Anybody else have this problem with the sikky headers touching one of the 10mm screws from the heat shield?
dang, does it rattle like crazy? My PPE headers were touching a bit of the heat shield so I had my tech slice a very small piece off, but the bolt had a lot of clearance from the headers.
Almost forgot Mugens are still around lol. I tracked my 8thgen civic and still own it to this day. Best beater for the money
Definitely!

and it was fun when people race thinking poor little kid with his 4 door civic, and then I would smoke them!!! now I will be the one getting smoke by kids on their civics...
Yep exactly! lol.. after 3 or so years now it was getting boring. Just sold my 2008 Civic Si sedan last week... great daily. Only reason i sold it is cause I want to get something more practical daily/backup for my parents to drive as well like an accord maybe...
see just leave it as is... looks awesome... by the way how much did you get the rims?
thanks MrKim!

Looks just like mine, love it!
thanks man, I missed my civic but the F makes it a little bit easier to forget.
how did you resolve the bolt problem? Have had mine for 2months. So annoying and tight squeeze
I took the 2 14mm bolts from the header to the exhaust and used a pry bar to move the header a little and lossen up the 10mm bolt then I used a saw saw to cut it!
Make sure the 60k service was done, that includes spark plugs and differential fluid flush. Also check for water pump leak. Take the VIN and put it on http://owners.lexus.com to see which dealership serviced the car, and you will be able to see full service history for free.
Mileage is no issue on any Lexus, the ISF is no different.
I just registered on the lexus owners site and was able to view what services were performed on my IS-F I just purchased. Also any concerns or suggestions from the customer and tech were listed as well.
