I just purchased “dba T3 rotors” for my brothers car. & on their web site, the T3’s are made out of better metal, XG150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron. which they say has “an increase in thermal capacity property allows the rotor to handle constant extremes of heat over extended periods of time”.

Hello TheWoozle. Yes we did drive down the west coast as much as we could on sealed roads. there were a lot u turns or detours when the road turned to dirt. I don’t like driving my Lexus on unsealed roads, but I did travelled on one unsealed road, and that was on the “Lake Highway the A5”, from Bothwell to Deloraine. which had a 22km section, (that was in very good condition). I tried to drive as close to the coast as I could all the way around. We travelled 4850km in Tasmania, from Devonport to Devonport. Tasmania it was a great drive.. I have attached a map, the yellow line is where we drove.

Welcome to the club, your IS350 F sports looks good, enjoy. I’m in Sydney, but I drove around Tasmania in May 2016, it’s a great place. I drove my Lexus off the boat at Devonport and headed west. I believe I went to the same spot of your 1st picture of your IS350 F sports, at that look out, “Table Cape Geological Site”. I didn’t see another Lexus vehicle on my Tassie drive until I got over to the east coast. It’s good to see you flying the Lexus flag.

BLK ISF, that’s a good price for Project Mu NS400 front pads. I like quiet & low dust pads for the street, I hate dirty mags. Shim kit, you should be ok, see what your mechanic says. Sparky, what type of track pads were you using, and how were they. track pads are hard to live with on the street, noisy and so dusty.

I use OEM rotors, but I use Project Mu pads, here is link to their website. takes a couple of days for delivery. http://www.project-mu.com.au/en/products/index_pads.php

Well done, all ISF's need a sports exhaust.
-
Lets hope they can keep the weight down. an R8 is just under 1600kgs
-
wow, that would be nice..
-
I like how you have relabelled it correctly.
-
I do not know about a down loadable version, but I scanned this from my ISF service book, which shows what is carried out each service. I hope this will help.

They must be getting cheap. on my USB stick I had a video of me in the LFA passenger ride, and also in the ISF. It was 2011. Yes the LFA does make an amazing sound..
-
It good you enjoy the day. The GSF is a nice vehicle. Check the USB stick, when I did my half day, there was a couple of small videos on it.

RR Racing - Air / Oil separator and USRS - Installed!
LTuned replied to Sparky's topic in Lexus IS-F Club
Cannot see any in mine yet, but I haven’t driven much. I’m sure there will be some in it at the track, and the hot weather is coming. I like the RR bushes, much more feed back to the steering wheel. -
285 will look great on the back of an ISF. it will be good to hear how you go.

I like the 275/35 on the rear mags of the ISF, which for the Michelin PSS, have a diameter of 26.6 inches, the stock size tyres in Michelin PSS, 255/35 have a diameter of 26 inches. info from the Tire Rack. The 275/35 are slightly larger in diameter than the stock tyres, and as all car speedos over read by 5 to 10kph at 100kph, it will make the speedo more accurate. The 35 series on the back will also give a slightly better ride over the 30 series tyres. they also say 275 is the max that you can put on a 9 inch wide rim. Tyre pressures are a funny thing, my PSS road tyres, I run 230 kpa when cold in the rear tyres, & 245 kpa when cold in the front tyres, as the fronts always work harder. The lower pressure in the rear tyres is much better for traction, only pump them up if you have a heavy load in the back. Pressure are different for the track. In my track tyres, I run 46 psi when hot in the front tyres, otherwise you can roll the front tyres and run on the side wall. & 36 psi when hot in the rear tyres, as the rear tyres don’t roll much. any higher in the rear tyres and the back slides around too much.

Coconut2001, thanks, that’s what I thought when I first saw them. I still have the standard suspension fitted on my ISF. I like the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, plenty of grip.
-
With 265/35 you should get away with not rolling the rear guards, I think it would be close. It’s more about your new mag wheel offset. As 275/35 on the standard mags fit under the rear guards, as do 245/35 on the front. I have different mags that I use for the track, and they have more offset on the rears. I also run 275/35 on them, but because of their offset I had to roll the inside of the rear guards for them to fit. The Tire Rack is a good place to look at tyres, as you can look at all their brands and see what sizes they come in, and they have a lot of info about tyres. Here a link to their tyres by brand page. http://www.tirerack.com/content/tirerack/desktop/en/tires/by-brand.html

As long as it is done correctly, there should be no issues. It just depends who you trust.

My ISF has been flushed a few times now. There is no dipstick for checking the fluid level. so you must put back in the exact same amount that you drain out, and they need to be at the same temperature for correct measurement. If you flush it, you will not know for sure. I’ll keep getting Lexus to do mine.

Track days are fun.

RR Racing - Air / Oil separator and USRS - Installed!
LTuned replied to Sparky's topic in Lexus IS-F Club
Just drove home after having the RR Racing USRS bushes & there air/oil separator installed, the steering feels better and there is no noise. I’m happy. -
$9950.oo US dollars for the kit.. My RR Racing USRS bushes & there air/oil separator cost me $103.oo US dollars just for postage. What would the postage cost be for the supercharger kit?? Then the installation costs $$$. There would be a lot of modifications needed, & the radar cruise control looks like it is removed. Correct me if I’m wrong, that would have to be around $17,000.oo to $20,000.oo AU dollars installed. That been said, I would like a drive..

Just have a look at the RR Racing website, that way you can look at all their stuff, prices & info. It’s well worth a look. -
Hello Blacky, what a small world. I enjoyed the day. I wasn’t advised of any photos, but I was given a usb stick with a video of me in the LFA and ISF passenger ride.

I have been to a Lexus drive day at Sandown Raceway back in October 2011. As it was put on by Lexus it was a great day, and well worth attending. I got to drive 3 different Lexus model on the day, and also had a hot lap in the LFA, driven by Scott Pruett. you will enjoy the day.
