Climate control and hazard lights don’t work so far as I noticed but there is no instructions anywhere that shows wire hook up so I was guessing the whole time
good clickbate photoshoped intoduction image.... its showing the magnetic phone mount that I'm looking for. For many years using the modifry metal brack plus mount. On other cars I have a magnet which I love way more then the cheap plastic mount from the modifry kit. Looking for a mounth like the Scosche MagicMount Pro2. Here in europe they close to $50-60 which is a bit too much....
I have my lexus on coilovers and I'm starting to have inner tire wear. I'm getting a camber kit on the fronts and rear. Will you guys also recommend a set of new bushings on the front and rears?
Also I think epoxy you want should be base on the material of your bumper. And a good preparation of the surface is key: degrease, lite scuff, clean with alcohol, then glue.
Damn you tube algorithm doing gods workZ bought used 08 is250 for my son and bumper have no strength at all. Current using the rubber band bumper pins. This could be the next option!
Hello guys !! Please when driving my IS i usually smells carbon from inside of the car and on stops I notice smoke coming out of my exhaust pipes, please what can I do to stop this . NOTE ; my catalytic converters have been removed 😢
I literally just got mine in the mail, looked at it, and went, "What?". I'm glad you also need a logical explanation for how things are supposed to work. Great video, very helpful.
Awesome seeing a video on this for our cars! I’ve got an isf so the fender portions aren’t available but I bought the kit for the front bumper tabs. I hope it works outs for me!
This is such a great way to keep the bumper clean without drilling and adding bumper clips. However, this is wayyy too time consuming. I’m a one and done guy, so I prefer to get it done with a bumper clips. It’s subtle yet adds on a clean look
Very good work. My 2008 Lexus was shifting kind of rough a couple years ago, and I did the exact same thing of drain and fill. Much smoother now. Now when it comes to the intervals of changing? I was recommended every 50,000 miles so I will stick to that number.
Do you have any recommendations for a shop in the bay area to do this? I’ve been wanting to do this to my 09 250 but am afraid of messing something up and don’t have the space/tools to do so.
@@ChristianMastrile the is350 feel a lot lighter and seem quicker response torque lower end. The gtr feel a lot heavier lower end but once mid to high it's gone.
@@ChristianMastrile raced my little cousin 280z with 2jz swap big turbo last week on the freeway 3x, I barely took him on the first 2 run and on the 3rd he barely got me by a fender on the gtr
@@ChristianMastrile oh ok I'm see if my smog tech buddy will willing to let me slide cause I live in northern California and we only doing plug in ECU smog not the Dyno type like southern California
See, they say dont mess with the transmission fluid on sealed transmissions because there is always a possibility it will start slipping, but I guess it's a gamble. I did that on my old IS250 because I wanted to sell it when I got a GS. I changed it twice (car was lowered and ran over something that damaged the pan and caused a leak, so had to replace again). Both times, the car ran great afterwards. IF you plan on doing this, I would get it only if you need to, because of the risks. But I trust Lexus/Toyota reliability so I took that risk, and both times car ran great.
The sealed trans was def something I didn't want to touch cos of the potential risks involved. Drain and fill looked simple enough to do myself so I took the risk and was willing to accept the consequences, if any, afterwards
If you haven't changed your fluid in a long time, I would have took it to a trans shop for a full flush and filter change. There are all least a few quarts of fluid in the torque converter alone, not including all the trans lines and valve body, that doesn't come out when draining by the plug. According to what I read in the past, the is250 trans holds a little over 7 quarts of fluid. You only removed and replaced 2 quarts.
Full flush will kill your transmission and it’s a lot to explain but every 2is owner knows about this and it’s in the lexus forum explaining why. This is why we recommend drain and fill and of course you don’t have to do it once you can do it as much as you want to get much cleaner fluids.
I've read about a full flush too and it wasn't recommended by a lot of the forums and FB posts. Like what @RonDaG0at said, a drain and fill was recommended and I was willing to do the D&F first then see how it turns out afterwards. So far so good, I'll post an update video after I've put some miles on the car
Also that 1-2 gear hesitation could be the solenoids. i saw a post on facebook about that. Mine does this weird thing where if im in 1st gear going 5 mph the rpms will shoot up and then it'll shift to 2nd gear. it happens when im turning or when im cruising through a parking lot looking for a space. I usually just speed through turns or come to a full stop when i feel it about to happen
Those solenoids were what I feared what was happening to mine. It hasn't done it since replacing the fluid (knock on wood). I'll record an update video when I've put a good amount of miles on it
@@codenamemist2560 Mine has 135k but it’s been doing it since I got it at 117k. I’m gonna change mine this sometime next week so I’ll let you know if it stops
@@PatrickT-k9c The solenoids use your speed and gear position to decide when to shift so when your car is hovering around late 1st gear it’s kinda confusing idk? But yea fixing your solenoids or swapping some new fluid in might fix it. I’ll try and let you guys know
@@ABCWISE Depending on the mileage and the car's history (how many owners), some mechanics and even the dealership will tell you to NOT mess with the trans oil if it wasn't changed properly from the beginning. I'm at 109k, I'm the second owner and I bought from a used car place, but my closest Lexus dealership sold the car to the orig owner and has the records.....up until the warranty. My car was purchased from an auction by the used car dealership that I bought from. As a reminder to all, you can put your VIN number in at the Lexus website and it will tell you what has been done if it was a Lexus authorized mechanic. I'm guessing since you guys are adding mods, then you don't really care. 😎
@@ABCWISEyou should be fine as long you’re only doing drain and full not full flush! I recommend doing it asap or your transmission will go out and a new transmission is around $2000
i did multiple drain and fill on my 2007 GS with 140K miles. and then did the filter and complete flush. the car shifts better than my 2016 GS lol. its like butter now. dont take the risk on the filter change, but definitely do the drain and fill at least 3 times every 1k miles or so. you will not regret.
im thinking about getting the current gen is350 in a couple of years. I heard they are "slow" with limited performace modifications options to give them a boost in horsepower so my question is if you had that car, what would you do it in terms of performance upgrades?
If there was a solid, reliable tune out there , that and an intake would be the only performance upgrades I'd go for. Aesthetically, they're beautiful so simple mods would be the route i'd go with
Hey mate, you ever thought about installing a vibrant resonator instead of the straight pipe. I remember in your early videos you said your exhaust was a bit too loud, the vibrant would decrease the volume while increasing the growl of the v6.
Hey man still loving the content. Finally got a is350!! Center console is broke. Think you could do a video on how to remove it? Even a yt short. Would be a great help can't find anything!
