Seems Photobucket have decided to ransom everyone who has been hosting any photos through them!

Will have to find an alternative free app or site to host my photos!

Just got my car back from a long road trip up North to Nottingham in the U.K.

Company called BCS worked their magic on my calipers transforming them from a sort of dull peach (originally orange), to a vibrant Kawasaki green.

I personally think it works spot on now the rims are black, as are the lug nuts. It's all darker colours except the calipers which pop!

Also worked out posting photos again, so expect more updates on here for sure.

Got the spare dashboard sitting at home ready to go off for flocking, plus should be ordering my RR-Racing supercharger kit any day now.

Cheers for now guys.

Pete

Looks good, Pete!

I'd like to have my calipers painted one day (probably in "F" blue).. However, I'm concerned with how quickly lighter colors will look dirty, considering the dusty HC+800 brake pads I use during track day season.. Though, I might just pony up the $$$ to try out Endless MX72 pads next year, which are supposedly less dusty.

Quick update. Dropped car off yesterday with SRD along with my three boxes of goodies to fit my s/c kit.

Decided we needed another dyno run to see how the headers, tuned intake and remap did.

Figures are at the flywheel, not wheels. Last run on same dyno netted me 418.1, so 56 gain from PPE headers, tuned intake and remap.

Umm, not what I wanted to see! Guess it’s good they caught it now though. Just more cash I need to find!

Close, but not quite Josh! Lol.

Just the auxiliary belt pulley, but it’s not something I’d budgeted for with the install costs.

Just hope that’s the only surprise addition they discover!

Sooo jealous lol

So you'll be the first Supercharged Lexus IS-F in the UK

Did you get the SC shipped over by dhl or something? or did you carry it over yourself?

Cheers Maz.

Yes, another first for me over this side of the pond mate, should stay that way until you decide to follow suit! Lol

Kit was shipped over by Simon at RR-Racing in three boxes with FedEx mate.

Import tax, duty, VAT etc was an eye watering experience, but at least it's here and being fitted as I type!

Thought I’d share with you guys the photos I was sent by Lee at SRD from day one of the install. Keep in mind they also dyno’d the car before starting, so not a full day. Enjoy!
