Some trivia about the ISF (I love the car). The first iteration of ISF (pre 2009) had very stiff dampers because they tested the car on the Nurburgring. It also did not come with an LSD. People did not like the stiff suspension, so Lexus eased it up a bit on the facelift model, which came at the end of 2008, beginning of 2009. They also added true LSD in the back. Regarding the gearbox, it's a marvel of a torque converter box. As some people had noted, it locks the converter for faster shifts and it was the fastest shifting converter box on the market at the time. It also utilized something similar to what DSG does when it prepares the next gear, in this case - it pre-pressurizes the next clutch pack. As it's and older technology, sometimes the car can get confused if it's either down or up you want to go (in varying loads or partial throttle, especially). As for the sound - Yamaha designed the cylinder heads and the intake. The engine has variable length runners as well as secondary air intake which opens up at about 3.5-4k RPM to give you even a meatier sound. As with most of sports cars Lexus have done, it was a niche product and went unappreciated when it came out. They are expensive as hell now :) Thanks for the ride guys!

They developed a twin turbo 4.0L v8 for the racing version of the LC 500 and Lexus said they were pleased with the sales of the new IS so far. 🤞 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msukoLGQ3sjIk6c.html

I am kinda out of touch with car mods nowadays but I'd *never* heard of Endless until a few months ago on this channel. Now it seems almost every car you feature has them! Good luck to them, they certainly have good comments by you and the owners.

@izzieb Жыл бұрын

Endless is a well known Japanese brake company, they've been around since 1986 and have worked with multiple well known racing teams (including the Honda BAR F1 team).

I run endless mx72 pads on my track car honda ep3 they last a long time & dont damage rotors. They are not harsh but have good bite & no fade.

@99Lezard99 Жыл бұрын

endless brakes are kind of the go to brand for track people when they just want the Performance and the longevity. they are a pretty penny tho. but considering they usualy last way longer its worth it

@theo9436 Жыл бұрын

Compared to Hawk, PFC, EBC and Ferodo DS that I've run on track the Endless were just unbelievable. They really are "endless"!

I had a G35 that I bought at 188k miles as a drift/beater car. Ended up becoming my daily drifter, touching redline everyday all day. Sold that car at 247k miles still running just as good as when I bought it. (Only thing I had to change was valve cover gasket and a new diff)
