Austin: "im going to 100% pull the trigger on the LS swap" Also Austin: "i just spent my LS time/money buying a transmission that wont work for my LS swap"
@Eze&Yare Dominguez he should just sell the IS300 and get a c5. c5s are like $10K now. The swap will probably cost more than that. Idk why you wouldn't do a 1J with an ar5 on this car.
@Eze&Yare Dominguez I don't think they're increasing in price . They haven't hit rock bottom yet. The C8 is starting to hit dealerships. Their price will continue to fall. Although they will appreciate faster than the C4 due to drift support.
Dakota: This car's slow, get terrible MPG, and it's expensive for a manual. What's actually good about it? Austin: The dashboard looks kinda cool. God I love this show.
Yeah, it's a cause his engine is broken and he's an idiot. My Is300 is fast, has comfy heated leather seats, looks awesome, RWD, fits into parking spaces, has a first aid kit, the spare is a spare and not piece of shit saver, has a sun roof, GPS and heated mirrors. If I want, I can bolt on turbo and get 230KW.
I had an is300 for 19 years and it was the most reliable car I ever had. just sold it last year and upgraded to an 2014 STI and my is300 did way better on gas then the STI
@@armaggedon4christ I'm either going to build the ge motor up and single turbo it or throw in a 2jz-gte. I plan on doing the 1jz swap on an Altezza so I can use the 3sge for a blown ae86
The car math part of Driver to Driver always makes me laugh. Dakota's face every time someone says some crazy number makes him go into insta roast mode. Even to himself.
I like is300 community better than the sc300/400 community. SC community is just a bunch of old guys with luxury builds that think they're rich for owning a Lexus.
You've been mis-informed. My IS300 with 16" winter wheels & snow tires is as unstoppable as a Sherman tank. Better grip than my 4x4 SUV in snow and easy to control too. Regarding mileage, my 5+speed gets 23 mpg in mixed driving on 89 octane. The rest of your "Cons" list is trivial. Sticky dash is simply cosmetic + easily fixed. A sixth gear might help improve mileage during hwy cruising, but is totally unnecessary from a practical standpoint. They are uber-reliable and a blast to drive. That's what really counts.
@@ppopovich2847 You're right, tires make the majority of the difference. Your mpg seems unrealistically high though, you must baby it the entire time. My best combined is like 20 mpg with the occasional pedal to the metal.
I have an 04 is300 sitting in the driveway and totally felt that mpg. It literally sucks gas and you get to watch the gage stay at 0mpg until you let off the gas.
I love the rx8 but if you could roast the sh*t out of someone who owns one that would be funny, I wanna know what kinda pain I'll have to face in the future 😂😂
I bought my IS in 2014 with the intent to swap. Then someone offered a swapped car. Now I have 2 one stock and one tuned. Both can beat a sienna. And both are extremely reliable.
I'm having a hard time keeping my balls from busting every time I see this series. I'm busting from seeing the thumbnail before watching the actual episode. Please help and buy their merch.
Unrelated and no one probably cares but my idea for an LS is an LQ9 block with 4.8 crank, and rods with the LQ9 6.0 pistons, bringing my cubic inches go somewhere around 336 or 333, I dont remember exactly. Also I know I can just bore out a 4.8 block to the 6.0 bore width but I feel a LQ9 will have a stronger block. Even considered a 5.3 aluminum block with the 6.0 piston bore. For heads I want to say 706 was the code I decided on. I'm that guy on year 2 still trying to work out the math Lol. Intake is Holly lo-ram modular intake, stock truck injectors, upgraded ignition obviously, stock truck ecu, it does work and take/read boost, borgwarner s366 or s466 turbo(again I forget)for like 600 bucks, water intercooler, hooker ls turbo swap log with custom cross over. And a t56 that'll handle like 800hp and 1000ft lbs because you never know. Lol oh and turbo cam with specs i haven't fully worked out. Anyone willing to chip in and discuss this seriously with me will be greatly appreciated because I always enjoy gaining help.
Your dream and want for the IS300 was like me and the Cobalt SS was before i got one and beat on it a little bit👀... Now I have a 350z and also plan an LS swap for the future. Plan to run a t56 6 speed
Where do you find these for 2 grand? Over in the southeast of the US every one i find has at least a 5 grand asking price and theyre never ever a manual nevermind the obligatory high miles.
Got my IS300 for 4K with 150k miles. Put 60k miles on it in two years, parked it and now driving a GS300, while I wait for parts to modify my clapped out IS.
I call it to this day as the Toyota Altezza from racing games like Gran Turismo 2.What it’s known as in Japan. But nonetheless, that’s how I found this car and I’ve just loved it ever since. I would love to own one someday

Eze&Yare Dominguez yes transmission cost more than 2k surprise
@Eze&Yare Dominguez he should just sell the IS300 and get a c5. c5s are like $10K now. The swap will probably cost more than that. Idk why you wouldn't do a 1J with an ar5 on this car.
yeah he's not smart. His engine is fucked and he's like '????- Derp'
@Eze&Yare Dominguez I don't think they're increasing in price . They haven't hit rock bottom yet. The C8 is starting to hit dealerships. Their price will continue to fall. Although they will appreciate faster than the C4 due to drift support.

These Driver to Drivers make my lunch break so much fun. Great laughs!
I love my IS300. First saw the Altezza in 1999 as a kid on Gran Turismo 2. Fell in love with the way they look.
Lol yeah me too, then NFS U2, NFSMW... etc
It was midnight club 3 for me. It's got such a unique look 😍 I love it

Mike M well let me see you put 1200 on a stock bottom 2jzge
This was great!
As an is300 owner, I laughed & laughed & laughed.....
❤❤❤
you guys are the reason i have a is300 in my driveway right now ! litteraly 2 weeks after seeing so you want a is300 . love this car
the car does have a nice gauge cluster
Never stop making this series Dakota 😂 it’s so funny and entertaining
I love the editing on this series.
I want Alex.fi and his stretched turbo Bug.
DO RSX TYPE S!!!!
The car math part of Driver to Driver always makes me laugh. Dakota's face every time someone says some crazy number makes him go into insta roast mode. Even to himself.
I bet none of y'all have even seen doctor to doctor with Dr. Steve Brule. The context makes these videos even better
Adultswim - Tim and Eric Show. CITE YOUR SOURCES so we know what you're talking about.
I believe the show was called check it out
Hilarious show. John C. Reilly kills it on every episode..
Whenever I hear people say stupid shit, about anything, I hear the theme song to Driver to Driver.
I like is300 community better than the sc300/400 community. SC community is just a bunch of old guys with luxury builds that think they're rich for owning a Lexus.
First actual good deal on driver to driver 😂
Pros: reliable, looks good, great handling characteristics, LSD, engine sounds nice, comfy seats, cool dash & shift knob.
Cons: teRRible in snow, low mpg, no overdrive for freeway, some cheap cabin materials, sticky dash, rear seats don't fold down, difficult to replace sparkplugs & oil filter.

My question was first. I feel so honored.
This guy needs to do more of the videos. I like his videos more than the ones with Alex.
Finally my car
Another great episode! Would love to see a Driver to Driver with an S2000 owner!!
I love the rx8 but if you could roast the sh*t out of someone who owns one that would be funny, I wanna know what kinda pain I'll have to face in the future 😂😂
I dont really think it's worth roasting, if your buying a rotary than your in for enough pain already
blaidd ifanc it’s called keeping up with maintenance, they are reliable if u find one in good condition with good compression
Meh I paid 2000 for a clean auto with 150k 🤷🏽♂️ can’t complain
Must be nice. Cant find one in decent shape for under 6 (at least in oregon)
Took me months to find a clean manual is300 100% worth it!
Just cant get over that intro🔥🔥😂😂😂😂😂
this is the best series on the channel
“Looks like beer, smells like beer, ........ BUT IT’S NOT FUN LIKE BEER”
I fell out of my desk chair laughing at this 😂
Dakota you are absolutely killing it with this series 😂😂😂😂😂🤣💯
Loving the is300 content!
This is literally the car version of Between Two Ferns lmao
Finally checked out your website! Man, you guys know what’s up! I’m so going to buy my wheels from you guys.

Oh bless this series
I know it’s a joke, but Dakota behaves EXACTLY like a mustang guy.
The price difference today is insane. He mentioned a manual with 60k miles for 5k. You wouldn't find them for under 15k now.
Got mine for 10 with 168k
On his wish app supra 😭😭
