KZfaq getting too comfortable with 2 unskippable 15 second ads

Other than sticky dash, which is very minor, all of these are normal wear issues I would check when buying any used car. I wouldn't even call these known issues. Sure, I had to install new tie rods and control arms, but it was after 15 years and 200k miles of driving. Would have happened to any car. Yes, I too had to replace my harmonic balancer, it fragged at 250K. Was an ez fix. My stock trans has been flawless and continues to shift perfectly with over 300K on the clock. The Gen I IS300 with manual trans & a few simple aftermarket upgrades is a tremendous joy to drive. Even if you buy one with problems, just fix it and then enjoy it. Will be worth it in the long run.

Your channel has everything i like doing🤟🏽

Thank you very much. I'm planning on getting mine this month.

Bro holy shit I’ve been hearing about the harmonic balancer too. I appreciate this 100000000%!!!

Hey man. I just picked up a 02 factory 5spd. Ill need to check what you mention.

you're an absolute legend.

Dude it looks like you got a massive leak somehow coming from your intake manifold to the Y pipe! Did you seal it with gasket maker or something? Fluids don't obviously flow through there so it could be the Flux capacitor 🤖

about to go look at an is300 today so praying this video comes in clutch

👌🏽 thanks!

thanks bro bouta get my IS as my first car at 17

So I had to stop quickly and now the brake warning light trac cntrl and check engine light is on and it's running rough also the brakes barely work do you know what the problem could be

Wheel hub bearing goes out like all the time on the is300 first gen

Can all this be done at home tho? IS300 was always my dream car, took 2yrs of research and finally found a bone stock GGP '02 5MT w/LSD, with only 68k miles on it. That was in 2015 or so, and I just hit 120K miles on it and haven't done any single piece of maintenance besides oil changes.. I know, I know I'm horrible and this being my dream car. ANYWAYS the bushings thing is scaring me, need to look into that..

how do you fix the weird nosies behind ur dash problem?

My harmonic balancer flew off my 2002 manual is300. Separated from the crank pulley completely. Struggling currently to break the bolt.

the issue with the manual gearbox isnt a common problem i dont think ive never had that problem with my w58 in my supra and i beat the shit on it drifting a bunch it could just be you had contaminated fluids or worst case you had a worn synchro thats why it only stayed in with slow engagement

What's the beats in the beginning?

So no one gonna mention the yellow crocks he got in his foot😂😂😂

any recommendations of where i should look to buy an is300?

Harmonic balancer? Nah it's the spinny beyblade of death

does this apply for the altezza?

This is accurate lol

dont Ever i mean Ever buy from a young person! in the end of the day its a toyota if it has more then 80k mi have ready $2-4k to spend on bring back the vehicle since people dont do service when needed

What bout them yellow crocks though

Transmissions with a lot of miles better to just have the old fluid stay in there the grit basically keeps it alive lol
