my post(18" sport alloys) an the front and back kit i got from Lexus birmingham, they had a deal for te front and back lip plus the boot spoiler (£400), but i kow they sell the back one for next to nothing, but in limited colours.. the front lip and rear spoiler are very hard to come by used.. so if u really want em.. might have to go new.. Boot spoiler is aprox £200 Front Lip is aprox £225 all inc VAT.

sorry mate for getting back so late.. my car is lowered on 30mm eibach.. its just right im telling ya.. i was in 2 minds.. 35 or 30mm the good thing about 30mm is the geomerty settinf are out slightly and be adjuted without to much messing about.. also u can drive it over humps n that without driving 2mph..lol the f fport badges i bought were from a chap in australia.. ebay, and the back f sport one was custom made by a friend. and thanks for the compliments on my car.. i do have a pic b4 and after.. let me see... found one b4 lowered (OMG cant believe it was taht high), and the after pic is over 2mb.. i'll put it up on my page.. *update* cant seem to upload anymore.. might have to upgrade to gold member..lol left some info on my profile after ur coment.. any more q just ask..

Dual Mass Flywheel

I have a is220d se and in that i agree to the Crank when the heathers use to be on only, 6th gear was a waste, and mpg in winter time was poor, but so was my 320d m sport bkth giving 35 mpg, But when i bought my is220d sport, it was suprisingly different, 6th wotks a treat on 70mph, and that crank aint there (could be cuz i have sat nav in this), but there slight noises from the cabin due to wear and tear but notjing noticable.. the only thing i can say is it does idle high, but again only with the heathers on whilst car is stationary.. I love my sport and much better than the se.. Oh one last thing, the clunk noise in lower gear changing does p me off, but that didnt happen in my se, maybe it was brand new.. And my sport is 4 yrs old now

Mate i got mine lowered by 30mm all round with eibach pro kit.. Anyone who says it will mess the ride is chatting bollocks.. The only thing is its a tad stiff over ramps, hardly noticeable.. Get it done, looks fantastic and drives better I got mine done from DemonTweeks in wrexham, these guys are Pro's and they were the cheapest, had a offer on then.. Dont know about now, i paid £260, inc all tracking and geomertry setting, took 4 hrs.

That looks nice! I tired to look for those alloys but lexus told me they dont do 19" in F Sport, only in IS F.. the f sport are only 18".. Correct me if im wrong.. Im sure that link above said 19" forged alloys for the f sport.. Maybe it is available out of europe only.. Any views?
