Used to drive me nuts! It's the way they always think they are the first to say it to you. Do something original, don't be a clone! lol

Just checked his Insta, no posts seen 2018.

You are not that far from SRD.

VID-20220925-WA0003~3.mp4 A tunnel, a 5.0 V8, had to be done

Replaced the wrapped front 'F' badge with a custom black 'L'. I think it's much better

Yes, it is way to quiet in stock form. It's pretty much perfect now I would say

I'll sort one later. Literally ran down in my lunch break to pick it up and did the video quick before returning to work

And fitted. Much more like it should be. V8 goodness

RCF doesn't have valves unfortunately. Were you left with big holes in the grill cut by Lexus? Couldn't believe the mess they made when I removed mine.

Order on the way

19x8.5J front with 255/35/19 tyres 19x9.5J rear with 275/35/19

It was to 'Chrome'. I wanted the darker look more than anything.

I am so happy with the car. It is everything I wanted. Only one little downside I've found is when in normal auto mode there is slight delay in shifting down gears when overtaking. But this is eliminated by sports+ or using the paddles. Fitted a Jap style front plate on Friday which I think makes the front look better. Would still prefer no plate, may buy a flip out one as have some space under the front lip.

Some great pictures of my car from Japfest by _strusse on insta. Also removed the Big chrome L and replaced with an F on the front

Was a great day! We had 2 Supra on our stand. Saw a few on track too which was awesome! I got burnt as well! Lol

Do you mean compared to the ISF? Found this online: You’ll find the same cast-aluminum block that’s now doing business in the IS-F, but everything else about this DOHC 5.0-liter V-8 engine has been revised. Lightweight titanium valves are again matched with strong, forged connecting rods, but there are new cylinder heads that still incorporate variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams. The polished crankshaft is smaller in diameter to reduce friction, while the pistons reduce friction as well. Naturally the intake manifold and exhaust headers are new, and the exhaust barks with a sharper, louder note. This engine spins faster than before to deliver 471bhp. I also know it has a better ECU map.

Had the front grill and windows de-chromed today. Looks so much better!

Carbon boot spoiler with lip added. Subtle but more than the stock one.

Lexus warranty is amazing! It doesn't have to be purchased from a dealer, it's transferable between private sales as well. As long as it has been serviced at Lexus has 10 year 100k miles.

Better pic

Lowered and tyres switched (needs a wash now)

New wheels test fitted. Bigger tyres to go on and need 5mm spacer on front as you can barely fit a piece of paper between the spoke and calliper

Looking for some 20" alloy for the Lexus. Thought I'd see if anyone on here would have anything that may possibly fit. 5x114.3, staggered (8J - 10J) and ET around 40. Thanks!
