Default New to the ISF club


Hi All - Last week I found a 2012 ISF at a used car dealership in LA. 39k miles, silver exterior, nav system, off-white interior seats, sunroof.

I live in Seattle, so I flew down to check it out. Exterior was super clean 9.5/10 (interior more like 7/10) and everything looked good mechanically so I took it home for $32k pre-tax. That is 1,100 miles back home to Seattle. I avoided I-5 the whole way. Went up the east side of the Sierra Nevada range (picture is from that range on the first day). Spent the night in Carson City, NV, and then through central OR into WA. Super fun drive!

Unfortunately the used car dealership cannibalized the spare tire and kit to make another sale. The replace tire and flat tire kit from Lexus is insanely priced. Does anyone know if there's a cheaper Toyota alternative I can use for my spare tire/kit?

I'm guessing your challenge with finding a spare from another Toyota product would be in fitting the wheel over the ISF brakes. I would suggest scouring the junk yards for an ISF wreck.

Nice one! Good choice on the drive. Just did that route from Vancouver, BC to Vegas and back with a few NSX for a car show down there. Definitely kept us more awake than the I5 route.

Are those exhaust tips factory? They look like the eBay ones in the picture, but it's a little hard to tell.

Yes, those are the eBay ones, not OEM. OEM are stupid expensive. Something must have damaged the originals and the owner chose to use the cheap ones.

I am back to the F family with my 3rd ISF. Sold my first one for a GTR opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Imported my next one from Canada and loved it. Had to travel for work at that time and never got to drive it. Now I am back and plan to keep it forever hopefully.

2008 ISF
Starphire Pearl with black interior
RR Racing Tune
Joe Z Exhaust
Joe Z intake
AFE Dry filter
H&R 10mm spacers
Swift lowering springs
Bridgestone Potenza RE11
245/35 front and 265/35 rear

Planned? Maybe a front lip and rear spoiler
