In the First road trip with the ISF. I wanted to test out the absolute best mpg that this V8 can get, which is gonna surprise you. #isf #lexusisf #v8 #Vegas #LA #SD
@@impreza2k6 Lucky I'd love a blue. Have a 2011 white for 6 months now but here in Australia there's only under 1100 cars and probably less than 300 2011 and up, currently 28 cars total for sale and 2 blue 08s but I wouldn't get anything but 2011 or higher
you mumblin bro speak up ! PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING if youre saying the best thing ever but your presentation is shit no one will listen, you got this cousin !!
Finally some F content, these cars don't get enough love. Just fyi for longevity try to fill her up above at least a quarter tank, your high pressure fuel pumps get a lot more wear and tear from heat when the car runs with low gas.
Thanks man I appreciate the support, and that’s exactly why I wanted to start my channel because theres little to no F content creators, Oh for sure, I didn’t know that, I usually never let the F get to complete empty but for the purposes of testing out the 100% complete effectiveness of the V8 I let it drop to empty
There’s really 2 ways that are proven to work, I use the Grom Vline which is a module you connect to the car and behind the nav and store that module in your glove compartment and that gives you a factory looking CarPlay the second is the beat sonic route which you fully remove the lower radio portion of the center console and add in an aftermarket double din radio, I do have other videos on my channel about my Vline if you want to check it out🤙🏾
Loved my 08’ F! Bought it used at 77k and put 100k trouble-free “hard” miles on it! Only thing that went wrong was front rotors started to have micro fractures but that didn’t happen until 80k miles. Also the touch sensor (digitizer) of screen stopped working. Was a cheap DIY fix but required taking the console apart.
I got mine at 170k and now at 213k with no issues all maintenance and VP leak taken care of at dealer along with new dash and interior panels all around, before I purchased, car runs smooth and is amazing keeping up with cars today still, I haven’t had any issues with the screen yet, the guy I bought it off of did upgrade the screen to a newer year ISF screen and the digitizer before selling to me
Nice! Definitely keep an eye on those rotors for fractures. I used OEM replacements that weren’t branded Lexus and the job wasn’t too expensive. Come to think about it, my dash was starting to “melt” in the heat of summer days in Southern Louisiana.
It’s actually the factory infotainment screen, I’m just running a Grom vline so I can have Apple CarPlay and play my own music, none of the ISs came with Apple CarPlay until the 4is, and only 2010+ IS infotainments came with Bluetooth music
Yes from factory it takes 91 (premium here in SoCal) the factory ecu tho can run an E30 mix efficiently and make a little more power and throttle response, for me that’ll be like 5 gallons of e85 and then filling the rest of the tank with 91, I am goanna make a video pretty soon about running e30 blend on the ISF
Since I’ve owned the car I’ve never used any cleaner, the computer said 250 miles but that’s because it was used to my spirited highway/city driving, but realistically it was closer to 280-290 when I drove it easy and aimed for efficiency, on the way back it was definitely 300+
Yes it’s the stock infotainment screen with the Grom Vline hooked up, I personally like this set up better because it retains the factory look with updated functionality
Did an outing in my RCF. Eco doing 70 about 600 ish miles round trip getting 33mpg, second generation 2URGSE and beyond uses the Atkinson Cycle firing order like the Prius without shutting off cylinders when you want to cruise, you want to get rowdy then it’ll switch back to the Otto cycle. 212k is just getting started lol saw one sell on marketplace last year with 394k. Gorgeous ISF dude.
Absolute crazy numbers from a V8, getting turbo 4/6cyl engine numbers😂 and yes if I remember right all 2URs switch between firing cycles but the ISF 2UR isn’t as aggressive on the cycle changes (rewarding) as later Gens, with the ISF they wanted to prove a point that Lexus can change the game they just choose not to😂 I’m sure if Lexus took the BMW approach and went for power with luxury instead of luxury with power, it’ll change the car world forever and thanks man I appreciate it🤙🏾
Just got my ISF today in blue with 85k on the clock, already in love with it. Keep the vids coming bro 🔥 🔥
Congrats, I have a 2012 blue fbo for the last 6 year and best car I’ve own so far.
I fall in love with my car more and more every day, and thanks man I appreciate your support 🤙🏾

ah u lucky mf
Had my 2012 with 60k on the clock for about 4 mos and I can’t get enough of this sound. I’ve hit UEL PPE headers w the valved varex exhaust 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻

PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING
if youre saying the best thing ever but your presentation is shit no one will listen, you got this cousin !!
Always appreciate some F content!
Thanks man I appreciate your support🤙🏾
I've owned mine since new in 08 - 77k on it now and daily drive it through all weather here in Chicagoland. You'll have that car to 300k no problem.
Oh easily, I’m already at 215 no problem, VP and door panels were done before I owned the car, I just gotta do the LCA bushings next

Hey man, how were you able to add CarPlay to system. I’m curious because my dad has an ISF and I would like to add CarPlay if possible

@@FFamilyLB Bet! Appreciate it!
is that the VLINE system?
Yes it is, 10/10 would recommend
Damn what a car 😮💨 with the amount of miles too, shit is crazy
Yup 213k on the clock getting damn near 30 MPGs on a V8 comfortably with no hiccups, like I said, continues to amaze me
I used to get to Vegas from oc on 3/4 tank. Loved my F but hat to go with a Tesla Model 3 performance. Faster quiet and more modern
Cant stump the performance of those sporty teslas but imo nothing is ever really goanna top that V8 feel and sound

yooo you have to tell me what media unit youre using!!! it fits very nicley in there!
It’s actually the factory infotainment screen, I’m just running a Grom vline so I can have Apple CarPlay and play my own music, none of the ISs came with Apple CarPlay until the 4is, and only 2010+ IS infotainments came with Bluetooth music
drove from salt lake to Charlotte, dry, rain sleet and snow, no problems no regrets good fuel mileage and I loved the seats.
Exactly, overall best road trip car I’ve owned😂
212k n still running that good, there's a reason these used ifs w low miles are costing as much as a newer skatpack charger
Exactly man, continues to surprise me every day
2010 ISF here with 135k miles. The most I got was 32 MPG. I average 23 however because... v8. Ive had mine 5 years & still running down 392s & SS
bro, mines constantly around 17-18, the best I got was 27 which is what they claimed...I was in constant wonder that maybe my car's got some problems.
I average about 19-21 city/highway driving unless I want to have some fun😂
@@csfynabranch4496…. Most are driving HW. This car is 18-20 city with HW.
Does it only take premium?
Yes from factory it takes 91 (premium here in SoCal) the factory ecu tho can run an E30 mix efficiently and make a little more power and throttle response, for me that’ll be like 5 gallons of e85 and then filling the rest of the tank with 91, I am goanna make a video pretty soon about running e30 blend on the ISF
Is F🔥🔥🔥
250+miles? Have you used fuel clean injector?
Since I’ve owned the car I’ve never used any cleaner, the computer said 250 miles but that’s because it was used to my spirited highway/city driving, but realistically it was closer to 280-290 when I drove it easy and aimed for efficiency, on the way back it was definitely 300+
Oh ok, about to say, enjoy and I hope you never get rid of it.
Yea the computer adjusts according to how it’s driven😂 and I hope not to, if the engine ever goes out I’ll RCF swap/2j/LS swap it
Congratulations
Thank you, I appreciate it
is that the stock infotainment with the grom vline kit or is it a different head unit? i got an 08 and really want apple/android car play
Yes it’s the stock infotainment screen with the Grom Vline hooked up, I personally like this set up better because it retains the factory look with updated functionality
🔥🔥great vid
Thanks man, I appreciate it

Most I've done in my ISF was 31mpg on a 380-mile trip. Once I hit the country roads, it dropped a bit.
@FFamilyLB ISF doesn't switch to the Atkinson cycle. That was one if the new features of the RCF.
true, i can easily get 29 mpg on my 2015 RCF in eco mode cruising, and ive not seen in below 21 mpg since i got it tbh
@TobajzzHD You're not getting on it enough lol I have had my down to 12mpg when I'm romping on it. FBO catl3ss with a tune can get nasty fun.
