I don’t want even imagine how much money and time this guy has on this car. Best is300 I have ever seen. Respect
Years
Still has cheap multi pattern wheeels
@@kbrien23 they are not not multi pattern the holes are to save weight :)
look it up the wheel name is work cr kai
@@OctogonOxygen024816 Not years. Someone can do this work in a month tops. This isn't a sema build, just money and a little bit of time.
For me at least 60~80k Euros spent
Hope your channel blows up because this is one of the best examples to represent the is300.
Thank you very much!
Is that the greddy front lip?
This car is an automotive masterpiece. It reminds why I always thought the Lexus IS was so under appreciated.
Bro.. I don’t know how many times I watched this vid. This inspired me so much that I bought my IS to build my dream car. Thank you for all your videos.
This is as good as an Altezza could get. The attention to details is unmatched. Great car!
Thank you!
This video inspires me. Thank you for inspiring me. I was 15-16 when an is300 was a dream car of mine and I feel so happy now to drive a is300. Stick or not I love it. Stock or not I still love it. This video inspires me because I have a dream to fully build my is300 one day and this keeps that dream alive. Again thank you 🙏🏼 I can’t begin to tell how many times I comeback to this video. Much love from a fan ❤️
Wow. Best IS300 ive seen . Can you build mine lol
Thanks! Just drop it off! 😉
Cleanest one ever seen, those around my neighborhood is shet dirty lol
Group buy in for builds? 😂 haha
This is the absolute BEST car show casings I have EVER seen....period. Tremendous!
Thank you!
I own 2002 IS300 in blue with manual tranny and love this beautiful villain. It is my daily ride too and step by step I am makin it very personal. It was / is a thrill drive every time - doin mods, maintenance and upgrades to unleash more of its charm and potential. Natural high kind of ride each and every time I take this bad boy for a drive, do not want stop, the spell is strong, 1st gen IS fanatics know. Silly cats over the years tried to convince me to quit and sell when it needed repairs that my wallet could not afford to beat, money honey been a challenge - bitter and uneasy, but I did not give up, it was just a matter of effort and time - fixed, revived and brought it back to Life, not sellin my dream ride, I do not regret, would be a fool if I did that. The reward is sweet - drives like charm - purrin on the lights, roarin through the streets, king of the roads that is not to be messed with. Years on and the choice to keep this beast in the past, made me realize - it is a future classic now which in manual tranny is rare and hard to find, what I sloppy fool I could have been if I sold it for chump change to some lucky cat, I would regret it now, no doubts about that.
Fun fact - my fave colour has always been and still is blue so I brainstormed one day and blessed my IS with a special name that I feel really fits. Short and sweet, I call it - Blue Beast.
Braza, I can feel and appreciate the love and passion for your beautiful first generation IS that truly is a unique one of a kind blue beast that you nurtured, raised, built, empowered and its wild character unleashed. And this beautiful video illustrates exactly that. Bad ass and mean, fabulous and clean, powerful and smokin hot! Thoughtful and loyal, devoted and genuine, irresistible and contagious style and vibe.
Will watch your other videos and pay close attention to learn more. Thank you for your good taste, persistent effort and impressive work accomplished.
Hey, thanks for the message! Glad to hear that you're enjoying your own "blue beast". They really are great cars in any form, stock or modified. Thanks again and have an awesome day!
@@twojayKindly appreciate your response! Very true. Let’s keep IS / Altezza vibe alive, bond in the community to thrive, Two Jay steez spark and inspire 2JZ Love & Joy to drive.
scenery and cinematography was absolutely stunning
My God, what a beauty! Now, if it was a SportCross model, like my 2004 IS300, it should be displayed in a museum. Nice to see a motor without all the chrome bling and looking more professional this way. Well done!
The best IS300 I have seen. They are so hard to find in Australia...well ones not stupidly modified and half wrecked.
Selling my ISF and will try to get one of these. Still the best looking Lexus ever made....
This car is a work of art. It's a perfect demonstration of what most of us dream our cars could be.
Thank you so much!
What an awesome looking build. There is nothing over the top on this car appearance-wise. Just clean and business-like. Every mod on this car has a real purpose and delivers the goods.
Thank you very much! I try to keep things relatively clean and simple.
I know this video is a little older but this is the cleanest fucking is300 I've ever seen and everything looks done with love and care, you can tell the owner loves this car
One of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seems fantastic styling
Definitely one of the cleanest is 300’s I’ve seen . Keep it up 👌🏽
Thank you!
Interior pans in
Me: "oh lord," 🤤
Engine bay pans in
Me: *choke on water*
brings a tear to my eye. not a single inch of defect anywhere
Haha, yeah right! There are plenty of defects, I promise.
I got chills basically the whole time. WOW!
This is exactly why I bought my IS300 lol. I have the cosmetics mostly down, just saving up for engine stuff now. Anytime someone argues with my build, I'll link this vid. No words, but it'll shut them up 😂
Thank you!
New favorite video on CZcams. Hands down.
Definition of PERFECT. Keep it up. She’s beautiful!
Beautiful beautiful IS300
100% the best IS i've seen. Congratulations!
Perfect paint, body mods, fitment, build. This is tasteful. The perfect Lexus.
It has plenty of flaws, but thank you! =)
this build is every is owner's dream
The most amazing IS300 i have seen personally out of 100's of builds ive seen, I cannot wait to get started on mine next year from the chassis upwards
This has to be one of my favourite is300 out there tbh
You have renewed my love for the is300 simply gorgeous
Glad to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put such an awesome video together.... it's constantly on my shed tv, looping!
Awesome video, the IS300 has class and presence... whilst being a LION!
Thanks again! I need to make another video like this soon.
Gotta give it the the owner for one and the camera person. Beautifully done.
Thanks! I'm actually both. ;)
I got an 02 is300 I followed you on the gram
iammr_riley
This is not a car, this is a masterpiece
Thank you!
159k miles and still going strong on my ‘05 is300. Nice video... 👍
Awesome! Thanks!
probably one of the cleanest more beautiful is300 2JZ builds I've ever seen! simple yet dope af!!!
This car is everything mine aspires to be. I didn't realize how clean it really is. Kudos to you man. Video came out great too. What's your tire set up?
Thanks man, I appreciate that! The tires are BFG Sport Comp 2 235/40/18 (front) 255/35/18 (rear).
@@twojay is it enough to handle the power? I'm trying to fit a 265 in my rear.
@@RacecarAndChill Once they are warm, they do surprisingly well. That being said, I do run boost by gear to help maintain traction (28+ PSI would be completely useless in the lower gears).
@@twojay good to know. How much boost in first and second? I'm planning on running 15 psi on toyo r888r. Hoping itll hook.
@@RacecarAndChill I'm currently running a 14-15 PSI wastegate spring set, so that's usually what I command for first and second (also keep in mind I have a V160 and 3.55 final drive). I think 15 PSI on the R888 should do okay!
Unique IS300 beast I've never seen before
I love the way 2JZGE-T's sound. I've owned 3 IS300's and I'm about to own another very soon.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
I just bought my second 5 speed, an '04 super clean with a clean title! I feel the same way about these awesome cars!
Still the best video ever.
Everything is well-cared for in this vehicle, respectful job!
Thank you!
You fixed the one thing i dislike about this car, the tailights. Magnificent.
Goals bro goals, I also like the fact that you built your ge motor, which is something I will do rather than gte swapping my IS. Pure inspiration, officially the cleanest and sexiest IS300 I’ve ever seen
The built GE seems to be holding up well! Thanks for the kind words!
Best colour for an Altezza.
Good to see someone not beating the heck out of an is300
SIMPLE..CLEAN AND I DARE SAY ELEGANT
Absolutely amazing! Awesome job with the build and filming
Clean and not stanced out! Awesome job on the build! I just picked up an 03 5 speed manual and looking around to see what guys have done. Sticking to the ge for now as it will be a dd but was curious if you can do a vid on your wheel suspension combo.
Very cool! Even a stock 5-speed can be a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!
It almost brings tears to my eyes
Wow, this is amazing. Awesome music choice, superb atmosphere! And one hell of an IS!
Thank you very much!
Kudos sir this is me favorite build I have ever seen!
What a car.
I just feel in love with my tezza again. Had a debate with myself just the yesterday regarding which is the best designed car between the 3 series BMW, C class Benz and the Altezza/IS. Reluctantly i gave the win to the BMW with the Tezza coming in last, now now I'm revaluating the whole thing
Those are all great cars but you know which one gets my vote! 😉 Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@twojay Hahaha yeah I'm with you on that one, Tezza love 💯, IS 300 in your case lol
I am amazed by how clean and stunning this car looks. Fantastic machine!
Dope. I wish my Is300 was remotely close to this setup.
By far the best looking 300 I've seen. Good job man
Man your lexus is very clean
Thank you!
This is gorgeous, loved every second of it! Keep it up
What camera/lens setup did you use?
Thank you! I used a Panasonic GH5 w/ Lumix 12-35m on a Ronin M for this video.
No ac and no radio. That is some dedication.
Inspiring. I have a looooong way to go with my 02.
Thank you! At least you have a great platform to start with!
@@twojay so I was told. Said I didn't want a Honda nor anything fwd. Had to be stick. Looked for 6 months and saved found her and have been wrenching since last December.. A Christmas gift to myself. I truly love this car and get asked to sell it weekly.
@@hughmungus7756 I bet! I'm sure you're aware that that manual transmission IS300s are pretty rare. Keep it forever!
@@twojay Oh I'm aware..why it took months to find. I remember where I was the first time I saw one.. Said one day. One day. That was in 01. Lol life happened..
I'm ways off myself with my 05 she's bone stock.
Beautiful IS300 , mad respect , a work of art,I have a stock automatic 04 love it, something about the body lines in the car that makes it unique plus the reliable 2jz ge
finally some proper fitment
I follow you on Instagram but just randomly got this video recommended. Didnt know you had a channel but just wanna say your car is truly wonderful!
Oh nice! Yeah I have been slacking on the CZcams stuff but hopefully I can get back on track someday. Thanks for the support!
@@twojay its cool man, I'd use youtube just for clean car video's like these if I were you. Maybe you could put these video's on your IG some time, I bet they would get pretty good views.
I aspire to have my is200 as clean as your is300.
As fast as im seeing this video, new suscriber.
Regards From Dominican Republic
This is such a lovely car 😍😍😩
Master Piece, I am currently working on a master piece of my own. I hope to give it's first exposure to the world with something like this.
Only for a Z.
This is one of the best videos I've seen period, let alone is300 builds
Thank you! Good luck with your build!
It's been just recently in the media and on CZcams especially, the new discovery of the underrated nature of the is300... love these cars, balanced, clean, and god status power delivery (based on your application and set up) very reliable and can be made very practical.
It was an absolute pleasure to watch this and I enjoyed how clean the engine bay was, I know it took time to get every surface that clean for the shoot and I can respect that for sure.
I'm sure the mechanics of the engine build are equally beautiful and thought out, the wrinkle black covers and beautifully exposed coil pack set up is beautiful, and the black extinguisher is the perfect safety accent.
Detail vacuum patterns on the door fabric, the whole build looks very well thought out!
@@7eamGhast Luckily I have another vehicle to drive on a daily basis so this one spends most of it's time in the garage where it stays nice and clean. 😉 It has been an ongoing evolution for the last 6 years so it definitely helps when you can take your time to do things right. It sounds like you have a great attention to detail, so I'm sure your build will not disappoint!
Goals for my is300 right there.
Mesmerizing. What a beautiful build ❤️
Thank you!
Absolute stunner, nice colour and no room for improvements I say. Good job on the videography. 👌🏾
Thanks for the kind words!
No problem mate. How much it cost you if you don’t mind me asking to the stage you got it at now?
This is just a work of art and beauty. I want mine to be a replica of this to the T. Such a beautiful job man. Any way i can get more of your complete build list? Lmao love the videos man.
Beautifully done, both in car and video. So refreshing, I wish people did car videos like this instead of the usual cringe. Definitely went for the same style as i did, but took it another step further with the engine. This represents what I wished mine had become, but unfortunately, daily driving in Baltimore with lots of salt and horrible roads and crashes did mine in. Looks like you take good care of it instead of "daily-ing" it. Definitely keep this one intact and keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kind words! This one spends most of it's life in the garage and I definitely plan to keep it that way.
@@twojay Yeah when I saw the row of garage bays and the car tucked nicely inside of a full empty one, I knew it was in good hands LOL. Plus, I don't imagine it ever sees a grain of salt there in Utah haha.
Simple amd clean ..just perfect
I have a turbo is300 and I love everything about yours. goals right here
One of the cleanest is300s I’ve ever seen😯
This is by far the best is300 I've seen. That dash is beautifully done. Where did you get it done?
Thanks! I actually did the dash myself. I removed it, stripped it, prepped it, and painted it with real automotive paint. It was quite a bit of work.
@@twojay okay. Right on. Thanks for the response.
A lot of time and money in the build. Much respect. Awesome stuff.
Oh my fucking- THE INTERIOR 🥴🥴
Beautiful is300 man, I love how clean and simple it looks. Aiming to get a blue is300 in the future, this just makes me want it more 😭
Thank you!
Gonna be getting an IS300, this is EXACTLY how I want to do mine, beautiful car man!
Thank you!
By far the best IS300 video on CZcams! Nice work on the car and video Jay! Beautiful machine no doubt.
Thank you!
Nice build! My friend is also building his is300 to be boosted! Putting a Precision turbo on it
Thank you! Sounds like a fun build!
@@twojay It will be when it is done!
You inspired me to buy another and build it. Flew out from AZ -> Denver to purchase a clean single owner low miles 01 is 300. Cant wait to catch up to you :).
Beauty lexus
Jeeeezuus. I need to scrap my project and get a clean IS for a stating base lmao. This thing is a dream. Congrats! 😁🤤🤤
Beautiful car & a manual transmission to. Well done sir...well done👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Are we not talking about this turbooooo???
I think this is what my blue is300 dreams of at night ;). Incredible job man.
Thank you!
That scenery at the start!!! Well put together that, i enjoyed it!
Thanks Robert! I am lucky to have some great scenery where I live.
Amazing car I have this as well
Best IS300 so far. Nice choice and well build. #respect #love
Wow extremely gorgeous car... awesome video
Thank you!
Nice! I'd consider getting rid of the US spec picnic table of a rear bumper
Fucking respect brother you absolutely out did yourself
Nice feature man; about as clean a build as I've ever seen.
Thank you!
Im doing a turbo build of my 2003 gs300 sport design, any tips on setting it up.
Very clean lexus perfection has been reached, my brother has a modified is300 but this is nice
absolute beauty
Beautiful clean build. I kept mine bone stock (sleeper) but might consider some wheels after checking out your video. Great job, and what's up with the 17 trolls giving thumbs down, that's pretty laughable.
Thank you!
A bone stock car is not a sleeper
@@AM-wi6zo Oh my bad, I just meant in appearance. czcams.com/video/0sTRSRC3o84/video.html
Wow impressive is300!
Perfect just perfect
Beautiful piece of machinery... too bad I live in Europe where the IS200 got released. IS300s are even rarer here, and don't get me started about the manual IS300s...
I’ve replayed this video at least 100 times, goals! Beautiful, follow you on insta as well
Awesome, thanks for the support!
two jay what song/instrumental is playing in the background? Perfect for this video
@@TigersFFA It's in the video description.
