  1. @emjay82 From a personal standpoint coupled with having a healthy mistrust of insurance/warranty companies I've never been prepared to give them even the slightest get out clause as a result of something I've done. The components on these cars are very expensive and to void the cover just because I want to modify something is a non runner for me, if I've still got her when she's no longer warrantable that's a completely different matter. Big Rat
  2. @emjay82 They brought my attention to, and it was an attention getter to engine/ drive train to be specific. Not worth messing with I'd say. 🐀
  3. @Linas.P Going backwards is a very important skill as with most things in life...... it's good to get yourself out of trouble just as quickly as you got into it 😂 🐀
  4. @Ray-ISF Dunno it's a Lexus thing wrote to them when I first got the isF with a list of poss things to do, straight forward rear boxes swap ok, a valved system no. 🐀
  5. @Mark6pot Ah the classic cylinder layout, got to be one of my favourites, had an M3 CSL with a straight 6 got to be one of the most charismatic engines of all time 🤓 🐀
  6. @Mark6pot look forward to that and if successful, you will be known henceforth as 8pot 😏 🐀
  7. @Warrington guy @emjay82 Alas it certainly does 🙄 🐀
  8. Well guys @emjay82 @Warrington guy In the broader scheme of things if that's the only two areas of let down and they are both relatively easy and inexpensive to sort, not that bad is it 😂 Big Rat
  9. @Warrington guy I knew you were the one to ask, seems a bit optimistic 😂 Bug Rat
  10. It's a few years old but in depth and interesting, one aspect of the build is the fit meant of the K&N typhoon, claimed 30 hp increase ? @Warrington guy I now has this fitted care to comment mate, what's your thoughts on that figure or am I reading it wrong it's a lengthy article.

  11. @Flytvr No probs mate I've nipped out to my workshop and knocked up a microphone that will do justice @Rusty Crobar exhaust what do you think 🤗 Big Rat
  12. @Jgtcracer I have a bit of software tracer that intelligently searches and language translates for me, us old builders are smart guys you know 😂 Big Rat
  13. @Mattmech Very nice matey Mrs Rat has put an order in for me only last night, so it'll be my turn for a play, I posted this elsewhere today but thought I'd share it on here as well, the depths of desperation when it comes to detailing 😂
  14. @Flytvr It is a great atmospheric picture, not my driving style of course 😌 I found this picture recently I like I don't know why really maybe it's the paint scheme the wheels a track car in its layer waiting for its moment I suppose, any way I like it 😇 Big Rat
  15. @Jgtcracer Mine isn't Silver it's pale metallic light grey 😏 🐀
  16. I know it can be an obsession to some but at the recent Cannock meet I saw this on the M6 😂 Big Rat
  17. So all Welsh Blat participants caution is the by word, controlled fun, obey the law and do not exceed the limits of your ability or that of the 'F' as we do not want any of this :( No body was hurt incidentally. Big Rat
  18. @Flytvr you err how do I put this..... are far better sat next me so I can share this image of you 😂 Big Rat
  19. I'd be happy to help I'm just popping off an email to Lexus for the appropriate car, I've included a picture of my requirements. Bug Rat
  20. @lockeyboy Mark the car is a long term prospect and I just want to try and guard against a few unforeseen eventualities. The wheels on an IsF are corner specific, they are rare and are the thick end of 1600 quid each 😳 I got four off a member on here for just over 500 quid. I suppose if we ever get a winter again they could have a set of winter tyres on them ! Big Rat
  21. @Spacewagon52 Especially concentrating on that back seat for me 😂 Big Rat
  22. @Rusty Crobar She's gleaming matey, so it's about time I did some pics of mine, here she she is 15 months ago on the day I picked her up :) Big Rat
  23. @rayaans I'm just jealous of the RX, I popped into Lexus Cheltenham and there was one in the showroom, I resembled a small boy with his faced pressed up to the sweet shop window 😳 Big Rat
