Maxton ones look a bit cheap when I unwrapped them, but I was very happy with the fitment and the way they look once on. Plus they have flex and cheapish to replace should the worse happen. I couldn't justify £1600 on a carbon front splitter that I might break in a few weeks on a speed bump Edited December 31, 2021 by ben_harmer32 (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited January 25, 2022 by ben_harmer32 (see edit history) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Carbon boot spoiler with lip added. Subtle but more than the stock one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Looks nice mate. Does that version have much difference in the engine vs the older model? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raddys Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 This is probably the only car (or an r8) that I'd replace the supra with, must have ago in an rcf one day! Yours looks stunning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolizma Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Got to say that I was never a big fan of the RC front end but it looks really good de-chromed! I think I prefer the L badge, but it's your car of course! Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 with this Lexus you do everything right when you buy it and it is really fun, friends of mine also drive this model 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
