Very sad to see a 10 year getting sent to the graveyard and will never return, only in spirit.

A quick mod for the RCF gt3. I really love this casting, very accurate to the actual car which made the mod easy. It has a separate wing, separate roll cage etc. the only 2 things I don’t like is missing mirrors and the iconic L-shape DRL. Luckily redo the headlights and mirrors are not too hard on this one.

Car meant so much to me but it left me wanting more. Phenomenal car, phenomenal platform, just didn’t scratch my itch. I do not regret any of it!

Bye Lexus, hello BMW…

How’s it going guys, I hope you’re all doing well!

I do have a lot of questions so I apologise for the yap in advance😂

I’m living in Ireland and I love Lexus RC’s. They are extremely rare and sexy here compared to everything else. I’m in my early 20’s and in Ireland, road tax and insurance will make it a prerequisite to sell an internal organ to own a 350…

But with the way fuel prices are, I don’t mind importing the 300h anyway. Sexy, economical and performance isn’t THAT big to me, (0-100km/0-62mph in 8.6 seconds😭)
To the RC300h owners, does it feel sluggish?

But on the off chance I sell an organ which may or may not be mine, is the RC350, 300 or 200t mpg as bad as people say?
For reference, RC300h official combined fuel economy of about 56.5 to 57.6 UK mpg, with real world 40 - 48mpg or if there’s anyone that owns, what figures do you get?

And for the owners out there of all RC variants, how much mileage is too much? I’m seeing examples of 100,000km, 192,000km and inbetween.
Selling for €10,000 - €15,000 (just to import mind you, taxes add an extra €3,000-€6,000 on arrival.

Should I expect any major maintenance with this car at those ranges? And how high mileage do these last? What’s everyone on right now?

For those with and without Mark Levinson speakers, are they a must have?? I’m a pretty big audio and bass head. I’m coming from a 2015 Jaguar XF with the Meridian Surround system and it is genuinely orgasmic.

It really doesn’t have to be to that level, just good enough audio to not want to remove my ears. Or has anyone looked into aftermarket setups if it wasn’t enough for you?

I’ve also heard about inner tyre wear? Is that common? If so has anyone experience and fixed the issue?

Thanks for taking the time to read lads

This section isn’t really irrelevant so you needn’t read beyond, but what cars did you own before?

I’m coming from a 2012 BMW N47 520d, and Jaguar XF 2.2d and have lost my f*** marbles watching the timing chain on the BMW blow up and the Jaguar have an electrical seizure…
My Jaguar didn’t recognise the key and I was out for a week because it was either FLY IN AND ACCOMODATE a man from the UK ($$$$) or spend €500 on equipment and learn how to conjure spirits coding it myself, which thanks be to god, I did and did it scotch free and refunded the equipment.

I’m hearing the Lexus reputation, it’s time to switch sides before I do something to a BMW and Jaguar HQ…🕴️

Just purchased and Im in love. Looking for recommendations for tuning it. Is Mforce as unreliable as I’ve read? I looked at RR Racing but saw they dont offer for the later models.

I need the cover that goes over the cabin air filter in the glovebox. It’s the black piece, separate to the actual filter but part of the glovebox. I’ve called the dealer and they were only able to give me the part number for the plastic cover that holds the air filter. Please let me know if anyone can help! Thanks.

RC300 F sport RWD, 33k miles, 1 owner, clean car fax. Is this a good price? If not how much should I ask?

Been having an issue since yesterday where there’s a delay during startup

Is this worth getting for 15k? It has around 52k miles on it.

And stock wheels will be back on in a month or two. Wanted to share the summer look. It’s a love it or hate it contrast… but I like it.

Hello fellow RC owners! I recently picked up this 350 F sport and am enjoying it a lot. But I do want to eventually lower it a bit, the front seems to be a bit high, no issues with the rears but might as well replace the whole system if I’m lowering it. I’m looking for coilover suggestions, some that won’t break the bank but aren’t completely horrible. Let me know what you guys think, thanks! (PS, A few Technicians I know have not recommended lowering springs because it messes with the ride feel, not sure if that’s completely true tho)
