  1. I agree both those cars they are hideous. The Rodius is so bad I find it actually is offensive to look at, I am supprised any were sold. A local Rodius to me always leaves me shaking my head every time it goes past. How could anybody buy one, the merc engine still is going to do it. It is a shocker.
  2. There is a really good piston heads you tube video of these two cars getting compared. He is saying the same as you.
  3. I think it is a few bhp more than the newer non track edition rcf and a tiny bit more torque.
  4. Why dont you run it without the thermostat temporarily until you get the right one from lexus. Heater will be colder but car will run fine. I have done this before on old cars. Are you sure you got all the air out the system when you changed the thermostat, you can get an airlock?
  5. The one at auto100 is my old car I traded in a few months ago. I would like to buy it back and have both but cannot, but very pleased with the rcf. For me grey and white leather looks very good. I can say my old isf has very recent front and rear discs and pads fitted at lexus Hatfield. Also has recent michelin tyres all round. The bonnet and front bumper has a few minor stone chips, rest of the car is immaculate. The drivers seat has some creasing on the side bolster, but they all have this at this age but white leather shows it more. The car is 100 percent straight and absolutely no dings or paint damage except the chips mentioned, no repairs or accidents. Had an easy life and totally standard. No track days or anything like that by me or the previous owner.
  6. Could be the exhaust too but i was thinking the actual ecu would be different to correctly adjust for the lower emissions on the newer cars, so the fueling would be different. I wouldn't think it is just an exhaust, but could be wrong.
  7. Forgot about that. But the gear will make a large difference.
  8. Hello, I had searched and searched for the same info. I have the early 477ps rcf so happy with performance, but was just for interest. The rcf was reduced in power in 2018 ish for emissions. I am sure it is just a different ecu but don't know for sure how they did it. Can't find anything about it. The 0 to 60 is always quoted the same but I can't see how it can be exactly the same as the gearing is the same I believe, so less power must be less performance ? Because nobody does remaps for these cars it isn't easy to just remap it to match the earlier cars bhp either. The very new rcf track edition rcfs have 5 more bhp than the early rcfs and lower gearing so can do 0 to 60 in 3.9 second. I don't think you would notice 5 bhp but the lower gearing would be noticeable so must be down to only that for the extra exceleration.
  9. Apparently the new f cars coming at some point to the uk will have twin turbo smaller v8 engines. So will be a different experience to what we have now.
  10. Should not be harder to push... Something is not right.
  11. The thrust release bearing might need lubing on the shaft or isn't on the fork properly. Or maybe the clutch itself is not fitted correctly? Think you should take it back to the garage and say it is not right. Should be a nice light pedal and a very smooth action if it is a new oem type clutch.
  12. Yes sorry I though you bought a stage 2 kit or something. Like a competition clutch. OK. Did you change it or a garage?
  13. Same as above, took me a few turns to realise what was going on as I didn't know how it worked. When I drove home in it after collecting it i was caught out a few times by it not cancelling as I expected and turned it in the other way. After a few weeks I was totally used to it and quite like it now actually, just different. The light push of the indicator stalk and 3 flashes and then it cancels is perfect for most situations. Only when you are statuary or slow moving do you need the indicator on until you turn.
  14. Should have gone for a standard or oem clutch assembly. Why didn't you?
