Hope you've all enjoyed the series! The car is now available for bids on eBay: bit.ly/is200auction As many of you have noticed, you have to be pre-approved before you're allowed to bid. This is a precaution we have to take to make sure that no one is scamming the charity. We are going through the process of pre-approving bidders now - thanks for your patience guys, and good luck to all bidders!

Following this with great interest. I too have an is200 sport which I also paid £900 for!

Adrian Miles does it have a stripped interior?

@adriles 7 лет назад

No, heated leather is staying right where it is :-)

@Bratsoni 7 лет назад

Adrian Miles well i can't find one for less than 3.5k ffs

@adriles 7 лет назад

Bratsoni I have had it a couple years now. Last week I put 18s on it and decent rubber. Longest I've owned a car so if you make an offer I may sell. Happy to email you details and pictures.

but then how would they make $$$$

@carzacc6394 7 лет назад

ᅚ They would get less views per video

@thomasmancuso8805 7 лет назад

It doesn't have to be like a episode a day, just not so spaced out

@carzacc6394 7 лет назад

***** Just see the CGP Grey Channel, he does a video every few months and his videos get tons of views very fast when compared to other channels his size. Less videos=>higher value in the viewers' mind=>more excitement about a new episode=>more views At the same time Less videos=>less stuff to watch=>more time to watch the same number of videos=>more views from people who don't have enough time

@MikeQuain 7 лет назад

I really like where this is headed! It's nice, simple, and somewhat scientific! Plus you don't make terribly long boring videos we have to sit through to get to the good part.

@ashishpatel350 7 лет назад

Apparently new wheels and tires screw with second gear. (--___--)

@alexkersten1964 7 лет назад

Or just bad driving ;)

@ashishpatel350 7 лет назад

Alex Kersten lol. Stuff happens. Come to America. We has the is300 which came with an lsd. And these engines are bullet proof for the the most part.

@buba4267 7 лет назад

@dapottis 7 лет назад

Ashish Patel What did you expect from a 2JZ-GE 4 door? The IS300 are the 4 door Supras they are amazing

@B10401 7 лет назад

And I thought the gearbox was great.

@maxsnatch1420 7 лет назад

The steering wheel is not straight during the straight line. Chassis geometry will improve overall performance.

@xwy19890321 7 лет назад

Looking good. I'm tired watching new car reviews, and I love to see this type of videos. Watching a old good car turning in to a track machine is so much joyful.

@longtailgt 7 лет назад

Not only entertaining but also inspirational! Now I know what I need to do when I get a car. New wheels and tyres first thing going on!

@OMNIRADIUS 7 лет назад

Ahhh finally! I was waiting for this! Thank you sir, thank you very much!

@kriss7327 7 лет назад

I agree that light wheels and semi-slicks help, but one thing: old tyres in this test were for winter season. It increased the difference in lap time in compare to even regular summer tyres :)

@PinkGuy120 7 лет назад

Six cylinder sound track is the best

@alexkersten1964 7 лет назад

Wait until you hear it in episode 3!

@hugoscho 7 лет назад

@damienmcaleer8283 7 лет назад

Very much glossed over the fact the original tyres were winter tyres! Surprising that going from worn winter tyres to lightweight rims and semi slick tyres makes so little difference, lap time wise.

@Michael12751 7 лет назад

Where do I sign the petition if there is one?

@imi89imi 7 лет назад

hmm maybe we should write to the BBC.......I think Alex reminds me of a younger Jeremy Clarkson not in looks....but in humor and presenting skill....unlike the current trio its to scripted....I love Mr LeBlanc but you can tell he ain't a natural presenter especially when they have a guest on.

@zachcounter5248 7 лет назад

love this channel and this series keep it up

@withstyle7816 7 лет назад

I wonder if new engine oil 0w40 for example, new gearbox and differencial oil will bring some improvement. Maybe some friction reducing additives for engine like the liquy Molly ceratec and for gearbox and differencial liquy molly gear protect.... Also maybe a fuel additive to clean the fuel system... Also better fuel 100 octane? All that together maybe half a second?

@olliewebbuk 7 лет назад

Higher octane fuel won't help as I doubt the factory ECU is tuned to make use of it.

@ImTheJoker4u 7 лет назад

The only reason to use higher octane is because your engine has higher compression ratios requiring higher octane to reduce detonation. If you use higher octane in a vehicle that doesnt require all you accomplish is to drain your bank account, and ruining your cat converter.

@withstyle7816 7 лет назад

Okay then maybe the other stuff would do some improvment... Definitely interested if that combination works because i will do the same treatment to my car that is also extending the longevity of the gearbox and differencial

@youpi403 7 лет назад

all the thing you said won't chage a thing

@youpi403 7 лет назад

but it can't hurt to have some good oil and fluid overall!

@thegridfan 7 лет назад

Remove back seats and passenger spare tire anything that is dead weight and do some maintanence to the engiene and job done

@stewartmurray4658 7 лет назад

Why don't you weigh the old wheels, and then work out the difference, that might have been interesting.

@andrewbakkas2211 7 лет назад

It would've been 1.5 seconds faster if you didn't have the sweatshirt on the 2nd time.

@photilal1960 7 лет назад

LA of LA main difference is engine size

@rodrigobastos5804 7 лет назад

Is on the engine

@louisc8020 7 лет назад

@Vspeeds 7 лет назад

@NMNPThirteen 7 лет назад

LA of LA both are i6 but is300 comes with 2jz whereas is200 not but I can't tell you exactly what sits under the hood of is200 sorry :/

Correct me if am wrong but didn't the IS 200 come with a 2jz engine stock?

@cvan4756 7 лет назад

@matthewmendens9750 7 лет назад

I LOVE this series!!!

@mowglilp 7 лет назад

Not fair. You should take 3 laps with the GT86 and I bet you would improve it's time as well

@alexkersten1964 7 лет назад

I did 3 laps (and more) in episode 1. That time was the fastest I could get it

@IrenicusFTW 7 лет назад

Alex Kersten i believe he meant that your total laps (experience) with the IS keeps improving the more you drive it... either that or the gearbox is knackered? But yeah, the 86 would improve a second or two with non-prius rubber as well, guaranteed. That being said... its a no brainer that for 9 double O this value is unbeatable.

@LRM12o8 7 лет назад

but the whole point is to see if you could tune an IS200 to match a stock GT 86. (read: to see if a budget track car could keep up with an expensive sportscar) Of course the GT 86 has more potential...

@mowglilp 7 лет назад

Oh, ok then. Wasn't aware.

@lawrences1347 7 лет назад

Alex Kersten Dorry dude but you're way too inconsistent of a driver for this series to be meaningful in any way. The track bring so tight and technical doesn't help either.

@H31995 7 лет назад

old wheels are better looking though ! shoulda put a good set of tyres on the 17s instead

@sebastianochs7603 7 лет назад

We are going for speed, not bling-bling.

@H31995 7 лет назад

17" wheels with good tyres would perform better as well !!

@UniversityOfTurmoil 7 лет назад

Indeed. But I suspect they filmed this episode at the same time as the first one so would have needed a 2nd set of wheels rather than reusing the stock wheels, plus they need to please the sponsor by being seen to buy parts like wheels and exhausts even though they won't add much 'speed' to the project.

@stefanhuber7338 7 лет назад

H31995 the new wheels are lighter though, and i think they are better looking too but thats just a matter of personal preference

@sebastianochs7603 7 лет назад

It added almost a second, so what are you talking about?

@v_alexiadis 7 лет назад

I'm considering buying those Nankangs as well at some point. Good to hear some positive stuff!

@uliion9033 7 лет назад

pretty good idea for content. really enjoying it.

@mikemx55 7 лет назад

Fitting smaller wheels, increases the torque at the wheels, so you've virtually given it a bit more power too.

@BrianWeber13 7 лет назад

I was wondering why they downsized. How do smaller wheels affect handling?

@simonrook5743 7 лет назад

Miguel Ribeiro no, wheel size is irrelevant, it's tyre rolling diameter that matters and they have fitted tyres with a bigger sidewall to bring it back to about the same size.

@mikemx55 7 лет назад

yeah, Although I don't think the sidewall looks that much different on both tyres. does he say the old size in the video? I didn't pay attention

@MrJustapersn 7 лет назад

Honestly was expecting Alex to use better tyres than those cheap shit nankangs. Obviously new tyres no matter what brand will have better grip than the tattered old ones, but they would've been better off keeping the existing wheels and spending more for some Bridgestone, Pirelli or Continental rubber.

@r129r16pfl 7 лет назад

Those are not regular tires, ns2r's will outperform every other 'normal' summer tire

@user-ds9fr5bj9s 7 лет назад

Remember you should do an alignmet for the new wheel set, and also very important thing- new tires need some time to fit for the alignment and to get rid of some grease on them ;)

@peebo777 7 лет назад

such a sick series already

@kal1mm 7 лет назад

fit an antilag

@SinisterRubberDuckie 7 лет назад

gonna need a turbo first

@milan5159 7 лет назад

KAL 1 you need turbo first

@GatisGirdenis 7 лет назад

WiniPlays actually, no, you don't. without a turbo it serves no purpose though, but in vw world there are some who program antilag on non turbo vr6s.

@kal1mm 7 лет назад

*turbo then antilag

@KXP70 7 лет назад

Fuck turbo. Centrifugal supercharger is what this needs 😉

@joraforever9899 7 лет назад

16 inch, really?

@Courtathor 7 лет назад

JoraForever yep, cheaper tyres, less weight.

@Mgoblagulkablong 7 лет назад

Noob. Smaller wheels = less weight = faster. Big wheels are simply retarded, only fools who want shiny bling-bling like them.

@maxxjettfilms6322 7 лет назад

JoraForever the only reason you should have larger rims is for larger brakes, otherwise you are hurting performance

@rosskidd7243 7 лет назад

Cheaper :P

@theepicturban 7 лет назад

@herihao797 7 лет назад

Very nice content. Really interesting.

@thundercamel 7 лет назад

Great work! I love the detailed comparison. I think I would have overhauled the brakes and done a race alignment before worrying about the suspension, but I can't complain. For the general public, DO NOT test the performance of brand new tires before breaking them in! I almost slid off the road on the first turn once. Found out new tires still have lube on them, that prevents the tire from sticking to the mold when they're manufactured.

@Kristoph109 7 лет назад

Wow the part showing him having to steer less on new tyres actually blew me away!

@Beer_Dad1975 7 лет назад

They were such good cars, my mother in law had one when they were still fairly new - used to take any excuse to drive it. Sadly she sold it to my sister in law, who has totally trashed it since - she still has it, and it's still running reliably despite a complete lack of any servicing. It looks a lot like this one, with loads of dents and rust and flaking paint.

@svetlanahristova1634 7 лет назад

@thermography5217 6 лет назад

Great video! In a 60 lap race you are a minute faster:) Some don't realize how much just 1/10th of a second per lap adds up at the end of a longer race.
