ben_harmer32 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 As I have a life time membership and like hanging around on here, thought I'd start a thread for my new car Picked up my RC-F Saturday morning, after a few days of ownership, I could not be happier. After mainly having older Japanese cars this is my first trip into newer territory. I love how smooth it is, power delivery is great and all the gadgets are amazing! Few little bits I want to change, personally I think it sits a little high and it needs slightly more of a V8 burble. Also want some different wheels to show off the huge brakes. Will track the changes here. Also, managed 35mpg on the way home on the motorways! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Nice, I often look at these, ISF's and GSF's as possible Supra successors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Thanks guys! After 3 weeks of ownership I could not be happier, don't even slightly miss the Supra. Ordered a few bits in the black Friday sales coming from the states, and on the hunt for lowering springs. Will update soon Edited December 6, 2021 by ben_harmer32 (see edit history) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 Maxton Design Splitter kit. Came with all the bolts and fitting instructions but will get it done by a professional for piece of mind. They are ABS plastic so plenty of flex as well, was what I was wanting after using fibreglass products on the Supra and them always breaking. Got protective film on in the pic, they are gloss black so should have that OEM feel/look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wow great car tbf i was looking at them for the last weeks (also ISF) and im quite sure that would be my next car if i ever decide to sell Supra. Love the sound of V8 how the car looks realiability and im suprised how 5.0 V8 can have a better mpg than 3.0 2jz. Enjoy it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Delivery! After some research I decided to get a set of swift sport lowering springs from the states. Should lower the front by 33mm (1.3 inch) and back by 25mm (1 inch) but leave the ride fairly similar to stock. Box is a bit battered but the springs inside are all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
