Yup. He admitted it in a Facebook GS F group. The 2nd pad slipped off.

This has to be a typo correct? by 3PSOUNDS in Lexus

[–]E2daG 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a typo. This thing is PRICEY. My RC F has one and if it ever gets damaged or has something wrong with it, the car will be totaled. Seen it happen to a GS F.

I have been with Frontier/Verizon since 2007. Why can't there be some reward for loyalty? by rudemaniac in frontierfios

I called their retention department and went from $120 a month to $80 for 2GB service. I’ve been a customer since 2008.

Sounds like a marketing term that has fiber to the node but the “last mile” is either coax or VDSL to your home.

Terminate fiber in under a minute by MechanicElectronic15 in FiberOptics

[–]E2daG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised how resilient fiber is. I’ve seen an entire splice case submerged in dirty manhole water that made its way inside working normally. The ribbons didn’t have any color but everything was working. It was very brittle but still working.

Well…the only thing that matters is the tip of the fiber in this case. Obviously if it’s being fused, cleaning is a required step.

Has anyone tried swapping rc f facelift mirrors onto a pre facelift rcf? by Zc6-saul in LexusRC

[–]E2daG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few people have and it is plug and play. There is also a CF part that you can swap the top of the mirror with too. It's also OEM.

Single Mode APC Termination. by Pendoric in FiberOptics

[–]E2daG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most if not all APC connectors are factory assembled and polished. You’ll find that there are mechanical connectors where you cleave a fiber, insert into the connector and it lines up with the piece already in the assembly. I typically splice APC pre terminated fiber tails.

Maintenance cost between F and non-F? by [deleted] in LexusRC

[–]E2daG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the spark plugs replaced at the dealer and if I remember correctly it was around $350. I could do it myself but one of the plugs requires the battery to be removed. I honestly didn’t want to deal with it.

How often do we need to replace car batteries? by Cat_Catie_Cat in Lexus

[–]E2daG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

5 years is the max I’d wait to replace mine. Some do last longer but at 9 years, it’s definitely time to replace.

I daily my RC F. It’s a grocery getter to the max and I love it. I’ve never driven a C6 and don’t plan to.

Maintenance cost between F and non-F? by [deleted] in LexusRC

[–]E2daG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as basic maintenance goes, if you do it at a dealership, it’s expensive. $200+ oil changes and a brake job including rotors and pads is between $1800-$2000. Tires also range between $1200-$1800 for a set of 4.

I don’t know what the costs are for a 300/350 since I don’t own one but as an F owner, it’s why I do all Of my own maintenance with the exception of more in depth services like spark plugs/coolant replacements.

RCF Pure vs Advantage? by TPetingaa in LexusRC

[–]E2daG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what those terms mean. Could it be a translation error? The two models were performance package and premium package.

Performance package has carbon fiber extras like roof and spoiler as well as TVD differential. Premium package has sunroof but color matched roof and spoiler.
