No issues, always serviced by Lexus.  Only thing I had to replace other than discs and pads was the battery.  All 4 wheels were refurbished at the same time so the paint matched as no one knows the actual paint code.  Changed the interior bulbs to LED’s, changed the front fog lights to LED, resprayed the callipers to ‘burnt copper’ and put Hawk ceramic pads on the front for less dust.  Only sold it to buy an RC F.

 

 

Hey Dave, where did you get the interior LED's from? Always wanted to do this as the yellow interior light makes it look very dated.

Where are you guys getting your insurance quotes for these modified cars?

 

Aviva, by far the cheapest (for me). Only been driving/had my license for 3 years, went from a 1.5 Honda civic to the ISF. Insurance is cheaper than the 1.5 Honda LOL. Mods are sometimes free to add on i.e. my muffler delete.

Thank you Scott for the pictures! Looks better than OEM. Have you noticed any difference in sound?

I got in touch with them to check and they made the revisions you mention, all fitted very well and now have metal breather take offs.

They said they would be getting it on the website ASAP and I'll be getting one in black as soon as. Happy days! 

Let us know the difference it makes and how much did it set you back?

I've seen the car go past in nearby areas, glad you told him to join!

The RCF brakes are grooved not drilled and are larger in diameter so different to ISF. 

EuroCP don't do brakes for the RCF - Try lexuspartsdirect for prices: https://www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/category/lexus-rc-f/lexus-rc-f-2014-onwards/lexus-rc-f-brakes-transmission/

Full 60k Service is £920 but with your gold membership you can get 10-15% off iirc.
Double check the brake disks and pads as they can add up. Check for any leaks, anything that looks out of the ordinary, panel gaps, colour differences, correct and same brand tyres on each axle. 

Just saw a Red ISF driving around in the "Ilford" area. Anyone on here? #Fly

IIRC there's about 8 '12 models. My13 are very rare!

Came accross this at the weekend on my daily autotrader browse, did wonder how its not been classed as a write off unless insurance companies were not involved. Quite worrying really if this could be sold without the buyer being aware.

I don't think insurance were involved - the description says "unrecorded and will not be recorded". Red flags everywhere!

Adaptive suspension? 🤣

I've just tapped mine, sounds like metal. Cold to the touch too. '12 ISF

Just saw this on the US Lex forums and I'm impressed!

Got both front headlights replaced under warranty, however started noticing gaps under the headlights where the front bumper connects. Not sure if they were there before but could someone post a front view of their ISF OEM headlight please?

Looks lovely how easy was the TWHC wet wax to apply?

Thank you mate. Very easy! Spray twice per panel (depending on size) and dry it as normal. I've done the wheels too but I sprayed the towel. I get a lot less brakedust sticking to the wheels, pressure wash the rest and it comes off without scrubbing. 

Just your casual trip to Tescos. Needs to be ceramic coated but applied Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Wet Wax.

Not got those but got these. Unused - Michelin winter tyres.

 

 

Hey Caldera, how much are you selling these for?

It's always been on AT, it was hiding in with the IS Unspecified. Not sure at what price. 

IIRC it varied between £22.5k - £25k

Yes I had a nearside headlamp assembly replaced on my IS250C under the extended warranty.  This was early 2016 and it was £700+.

Thank you Steve, i'll be booking her in tomorrow I guess!

I saw a few posts about people having condensation in their headlights, which were covered under warranty - however it didn't state whether it was the Lexus or Extended.

The condensation is there regardless of the weather however, it does fluctuate only on one side.

Can anyone advise if they've had it done on extended warranty before?

Thanks,

That's a decent price for fitting. 

Is it time to issue the immortal words GROUPBUY? 

I'd much prefer a valved system. 

Anyone else interested?

Could this be fitted before the resonator? I've already got a muffler delete and it sounds amazing, little drone around 2k rpm.

Sent you a pm

 

Could you send this to me as well please? If it includes the ISF.

£5500 is not cheap in my world, and that is the minimum price the seller is expecting.

John.

In the grand scheme of things, it's a bargain. Especially when gearbox replacements are $9k+ 

Lexus ISF Engine & Gearbox 

Something seems a little strange, engine has only done "5000" miles. Looks somewhat clean though.
 

I don't believe the F series are included in the essential servicing. 

My ISF nor is the RCF listed on the drop down box: https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/servicing-and-maintenance/lexus-essential-care/
