Hey all,

ISF now gone and settling into JCW life.

Cleaning out all the last of the Lexus stuff and found the below in the garage. It's now listed in the for sale section for anyone interested.

This is a kit to turn your fog lights maximum yellow for any cars with the H11 fitment (2009 and earlier, maybe some 2010).

Osram fog breaker yellow discharge bulbs and enough yellow film to double coat your lenses. The effect is VERY yellow light!

Perfect for all you proper JDM fans.

More pics in the for sale listing.

bulbs are actual yellow discharge as well as having a yellow film over the glass.

Genuine Osram imported from Germany.

All of this is brand new and unused.

Bought these as spares for my ISF just in case I ever needed them. This is a kit to go maximum yellow on your fog lights.

Includes Osram yellow discharge fog breaker H11 bulbs. These actually emit yellow light, as well as having an additional yellow film over the glass of the bulbs too. Also included is a large amount of very high quality yellow film for your fog light lenses (I used two layers of this to get maximum yellow effect).

You end up with really yellow fog lights for maximum JDM styling.

£50 worth of kit here. Yours for £30.

Located near Hitchin in Herts but will post.

Please check that your bulbs are H11 fitment.

Selling a Grom VLine LEX6VL2 if anyone is interested.

Check the for sale section. Plenty of detail and pics there.

Mini Clubman? Oh dear! Please come back to the Mothership!

Don't knock it till you've tried it 😎

That's it. She's gone......

If LB09 KAK surfaces anywhere I'm more then happy to provide all the juicy details behind her ownership.

Handed her over with 12 Lexus stamps in the book and every single invoice for everything since 2015 (before and including my ownership).

Got a great deal that meant that (excluding mods and servicing, which I'd spend on any car) she cost me just over £96 a month to own). What a deal.

I managed to get most of my money back on the removable mods and it's gone looking fine but in need of a few minor jobs to get her perfect. Time for the next owner to pick up the reins.

Replaced the old girl with something a lot newer and with infinitely more accessible modification potential. Already got it booked in to go stage 2 before Xmas!

Not what anyone would have expected but even in stock form (which it won't be for long) this thing is formidable.....

I dont think it will involve a stick. I might be wrong 

Auto all the way!

If you want a nice compliant ride.....

Airlift all the way.

Nope 😂

Just get the bonnet (or any other panel) into a good bodyshop and have them scothbrite pad the original lacquer and relacquer it with a good quality UK lacquer. It's only the cheap Chinese lacquer that gets sun fade issues. Decent Uk stuff will last for years and years and years.

@NothernDan no way ! What have you decided to swap it for mate ?

All will be revealed in due course 😎, something that you wouldn't expect though. Just as quick, just a different thing altogether.

After 6 years, 65 thousand miles and a load of fun, it's going. Getting traded in at the end of the month.

Got a new car lined up and am selling all the stuff that isn't bonded on (or too much of a pain in the azzle to remove) on eBay. Listings start at 7:30 tonight.

Will do forum members a better deal direct so if you fancy anything be sure to mention that if you message me on there.

Struggling to get my posts to stay on the for sale section on here so have given up (I and a gold member!).

Farewell old friend, it's been amazing....

All, having just been through this rigmarole. A quick question.

What makes you think your headers are cracked?

If it's a ticking noise when cold that disappears once the exhaust has gone through its "warm up my cats" cycle then mine had this. Wasn't the headers. Was the high pressure fuel pump. Replaced that, noise gone.

I'm up for this if you guys are still doing it.

@NothernDan - I am fairly sure he ran the Vantage wheels on his F for a bit/ maybe still is. Only problem, hasn't been active in a while...

I am still here! Just busy with other projects and limiting media activity..... So much more spare time this way!

The wheels I ran on my car (Instagram @isf_dan for lots of pics) were the V8 vantage wheels and I ran them with 15mm H&R Trak spacers front and rear. You could actually get away with 20mm as long as you use stock (OEM) tyre widths (slight stretch on the wider wheels so less chance of rubbing).

The H&R spacers are bolt through (no captive bolts) but you need to fit longer studs in the hubs to make it work and you'll need different nuts as the vantage wheels require a different shape then OEM (conical vs spherical)

Check my Instagram for lots of pics of the wheels on the car although you'll need to go back a fair bit to find them. Been on Rotiform LAS-Rs for a long time now (just gone to much wider rears).

If you want to check what will go on these cars I have lots of info.

Lol, it's like you can tell I'm on the fence about them. You might sway me.

Do you like them from a personal experience standpoint?

Hey!

I've had them on for so long I can barely remember what the car was like without them!!

When you first put them on you will notice that it does firm up the road feel over larger bumps and gives a much more positive steering response. However, within a few days, everything just feels normal and they feel like part of the stock setup.

The main thing is, zero inner tyre wear which my car was plagued with based on previous owner purchase invoices. 

My car runs a little softer now due to the Airlift kit but even though, you can feel the usrs doing their part.

Well worth the investment! 😎

Apologies Dan, but I'm also going to rescind my order. I changed my mind when I read up a bit more about the USRS' potential to squeak.

Had them on mine for 4.5 years now. Not a single noise!

Up to you though 😎

Now then all. Getting ready to make an order now.

Can any of the interested parties please contact me (DMs) and let me know what exactly you want to add to the order. I'll need full item description exactly as it is on RR racing website, full item number and also the model and year of your car (important).

@Arqum can you let me know if you still want the intake from the performance pack and if you want your own OBD mapping thingy too 😎

Once i have the full order I'll get prices, shipping and estimated import tax before we push the button.

Hoping for a decent discount 😎😎

Keep me posted on all the final orders gents. Hoping we can get a decent discount if the order is big enough too!

Put me back on the list, RC F heat shield is ever so teeny tiny different to GS F, and I am not cocking up modifying it. So one GS F specific heat shield pretty please 😄

Back on the list. Do they sell them separately?

I quite fancy the carbon intake heat shield for mine, happy to send money to cover it being added to order and splitting shipping? 🙂

All good mate, you are on the list.

PM'd

PM'd me or them? Nothing in my inbox so I'm assuming them.

I know they have cracked the ISF mapping but as far as I know the RCF is harder so you may be right in the ECU swap for your car.

1 hour ago, BillNick said:

Yes good point. I think I will ask again as I spoke to them about a year ago so things might have changed. Still, it could be a lot different for ISF vs RCF. Doable, I just dont fancy swapping my ECU worries of other potential side effects.... I could come back to it the next morning and find the steering wheel on the other side! lol 

Actually did a proper LOL at that mate 😎🤣😎
