Default Goodbye RCF, hello ISF
Lexus has agreed to purchase my vehicle back and I decided to go back to an ISF. I had a 2008 Ultrasonic Blue ISF previously, and decided to pick up a 2011 ISF this time as a replacement. Although I am sad to see the RCF go, this new ISF has some goodies that came with the car which appear to be Toms diffuser, Lexon lip (maybe replica), and ISSForged quad exhaust. I am putting my JoeZ intake pipe which I've held onto since my USB ISF onto the new car as well

Since I will be returning the RCF soon, I decided to put the two cars together for a brief couple night shots in DTLA. I am obsessed with Obsidian...

I think only one person has attempted this and I don't think it's a direct swap either as far as brackets, wiring, or even seat belts (I think he had to replace with Porsche seat belts...$$$)

But I agree, the most missed thing will be the steering wheel and seats from the RCF... they are just so much better looking than anything else from BMW or MB

Recurring fuel pump issues. Decided against another RCF for now but would probably pick a later model year RCF up in a few years time

I think it is hit and miss, there are those that have had issues and those like myself that have not.


I suspect it is related to an inventory lot, build date/location, something along that lines.
