Default 3rd seat belt

Has anyone or is it possible to fit the middle seat belt in the isf.
Need a 5th seat for a few miles

Seat belt? Nah. I made someone sit there a couple times. They really loved the stiff suspension while sitting on the hard plastic cover, but it was better than walking, I'm told.

You could get an IS250/350 rear seat and swapped it out BUT there would be no seat belt for that passenger.

Can't help you but I'm interested in where your from.

The ISF is very rare in the UK, apparently 49 sold in 2012.

Whereabouts in Ayrshire are you from.

Would love to see some pics with local scenery.

FYI, the load capacity of the ISF based on the owners manual is only 660 lbs (300 kg) total.
Therefore, with 4 persons, 165 lbs/person and no luggage.
If Lexus made the ISF a 5 seater, the average weight of each person is 132 lbs with no luggage.

I have no idea why the load capacify of the ISF is only 660 lbs, maybe is because of the low profile tires?

Probably only 200 sold as Lexus never advertised it and they would have sold them if they wanted to

Great part of the country, there's some great roads around that area to really wind the ISF up.

I have relatives in Dalmellington, I'm from North Ayrshire originally, a wee place called Largs.

I'd love to get an ISF on some of those back roads.

Would still love to see some pics.

I would say it's all down to the fuel cost.

Some great roads in the UK for the ISF.

Your probably one of the very very few that posts on the UK ISF forum.

Great car, very unique.

Cheers.
