      Yes I am able to afford it. Do I want to deal with the headaches and troubles of a not so perfected supercharger from RR racing who themselves have not even figured out tuning issues as well as transmission issues once this supercharger is installed? No.

      @@JasonNguyen that's life aye, but as you said there may be someone else that would fulfil you dream by installing the SC onto their 250 and probably do something different in a way..
      For me back then the is250 was my first dream car. I wasn't in it for the power, it was the look of it and the 07 model when I first one of my school mate borrowed it from his brother for year 12 formal. It was lowered and on some chrome wheels.
      My cousin also had an is250 and it was sc as well. It was some custom sc.. RR sc was definitely not around.
      Anyways long story short, the first F sport series 2 caught my attention with the semi sport like the grille and duck spoiler.. series 3 of the 2is f sport was the one I really wanted but that time it was out of my budget so I bought the 07 with F sport style grille will some mods like coils and some other minor cosmetic parts from ebay. Turns out it was a lemon. Lol
      I'd spent alot of money and I mean crazy money to give it a new life new look as I didn't want to give up on it.
      I'll try and keep it as long as I can but nothing is guaranteed as the more we grow the more we think differently.
      Overall Jason, thank you for your valued time to create content to keep someone like myself entertained... I do rewatch your earlier videos as well. I can never get bored of them videos. Whatever you do always remember be happy with yourself as it's very important.

      The only thing you can really do is FBO. Which is intake, FULL exhaust, and tune. And that’ll probably give you about +25 hp😂. There’s a hybrid turbo out there but it’s expensive and difficult to find. Idk if they even make it anymore. The 200t has absolutely 0 potential to make more power😔

    You did yourself a favor. RR racing is very good at hiding their horror stories and keeping people quiet about the havoc their shitty kits have wrecked engines. I'm part of a F group with over 100 Fs and 4/4 of the members who had their kit has had nightmares with their kit. Good on you for realizing that Lexus are meant to be quick and fast. I gave up the idea of building an RcF and sold it and got a real performance car, C7 Z06. Getting it tuned next week with fbo and e85, should put down 675ish whp RELIABILIY. No lexus could ever do that. I will get a LX600 in the future for a daily.

    With rent and dogs and other bills, it got to the point where it did not make sense to keep it anymore (was still paying it off). Just sold it a month ago, was really sad lol. But it is what it is. Will get another car when it makes more sense.
