Definitely not no exhaust manifold will be smog legal in California including the PPE one with the cat on it.

We have been using this radar detector every single day since SEMA 2023 and zero issues, only thing was I accidently hit the brightness button one and it went dark mode and all I had to do was hit that button and it came back. Its also alerted me super accurately several times on long trips, what problems are you having?

PPE UEL RHD and if you want NOVEL Kinda EL for RHD is available as well just email us at sales@modinjapan.com with your full name, email, billing address and phone number and I can refer you to the correct distributor. If anywhere in North America, that's us, if it's outside, I can help refer.

Unfortunately nothing I’m aware of

NS-C pretty much as the old NS is just not copper free but characteristics are the same

It’s just pushing the style a different direction and I will say it’s pretty in person and hard to tell in photos

Yes it does and it would sound identical to an RC F

I’ve taken it to Sand Hollow State Park and not too hard on them yet but so far they’ve held up real well

We do too

Replied on IG!

@@ModinJapan Will you guys offer the option to step the headers like the F1 cars so they sound nicer? I am trying to find a set for my 1992 SC400 1UZ-FE.

Thank you so much for the support really means a lot you like our Taco!

The absolute best lol

Check Etsy there is a person that 3D prints a solution.

That’s a very common story but one day if you do decide to look at it again, let us know

Totally understand but honestly I don’t even notice it ever

Nova ‘alpha black’ blacks out the logo

I have an it’s absolutely amazing the attention to detail

heres an aftermarket fix for the bumper separation shown here ruclips.net/video/4Crh6Z4jqpo/видео.html&lc=Ugyn9yKgHcOkyy6gjTR4AaABAg.A37CWGoTjx9A37NuQMZDa5

Thanks for the support!

Such a great car and load of fun on the track and that Borla is awesome sounding

Why, what’s the point?

Imagine if it was a container of iPhones way worse than our little container

Just the insane value of loss if it did

Feel free to order anytime 😉

Thank you for the support! We love the lights and hopefully its that modern McFly look.

That movie is a classic I was a kid when that came out when I seen that in your video remember the movie at the end when he went out to the garage and it was sitting in the garage that was the best looking truck back in The 80s My uncle is a The Toyota guy he still has his 1987 Toyota forerunner SR5 5 Speed in his garage he has the white with the grey decals every one loved that truck when I was a kid he had rims and Tires on there it’s still in good shape it’s bin in his garage I would love to get that from him if he ever would let it go

No idea but I hope they run it for as long as they can

2025 will be last MY for 2UR GSE engine. in 2026 GT3 RCF successor will be coming with Twin Turbo V8, and the LC 500 will be replaced by a newer hybrid coupe. RC F, IS 500 will be discontinued. Get it in 2025 would be my advice. Currently the IS 500 has bumper sag, I'm an owner of the IS 500 the car is superb but it cannot compete with RC F in any way due to chassis enhancements in the RC F vs none for IS 500, sure its as fast but the F line tuning is different. I'd recommend try getting RC F, because Lexus wont fix the bumper sag on the IS 500.

@@lostalx Thanks. I was going to reply "get one before they're gone!," but then I got to your line about bumper sag. That sounds like a deal breaker. Incredible that Lexus didn't catch that.

I hope they stop making the IS 500 this year so I can say I got one of the last model just like my Yamaha R6 motorcycle. I bought my R6 for 9k now its worth 13-14k .

Glad to hear you are having a great time with it and the NOVEL parts are definitely inbound for you

You should buy both, we totally support it!

We had a chance to road race the IS350 as well on track and its a great car and loads of fun road racing and highly capable.

Very practical and amazingly the tech in that car is super good especially sport mode and the handling features.

What’s a proper gearbox?

@@bigjdm5460 A gearbox that does not lag between shifts.

@@torqenv812 I just got out of my is500 . If gearbox is warm. And ur just driving around town with no throttle . YES ur right shifts are very relaxed . If your 40% throttle or greater in sport plus manual mode it’s 87% of what a PDK is. Downshifts are 80% what a PDK would be. I’m telling you this because I’ve worked at Porsche and I’ve driven 991.2 GT2RS hard, 992 everything hard, Panamera GTS etc. If your looking for Reliability , a great V8 that feels special and sounds brutal coming out a corner banging off the rev limiter in 2nd gear, and is refined and a great daily. Then it does that in spades. If ur looking for something a little more sports car focused out the box (stiffer suspension, shifts that are 10% better, ur only go fast at a light or expressway straight) get something else OR BETTER yet an EV. U won’t even have gears! U can just be the king of the stop light. 😃

RCF or IS500 with 10 speed tranmission like LC500? 😊

We use a standard gearbox in the NOVEL RC F at the Nurburgring with a high degree of success in podiums, that being said if you are drag racing you’re right on transmission speed, but in road racing and endurance racing it’s works great

Its such a great balance between comfort and performance. Also if you build it up its highly highly capable on a track too

no...more like RCF or IS500

@@tubedude92 IS500 is not an F car, hence no F badge. ISF is the only F car in the IS family.

@@bGzzzzz lol do you even know what the ‘F’ designation means?

@@bGzzzzz btw the is500 does have f badging

@@tubedude92 - seems like you don’t 🤦‍♂️ F badge are reserved for their top vehicles. It was intended to distinguish their class like BMW/Merc/Audi with their M/AMG/S range. IS500 is NOT an F car hence why it is called an IS500 F Sport…whereas the ISF is an F car. Does that compute or is it too complicated for you to understand? FYI - ISF are no longer produced 🙄

Super happy to hear another IS500 owner out there ripping on the car, and we made this video to spread V8 Awareness, hopefully more people go out and buy IS500's and keep the most refined V8 engine going. Its such a great car on and off the track. We hope you burn through more tires too!

@@ModinJapan Count on it, 2 years at 25K miles…. 😈 Yeah, I take the long way around for everything! (Plus monthly trips to the mountains with other enthusiasts.)

Between this and IS-F lol my GX470 is already a V8 gas burner but no regrets.

Such a great car with such a good balance of power, performance and reliability. I really do hope Lexus continues making cars with a 2UR-GSE platform otherwise be real proud you had the chance to own one of the last N/A V8 engines cars out there, and definitely what i think is the best one out there.

@@ModinJapan Thank you. Great analogy. Totally agreed. Please keep up the great work

That's honestly incredible MPG, I think its not the car but my foot thats the problem. In our IS F and GS F I don't think I ever got past 19-20mpg, but then again I have a lead foot. The most interesting thing though is our Tacoma with its 3.5 L V6 gets about 12-13 MPG with all the off-road stuff on it, so your RC F is pretty much double efficient!

@@ModinJapan Yeah. I have to "try" to get good mileage but when I use cruise control and feather the throttle I can easily get >27 MPG. Sport+ mode in the city = another story!

I have gotten 32mpg in my gsf avg about 65-70 mph on the highway. But it better be a nice warm day to get that economy.

@@dvaritek434 That's great MPG!

The price of an RC F is super good right now and most arguably the best bang for your buck on a sports car that has everything you need to go out and have fun on and off the track when it comes to a used vehicle. Also considering how legendary the reliability of the engine is its really a steal, and for those that want new the IS500 F Sport Performance is the perfect brand new vehicle at a really value based price.

Just got a 2016 with 85k for 37k. Prices are good rn.

@@ABasedSammich pretty nice

100000000000% on that one, this is going to be the most refined moment the 2UR-GSE will ever be, and to your point you still see those LS400's on the road which is even more incredible for a 35 year old car. Really speaks to the reliability of Lexus and how incredible their manufacturing is.

there arent any reports of lexus discontinuing the IS500 in 2024

@@tubedude92 yea I haven’t seen anything saying they are discontinuing the IS500. 2025 could be the last year . I hope they dnt make too many . I think they made 3,800 GSF’s or less. I hope they make no more than 6,500 is500’s

We'll do our best to pump out new content very regularly and thank you so much for the support, comments like this is why we push these out!

Its such a great platform, since they invited us out to road race on track before the release we really got a chance to push the car and understand it's potential. It's probably going to be the most refined 2UR-GSE V8 platform to exist and with the IS500 it has a great price point and build up potential. Cheers on your car and as always we are here to help out in anyway we can!

It drives like one, just has some room for improvement like the brakes being more aggressive. We think the IS500 was geared to be a builders car it has all the right components like the legendarily reliable 2UR-GSE V8 platform and a very robust sports mode that allows you to toggle on a few more degrees of rear rotation from the LSD, but more affordable for what you are getting. The RC F is more nimble feeling, but the IS500 does feel better stable at high speed and you can whip the rear end around pretty easily.

@@ModinJapan does it get the oil and trans cooler? I’ve only seen people do exhaust and not big brake kits. My stock RCF TVD at full weight gets to 172 which is passed its 168 limiter. Quiet and stable with aero spoiler up or down. I haven’t seen a stock IS500 break passed 150 that it’s limited to, it’s going to be stable yes but higher speeds than an RCF is a big no.

​@@2URLexno coolers on the is500, at least when it first came out.

IMO the reason Lexus not making the IS500 the new ISF is because they knew the engine output is outdated compared to other competitors. IS500’s non-F deficiencies can easily be fixed by bolting on OEM F parts like brakes, trans cooler etc. and you can make the car pretty capable for cheaper than any of the F car. Not to mention out of the box the F isn’t as track capable as no camber adjustments, soft bushing etc. and you need to mod too. The IS chassis is good if not better. Car and Driver tested the IS500 only 2 sec slower than the RCF track edition with much narrower trash Bridgestones.

I definitely hear what you’re saying about them not being F cars. When Lexus makes a new ISF with a V8 I will more than likely trade my IS500 for one. Until then I kind of have to settle for what they have to offer. The question is are we going to get a new generation ISF with a V8? The more years that go by it looks more and more unlikely

You pretty much have the flawlessly perfect RC F that everyone dreams of having.
