Hope you've all enjoyed the series! The car is now available for bids on eBay: bit.ly/is200auction As many of you have noticed, you have to be pre-approved before you're allowed to bid. This is a precaution we have to take to make sure that no one is scamming the charity. We are going through the process of pre-approving bidders now - thanks for your patience guys, and good luck to all bidders!
Plus points for mentioning the prices of the parts used, it's always nice to know how much it would cost if you were to do something similar yourself =D Best part of the video was the shoe test, I love to see references to other car show ^-^ (Where was the exhaust fist test though?)
Me and my mates did a IS300 straight up to be a mountain killer and we did it all for under 10K USD from all of us. We installed Project U 4 & 2 pots all around with Eibach shocks and Blistein springs while running on "17 Tenzo DC6 V1 on Toyo T1R with total strip with a rollcage and some Recardo or Takata (I think it's a Takata Street Pro LE) and that's all for the chassis. While the engine had a Brian Crower Stage 2 Camshafts 264/264 camshaft, Titan Motorsport Racing Piston, a full custom headers and center pipes with a Cobra Sport back box and a remapped ECU from a MoTec M600 unit. All this work came up to about 315HP and that thing is a great machine to drive. Light, nimble and always on the rev counter.
It's not often i upvote a video, but i just had to with this one! Keep making more series like these. :) Next time: Can we buy parts from eBay to get a Mercedes 190E to go around the track as fast as a stock Ford Focus RS?
in that case also remove water bottle , oil rad, air filter box altogether, rear muffler.. hell remove even alternator.. that battery will power up for a lap no issues :D
Keep it up with this series, id love to see this go on further... Maybe even do a 3SGTE swap into it ;-) not a 2JZ.. everyone has seen that. Really am loving this series!
dont need to add boost or engine swap to gain power, the is200 has vvti, and with what he has done with the addition of an induction kit and a standalone ecu, a proper dyno tune. it would be a big improvement. i have an is200, and the only thing that really kills the power is the ecu. toyota designed it to be unmappable. even if you get it remapped, it rewrites itself back to factory settings after about 2 weeks of avg driving.
Doubt he would get 15bhp with all the mods. n/a engines cost a lot to make any sort of power. Turbo is a much cheaper option. But I see a lot of these cars with Supercharger kits. I think you could buy them with one fitted as standard from japan or a special edition.
This is my favorite video series on RUclips because I'm going down this path with an IS300. I really wish you would have done the weight reduction last. The car is only useful on the track now. The GT86 is still a passenger car so having made it the benchmark it is a very unfair comparison. I'll still be on the lookout for the next episode. Keep up the fun..
Tyler Vincent I imagine that renting a garage in the UK isn't exactly cheap so I would think that it would be sitting outside at some point and it is England so it will be raining.
He had the future in mind when he did this, see now water will leak in and it will rust so the car will have increasing weight reduction for the rest of it's life
It's August of 2K18, and I still come back to this video because the exhaust sounds that good. Hope the new BMW track build series is just as good if not better!
as it is an older car your throttle cable will be loose so oh robably are only getting 90-95% of your throttle you can probably pick up a couple of tenths
The best part of the vid is that you proved that you can build an amazing track car for a very reasonable price and you beat an 86 with basically 3000 dollars good job guys
Germaine Liew a majority of parts are but you can get REAL bc.rscong coilovers, engine , greddy turbos you just need to be skeptical and not buy the first thing you see
Taking doors off would affect structural rigidity substantially. I think he should remove the pass seat instead. It is pretty much worthless since it's broken
Basically I found one clue missing... Did you re-map ECU after instaling full exhaust? Did you installed another high-flow air filter? If you did not re-map ECU the full exhaust is pointless. Afterthen, did you even try to set up suspension? I think on that stage you can be even faster if you will do proper suspension set up and ECU remap.
How did you choose the spring stiffness vs ride height vs sway bar stiffness? These parameters should be balanced well, otherwise the handling will suffer
Timur Iskhodzhanov exactly, they didnt go into detail on ANY actual suspension measurements, ride height reduction, rebound/compression adjustment, or even HOW to measure/tune any of it. lol all they did was slap them in and throw a shoe at it for comedic effect. it would be awesome if they actually went into detail on how to dial in the suspension instead of just throwing in "magic coilovers" that are gonna make the car perform better. and fix that body roll with some beefier/adjustable sway bars
Trang Kateloy naaah it's a blue Honda Civic type r gt that's 10 months old and not road tax'd since march so I'm guessing it's off the road? Otherwise if it's reported the owner which I do hope is not you KRONICAL ARTIE, and I mean that, has to pay a large fine and risks having it confiscated. What's the deal with the car?
I find it weird that the US and Europe get different versions of the same cars (Can't really complain as we do usually get the better end of the deal) but it does seem unfair and unnecessary.

You started it of 99p right? Well I just looked and the winning bid was £4800!
Poo or face
Honestly guys, 2 seconds faster on such a short track is quite an achievement if you think how much money you used! Great video as always!
well every millisecond matters
A smaller sized shirt for more weight reduction great idea ;D

Alex Bwavert same
Well you've got a long weight, he's stretching this like a Streatch Armstrong.
The fact that when Alex started the engine, the captions said "[Music]" is just on point.
Gheez lol
XD
I love these build and test videos! Car throttle, please make more series like these!
OK!
Justas Lileikis o
Agree, this is really interesting to follow!
I feel like an idiot after spending 40,000$ on my IS 200 build now. Awesome series. Keep pumping these out!!!
It’s ok it’s how you was born
We need more cars for this series! huge potensial for this series to blow up big on youtube, by far one of the best things to happen to Car Throttle!
As a owner of a IS200. You can easily shave a another second if you replace the bushings with polyurethane and get stiffer swaybars.
Do it :D
Is it is300 or 200
@@christopherdiaz9546 The UK got the 200, North America got the 300. The one time North America finally got something cooler.
@@Zephyr8086 false, the UK got both but the is300 in automatic only (and for about 2k more i think it was).
@@Zephyr8086 what the difference??
continue this series until the lexus is racing in gt3 spec races lmao
zuber1995 a project car is never truly ever finished
zuber1995 THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
That Lexus sounds insanely good. Like WOW
Jamie Lawrence God bless inline 6 for that
I know, IS300 is, this is 1G if im correct
Come to donegal their ar heaps of them with good exhausts
waited for this episode sooo much
Roma M me to!😃
Hope it was worth it!
It definitely was !!
My favourite part was when you tested out the new exhaust. It sounds so good! I love it!
The Lexus sounds amazing now. Transformed!
My favorite part of the video is Alex's Hitler mustache...
lmao I know ryt
and the best time was a 39.45s
Ceazar Carr same
Removing the stock exhaust is my favorite bit. It's always fun to compare the aftermarket one with the original because it's so much lighter.
the track was my favourite part.
exhaust sounds amazing
I loved the "just the tip" quote!!
My favorite part was when I won that manifold piece.
Tom Manion This guy deserves it.
Tom Manion Literally was going to comment this exact same thing til I saw your comment 😂
Do it justice and put it on a chain and wear it as a bracelet or a necklace!
Tom Manion you deserve it dude nice👍🏻👌🏻
You are all too kind XD I'd keep it next to my memories of Phil :(
Plus points for mentioning the prices of the parts used, it's always nice to know how much it would cost if you were to do something similar yourself =D
Best part of the video was the shoe test, I love to see references to other car show ^-^
(Where was the exhaust fist test though?)
That Mighty Car Mods refference was the best!

my favorite part is the Mustache.

Yes please!
Oh yes I would love to see that. I have a 190E 2.0 and I would love to make it a bit faster for a small amount of money :D
at 4:20 close your eyes
XD
ohZyki Aw hell naa
+ohZyki i think that calls for a "that's what she said!" HA HA HA!
"That's pretty heavy mate!"
"Oh glory"
Been waiting all week for this!
You guys should take it to the Nurburgring Nordschleife for the last episode !
Its a Project Car its never finished
thats how they killed Phil :(
hugo schombourger exactly my thought! but I would recommend adding a roll bar :D
it needs more power, you should put on some JDM stickers. they add like 30hp to the car!
ZivoxGaming lol
ZivoxGaming and red brake caliper paint for +25 hp.
ZivoxGaming and add fireballs! They add 100 hp EACH!
ZivoxGaming And don't forget that wing 😁
ZivoxGaming remember your car won't be flipping or flopping.
This is definitely the best video out of all 3 so far. Keep it going!!
this series is so great! please make something like this again!
Don't you just love the sound of a 6cyl with a proper exhaust... ;) #Bronzilla
RACE ME BRO!
*cought *exige 380 *cought
Adnan Ebrahim I've got an e46 2.2ci.. I'd love it to sound like that but I dunno if it's possible, it's so quiet now it's hard to imagine
Ethan's face when Alex does the final lap lol!!!
9:07 to 9:15 is amazing... Your reaction is epic! As well as the results of your hard work!
Remove the radiator, weight reduction. You'll get a faster lap.(Only a single lap, but worth it)
in that case also remove water bottle , oil rad, air filter box altogether, rear muffler.. hell remove even alternator.. that battery will power up for a lap no issues :D
U do realise it was a joke, and a reference to girls vs car girls? Lol funny either way
I knew it was a joke.. dont renember from where but clearly a joke.. and found funny to keep removing stuff from the engine for one lap
Daigo Saito JZX100 don´t use intercooler
My favorite part was when you start the engine with new exahust. ;)
The shoe test was the best part
Congrats man! this Series made me smile!
My favourite part is Alex's dirt mustache at 5:00.
close your eyes at 1:34

Ratchets or spanners
Keep it up with this series, id love to see this go on further... Maybe even do a 3SGTE swap into it ;-) not a 2JZ.. everyone has seen that.
Really am loving this series!
Jappi Mann track day car project into proper racing car project? Please CT make it happen!!
The best part is when they teased the Civic Type R as the next challenger.
those Lexus have an amazing chassis it's definitely possible.... although they would need a turbo or an engine swap to increase power
dont need to add boost or engine swap to gain power, the is200 has vvti, and with what he has done with the addition of an induction kit and a standalone ecu, a proper dyno tune. it would be a big improvement. i have an is200, and the only thing that really kills the power is the ecu. toyota designed it to be unmappable. even if you get it remapped, it rewrites itself back to factory settings after about 2 weeks of avg driving.
+Jamie Simpson well thanks for clearing that out😀 it definitely should have more power than it has it should be capable of at least 200hp to the crank
Jamie Simpson hmmm, that's interesting
Doubt he would get 15bhp with all the mods. n/a engines cost a lot to make any sort of power. Turbo is a much cheaper option. But I see a lot of these cars with Supercharger kits. I think you could buy them with one fitted as standard from japan or a special edition.

Glad to see someone finding the love for the is200. Car has so much potential
Adam McCartney who doesn't love it? I'm a muscle guy but I love me a is200 car is just so wicked
It's been such an underrated car for so long. Over where I am in Northern Ireland they're starting to become stupidly popular
Why would you remove the door seals???? Now waters going to leak in and you saved what? like .15kgs?
Pablo Picaso it even ruined the car..
Pablo Picaso why would he take it to the track when it's wet though?
Tyler Vincent I imagine that renting a garage in the UK isn't exactly cheap so I would think that it would be sitting outside at some point and it is England so it will be raining.

@@109number9 lol
My favorite part is every time you were on screen ❤️❤️
Alex's Collection lol sure, why not
my favourite part is when you started it up and it sounded amazing
favorite part of the video 2:04 !!!! I am amazed :D Schwarzenegger 2.0
My favorite part video would be this one. I have always liked how you just cut to the chase!
Every second was my favourite btw how's Phil and the v6
9:19 I like that biceps flex
My favourite part was Alex on his tip toes working on the suspension
It's August of 2K18, and I still come back to this video because the exhaust sounds that good. Hope the new BMW track build series is just as good if not better!
My favourite part of the video was a "fist test" which did not happen :(
as it is an older car your throttle cable will be loose so oh robably are only getting 90-95% of your throttle you can probably pick up a couple of tenths
they have crap simi electronic throttle,
I love the Ebay screen shots. I love ebay You can find anything there
Nathan Hutchins Like your mother?
Sirion Was there really a need for that?
Yes, there is always the need for your mom jokes.
What if it turns out that his mom is dead?I would never use mom jokes on the person that I dont know.
Mom jokes, dont worry boy, I also used those when I was 12. Just the Usual.
The best part of the vid is that you proved that you can build an amazing track car for a very reasonable price and you beat an 86 with basically 3000 dollars good job guys

Episode 17: installing cheap hyperjets I found off EBAY FOR £239.92
I really liked how you guys enjoyed the new coilovers as it was setteling.
My favourite part is when Alex does his victory dance
the best part was the shoe test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my favorite part are Alex's massive biceps.
Love the engine noise. It sounds primal. 🤘🤘🤘
The new exhaust sound was my favourite part of the video ;)
Hi my favorite part was the car being too high up for Alex to work on :P
Hb
*hugs*
favorite moment at 4:21..... Listen to that sound :D 😂
favorite part was installing the coils because im gonna he doing that soon on my is300 and it helps to get an idea how easy it is
i wish the lap times were measured more accurately
that victory dance though..
The shoe test 😂
Love the series. Keep up the good work. Resist the telly contracts.....i like your programs here ;)
I like how you can buy legit parts off of eBay
Germaine Liew a majority of parts are but you can get REAL bc.rscong coilovers, engine , greddy turbos you just need to be skeptical and not buy the first thing you see
take the doors, bonnet, boot, bumpers and all the lights out
see how fast it will go
Take the engine out, it adds so much unnecessary weight
LOUI J aerodynamic problem
LOUI J remove the bumpers are better
Taking doors off would affect structural rigidity substantially. I think he should remove the pass seat instead. It is pretty much worthless since it's broken
Doors aren't structural in a car the strength is all in the body and subframes.
Basically I found one clue missing... Did you re-map ECU after instaling full exhaust? Did you installed another high-flow air filter? If you did not re-map ECU the full exhaust is pointless. Afterthen, did you even try to set up suspension? I think on that stage you can be even faster if you will do proper suspension set up and ECU remap.
Cant remap these ecus, it will only revert itself back to stock.
I’m loving all your current content, but I sure do miss this kind of stuff!
How did you choose the spring stiffness vs ride height vs sway bar stiffness? These parameters should be balanced well, otherwise the handling will suffer

Did Anyone Else Wish He Did More Laps To Listen To That Sound?!
Next episode I promise more sound!
the next challenger will be a honda civic type R with the number plate of RJ16 XLX
Replace the NA RWD 86 with a turbo FWD Type R. So similar right?

It is teased as the next challenger
I'm surprised you got to this point adding to the performance and not sort out the breaks. Great videos love this channel!
for the next video you will nead a turbo and brakes
Dis car needs to be in F&F9

ErykZ I think it will be the first Thing to be blown up :,)

Loved the cheeky bicep tensing
Imagine if Alex swapped his MX-5 already for the next video...
Love this "upgrade performance" videos :)
My favorite part was the the end. About a month after when you tell me I win!!!
Great video! Best part I liked is the exhaust. That Lexus sounds mean bro.
it's a shame you don't get the IS300 that the States got with the VVT 2jz
I find it weird that the US and Europe get different versions of the same cars (Can't really complain as we do usually get the better end of the deal) but it does seem unfair and unnecessary.
mysalival100 Who is "we"? America or Europe?
Burly Heads The UK had the is300's aswell, Just less common than the 200's.
Let's do a shoe test *throws shoe at car*
MCM reference =D
please add a turbo to it
They already bought a new exhaust manifold, so that probably won't happen, but that would be amazing.
turk-varmi he could go supercharger.
turbo is better tho
These cars are soooo EZ to put a 2jz in, I say do that!
The engine starting with the new exhaust sound ! Best part ! Maybe with the announcement of the last lap time... :D
Turbo it
New Brakes?
He wants to go fast, brakes only slow you down.
carbon ceramics
me
You are joking right ?
Better brakes will lead to a much later braking point, meaning you can go fast for a longer distance....
Pause exactly at 4:55 and look at his face.
bruh
Bernard Montgomery look a like xD
I loled
legit looks strangely like Hitler XD
My favorite part was hearing it fire up. Such a great noise!
im early let me think of an (overused) joke

Make up your damn mind u bloody knobhead
damn
It's a damn nice RX-7 though, i saw the article on speedhunters about that car and it is the cleanest built RX-7 i've ever seen
S2000 squad mustangs are only good for making noise and running over people cause you lose control lmao
I cant. I'm torn between twin turbo and NA
My favorite part is when you removed all fluids for weight reduction.
