You just need to learn throttle control when the car kicks out, like you know how to feather the throttle when you go from a stand still into a slide, just need to use that same feathering motion into corners, but with the open diff I understand it could be a bit sketch
I've been trying to get my back to swing out a bit on rainy days. Still don't really have the hang of it but I don't freak like the first few times I did it.
Try finding a wider road with longer curves and better visibility. Also, get used to letting go of the wheel try practice getting a feel of what controlled oversteer feels like. source: owned a VZ Commodore for a short while
I hear ya! But I’m not sure I trust letting go of the wheel in this car specifically, I’ve found it likes to grip up and go straight at the most random times, and milliseconds truly do count when it comes to correcting a slide / preventing a crash
@@EnjinTale thanks man, I really appreciate you making these. My car is on recall and they are taking Ages for no reason. Anyways these videos help clear the mind, nothing beats the sound of that 5.0 v8
It seems you still have TC still turned on. In toyota vehicles you have to be in a standstill and hold the TC button for 10 seconds. Im just saying this because I still see the TC light flashing as the wheels spin and the power seems to cut out.
@@EnjinTale oh okay, just checking. I was jsut wondering becuase they lights arent supposed to flash when TC and VSC are off. But if the ISF does that then I am wrong
@@aviandooley3466On the ISF the flashing will just be an indication that you are losing traction, but it is still fully off and won’t turn traction control back on at any time until you manually do it yourself
Depends. If I want to keep it long term, then ofcourse I’d like to have the best model available. Life is full of surprises though, so we’ll see what happens
@@keponen331 It’s a Performance car, ofcourse it can. This is true for the IS350 I had, you couldn’t turn off traction control completely, and it would always kick in to save you. But you can in the ISF. What you’re referring to as “traction control” is me taking my foot off the throttle, to allow the wheels to grip up again. You can see that in all the clips in the video. Had I kept applying throttle, I would be in the wall, and this video wouldn’t be on RUclips
I choose to do this when there is no one around. At any corner or straight where there were other cars (which didn’t make the video) I would choose to drive responsibly. The only endangered person is myself. I hope you understand

It’s a bit tough, and definitely more dangerous, but it still does a much better job than my IS350 ever did!
now this is a guy that gets it
1:26 Impressive detection ngl, usually my DFR6NZ either picks up the redflex vans only when you're in the danger zone or not at all.
I’ve found the DFR7 very good so far. No complaints tbh. Hasn’t let me down yet. Has even detected cops from 1-2km away.
Dope video bro, gotta love testing the limits in the wet 😉
Dude this video is amazing man love the content and the car!! Subscribed
Thank you man!!!
You’re insane for doing this in open diff 😂
For the contenttt hahaha
Driven a 2011 ISF and they are more forgiving in wet compared to earlier ISF s
I’d love to try that one day
You should install Torsten LSD
Very hard to locate where I live unfortunately!
@@EnjinTale top end motorsports sells the ATS Carbon limited slip differential, i'm getting one for my SC430
'I just wanna get use to it"
Starts ripping isf..
Yeah man only way to do it

It’s so much fun and very intimidating the first few times! I still get that adrenaline rush every time
If you’re able to, try to find a used LSD. Would be a lot cheaper than trying to find a newer F
I will keep having a look around for sure. Would be a lot cheaper as you say. Maybe if there’s a wrecked one someday.
Maad pov vid bro! Where then hill roads because I would love to drift with ya 😅🙌🙏
This was the Whangamoa stretch!

did you end up selling the F? what would be your budget if you were to buy a facelift model in the future?
Hey man, no I still have it, still wanting to make more videos soon. I’d be looking at spending roughly 35k for a facelift if I were to get one.
@@EnjinTale hey man no rush i just love your videos your driving skills are nuts! it doesn't even have to be edited
@@lunara9158 Really appreciate it mate!
Yoo! You gotta make some more pov videos 😢
Copy that
@@EnjinTale thanks man, I really appreciate you making these. My car is on recall and they are taking Ages for no reason. Anyways these videos help clear the mind, nothing beats the sound of that 5.0 v8
I want a isf so bad when I’m 18😭
Worth it!!

TC and VSC is fully off as mentioned at 1:56. These are the 2 yellow lights in the bottom rights of the cluster
On some specific older models of IS you have to do a "pedal dance" to fully turn off traction control. Not sure about IsF's though.

@@EnjinTale oh ok makes sense. Thanks for letting me know. Definitely different from other Toyota vehicles
New Zealand?
Yeah man
What tyres do u got on the back?
Currently I have Maxxis Victra Sport 5’s on the back, and Potenza Sport’s on the front
Duh ofcourse it’s fun it’s a v8😂
Do you think it's worth spending more for the lsd model
Depends. If I want to keep it long term, then ofcourse I’d like to have the best model available. Life is full of surprises though, so we’ll see what happens
I had an 08 and now have an 11, definitely worth it for the LSD, better suspension and better gauge cluster
@@dill6078 That’s great to hear, thanks for your reply!
@dill6078 imo I do I think its worth the extra 10-15k for the lsd
@@kennyjohnson4515 And the 2011+ does tend to hold its value a lot better than pre 2010’s do.
you're just revving for no reason until traction controll saves you. retrofit an LSD from a old is200 and learn to drive smooth
Traction control is completely off my friend. I wonder if an IS200 diff is plug and play with an ISF?
@@EnjinTale its never completely off in a Toyota or Mercedes, its obvious in the vid. its plug and play for a 250 so probably

lets endanger everyone for my ego

inaccurate speedometer 😂
In Mexico too! Who would’ve thought
