  1. Thanks Steve, the only thing I plan to do to the headlights is to make the orange reflectors into active side markers with LEDs. But thats going to take a little investigation.
  2. Yeah for sure, they were circa 360 landed if I remember right. They are designed to 'plug and play' so once a few clips had been removed the trims came out and the new units just bolt into place, it takes about an hour in total. But you will need to wire in some additional resistors to prevent the VSC system being disabled. Although the OEM brake/side lights are LEDs, they must have built in resistors or something to take the current load. Resistors are available from ebay for circa £2.50 delivered but luckily I had some sitting around in the garage. The one problem I came across was when they were first installed, I had a number of faults appear
  3. ...they are not really a mod, just a subtle update, an IS-F 2.5 if you will. Anyway, im sure they are not to every ones taste but I like them:)
  4. Hey at least the new owner can get a die-cast model of their own car,lol
  5. Exactly what I thought Steve, he knows nothing, where did he get that number of 500 from! And I dont think the tip has been replaced, note how none of the pics on ebay show the car from the back.
  6. So the infamous Yorkshire Police ISF is for sale, interesting how the seller seems to think it was used as one of their 'undercover' cars...hmmmm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-LEXUS-IS-F-AUTO-PEARL-WHITE-8-SPEED-AUTO-440-BHP-AS-QUICK-AS-BMW-M3-/311461156093?hash=item48848814fd
  7. Lol, ill have to come out in yrs too Stu as a comparison;)
  8. Thanks guys, ive uploaded an extended clip now with a slow pull away. https://youtu.be/t3_OPhWrySM
  9. I was sitting behind you in my wifes white 3 series coupe on Thursday evening on the A23 and then down the M23, got to say, it sounded great from where we were:))
  10. Thanks Stuart, I don't have any cold start clips but me and my boy took it out for a spin tonight Oh, and the wife has said that she would love some retail therapy so yes, ill be coming:)) https://youtu.be/g6J7xo2-ZIA
  11. Well after modifying one set of silencers, I went about making a Prototype Super Sport set. They are not quite Straight pipes as ive kept one set of internal baffles and the resonance damper. The car now sounds the nuts with very little drone. So a weekend of work and a not so wallet busting £45 later. The result is...well lets just say, great.
  12. Sorry for the delay in replying bud, been in Korea on work. Silencers are now done:) and must say, it's worked out very nice. Just let me know when you want to get yr pipes, I've got them stored in the garage at the mo...damn their big f@"kers! Lol
  13. Welcome to a very exclusive club - Enjoy! :)
  14. Yes I did thanks Pete although im only going to work with the rear silencers for now. One of the silencers is now done :) You wouldn't believe whats going on inside them and how much they must be restricting the gas flow. Going to start work on the other one this weekend so all being well ill have it on the car for testing in the next week or so :)
