    This all sounds very grim and a far too frequent problem. Does anyone know if the RC-F is at risk too? I imagine it will be a few years before any of ours start to reach 100k miles, but it would be good to know in advance
  2. MNMJ
    Especially if they put the V8 in the wagon
  3. MNMJ
    I loved how stealthy the IS-F was, even in the best colour (red of course). If they had made a replacement in the new shape, I would almost certainly have gone for that over the RC-F.
  4. MNMJ
    I recall they were cool to the touch, so unlikely to be plastic
  5. MNMJ
    That will do nicely too

    Multi year packages from Chester save a bit, and the MoT is thrown in too

    And let's not forget the 2.0 L Subaru flat 4 turbo, especially with the Prodrive Performance Pack. The sweet spot was the 2004 WRX, which sounded sweeter than the higher bhp STIs

    The RC-F sounds awesome. Take one for a test drive; stick it in Sport or Sport + rev it past 3000rpm and see for yourself. There are some on the F forum who insist that an aftermarket exhaust is needed, but I think they are slightly deranged (though deranged isn't all bad, their videos do sound epic)
  9. MNMJ
    Me too, even if they resurrected the dodgy Sportcross name from the IS Mk 1, it would still be on the radar

    PS You wrote "This generated 0% discussion on the LC forum 😞 so I have come back to the trusty F chat!" Reading the LC Forum from time to time draws me to the conclusion that LC owners are very different people to us F..ers

    Who knows what they are up to, but it would be a shame to lose the halo car. It would be out of my reach anyway If they bring the new IS 500 to the UK that could appear on my short list "Rumors of an IS 500 first started in Japanese magazine MAG-X, which claimed Lexus would use their 2UR-GSE 5.0L V8 to create the spiritual successor to the original IS F. Motor Trend followed up with a report suggesting it would instead be powered by the LS 500’s 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. Given the IS 500 nameplate over the IS F, the TTV6 seems a more likely option."

    If it was just the first stamp and the rest were Lexus, and if Lexus would allow the warranty to be extended after 3 years, I would go for it...at the right price
  13. MNMJ
    Nice; A few Jagermeister decals would be the icing on the cake
  14. MNMJ
    Useful review. Thanks. The Type R is on my (very) short list when it comes to change
  15. MNMJ
    If it is dry, simply take the long way home each time. Give it the beans in 2nd at every opportunity
  16. MNMJ
    Nearly 5 years in the ISF and now coming up to 5 in the RCF too. Before Lexus I used to change cars every 2 to 2.5 years, but the F cars really are keepers

    Lexus Chester is up and running too. They have a simple and clear distancing system and are making sure people feel safe. They cleaned the car too. Outside they had a Sonic Titanium RC300h. I'd not seen that shade before and I quite liked it. I'm not normally a fan of grey or silver shades, but that looked smart.

    Is it because Stoke is dead posh?
  19. MNMJ
    It turns out mine does have ML on the build sheet. Something odd must have been happening a couple of years ago with the spec sheet
  20. MNMJ
    That makes sense. I shall ask Lexus Chester next week when I'm in for service & MOT
  21. MNMJ
    Those wheels remind me of the baddies helicopter from Bond's The World is Not Enough
  22. MNMJ
    I do recall checking my car on a valuation website a while back, and the spec came up as without ML. This could cause a problem at resale time or when a dealer does an enquiry for a trade in price. The answer would be to sit someone in the car and show them the ML system, but still it might cause suspicion of dodgy dealings (how much are ML stickers anyone?)
  23. MNMJ
    Yes, but with a frightening extended warranty cost for the LC I checked on Autotrader today for the first time since Aug 2019, and the trade in value of my RCF has only dropped by £830 in 10 months. After eye-watering initial depreciation, I'm very happy with that, especially as I've been scared to look with the supposed Covid 19 price apocalypse
  24. MNMJ
    Lexus hold a sheet which supposedly records the spec.
  25. MNMJ
    Mine is the same; badged ML in the car, but the spec sheet says W/O. I shall ask for clarity when I get the 5yr service done later this month. Maybe the mis-labelling only applies to red RC-Fs?
