The trouble is if a car is priced too cheap then people get suspicious. I think I've given heads up to 3 forum members who ended up buying an ISF. I replaced mine with a fairly tuned Evo X which I'm now planning on selling in a month or so. Not looking forward to the tyre kickers and timewaster it will attract!

Thankfully my area is fine but there have been reports of stolen cars nearby. VAG performance stuff seems to attract all sorts of scrotes. I guess relatively discreet motors with plenty of poke are ideal to either use when commiting more crime or strip down and sell on. A chop shop was found and shutdown further afield in Blackburn a few months back. I've been fine with the Evo but that's hardly discreet!

Listed mine (AT, eBay and PH) at the worst time of the year, just before Christmas. Had nowt but timewasters. Some examples - 1) A chap sent me a message offering me a speedboat as px and cash his way. 2) Someone asked for more pics and videos, sent them over only to get a reply saying the car was nice but I was too far away. Mind boggling given that he knew my location before he messaged me. 3) Someone offering me over 4k less than it was advertised for and saying they could come and collect it the next day. 4) Someone asking a fair few questions on condition etc before offering 3.5k less than the advertised price. In the end I got fed up and sold it to Evans Halshaw who paid 500 less than my advertised price. They then sold it on to a fellow forum member and made a tidy £1500 profit although I'd argue they got luck with that sale since they were inept to say the least. I agree with the Prof, great cars but don't sell that easily. Or maybe my timing played a bigger part.

By sensible daily I mean something like a MK5 Golf GTi or something similar. That's as sensible as I'll ever get

Aye he's pretty handy behind the wheel and has seen/done some things in his time. The Ring was superb, already planning the next trip out there. Leaning towards selling the Evo, getting a track car like a E46 M3 and something sensible for daily duties.

He always has some interesting metal. The noisy his Chevy pickup makes is absolute filth. Makes my old ISF sound like a Prius!

Yup long gone, collected by Mr Rat. That reminds me, did you collect the mid section as well or just the backboxes Mr Rat?

I have a pair of new rear discs sat about in storage if anyone needs some.

Spotted this weapon in a retail unit at the Ring complex last week - Sadly it was closed so I couldn't go in to take a closer look.

They can be tweaked to fit either side. I lost one on my old car and sourced a replacement from a fellow member. It was for the wrong side but my mechanic managed to get it to fit right with a bit of help from some power tools.

Cheers. Always had a soft spot for the 996. Don't think I'll be aiming for any lap records on my first trip out, just hope the weather is good and I get a few clear laps in. Back on topic, can't seem to find the thread on here where a Mesa Red ISF owner modified the rear section of their exhaust. I recall that it sounded rather nice.

The chav chariot is currently being prepped for it's (and my) first trip to the Ring in a few weeks. New pads, brake fluid, tyres, lovely Ohlin DFV suspension etc. Wallet is taking a bit of a hammering, just need to make sure the car doesn't during the trip! Had the map tweaked recently, now sitting at 481bhp with 447 ft lbs of torque. I still miss the ISF, thankfully I have the keys to the XFR as I'm babysitting it for a few weeks. Over 1000bhp on the driveway -

Yup. Forgot to update my thread but turned out the exhaust place cut the existing exhaust off where the secondary cars join the flange so it made it a pain to revert back to stock. As a result I sold the car with the aftermarket exhaust.

Flat crank on the Ferrari derived engines are impressive even in stock form. Was behind a Maserati GranSport this morning that sounded lovely. I guess Lexus had to compromise to appeal to their typical customer base.

Not had anything through

As per the title, I have a stock rear exhaust sat gathering dust at my mechanics garage. Ideal for someone to modify and fit whilst still retaining their stock rear section. I know some users have done this before with good results. Free to a good home, you would need to collect it from Leeds though.

The owner is a member on the MLR, the sale thread for the car can be found here - http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=532263

Nice to meet you and your kid too. Congrats on joining a very exclusive club. I went out for a drive earlier and spotted a white ISF out in Ilkley. Sods law, owned mine for over a year and never saw another in the wild. All the best, enjoy it in good health!

Gear knob seems to be the wrong one?

I remember that feeling! Good luck and all the best with ISF ownership.

My brother has the same engine but in a XFR, he's also owned a 4.2 supercharged XF in the past and I've driven both. I owned a 4.0 XJR a few years back which was also good. There is just something about a supercharged V8. The sheer amount of grunt on tap with next to no lag, it always makes me grin. I'm waiting for the prices on the XKR to bottom out before I jump into one, sticking with the pops and bangs of the 4 pot in my Evo X for the meantime.

Either of these two. Still want to own a XKR 5.0 at some point. That engine is an absolute peach and the supercharger whine is addictive.

Bunch of utter numpties. Why on earth have they done that if Matt has left a deposit on the car?

No worries Matt, I'm glad that the car is staying within the club. I loved it and I'm already regretting selling it. In hindsight I should have held off selling it for a few weeks and saved you the hassle of dealing with Evans Halshaw. Hope it all goes well on Saturday, drop me a text with your travel plans. I live fairly close to the dealership so can meet you at the nearby Shell to give you the remote for the exhaust (depending on timings).

The drivers side isn't as immaculate as the previous owner was an elderly chap but still, only 28k miles from new! My lanky mates had no issues with the ISF. Tallest one is 6'4"
