Silver wheels look so good!! Lowering it makes such a difference to stance too doesn’t it!

Definitely mate.

Must haves!

• Full lexus history

• Black or red interior 

• TVD, sunroof all a bonus 

 

Are you still looking or have you found one yet? 

Congratulations and welcome. Fantastic car and colour. 
😎👍

Welcome along. Lovely car you have there in a great colour. Really suits it. 
 

Glad you guys had a good meet. Really gutted I couldn’t make it. 
some great pics here for me to look at and see all the lovely cars. Glad you had decent weather too. 
I’ll see about organising another meet for spring next year if everyone fancies it. 
Im going to approach Lexus/Toyota HQ in Guildford and see what I can sort out for a meet there.

Where is this dealership for future ref?

Lexus Hedge End mate. Just outside Southampton. 
Best dealership I’ve ever dealt with. 

After organising this, I’m truly gutted I can’t make it. 
I hope you all have a great time. 
On the subject of Lexus HQ involvement, I’ve spoken to my local dealership and am going to contact Lexus HQ to see about organising a meet next year at their location. The dealership think it’s a good idea too.  
Enjoy the meet this Saturday everyone. 👍😎

Guys, 

I’m really sorry but I am now not able to attend the F meet on 24th September at The Departure Lounge Cafe in Alton. 
A commitment has arisen that was unforeseen and I have to attend. 
Massive apologies. 
That is not to say that you can no longer go to the Car meet. The Departure Lounge are still expecting you, it’s only me that can’t go. 
Apologies once again. 
 

Ben
 

I’ll try and get to this as I’ve been a few times previously. 
Can’t promise anything though.

Managed to get the Swift springs fitted this morning, was surprisingly easy though I suppose the car has only done 10,000 miles so wouldn’t expect it to be fighting me.  
 

Only driven it a few miles today though ride doesn’t seem to have been affected much and even with spacers, no rubbing to be had at full lock.  Did push on over some bumpy roads and didn’t bottom out shocks either!

Early days but really pleased with initial results, just need to keep an eye on long term wear.  Please see below a pic after install.

 

That looks to be sat perfectly now. 

Who says white cars don’t shine 😎

Thanks pal 👍

I’ve also extended the invitation to the LC500 owners as they are truly special cars that share our power plant. 

Hello all, 

My name is Ben and I lurk about mainly on the ‘F’ pages as I’m an owner of an RCF. 
 

I’m on here to extend an invitation to owners of the LC500 as your cars are truly special too. 
 

Its going to be on the morning of the 24th September at 0915 at 

The Departure Lounge Cafe in Alton near Basingstoke. ( Google it as i cant seem to attach a link on here )

post code is GU34 4BH 

It would be great to see some of you there with your stunning cars and meet some of the other owners. 

Ok, lets go for the 24th of September then. 
We will meet at the departure lounge around 0915. 
The only caveat I will put on this, is that if the weather is horrendous and pouring with rain I’ll call it off 

As promised, I’ve finally got down to 2 workable dates in September for ‘The Departure Lounge’ which is a Cafe in Alton near Basingstoke. 
We can either have the 3rd or the 24th  of September either of which is a Saturday. 
Cafe opens at 0900, so I will say to meet at 0915-0930. 
Please give me the best date that works for you if you would like to come and the date with the majority of attendees will win. 
Post code is GU34 4BH and the website is -

Did you sell private or part ex to a dealer?

Are we still doing Alton in Sept/Oct or am I also getting confused? 🙂

I hope so. I haven’t heard anything, so I’ll bell them again. 

As jgtcracer said above, it’s personal choice. I’m on brand new Michelin PS5’s and they feel really good. 
But I’m a Michelin fan. The Goodyears are really good too though. As above. 
I’m not a fan of Pirelli’s or Bridgestone but that’s just personal choice. 

Looking good mate. 👍

I’ll start a different thread for any meeting I can organise as I’m starting to lose track of what is going on in this thread. 👍

Mine is on standard diff and does it too. Nothing to worry about. 
It’s the nature of the beast with a Torsen diff.
