  1. I thought they were only V6, not V8, Am I missing something?
  2. I live in W5 so not far away from NW
  3. We are leaving on 9th of June to France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany (cannot wait for the autobahn) and back. My mate lives in Cologne so thought it would be nicer to drive than a plane. Greece sounds better to be fair :)
  4. Had a great time with the car around Box Hill! I love the QS sound!
  5. @DAW it was very good ta! I only live 3-4 miles away from the dealer but couldn't resist M4 drive so went for 50 miles drive with a huge grin on my face in manual all the way... I must say enjoyed every second of it and QS exhaust adds something special to RCF.
  6. I bought RCF other day with ACC/PCS TVD sunroof, QS exhaust etc just below 9k on the clock, was originally priced for £38k and I can tell you after the negotiations price dropped around £35k. I had a quick chat with Lexus Salesman and like someone previously said, some of the cars were bought on 3-year PPC and very soon they will be up for renewals and very likely their next choice is LC500 so hopefully more RCF coming to the market soon.
  7. Thanks Chaps for all the input. Also, @Big Rat Many thanks for putting me in touch with @DAW
  8. Thanks mate, much appreciate it! I will drop him a quick line as well.
  9. I have OEM exhaust in the boxes as it came with the car.... I just wanted to compare the difference between the OEM and QuickSilver. I checked a few videos online but they don't justify the real sound so ideally if anyone here with OEM exhaust fancy a quick meeting I'm def up for it. I will let you know re switchable, ta!
  10. Thanks Stuno Thank Big Rat, I'm picking up the car on Tuesday and cannot wait! I will see how it runs for a few weeks and gonna decide on a switchable system then. Any1 here with the OEM exhaust on RCF?
  11. Hi Guys, I have been a member of this forum for quite some time, not very active tho. I have had my ISF for 2 years (amazing car), last week I went to a Lexus dealer to see nice white RCF and I bought it... dunno how this happened as I didn't plan on changing the ISF, I guess love from the first sight lol. The car comes with QuickSilver exhaust already installed and I have a quick question for some of you who already have the exhaust. On QuickSilver website, there is a video of the exhaust on RCF with switchable valves. Anyone knows if this is the standard option they provide for all their exhaust systems or do you have to request that? When I had a test drive I checked all the modes and the car sounds exactly the same. Don't get me wrong the sound is amazing I'm just concerned about my neighbours and morning starts as it is super loud... :D. Ta!
  12. Quite a few ISF in London, good to see that. USB isf in west London.
  13. I just found out I have to go to work tomorrow so I have to pass on tomorrow' meeting... Sorry chaps. I hope to see some photos!
  14. Thanks Guys, I spoke to Lexus Edgware and they couldn't believe that cracking is still there, so they want one of their technicians do the test drive with me. Scheduled that for the beginning of the next week, so fingers crossed. If they cannot solve it this time then I will consider a local garage.
  15. Hi Chaps, Very odd experience with ISF, I'm getting cracking noise from steering wheel after going over the speed bumps or small wholes on the road. I went to Lexus Edgware, they had it for a few days and diagnosed it as an issue with steering column. Replaced it under the warranty (messed up radio buttons and gear paddle shifts...), but the cracking noise was still there. Went back and left it for another few days, they took it apart and reconnected buttons and also "cleaned and re-secure loose and dirty wiring and terminals". Then Lexus technician took it for a "20 miles" test run and it was happy with the results as apparently cracking was gone after cleaning it... I picked up the car again and as soon as I drove it, I went over the first speed bump and cracking was not solved... Loosing my mind as the car was with them 4 times and every time they break some other stuff. Any advice would be much appreciated.
  16. Hey Dave, I will be keen on getting one, so please put my name on the list. Thanks
  17. Lol, no worries! Just plugged all in and will go for the drive later on! Thanks for the DIY Pete, very handy.
  18. Pete, Thanks a lot for DIY! I got one question so far, I have a grey cabe with plastic at the end (see picture below), do I need to plug this anywhere? Am I right thinking this is reverse signal wire and I don't have to worry about it?
  19. So I went to Kwik-Fit yesterday to get my tires done with Nitrogen, it took them only 5 mins to do the whole job. I'm not too sure if they actually done anything. Also I don't know how the process should look like. Don't they need to run tires flat first and refill with Nitrogen? Also, found video on youtube about Kwik-Fit Nitorgen scam...
  20. Hi Guys, Can anyone put some light on filling tires with Nitrogen instead of compressed air? Are there any benefits, noticeable difference?
  21. Hey Chaps, I have a bit of an issue with mine as well (not too sure if that's related to brushes). Every time I brake harder or go over a bumper I can hear cracking sound coming from the right front side of the car... Called Lexus and explained everything and now just waiting for their action plan. Bought the car around a month ago and don't really fancy spending a few £££ on the repair. Regarding the USRS I found video clip which shows the difference:
