Couple of sets on ebay 🇺🇸.... Better value for a winter set as long as the postage isn't too steep....

If they're anything like the prices for the ISF alloy wheeels from the dealer........ouch!

Yeah I guess, a bargain if the buyer plans to keep it long term... Private sale..... you could probably get it a fair bit lower than the advertised price.

Very good price.... Bargain for someone

They're a sight! He had them shipped all the way from Mongolia 🇲🇳....

Thanks for the stats, if I've got this right, this is a better illustration of the Lithuanian 🇱🇹 postal service.... Looks much more efficient 👍

Here's Lithuania mail, looks OK to me..... Yes it will be like a GSF just a really slow one. 👍

493 miles to be exact.... 😉. Purchased from another forum member who took the car with him from the UK to ROI.

I feel as I need to step in here to set the record straight.... Anyone who truly knows Lexus knows that this interior colour was derived by the LFA designer chief Haruhiko Tanahashi pictured below..... ..... During a business trip to Ramsgate to experience British culture, he stumbled accross a lovely beachside resturant and took a shine to a particular dessert which was used as the inspiration for the interior colour in question..... Those who don't believe me just google 'Haruhiko bananas custard ramsgate". 😉

It must be possible to develop no drone/resonance through enough research and testing/tuning. The latter being the most key IMO. I have recently had a PPE dual 'switchable' exhaust (will do a full review when I've found some free time 😉) fitted to my ISF. With the valves closed the exhaust remains largely stock in its characteristics but adds a subtle 'exotic note' to fill in at the lower revs from 1500 rpm until the already addict intake noise kicks in at 3500/4000 rpm upwards. Zero drone. The valved system has always been a must for me for the very reason that if it gets too much or annoying (especially as my car is a daily driver), I have the option to turn the bloody thing off 😂 😂. I've spent alot more time with the valves closed than open (which is pretty savage and to a degree unrefined but enjoyable in the right environment/road). Back on topic, I believe it is possible but it is curious why so many exhausts are developed/sold which suffer with drone/resonance 🤔

What a plonka sacrilege

Out on Pistonheads meet Dave?

Would be the GSF for me, if and when. @Stuno1.... agree that the RCF is fine for older kids, might be a pain in and out for those with young kids in child seats....

This will no doubt end badly, possibly with you buying a Dacia Duster 😉. Have you considered paying for your wife to attend a spa? Failing that cash bribes, rather than input on a fast car and offering logic to man maths? 😉 🤣. All joking aside, good luck with your search... 👍

Lexus have a thing for keeping their cars subtle in the decibel department. By adding this they probably expected to give their customers the best of both worlds but didn't account for true petrol heads who want the sound to come naturally.

There are a couple of 2013 ISF's for sale £27k-£30k, one in white is a beauty and a forum members car. These prices are very close to the RCF, the cheapest being the silver one at £32k. You would imagine the ISF might be a bit more £££ resilient but who knows, the RCF is a much more modern looking car.

These things happen, cant be helped. Personally, I'm delighted as I may now be able to make the F day

Yes I do, they have been fine. They wouldn't do a deal on the fixed service plan so I went to Twickenham, who were poor, so I switched back to Reading. No complains.

Based on recent experience.... Add Lexus Derby to the dreadful list. Lexus Carlisle - superb. 10/10.

Sounds like a circus at that Porsche dealership. I do believe it's luck of the draw, I've had some fantastic but also some poor experiences with Lexus dealerships. I think it all depends how they are individually run, sounds like you've got a great one in Lexus Hull.

Hope you're OK 🐀, take it easy....

I guess not, other than a ticking, I guess there is risk of fumes in the cabin?

Would this be picked up on an mot?
