BLK ISF

Depends on what year your ISF is. The earlier ones like mine is rears 9inch rim. I got aftermarket so no prob. I think 2011 onwards or late 2010 went up .5 inch to 9.5 so 285/30 will fit for the later model ISF's stock. Ps Got 285/30 fitted few hours ago, damn looks huge vs my old 255/35. Very aggressive but need to lip/roll/shave guards. Bit agressive into corners and it scrubs. Will do this tomorrow.

Wouldnt go 255/40, will throw your sizes way out My rims are aftermarket, .5inch wider at 9.5 for the rears so im getting new tyres this afternoon after my morning situation on the Motorway (RIP tyre). Going 285/30 Few guys on the US forums confirmed 285/30 will fit no scrubbing etc for my rims so giving it a go.

Somehow inner part of tyre remained on the rim saving it i think. Cant see any damage, buckling etc. I suspect that bold/screw got the pressure low enough, i didnt notice and put pressure on the inner part of the tyre, well just a theory.

Nothing some good tape and zippy ties couldnt fix eh lol. Trying to find a safe spot to pull over, can see the emergency bay ahead and just cringing as i drive slowly thinking "Please rim be ok please rim be ok lol"

Well i had an exciting morning on the M5 about 5:30am. Drivers rear gave way, bit sideways then thump thump thump. Nursed her over to the breakdown emergency bay and saw the damage :-( Was planning to get new tyres soon, well that will have to be today now lol Ps Have done about 20000kms out of them, more than what i expected months ago Just hoping no rim damage but towie had a good look for me and suspects its ok as the inner part gave way but it was still riding on the tyre (kind of). Anyways will find out soon enough later today (fingers crossed)

Maybe, anything possible these days. They got 100% rep so just ask the dude. Ask for a clear pic of the tips etc. If legit they wont have an issue showing pics, meeting your demands etc but if they ignore you, guess so. They're in Bankstown, ask if they have a store to see in person etc.

Yep they have to be the one, rings a bell but cant even find the history in my purchases as its too long ago. As mentioned, they posted very quick, he did the deal for 8 quick and theyve been in my car for over a year now no problem. I even called local shops like someone else suggested in Canley Vale, Autobarn, Supercheap etc but no one was close to $17.50 each.

As said, Ebay. Got them over a year ago so dont have the link but from memory it was very easy to find. I think it was the first or second link that popped up (Oz seller not international listings). Just search for FK20HBR11. They had an offer for 4 or 6 (something like that) but i emailed the seller, said i want a deal for 8 and he gave me the price of $140. Bankstown or somewhere Sth west so they came very quick within the week. Ps Hope prices havent increased over the year but i doubt it lol

Yep those are the ones i got are FK20HBR11 . Dealer quoted me approx $40 each but got 8 of them for $140. $17.50 each i thought was a bargain in comparison to the dealer :-)

I cant remember the link/seller as i got mine a while ago but i paid $140 total incl postage from a seller sth west syd. Arrived within days and cheaper than the states. Theres definitely local sellers offering good deals.

To my knowledge it needs 8 x Denso FK20HBR11 I remember Toyota quoting me about $40 each. When i changed mine last service i got them on Ebay (same part #) for $140 for 8

Just an FYI, PPE got back to me a few mins ago. They are now complete, ceramic coated and they are preparing them for shipping now.

Also looking forward to your write up as ill be going through the header install and tune soon enough once they finally arrive. PPE also told me the last one was gettng ceramic coated so fingers crossed Monday will be finished ready for transit to Sydney. Keen to know the before and afters as well. Ive used Jim from Croydon way back in the day with my WRX. Also contacted Con from C&V as they tuned my WRX as well and wanted me to bring my ISF to him to see what they could do. Atleast there is increasing options out there for tuning opportunities.

Hadnt decided yet. Was going to discuss with the installer regarding what hi-flow cats they use, recommend etc. Ill need them as my Xforce catback got rid of those 2 from the rear side.

FYI Getting a bit anxious and thought id alleviate some of the pain of the Mod having to chase it up so got in contact with PPE direct for an update. This was from late last week Yes, we have a large order for some RHD headers in production right now. We have a few done in fabrication and the rest should be done in fab late next week. We only have one fixture and they take a little over a day to make a set. We have one fabricator working on them until they are all done.

Thanks for the info. I smiled after each mod so i can only imagine the transformation doing it all at once. I promised i wouldnt modify the car hence why ive been doing 1 mod at a time. Each time i make the promise, when it wears off i do 1 mod haha. Looking forward to when the headers arrive, ive had it tuned prior and intend on doing so after the headers install when they finally arrive. So ill know the power variance of headers on their own and with a tune with the other mods i got which should be interesting (same dyno, tuner, even similar time of year so hopefully similar conditions so the numbers are more relevant). Ps So are you used to power yet and now looking for your next power mod..........supercharger :-)

Nice pics. We can only dream about the LFA. When i got my airbag recall done last week, saw the LC500 up close and personal. Definitely makes an impression and would stand out on the road, nothing subtle about the styling like the ISF lol. Would be too nervous having that as a daily ride. Someone would be bound to run into it not paying attention.

Generally the more exp one would have a higher CCA. If you are running all original electrical gear in the car then its not an issue but if you have some killer sound system and other electrical equipment, a battery with a higher CCA would be better. Also sometimes the price is due to some being maintenance free whilst others are not. Over the phone the call taker might not have been able to tell you but surprised the technician installing it couldnt. Either way convenient for them to come to you and dispose of the dud battery saving you the hassle :-)

I wanted the blue but couldnt find one at the right price at the time. Ended up getting black, gone the black route changing some chrome parts, black wheels etc. Have to say when clean black is as mean as it gets, turns heads etc but when not clean, its so annoying. If you have the time to keep it clean, black is great. Either are great colours but blue would be easier to maintain, hides blemishes easier

Paid mine in full last week but havent heard any updates here yet. Keen to get them installed as well :-)

Great news. Still waiting for updates here. Paid in full already.

As Noodle Boy has said, Joe Z really is a no brainer when it comes to the ISF. Its hard to discuss ISF's and exhaust in the same sentence without Joe Z entering the conversation. Sound, quality and performance has been discussed, published many times over so its a safe bet. As for price, well thats always a subjective one. You get what you pay for but yes it will be a bit pricey for some. I personally went with Varex as i wanted a system i could keep quiet early mornings so it suited my specific scenarios. I know Armitryx offer the same concept exhaust but i dont think from memory they offer it for the ISF, only the GSF/RCF but could be wrong. There is the Meisterschaft that also has the electronic valve so you can quieten it down but i also remember reading somewhere that it comes with one hell of a price tag. In short, happy reading as there are several exhaust setups that you could go with and most will put a smile on your face vs the OEM exhaust :-)

Hi Danny, just paid you final installment N081671594228. My username as reference Any approx time frames for an ETA?

cant complain with that. Thought you'd be stuck with the non LSD for a while as not many ISFs going around. Good cash and you get some storage space back and now enjoying your new LSD, cant complain. Im sure youre releieved now its all done (thats when the patience pays off)

Good work mate, hope you didnt have to drop too low on price.
