Love the is300 content. Owned my for 19 years and it still feels and looks new with 216k . not a daily anymore but a Fun weekend car that breaks necks everywhere I take it
Happy to see you've had a good ownership of the car!! They're really good!!
A true legendary car. I wish I had this. I have the follow up successor to this car. The 2IS made from 2006-2013. Mine is a 2008 IS250. Still a great car but the first gen seems to have more of a legendary status to it.
It's true the first gen are very nice! I also had a 2IS I did enjoy it quite a bit when I had it!👍
Beautiful car. Thanks for posting the mods!
No Problem! If you have any question about it just let me know!
Hey Bud, yes the is300’s are cool as hell. I personally want one you need to hurry up and get them because they are old but you can find hella parts for them I like the wide body ones I’m in Vegas but you don’t see them that much
Also here in the western part of the US, the 05’s are hard as hell to find
And 04’s
What a whoot!!!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks man! Appreciate the support! 🙌🏻😁
sick video bros

Im thinking about to buy one in around a year as my first car. But in good condition they are so expensive. There is only one for sale in my region right now, by the photos in very good condition but costs 12k Sfr. = 13k Usd. Around two months ago was another one for sale with the big thrunk for 3k Sfr. = 3.2k Usd. but so rusty.
And they are all automatic because if i remember right tey were never sold manual in Europe. I mean thats not bad but a manual would be cooler.
Its a nice car with a cool motor and has four doors. So it would be ideal. 🚗
They are great cars! Unfortunately like you said if you want one in good condition you have to pay lots of money for them! They did come manual in North America but they're even more difficult to find, hope you'll be able to find the car you want! 👍
Hey where did you get your front splitter from? I’d like to buy one but don’t know where to get one from.
Hey! The owner got it from ekb-plast.ru you can also contact them through instagram or they have an eBay store
Sounds soo good!
Right?! Them 2JZ haha
🏎 💨 👊
would this exhaust set up pass smog? (i live in cali)
I'm not sure what exactly the laws are in California to pass smog, but if it's only through the OBD reader it should past as it doesn't throw a code or anything as the second cat isn't monitored. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Does he still have ig
Yes he still does
@@DrivingProduction what is it
First
😂🤣
Exhaust and intake ?
It's an AEM Short Ram Intake, and for the exhaust this is the setup, Third Catalytic Converter Removed, Muffler Delete (2 and a half to 3 to 4 inch burn tip)
You do know the STOCK INTAKE IS DESIGNED AS A RAM AIR SYSTEM RIGHT, you'd had gottin more with the stock intake with a K&N filter. Aftermarket ram air are just pulling hot engine air, also I'd suggest the KONI STR.T STRUTS (ORANGES). But non the less be happy I live in CALIFORNIA and I can't do shit to it cause of emission laws.
I think my friend Billy (the owner) wanted more induction noise, over actual performance. But he does have the OEM Ram intake going into the short Ram intake
@@robsnizzle7 I totally agree with your statement. However I highly prefer the noise over the little performance benefit in my opinion. Adds to the enjoyment of driving 😉
Wow Bigdawstv cousin?
Sorry what?
@@DrivingProduction u kinda look like that digdawstv guy
Ah okay haha I see
more like a 4 door supra
True! With the 2JZ!
18" SR08, rubbing?
He's not rubbing but the rear fenders were rolled
Hey guys. I'm 15 and I'm already looking for a car asap. Is the is300 a good first car? If not, what are some good options for around 5k :) I love JDM and I want a manual. Thanks guys
Hey man! Congrats on looking to get your first car, that's very exciting! The IS300 is a great choice for a first car, there pretty solide cars, maybe something to know about them though is when they to break they're pretty expensive to fix and also they can be hard on gas if you have a long commute. Just something to keep in mind. For other choice, I'd say maybe 99-06 Celica GTS, RSX Type-S, 2nd gen Mazda Mx-5, not sure if you can get a 350z around 5k but could be a good option too! Let me know what you think! 👍🏻
@@DrivingProduction sweet man. Thanks alot for responding, really means alot
Let me know what you end up getting! 🙌🏻👍🏻
@@DrivingProduction For sure :)
An is300 is a good solid reliable vehicle.... after all it's a toyota I have the 05 automatic model (I swapped out the stock steering wheel for the 06 IS350 ONE to get paddle shifters and bluetooth) owned it for 3 years no hiccups, regular maintenance and she'll purrr like a kitten every time u turn her on..... super fun to drive (I recommend KONI STR.T STRUTS). This car has a capability of being highly modified or enjoy her as she is, as a fun track car.
