Hi bro, had mine done in April, I took mine to a Lexus Specialist in rayleigh called westfield motors (toyota and Lexus). Dealers will charge an arm and a Leg. If I was you I would get your car towed to these guys. Most garages wouldn't touch this job and even if they did offer there's no guarantee that they will take the upmost care when doing the job. There is a lot plastics on top the engine which is brittle. I was orginally quoted £1100 which isn't too bad compared to our German car guys lol but as they were lifting the injectors out one of them crumbled in his hand. And one injector was about £700 from Lexus 😭😭. The car has 8 injectors so I was lucky. So yeah please budget £2k + for this work for worst case scenario. My car is my daily so I had to bend over and close my eyes and let them take my money lol. The master Mechanic there his name is Andrea. After working on my car he has gained experience and now knows a safer way to try take the injectors out but there is still that risk. I actually had to take my car back again 2 weeks later because it coolant vapour was coming from engine and we found out a new £1 gasket he had fitted twisted during Installation. Again not something a general mechanic would take his time with. He had to take the whole intake manifold of the car again bless him. So good luck bro but if it was me I would deffo drop the car to these guys book 3 days off work and stay in a hotel. I use to drive to Birmingham to a Honda specialist to get engine work done because good work has no distance. Good luck my bro I hope all this helps 20230328_180539.mp4

@Linas.P couldn't have agreed more. I class it as such a small mod for big gains no need to inform insurers it's not that much of a big deal lol. Thanks for the informative write up! Hopefully future owners will have more courage to this without the worry

@NemesisUK deffo recommended to fit. Pretty rare for braided lines to be to cause issues so I wouldn't even bother informing them. I have a friend who tracks his GTR but hasn't told insurance about his insurance about them. So if he can take the risk with a £40k car then I think I can lol. I think things like tints ,wheels, engine mods are more of a thing to tell insurance

@NemesisUK haven't told them to be honest. It's a popular mod most car enthusiast. Long as you buy from a good brand and its installed correctly will have no issues. Braking is more sensitive and stronger how I like it. 🤗

@Jgtcracer I'm not sure. They could be. I realised the front rear use same length lines which was new to me.

Installed braided lines on the ISF. It was the first time emptying out all the brake fluid when changing the lines so bleeding took awhile as the brakes were still spongy after doing each caliper twice. I had to bleed the brakes with the engine running then that worked !! I would say it feels 40-50% better than OEM but the ABS deffo kicks in a lot easier than before meaning more force is being applied.

I wouldn't mind attending. I think this would be good.
