@@lunara9158 I can agree that it kind of sounds like an amg, but it is nothing like an e92/e90 m3, especially because it's auto. The S65 sounds so much better than this or a big ass amg v8

Nice to see another RHD ISF, I imported mine from Japan to Canada. Do you find any drone with the X-Force exhaust? Cheers!

[@EnjinTale]

Not the standard XForce. But this muffler delete setup with the XForce definitely has some drone in low rpm (1200-1500). I usually try to stay out of that range and it’s no issue for me. Thanks for the support!

What tire/size are you running? I feel the oem size are too thin. Some people are running 245.35 275.30 instead of the oem 225.40/255.35. Nice sound, I'm getting my 08 white pearl with only 90000km out of the garage next weekend. Unless it snows 😅

[@EnjinTale]

I’ve got OEM tyre size, so am running 225.35/40 (can’t remember if it’s 35 or 40) and 255.35 in the rear. I wish it snowed more where I live so I could be a hooligan!! We don’t get snow all year round though :(

[@Hammar89]

@@EnjinTale alright, it's 40 front, 35 rear. Some madmen on forums tried 255/35 front and 295/30 rear. Can't remember if it was the 08 wheels or the facelift wheels though. Facelift has wider rims. 😁

[@EnjinTale]

@@Hammar89 I would never go that big personally, I get all the traction I need with 255’s. ISF’s have incredible traction from factory I find.

[@Iusniqa]

Anything to look at for before buying? Does it needs TCU tune?

[@EnjinTale]

Absolutely not, transmission is brilliant as is. TCU tune would be a nice bonus though if money isn’t an issue

[@Pharrell1]

Was looking at is350s as my next car 2012 ish still worth it?

[@EnjinTale]

I had an Is350 before the ISF. Depends what you’re looking for. Technically the is350 is a better daily. It’s cheaper components (brakes etc.) so cheaper maintenance, and a smaller engine for better economy. The softer suspension is nicer for daily drivability too, and ofcourse incredibly reliable. It’s also pretty fast in a straight line because of the gearing. If that’s what you can afford, it’s a pretty good all round car.

[@possession3929]

curious, have you ever changed the transmission fluid?

[@EnjinTale]

Transmission flush was done by the previous owner before I bought the car at 154xxx. Car is at 168xxx currently.

I just found 2011 with only 8000 miles for sale but owner asking for 56k that’s pricey to me

[@EnjinTale]

My advice; if you’re looking for a garage queen, get a low mileage car, but if you’re looking to drive it like it’s made to be, a high mileage ISF is the way to go. It’s cheaper, and you don’t feel bad for putting miles on it while having fun. Mine has 105k miles, and runs like a champ. There’s an ISF out there with 400k+ miles on it still running like a champ. You truly can’t go wrong with an ISF 🙏

[@bGzzzzz]

Pricey?? Do you know how much they go for brand new??? With 8000miles, that’s virtually brand new. Goodluck finding another one with that mileage for that price
