Alex is going viral 👏
i clicked this vid way to fast lmao
Are you me

i’m in love w mine
Love these - had a perfect manual a few years ago, sold it to a guy who left a note. Ended up buying another a few years later because they’re such fun. Clear tails forever ❤️
I have a 5spd and I love it! Took me about a year to find one in decent condition that wasn’t over priced. Hoping to turbo it in a year or two!
What would be overpriced to you?? With x amount of miles on the car
@@y0daaaanything over 5😂 with more than 210k miles
@@reallydawg5987 nah I got me a 2019 Gti lmao
Great video, love my 2002. Suspension, wheels and tires done and few other cosmetic upgrades made it a head turner.. But it's an auto..., every fan boy asks "when are you gonna turbo it?" And I'm plenty happy with the na 2j, just need that pedal for my left foot and I would be in heaven, it's a fantastic car, true toyota dedication to driver enjoyment.
Mannnn I saw is300 and clicked IMMEDIATELY! I will be doing a manual swap very soon! I’d love to get into drifting in it within a few years
I dont know why but it feels like the video was flowing extremly well🤔
+10hp for the editing 🚗💥💨🔥
loveeee this video alex, i have a little brother(20yo) with 2 of these cars, one a daily driver even in winter, and a rust free option that came with a blown motor. some doofus before him tried to turbo the car, boost gauge plumbed backwards and all. super fun cars tho, hes going back to stock na motor, and hopefully a manual swap too! keep up the great work and Happy holidays!
Had mine way back in 09 vis hood, with Rhys Millen body kit. Hks hi power exhaust, headers and back then turbos were not the only kit. Threw on the vortech centril kit made 8 lbs of boost, Brian coward cams. I LOVED that dang car.
Yall be on it with these intros. Alex gels and Dakota. Yall keep doing yalls thing. Loving the content
is300 purist here. (Is3 was my first car and I currently have a 5MT Sportcross) and this video… is more accurate than id like it to be 😂
This car was the first project/daily it’s an 01 and everything I know and do started because of this car. I’ve tried selling it like 4-5 times but there’s so much sentimental value that I couldn’t so now I’m in the process of manual swapping it (without going broke buying it all at once) give me about a year and it’ll be the most prized car I’ll ever own it’s at 251k miles too
I love my is300 01 super clean fun OE +++ street build. Yea she’s slow but it just gives the fans more time to admire her great looks. Picked it up back in 02 and plan to keep her forever ❤
Yours looks awesome man, do you have a ig?
@@reececarpenter7426 thank you 🙏I did it got hacked 😩 so I have to start a new one
Loved our IS300, Great car for drifting and can be super clean if done right :)
dropped the video at the perfect time. After 2 years of sitting in my driveway I'm working on my car again.
We need a video on the second gen IS as well.
BUILT DIFFERENT

You should do the Lexus SC300/SC400 Next!
Had my 6spd manual IS200 for nearly 2 years now, loving every bit of it!
What transmission do you have? Tired of my 5 speed! Needs one more gear!
@@NateDawggy I've got a 6 speed J160 box 😁 they come factory with IS200s
@@NateDawggyj160, its glass, I’ve heard of stock BEAMS’ breaking them
I miss my 02 Charcoal 300…I was the man in 06! 😢
Eagerly waiting for the GS300 round 2! Alex I know you love VIP’s with some Lilo and Stitch Jumba looking headlights. My son told me to ask for one on his 97 AE101 Corolla too. #prouddadmoment 😂😂😂
Very cool video. I just wish that the sportcross came with a factory manual.
Jzs171 1jzgte fits like a glove In the 1gfe powered Altezza’s/is200’s with no difficulty
Damn seeing the sport wagon makes me want one so fucking bad its so beautiful
Hey there Mr. Martini, the IS300's are so cool to the instrument cluster, the ass (meaning rear) of the car and those taillights, they still look modern to this day. Personally, I live in Las Vegas NV, I don't see to many of them know I seen a couple of the Solar Yellow IS300's one was a widebody on the freeway. I randomly seen a green one, etc. They are cool now the things that "kill" these vehicles are the subframe's I think the rears to be exact it's something about the corrosion UpNorth and these cars can't really take it. But nevertheless, they are cool.
Please make a video on the bmw 1 series, i love that car and I'd love to hear more about it
yoooooooooo! love this car
Please do a video on the underrated gem, the LS460 (especially the '06 to '11 models)
We need a Sc300/400 video soon!!!
You can swap a 2jzgte vvti ecu into it and slap a spinny boy on it. Just gotta add some sensors and move some pins around on the ecu. Fuel map on the gte ecu can handle 400whp (which is perfect, any more and you'll blow the motor).
You gotta splice the ecu with ur stock one, harder than it sounds also gotta do fuel and oil system. It can handle more power just nothing past 5 psi on stock con rods which usually ends up being around 400hp anyways.
I've done Na-T loved it! Even with that, just go 3UZ for more power. Current setup with a W58. Easy reliable power.
Awesome deal g
I’d love to see a how to modify a civic wagovan I just think they’re not talked about enough ❤
I picked up a Focus ST, y’all got any suggestions for ways to modify?
Please do Sc300/400/soarer next
Hello future/current IS300 owner!
Here’s a couple helpful notes not mentioned in the video. Despite what the video says, the car greatly benefits from a sway bar upgrade in the back at the very least. Eibach.
The manual box in these cars is not common. The auto is actually better, simple adjustments in its valve body and pressure switch will make it shift faster with less lag and the revs will drop quicker.
The limited slip diff from the GT86/FRS is a direct swap into the is300, and it’s geared higher and a little stronger than the stock diffs.
No thanks, if I wanted an auto I would buy a different car. I want an inline-6 attached to a manual transmission without Supra prices.
Gotta do a vid on the new Toyota Corolla Hatchbacks
I love my is300, solar yellow boys represent
any recommendations on where to get body kits?
Speaking of sc400, WHERES THE VID I NEEEEEEDDDD ITTTTT😂
Just bought one this week needs work but it’s black and manual 02
I LOVE MY W55 IS300
Please do caliber srt4 🙏
I have a question, where can i find a 2004 IS300? i cant find it anywhere.
Y38 diff and manual swap will keep most happy for a while.
I need a is250 2nd gen viddddd
is300 owners that had sold always regretted it. I will never sell!
Working on buying a low mileage Sportscross for a daily cruiser. I'm hoping the deal goes through.
You gotta do a gs 300
Proud factory 5 speed owner
Can you do a 4th gen prelude?
I put trispoke Advan sa3r on mine and it looks fire.
Trispoke supremacy🗣️🗣️
When he said “weird pedal behavior” i felt that 😭
Just bought one today 😁, can’t wait to start throwing shit at it
N/a 5 speed + welded diff and the quantumautotune on the ecu shit rips hard ands and drives itself. I did also replace every bushing possible and put on coilovers the car pretty much drives itself.
Please do a how to modify an NC miata
Pls do gs300 third gen
Anyone know what the "weird pedal behavior" is that he refers to? Is he talking about the APPS/throttle body issues these are known to have?
Do a how to mod a GS300 video Alex
I want to make a track IS300 because I love the design of this 4 door sedan, it’s so underrated in my opinion, but how much power should I comfortably make? I was thinking of aiming for around 350-400 but I’m not sure how I should get there in a relatively reliable manner.
Find a 2jz ge non vvti and swap the bottom end with the is300 vvti head and gte head gasket. Then you'll need a good ecu to make sure everything stays in check

GS300 next
Can we get a ISF next
I drive the auto.with cold intakes and big exhaust with a gs300 engine..hp is 230. Only ish is valve stem seals expired and transmission expired.but still driving it like that till I replace trans and stem seals. Oil burner and not friendly on gas.
Can you please do “How to modify an NSX?”
I’m the original owner of a 2002 solar yellow (e-shift, full leather, LSD, no chrome or spoiler, Nav) and did the Greddy Evo exhaust at less than 1k miles. It’s perfect. Nice tone, not obnoxious under normal driving, but growls nicely at WOT. SRT intake kit, strut & sway bars. Totally mint. Interior is flawless. No chips or dents. Has never been through a car wash, only hand washed by me for 22 years.
Mine is the same, 02’ Intense blue Pearl , E-Shift, LSD, Nav, I love this car
I got my jade pearl is300 for 3200 in 2017. Blitz exhaust, a bunch of old L-tuned parts and full Kaminari lip kit. My property managers made me sell it in 2020 when I was in the middle of a W58 swap. Sucks. Now I've got a Z31 300zx, I love it but it's not comfy like the Lexus
What is the car in the background?
Have an automatic 2004. It was passed down to me. Im shit for brauns with cars, so im trying to learn everything

Here's my take in the IS300, keep the factory Automatic and VIP it out!
So does anyone know what’s the Pedal problem with the is300 because I’m currently haven’t that Exact issue? & this bitch is reving a lil too high at idle . Someone help a brother out please🥲😊
