Default Lov my IS-F!!got questions...

Hello dear members,

Just got my IS-F and i'm loving the car!!

But I would like to know the best way to launch the car? What was your experiences?

Also I am getting a custom exhaust this friday, i'm going catless...anybody on this forum do it yet?? I'd love to hear it before..

And lastly, the valve opens at 4k to give amazing sound..how could I always have that sound? Is there a air intake already available?When are we expecting ECU upgrades,suspension,etc....

Thxs in advance...and here are a couple of pics of my new best friend...

Cheers,

So Cathafer...you removed the 2 cats & Resonator and you don't want to share it with your IS-F buddies??

Nice ride.. Lucky you got the Michelins! Can't wait to hear when someone finally posts a vid of their exhaust.. It'd be nice to hear how it sounds..

Wow, still so green up in Canada -- all the grass and many of the trees already brown here in CA!! (Drought!!)

Yea well you can say we have green but we also have 5 months of WINTER/FALL hell where you basically can't drive an IS-F...

I just stick to my Jeep SRT8 for those days...

Cheers and I will get MY VIDEO of the exhaust ASAP....because my name is not Cathafer....hihihihihhihihii

Cheers IS-F freaks..,

Love the color of the car, but the polished/gunmetal wheels look stuning on the ISF. You are luck that you have those, since we dont have them here in the states .

Really?

So what's the difference with the U.S and Canada cars?

NM edition cars have them here in the U.S. right? I really don't see THAT much of a difference in the hand-polished (IMHO)..They are nice though!

The U.S only gets ISF with gunmetal finish on the wheels. The only way to get the polished / gunmental is to order them from outside the U.S or to have purchased a N.M editon ISF. IMO I think that the polished / gunmetal ones just give the wheels just that little extra touch
