In today's episode we are getting behind the wheel of our friend, Austin's IS300. It's one of the pinnacle cars of the early 2000's and has held a following . With more carbon you can possibly imagine we can surely say it's unique but how does it drive?

@stephenmoore1541 3 года назад

It LOOKS good, but it's a stock VVTI 2jz ge. It's not even a real 2jz, they're so weak(they'll blow up at like 400hp). If he wants to get a real 2jz on a budget, he can snag a non VVTI ge from say a Lexus sc300 that'll be just as strong as a gte, you just gotta put in a different head gasket and ARP head studs. Slap a turbo on it and boom. Get that dang clutch fixed too and it'll be muah (italian Chef kisses) so good.

@fulltimegamer9194 3 года назад

All bark and no bite. Fix the clutch and slap a turbski on it. Maybe delete some optic mods.

@nickh3064 3 года назад

I love it! I love my is300 it's stock and i still love it. I would love to turbo mine but as it sits its a great daily it's not about speed it's about whipping it around the turns and sliding it around.

Just do it, there is no question about it - they're super reliable when it comes to the power they put out. Only real thing to look out for is the valley plate leak, OEM brakes are dusty and noisy, and bushings like to go out. Also, OEM suspension is garbo, so plan to get aftermarket if you want a DD.

Strapped in 225 horsepower! 🤣 No joke they're a bit slow stock but you gotta consider the beauty! Not to mention the reliability! I've owned 2 of them (my 2nd and 3rd car). I was 18 at the time the first one I crashed "drifting" second one dui driver hit while parked! Live and learn! Own a 03 manual mustang GT now thankfully for the lives of everyone I gave up drifting after wrapping my 1st IS around a pole so crowds out there don't worry hahaha Really makes me miss my is300 though!

@Seffyr 3 года назад

Here in NZ we have the Altezza scene and it's pretty big and I absolutely agree with you Alex -- the body lines of the XE10 platform hide can beautify some REALLY questionable mods. Even the cheap skid hacks with tacked on fibreglass bodykits that are broken in twenty places and springs that slam the car on it's guts still look good because the base chassis is so aesthetically pleasing.

Bought a bone stock factory manual is300 with 175k miles on it, it's been nothing but great 🙌, after coming from a 335i 6 speed manual, I thought I wouldn't enjoy anything the way I enjoyed my beamer, I was wrong. Super fun car. Cant wait to turn mine to something like this !

I still roll my 02 IS300. I just got my other car back from 8 months in the shop. So I got used to the 02 manual IS and now after watching this video I have an even greater appreciation for that car. But when you get older like me, having an new SUV is cool too. I go from high seating cushion riding on rails Mazda CX-5 back down to a 1 inch dropped IS (Eibach springs and roll bars) IS that feels totally different. My car is nowhere as cool looking as this guys. Even if I put the full L-Tuned bodykit back on. Im missing the front bumper because I went back to stock, and the rear valence. Both are in my garage. But anyways, great video. Wish I wouldve saw it back 2 years ago. But it gets a like and comment today. As well as a sub.
