Thunder Grizz so you had your friends dad do it or help you and teach you how to do it right?
Omg bro! My first sports car was a 1977 Toyota Celica! What a Burner! It was so effing sleek.. I’ll never forget the feel of that leather shifter knob as I ripped thru the gears on her. That as a killer car.!??!
Ah yes ... The IS300... The only car that can have +250k miles and still sell for +$5k... I miss mine
no.. not really. A Lexus LX470 with 250k can fetch 10k. also there are many other cars such as rarer sports cars and super cars that can fetch even more

When Alex said that the s2000 is disappearing from the vocabulary of car enthusiasts, I sat in my s2000 and cried 😭
I just bought a wrecked s2000. I'm $1200 into fixing it myself. Another $500 in repair, $200 for a rebuilt title, and I've got a $15,000 s2000 that will look close to mint. Super excited!

Alex M. There overpriced imho, the GS offers way better bang for the bucks and just as strong as IS aftermarket wise
The IS300 is definitely worth scooping up. There are good deals out there, plenty of aftermarket parts, and the car looks amazing, especially with modifications. I’m on my second IS300, and it’s so much fun to own and take to car meets.

Almost every part from a GTE can be put into the GE, gte head gasket, arp head studs, throw in some gte pistons and rods which are cheap. you can hold at least 600-800 hp on that. Even the front facing throttle body can be swapped over. Or just do a gte swap, everything is plug and play.
This car should only be own by Toyota Enthusiasts who can maintain them with OEM Toyota parts. This car is getting rarer by the day and I'd hate to see someone that isn't in love with it or isn't an enthusiast neglect them and ends up destroying the engine/car.

Yes 💯

I've had my manual IS300 for 5 years now and just took it through a 10,000km roadtrip to the PCH and it's been nothing but blessed. Only mods are some rims, coil-overs and exhaust.
Hi. Have you driven 3 series from the same year? Which one is beter?
Was yours manual when you got it or did you swap?
Wheels*
I love my IS with all my heart 🥰
dame yo. mines an is200 though so i seriously wish it was faster. and an automatic. but due to long commutes in traffic and a bad clutch knee im kinda stuck with an auto at this point. but its so nice in every other way. drifts nice in the wet even if its near impossible in the dry with lsd, only 160hp and big 17"rims with good grippy tyres etc.
My dream first car dawg
Isaiah Montoya it is and was my first car:))
How do I convince my parents to go 50/50 on one with me? What are some things about the car a parent will like to hear?
DYLAN BUSSE insurance is great, it’s a sedan, hardly has any problems, all around a great first car
“So you want an LS400?” I mean, we can agree about power steering leaks, blown head gaskets, vvti in the later models. The nice V8 smoothness and good overall reliability. Plus stanced with the right wheels and suspension looks great either as a vip style or a modern sport sedan. Depends on what you’re looking for.
U could not have made this at a better time
Lmaoooo, thought the same thing, because I'm getting one next year
Lewis DerKleine don’t settle on an auto I swapped mine I wish I waited
I agree! Had my eye on these for a couple of years. So freaking happy to scooped one. Lsd auto. AR5 swap after coils and wheels. These cars are beautiful!!
@@lewis3125 Next year?! Why wait so long? Do you know would could happen between now and next year?!
I’m currently on my second IS300 manual. I love these cars so much. They have a timeless style and always look good.
Completely agree, even more than 20 years later they still look cool and classy with a touch of nasty!
Zchep3 what do you recommend for suspension?
Chris Storm depends on what you’re after. I use mine for a daily car and currently have Tein Flex Z on it and they ride wonderfully. If I were after more of a performance setup I’d likely go with BCs or Fortune Auto. A little more pricey but you get the customization of spring rates and such.
Zac Hardiman aye bro do the automatic and manual transmission have 2jz? Or is it just the manual.. I’m trying to look for one but don’t know much about em
Nicolas Moreno all IS300s have 2JZ engines. If you’re after a manual, good luck. They’re hard to find and some people want a premium for them.
Had an is300 in high school 03’ red and it was manual loved that car it was fun, comfortable and reliable loved the styling as well

I bought my wife a beautiful black stock '2004 IS300 SPORT CROSS" and she loves it. I'm a former race driver and my car is a Maserati V8, but to be honest, sometimes the Sport Cross is more fun on the street. We get quite a few guys coming up to us and asking if we would sell it. We paid a premium price, but its reliability has been great. If you find one, grab it!
Yo Alex! Thank you so much for including this beauty! I love my IS 300 and have been wanting to modify it. But honestly, never knew what to do with it. This helped me a lot! As much as i love my car, i know its more of a commuter, but thats cool with me.
Cost effective way to make the is300 stronger is to swap the whole bottom end with a 2jz ge non-vvti bottom end with gte head gasket and arp head studs. Rabid rb channel did this and would be a great option for more power for diy people.
That's what my cars setup is!
@@RacecarAndChill I think they put a clip of one of your videos in this "so you want" episode as well. But ya I am using your videos and rabid rb to put the engine together and upgrade one of my a650s to potentially handle a little more power.

Had my 01 Is300 for 9months bought it for 5k with 128k miles with very light rust underneath. Sitting on Megan coils & some nice 18in wheels so I didn’t have to do anything there. I went straight to maintenance replaced Valve cover gasket, Spark plugs, ignition coils & wires, new battery, o2sensors, and thermostat. I use it daily and been running like a champ no complaints
POV: You're watching in 2021 and they just blew up in the car scene so they're super expensive now.

@@isundgrensakeri a gs3 is no where near an aristo lmao, and i own one
@@z33avery30 Let's see, they share the same platform, they share the same body, the major difference is the non turbo engine and the left hand steering that the GS version recieved as the JZS160 while the JZS161 got the GTE engine and right hand drive and most likely a more beefy drivetrain overall.
YES, PLEASE! Wrote a comment asking for the gs 300 as the Aristo isn't as common, but pleeeeaaase make an episode on that fitment industries
I had 2 of them at one point, I tried to be an adult and grow up. I had the JZS161 but within 3 months got bored lol
YOOO! I’m super stoked that you guys actually made this video! Hopefully more people start to show the IS300 some love. It’s really becoming a bit of a hidden gem in the car community.
Im on my second is300. I got a sportcross after my sedan got rear ended. I absolutely love these cars
I already got mine for a steal. Being having it a year and it is by far the most fun car I’ve ever had. May the prices go up !
Love my IS. Bought one 3 years ago as my first car and about a month ago, I bought my second IS which is a 5 speed. Got a deal on it because it needed a new clutch (witch I did myself) Can't say I've heard them having problems with oil consumption though, and as long as you replace the timing belt at the 100k mile service interval you're fine. Also, the cup holders suck and riding in the back seat ins't a fun experience. Another gripe is that there aren't a ton of parts available new for these cars as apposed to the E46 but these also break a lot less being Toyota. All in all though, I love these cars and can't see myself not owning one.
I think the back seat are fine but gosh yes the cupholders suck soooooo much on these these things and the windshield is so small too.

This makes me Happy ❤ I love my IS300!
Love this car. Im looking to get one and having a goal to either modify it to almost match the supra mkIV or completely swap. Also for people who want a manual you have a better chance to swap it coz a manual will cost alot of money.
Glad I came across your video I’m looking to get a Lexus IS
Just picked up a pearl white is300. The parents where definitely happy with it. Even with the loud cd009 6 speed swap.
One of my favorite things about IS300 drivers is that they always debadge the lexus emblems and put on Altezza badging. Altezza is such a better name
I much prefer the altezza logo in my opinion as well
All the jdm names for the lexus lineup sounds way nicer than the north American names
i prefer the lexus logo! altezza looks more sleek yeah but im driving a lexus not an altezza 😡
Nice to see the IS300 getting some love from you guys, surprised our Boosted_Lexi didn't make it in the clips though! Either way, thanks for shining a light on a few of the builds out there keep it up!

I’ll much rather have a “ forgotten car “ then any of these new ones . That just means they are rare
Got mine last year and it’s so good! It’s a 2002 so it needs some work here & there but I love it
I just dropped 1.5k to upgrade/tune my awful engine leak on my 02', I've only had it for about a year and a half now, they did not take the best care of it. I got it for 2k down from 3 with some nice haggling, dude said the a.c. worked, NOPE. That alone is a k to fix.

Coming from an is300 owner he’s not lying its a fun little car even stock
For SURE, though it's not rated with a ton of power they are super comfortable and sporty even "tossable" in stock form... as long as its been maintained. Many you'll find at this point are beaten up and worn out unfortunately

Currently own a silver Tezza, 6spd, beams 3sge, chargespeed body kit, set of winter tires, set of all seasons. Keeps me happy till summer rolls around and i can use my other car.
I don’t know the hate on the automatics, sure you aren’t rowing your gears (though it has a manual shift mode) but that tranny has nice short sporty gearing and it’s very easy easy to get the tail sliding with traction control disabled. So yeah it isn’t a manual but it isn’t a bad transmission either.
Good video also one thing to mention is the 2jz in the is300 are also in the gs300 and sc300, so there's 3 to pick from

Since I'm based in the UK I can only realistically get an IS200. Not like that's a problem, I got to drive one yesterday at a car meet with a Japspeed exhaust system and it was glorious.

My ‘02 manual has 170K miles, 2nd owner after my uncle. just changed the timing belt and trying to do some mods. I’m keeping it till it explodes lol
I have always wanted to drive the IS300.. Classic look and aggressive. Love it
I need to see more content on those, as an owner hoping to turbo in the future - this care needs more love!!!
im back Alex, Wheres the " So You Want a Bmw 335i " vid at, i know you want to do it.
Expensive to own
I picked one up one of the best cars I've had
I love mine. 2004 is300 silver automatic 140k miles on it. Rides smoother than when I first got it at 50k. We going to ride this baby to 400k. Will try and get one manual in future.
i have used the Toyota Altezza since 2013. it snapped its timing belt early this year, no regrets tho, am definitely getting another one..! Love it to bits..!
you're a dumbass for destroying a 2JZ
