Hi guys

If anyone is keen on RCF pads, I got them listed in the Buy/Sell section in forum

Cheers 

Hello guys,

I cleaned my garage tonight and found brand new RCF pads for Front and Rear still in original packaging.

Front: Bremtec Euroline BT15011ELH

Rear: Bremtec Pro-Series BT23290PR0

See attached photos 

These pads are good for street with light track duties. I was planning to use them for my RCF but sold the car before I got the opportunity to install them. 

I think these pads are compatible with GSF models but not ISF, please do your homework.

Price $300.00 + postage

^{There's not much aftermarket options for RCF, let alone ECU tuning.}

Only company that I know off is reputable with the Lexus brand is RR racing from USA

I don't know any local supports in Australia 

Ta..thanks mate

have you had 1st hand experience with Tom's or Novel?

Hi guys,

Looking at upgrading coilover for the RCF, the purpose is to improve handling and steering response for track work.

I don't daily the RCF 

There's not many options out there, Novel, RR racing, BC, KW but seems like Novel and RR has done a fair bit of R&D in their product. Can't source anything locally, MCA don't make coilovers for the RCF but enquired anyway, hopefully hear from them soon. 

Has anyone upgraded to coilovers and would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the information

Not looking forward at the expense of replacing the rotors on mine..!!!!!!

Have you tried this mob here in Brisbane 

https://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/catalogsearch/result/?q=vehicle&make=Lexus&model=RC&generation=2014-%2B%28C10%29&submodel=RC%2BF

Offers good advice and pricing.

Cheers 

brake pads thinning post 25k is pretty standard issue on the OEM pads. I had this issue with my ISF too. 

It's a heavy car and honestly who drives the RCF sedately. 

I haven't changed mine yet but will due in due course, only @ 20k. When i was looking to purchase the RCF, cars around the 25k mark all had fairly thin OEM pads. 

congrats on the lexus..

love the white paint job..kinda miss my white isf

awesome engine note past 4k rpm

my first mod..

bloody tint the windows..feels like i'm sitting in a fish bowl without the tint

congrats man...you're gonna love it

that nebular grey is really nice when seen in person..!!!!!!

this RCF is AMAZING...!!!!!!!

GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR

I'll put an order for the catch cans

Definitely worth the investment. Since I installed I have had less than 1,000 kms and it's almost a quarter full. Its daily driven and attended one F drive day.

 

Can you show me a photo of your install? is it failry easy to do or any modifcaitons required? 

the RR website says you have to modify the engine cover to fit the catch cans? 

Does it work and how much oil gets accumulated in the catch can? 

I think all Aus delivered RCF comes with TVD and nearly fully optioned comparted to oversea models. The Aus options are different wheels and carbons upgrade. 

As for plans, probably aesthetics mods (front lips, side skirts and rear diffuser) and upgrade coilovers and brake pads. Will likely do track days 3-4 times per year. Not chasing records or be the fastest. 

Happy to have a bit of fun in it.....

2bling....if it wasn't for the flight restrictions and lockdowns.. I wouldn't hesitate doing a road trip back to Bris, it's the ideal way to get acustomed to the RCF fairly quickly....

Enjoy the photos....!!!!

End up buying a starlight black with red interiors

Delivery next week...!!!! the agonising wait begins...

Thanks Jaylexen for your reply....

Have you changed brake fluids for track duties? 

Hi guys,

Another query regarding the RCF.

I know everyone's situation is different when it comes to insuring their RCF because of so many variables to consider.

Just want to know which company you guys insure your RCF with and why did you chose them as your insurer.

i've been doing the usualy, Shannons, AAMI, Allianz etc and they range between 1900 to 2200 for 39 year old, clean history and garage at work and home. 

ta...thanks for the reply

Hi guys, looking at getting back into another Lexus. 

I've noticed some rcf comes with black or orange brake calipers. Are there performance difference between them or just for aesthetics. The vintage I'm looking at is 2015 and 2016.

The red coloured are reserved for carbon ceramic brakes and for later models.

Thanks in advance
