I found you on instagram I love the ISF, I’m for sure going to be following the build this car is truly a gem can’t wait to get one keep up the great videos
Just bought my 13 is f black w 60k miles a couple weeks ago literally still learning its little kinks and features but man I love this shit so much was my dream car for a reason such a fun sleeper ima go full carbon fiber front and rear end and full bolt one and work meister just ordered some bc racing coilovers and swift springs
I saw this thing when it was for sale. Good to see it when to a good home. The color is perfect and wanted to paint mine a similar color down the road. Don’t ever sell this beauty.
Thanks heaps for all the detailed info on the transmission. I was watching a used car review recently where the tester said the shifting was slow which had me worried (I'm tempted/day-dreaming about getting an ISF).
God, you spent $1.50/gal more than I do for premium lol. Glad gas prices have gone down where I live. Thanks for making the video, I was wondering what you’ve had done to yours.
LOL @ "Find something else to be mad about." People spend too much time listening to dudes like Sam Car Legion, who says the car is slow. The 2UR is freaking bada$$ and has tons of power...period. Thanks for posting!
You’re right, I misspoke. Something about the original F is just magic 🪄…. I will say though cars have been getting heavier and heavier but performance has been increasing as well. The cars I hope to purchase in the future are all over 4,000lbs😅 so they’ll need the power they can make.
@@isfdubs yeah it’s getting crazy. The new M2 is almost 4k pounds and that’s their smallest performance car lol. Nice ISF by the way. I’ve never had a chance to drive one but I’m sure it’s sweet
Those test 1/4 mile time by C&D does not tell the whole story since RCFs bone stock have done 12.4 - 12.5 seconds and there is a video on it on the E.Kanoo channel. With 472 HP vs 416 HP, Power to weight ratio is still heavily in favor of the RCF of 8.4 lbs/HP vs 9.2 lbs/HP. RCF's chassis rigidity due to a lot more reinforcements added a lot of weight and it is a roughly 200 lbs difference. Stock vs stock, RCF is faster by 5 - 6 car lengths if the race was up to 130+ mph RCF's 0 - 150 mph is 23.2 seconds according to C&D and the ISF 0 - 150 mph was 25.2 seconds. My personal Dragy 60 - 130 mph is in the 10 seconds range with only a couple of bolt ons. Anyway, where the real difference is, around the track where RCF with all things being equal (same driver, same conditions etc.), would put down 2 - 3 seconds faster such as, Tsukuba circuit with Best Motoring.
RCF weighs 500 lbs? I saw your other comment and you realized it was an error so all good. It is less than 200 lbs (3780 lbs vs 3902 lbs officially) so the power to weight ratio due to the 12% more power is heavily in favor of the RCF. 8.4 lbs/HP vs 9.2 lbs/HP. Good video nonetheless. Cheers!
@@RDawgs The length and width is within an inch of each other. RCF looks wider especially in the rear because of the smaller cabin/long hood with wide fender flares/wheels/tires and low roofline. It gives an exaggerated look of width. RCF measures 185 inches and ISF is 184 inches. RCF is 72.6 inches wide and ISF is 71.5 inches. Height wise RCF is almost 2 inches lower than the ISF at 54 inches vs 56 inches. I own an IS350 F-Sport as well. In tight spots, I don't particularly see any significant difference in terms of ease of maneuvering. RCF steering in SPORT+ is a lot stiffer and heavier, though.
Love the car man, I’ll be getting my F soon, I actually live in metro Atlanta, I thinker you said you moved tho, is there a group for isf’s in Georgia? Thanks
Yes I did just recently relocate from Atlanta, shoot me a message on Instagram and I can connect you with some folks down there in the ISF community. 💪🏾
It all comes down to price which you can afford, but there’s no speed difference in between the three models really if anything the ISF is the most capable because it’s the smallest
i've owned IS350 and IS-F before how come ur gauge cluster looks from an IS250/350-F spot , the isf gauge cluster goes up to 180, but nice setup tho i dig the color
What's your exhaust set up? Is it deleted mufflers, primary, and secondary cats? I saw on the inserted clip it looks like you still have the stock resonator installed? Or maybe that was a before clip and the resonator is also deleted?
Correct that video was from the day I was at the exhaust shop…it’s a straight pipe back from the primary cats. (Secondary cats/resonator/mufflers all gone) and the real exhaust tips do make a difference as well in tone. Hope that helps!
No cap i wanted the Lexus I got the genesis 5.0 rspec tuned on e85 im putting 3.91 gear diff eventually headers 5.0 are just different E85 on 2.4 where I live
why does that car have the is250 cluster? was it in an accident or smth like that? why is it hitting the limiter at 4500rpm? i have so many questions lol, nice wrap btw :))
@@isfdubs I have an isf I know how the oem steering wheels looks and they don’t look like that! I wish they did lol. Maybe you bought the car with the wheel already installed by someone else🤷🏼♂️
@@ruslanvarenik6558 it’s the same steering that’s been in my car every video. If you look at the steering wheel you’re talking about you’ll notice it’s not my purple ISF but an entirely different ISF. No one changed my steering wheel.
If you have an ISF 1st gear is best for a 40 rolls but you can’t shift to 1st unless you’re going like 20mph, 2nd is okay but it’ll take a second run up RPMs
It’s paint, it’s okay to be different and not have one of the same 5 colors Lexus has been using for 20 years. If anyone sees this one they know it’s mine 💜
I’ve explained in several videos (including this one) why the 250 cluster was in the car. The cars just from Canada. What you described would’ve costed 10x as much as the real reason. Thanks for watching, buddy.
Literally was until the last video I posted documenting me modifying it. All these videos were recorded in 2023. I wasn’t FBO tuned until 2 weeks ago May 2024. If you’re interested check out the video. I wouldn’t make a car channel and not documenting the modifications that would be counter productive. thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Rcf isn't even close to 600lbs heavier 😭 its like 200lbs heavier at most, also the rcf has more power like 60hp and 20tq at better rpms as well i believe. Fbo rcf vs fbo isf, rcf will win. Fbo isf vs stock or just exhaust rcf, isf is gapping.
I was exaggerating a bit but still have to make fun of the RCFs lol …I’ve seen FBO races between the two go both ways depending on the tune/driver I will say maxed out the RCF being able to run full E85 would make a difference in the long run if every variable lined up correctly. I’d love to own all 3 Fs one day😁
I found you on instagram I love the ISF, I’m for sure going to be following the build this car is truly a gem can’t wait to get one keep up the great videos

Same here bro bought my ISF in November as a 26th bday present to myself and i love it so much
Dam i want an is f bro glad you having fun with it a gem indeed hope you keep making videos man keep updating bring back a mopar in the future
I saw this thing when it was for sale. Good to see it when to a good home. The color is perfect and wanted to paint mine a similar color down the road. Don’t ever sell this beauty.
Thank you for the comment! The color code is “Purple Haze” incase you were wondering 😁
Very nice whip it’s on my bucket list keep up the good work and motivation
Thank you for the positivity and watching the video!
One of my dream cars as a Toyota and lexus enthusiast I can’t remember back to 2008 when this car debuted I could not believe it
Thanks heaps for all the detailed info on the transmission. I was watching a used car review recently where the tester said the shifting was slow which had me worried (I'm tempted/day-dreaming about getting an ISF).

That purple is hittin 😍😍
This car is so restricted from factory. Its definitely a sleeper in a way if you dont know what you looking for.
i miss my 2000 GS300. Lexus JDM for LIFE. :')
That’s a dope color!!
LOL @ "Find something else to be mad about." People spend too much time listening to dudes like Sam Car Legion, who says the car is slow. The 2UR is freaking bada$$ and has tons of power...period. Thanks for posting!
In 3 years of ownership...I have only seen one Orange GSF around where I live. I haven't seen a single other ISF other than at meets in Chicago.
Im usually the only one at a meet unless I come with my ISF buddies, they’re unicorns for sure
Love the car looks
The dash is throwing me off so much. Because it's a 250/350 dash
right?!
@BullsAndBearsDiaries he did explain it in one of his video and description
Is isf dash suede? They melt….
@Ieattoomuch no they not suede. But he has a 250/ 350 dash. But he explained it in another video
the gauge clusters were just changed
ISF curb weight is 3780. RCF curb weight is 3902. ISF is still a pretty heavy car. Stock both cars can do the quarter mile in like 12.7

Love the vids
Was gonna save for a 350 but might as well save the extra 7,000 try get a isf im in love with these now
I just traded my 2012 IS 250 for a 2023 G70. It’s a lot faster than what a thought.
3.3t?
G70s got more than a 100 hp more, I’d hope it would be faster.
What does that have to do with an ISF. And an IS250 is slow af. Anything new would feel much faster.
Why u got a is350 250 gauge cluster? I know dem rings that light up is nice
beautiful car man
god i wish i had friends that drive lexus like you and your friends, like i only drive an is250 but i would love to have my lexus like urs
You should check around your area for Facebook/Instagram groups I’m sure you can find a group to cruise and hangout with

I want a v8 but don't kno if I want big body GS F or IS F...I want lexus to be my first v8
It all comes down to price which you can afford, but there’s no speed difference in between the three models really if anything the ISF is the most capable because it’s the smallest
Lexus is the reliable version of the 5.0.
Honestly would love to see someone interior swap a ISF with a Lexus 350/500 interior 2015+
My buddy did it. Look up @ Kilos4Sale on Instagram. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful is. I just got my 2is350. Exhause mod sure.. straight pipe just is goofy to me though lol
That purples nice
I'm under 48k on a 2008 ISF. Looking to upgrade the wheels, suspension, and exhaust.

I actually talked about this in the video, it was from Canada so that was the cheapest cluster to put in at DOT. I have an ISF cluster now.
Ohhh ok I missed that I was too into lookin at the mod and admiring the color
2UR-GSE ftw I've got the IS500
RCF weighs almost 200 lbs more than a isf
Gsf weighs around 300 to 400 more than a isf

why does that car have the is250 cluster? was it in an accident or smth like that? why is it hitting the limiter at 4500rpm? i have so many questions lol, nice wrap btw :))
I answered all 3 of these questions in the video you’re commenting on
Nice
I’ve been looking to get a ISF for years.
You will get one
@@isfdubs can’t seem to find one with lower miles
@@isfdubs how much did you pay?
@@Zach3.0tt Instagram link in bio
Does the ISF stand for IS F Sport.
Your rear wheels are on the wrong way - need to swap left and right so that the "blades" face forwards.
I don't kno how to downshift to make car scream like that 😅
I own a 2006 is250 and I yearn one of these Isf so badly lol
You will get one
@@isfdubs working towards it hopefully 🙏🏿
What % tint you got?
SWEET F...............................................2018 GS F
It wont be in the shop as much with a couple of mods like the other competitors
Cold air intake?
I was doing research n i saw that motec has a ecu so if u do decide forced induction i saw one makes 800hp stock internals
U gotta shift this thing within in a specific power band?? What have u learned shifting wise?
where did you get that steering wheel? ive been looking for one
It’s the steering wheel that comes with the car
@@isfdubs I have an isf I know how the oem steering wheels looks and they don’t look like that! I wish they did lol. Maybe you bought the car with the wheel already installed by someone else🤷🏼♂️

how much u buy it for

and i try to shift at 7k rpm from ur video i should know how to shift how i do tt bro
If you have an ISF 1st gear is best for a 40 rolls but you can’t shift to 1st unless you’re going like 20mph, 2nd is okay but it’ll take a second run up RPMs
And why do you have an IS350 cluster?
Answered this in the video your commenting on
how much did you pay for this if you don't mind me asking
What colour is this?
he said what color code it was in the video
i feel like the trans isint very responsive on mine, any ideas?
You’re using paddles ?
@@sebastianhasbun3846 thats the only way it will downshift simi fast
Just a reminder. This gets beat by a Kia Stinger GT.
Is the paint ruined underneath the wrap? If not, the oem paint would look a lot cooler imo
It’s paint, it’s okay to be different and not have one of the same 5 colors Lexus has been using for 20 years. If anyone sees this one they know it’s mine 💜
Ignore my untagged comment to the 250 owner.
Buddy thats not IS F, thats 250 with ISF ENGINE and side skrits front and rear bumper. U have been scammed

How many miles playboy?
2 minutes into the video you just commented on you can find your answer
does your isf still have all its cats ?
He explained the whole exhaust setup in the video if you watch/listen
He also said it was stock, but when he was explaining the exhaust, but it was still unclear if the primary cats were still there or not.

Rcf is onyl about 150kbs heavier and mod for mod or stock for stock, the RCF is faster. GSF is about 400lbs heavier.
The ISF, being the first F model kind of makes it more legendary the RCF is a huge vehicle for a two door
@Toyota4Life I live my ISF but that doesn't mean it's faster than an RCF when they have the same mods.
