  1. Hi, If you follow the wet and wipe instructions it works well and won’t fill in the perforated leather. If you try and apply to think a coat it will / can cover the holes, however they seem to clear themselves again … probably because they have nothing to stick onto.Leatherique - Instructions.pdf
  2. I use this one with Harry’s LapTimer and it works well. Tonwon OBD 2 Bluetooth Scanner - Amazon $31.99 Delivered https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07BVJJRLW/ref=pe_2361882_282382012_TE_item I have only used the free features of the Auto Doctor and it works fine. It claims it is compatible with this and other specified OBD Scanner software ... so I assume it works with all the paid features too. Harry’s LapTimer also offers Harry’s GPS/OBD Buddy app for a $1.49 ... it’s free if you already use Harry’s Lap Timer ... It presents a range of engine data in a much better format than the ‘Scanner’ apps I have attached a screen shot below ... unfortunately I am away so it is not connected to my ISF ... I will upload another screen shot later this week when I have it connected https://apps.apple.com/au/app/harrys-gps-obd-buddy/id320423931
  3. Thanks for letting us know ... just fitted a new set front and rear after my Track Day last month ... might buy a spare set of fronts ... but the rears last so much longer.
  4. Great choice of wheels ... really suit your ISF and complement the blue colour! The Split Lips are a nice touch too!
  5. Hi Babalouie - Tyre Reviews & WPR Lap Times & Data Response Thanks for your tyre reviews and comparisons ... certainly helps with making a informed decision for your Track Day! Thanks for also sharing your lap times and data above and previously, I really appreciate it. I now have Nitto 01’s, however haven’t had the chance to use them at Wakefield yet. They are certainly a lot gripper than my previous Federal 595 RS-RR’s & Hankook RS3’s, although I was using an IS 350 with those. Previously on the ISF I had Nitto 05’s, so like the 595 RS-RR’s & RS3’s UTQG rating was the same / similar as the AD08R’s. I think the Nitto 05’s were hard though, as I went more 4 seconds a lap quicker at SMSP GP Circuit with Nitto 01’s ... and everybody tells me that an R compound semi-slick should be worth approximately 2 seconds a lap ... and I can assure you it certainly wasn’t anything to do with driver improvement. Have you had the ISF out at SMSP yet ... would be happy to share lap times and data if you like. Thanks again for the tyre reviews and sharing the WPR lap times & data. Regards, Matthew
  6. Hi Babalouie - Leatherique Response Firstly I think you have well reached the point where a number of new updates in this thread should really be a dedicated topic / thread in their own right ... there is so much good stuff in here! The first I wanted to thank you for doing properly was the update re repainting your driver’s seat using the Leatherique process. This was so much better, more informative and professional than the other clown who posted about touching up! You can clearly see the difference and moreover the proof is the long lasting wear. I really appreciated your note re the foam replacement in the leather seat to ensure it doesn’t just wear off the same spot again! Your detailed instructions and photos are perfect too and very easy to follow step by step. Pleased to note that Rob replaced the original dye ... he was spot on with mine, twice! Very experienced and nice mature guy who knows what he is talking about and happy to help! Also pleased to note you got such a great outcome after taking your time and doing to right! Thanks, Matthew
  7. Thanks John for letting us know. I now have a OBD 2 Bluetooth Scanner that works! And a second faux Go Pro, I use Harry’s Lap Timer, but your video software and its format / layout is a lot better! Have a great Christmas and New Year! Thanks, Matthew
  8. Hi John, Awesome video ... this is still the best in-car / rear-car / underneath-car video of an ISF on the track that I have seen on YouTube! It definitely helped to confirm my purchase on an ISF too! What app were you using for record your video and data with? Thanks, Matthew
  9. Hi ilv1004s, Thanks for your reply. Sorry to possibly ask a stupid question but is your response related to your starting ‘cold’ pressure and then when the tyres are hot they end up in the high 30’s or are you in fact running 30 psi when they are hot? Thanks in advance for clarifying. Matthew
  10. Carbon fibre looks cool! Neat trick re the updated Sat Nav ... never would have thought that the our screens could ever display that many colours! Like the pronounced side skirts and front lip too! Good idea to black out the Lexus badge given those monster black wheels! Certainly has presence ... and it will never go mistaken for your average ISF!
  11. Nice reflection of the sun setting on the ISF!
  12. Sorry for the late response. I am running square set up ... 245/40/18 ... using the Lexus X Package wheels.
  13. Hi LTuned! Many thanks for the feedback and pleased to note you find the higher pressures work better too! Good article on tyre pressures ... thanks for sending it through! Matthew
  14. Hi All, Just made the upgrade to R Compound Semi Slicks, NT01’s (100 UTQG), and had my first track day on them earlier this week. Previously I have used 595 RS-RR, RS-3 & NT05 UHP Tyres / ‘Street Semi Slicks’ with 200 UTQG Treadwear and ran 40+ psi hot routinely as they yielded the better lap times. What do others think though is the optimum hot psi pressure for R Compound Semi Slicks on our ISF’s? Thanks, Matthew
