@@jjsabedeautos Yes I found a cheap radiator cap on mines when I bought it at a used dealership. I threw the cheap one away and got an OEM one from the lexus dealership.
Plan on buying my homies old is300 he wasn’t a drifter or nun n he got a hatch back Lexus , hopefully everything looks good this video really gave me a idea maintenance over mods when I first get it 💯
Literally JUST got my new timing kit and it came with a water pump. All because my my water bypass outlet started leaking coolant 🤦🏻♂️ and I noticed a small oil leak. Also check your spark plugs ASAP! Tuck your bank 2 sensor 2 o2 sensor if you Plan on going low (p0161).
Why does this guy remind me of Mr potato head.. Anyway I have had an rs200 AT altezza for about 13 years. No issues at all due to proper maintenance. Thinking of doing a 2jz MT swap at some point. Great video!
I wanna go down on mine 1.5 with eibach springs and Kyb strut/shocks. It’s my daily; Just started working on the interior swap to black for that ugly beige cannot be more obnoxious lol
I prefer BC's over tiens from the cars I've drove. 12k front 10k rear is really comon spring rate if your daily driving with 14k 12k if you want something a bit more sporty.
Yeas definitely I would go with tein flex z.I have tein Flex Coilover and I love them.They are more for Daly driver or track use as well.I Daily drive my Lexus and it feels 95 percent OEM feel .
As I begin driving harder and tandeming I wanted something more predictable and I’m starting to prefer how they feel. I don’t have anything against the lsd tho
I never worked at a dealership where every tech was seasoned or knew all the models front to back. I would still say do it, but any good shop with laser alignment and rep will be fine. My dealership charges too much even with my discount, so I don't do it that way.
Nice bumper mine came with half a bumper I can only imagine what it looked like seeing your bumper gives my car hope 10 years or more cigarette smoke in the windows up the whole time fix that I cleaned carpets soap and water the seats the headliner back area behind the seats cigarette smoke liquefied onto the window a brown tint mostly in the back window both rear windows left and right cleaning about 3 or 4 inches from the top a yellow stain going down about 4 inches I can just imagine a fog fog the guys driving in and I wonder if his food that he's delivering smells like cigarettes Pizza add cigarettes Sushi and cigarettes kung pao chicken add cigarettes Panera add cigarettes you should make that kind of behavior illegal most people would put the food in the trunk however this car when I open the trunk the cigarette smell was just as bad who smokes cigarettes in the trunk hot boxes we have a lowered Mustang GT both Lexus stock and run very well the GS it's more balanced the is model looks like they carved out a Toyota Corolla somebody mentioned wheel spacers I definitely think the widest tires you can call my car is have between 250 and 300,000 miles I would call this 3 l a truck motor
MOST IMPORTANT!! MAKE SURE THE RADIATOR CAP IS OEM or else it'll leak and blow your headgasket.
Really?
@@jjsabedeautos Yes I found a cheap radiator cap on mines when I bought it at a used dealership. I threw the cheap one away and got an OEM one from the lexus dealership.
how does a leaking radiator cap lead to a blown headgasket?
@@asdasd-om8tj low coolant will overheat your engine causing damage of rod bearings and blown head gasket.
@@ABoredTroll ah you mean threads leaking? the pressure release wouldnt really let coolant out
hell yeah man. my IS300 has been tough as nail. reliable af! and I love how she purrs
Same!
Water pump, timing belt, and all the seals next on my list ☑️ just redid the front suspension and installed Tein Flex Z coils

the groups are great are funny especially socal lol about time one of these isn't "get this shit knob" lol or "change the radio" keep em coming bro
🙏🏽
The only things I haven’t done are the seals. I’m actually super happy I at least did 4/5 lol
That’s still pretty good!!
What a great video I will be linking it in all the new guy posts.
Thanks!!
“Does this line go to anything ? It looks like it was capped off” 🤣
🤣🤣
I also recommend getting some roll center adjusters if you plan on going low

I’m in process of rebuilding my IS300 i snagged at Copart unsight unseen some minor work on the rears and I’m good to go.
How’s that going bro. Love copart
@@jazzydro5424 finished it a while back just rear bumper and tailights is all that it needed.
Your mustache brought me here.

Hi mate. Can I ask what rear spoiler do you have on? It looks sick af
Iv been looking at getting an is300 and plan to just pull the motor and do all the gaskets and seals
Hi. You mentioned getting coilovers after alignment. How about other way around?
You can get an alignment when ever but I soon as you mess with suspension and ride height, You have to get an alignment again
Damn, did all of the above except for the bushings/ball joints. You just made me scared lol
What suspension will you recommend for non lowered? Will you list what you recommend ?
factory replacement
very important that the coolant is red, have had issues with green causing electrolysis.
Bc coils has made my 300 a cloud, ecru one who gets in loves how she rides
Can anyone say me how to know if my alteeza came from factory mannual and not swapped?
Love my 01 Lexus IS300 (lsd)💪👍
You from the Bay? SF or DC? 2nd question, if a owner got all 5 at the same time how much? 3. If ur from the Bay what shop would you recommend?
My is has 255k miles with only a cat back that sounds like I have a turbo for some reason and a cold air intake 😅😅
I wanna go down on mine 1.5 with eibach springs and Kyb strut/shocks. It’s my daily; Just started working on the interior swap to black for that ugly beige cannot be more obnoxious lol
You making me wanna buy one at one used car dealership
I have a short about my lower ball joint popping out while I was coming down the driveway while I was going down the driveway
Hey I need help on my is 300 just bought it
Hello brother, how long did the painting that you put on your miata last?
I sold the car so I can’t really say
What oil exactly for the power steering? ATF but what brand
Would you recommend tien coilovers ?
Honestly I havnt drove on them yet, but I havnt heard any good things for this chassis and that coilovers
I prefer BC's over tiens from the cars I've drove. 12k front 10k rear is really comon spring rate if your daily driving with 14k 12k if you want something a bit more sporty.
@@piraterick488 but bc coilovers way more fam I’m on a budget lol
Yeas definitely I would go with tein flex z.I have tein Flex Coilover and I love them.They are more for Daly driver or track use as well.I Daily drive my Lexus and it feels 95 percent OEM feel .
@@marcosbravo87 thanks man
Great video.. yet we still gonna get asked stupid questions in the is300 fb groups😂
Facts! Haha
What do you need for an alignment after coilovers? Toe arms?
You can get an alignment anytime. But once you replace a suspension component, it’s recommended to get an alignment.
the coolant does matter tho, pink and red doesnt corrode the aluminum head
What’s a good web site for struts basically front end
So why did you re-replace your diff from lsd back to welded diff?
As I begin driving harder and tandeming I wanted something more predictable and I’m starting to prefer how they feel. I don’t have anything against the lsd tho
@@CorneliusVeee I have a daily and just Baught one. Just haven't installed it yet and don't know what to expect. Wanted feedback on it.
@@elfocker it's like driving around on full pp mode.
what kind of exhaust setup do you have?
Resonator delete with welded on muffler
Bro we have 3 is300s 😭 so everything is 3x the price and they all need maintenance
Damn so many!
@@CorneliusVeee we have 2 sportcrosses and 1 manual
Get your alignment at the dealership. They charge about the same as all other places and they know the cars front and back.
I never worked at a dealership where every tech was seasoned or knew all the models front to back. I would still say do it, but any good shop with laser alignment and rep will be fine. My dealership charges too much even with my discount, so I don't do it that way.
Man just listed everything wrong with my car 😅
😅🤣
What do you think about h&r lowering springs on stock shocks/struts with 122k miles? No drifting or ricer activities just a daily
I would definitely change out the shocks. More than likley they will be blown.
Lemme save you some time buy each part of the car LMAO summary of this video
Nice camera movement. Lol
