Love the old silver star wheel. The black wheel makes it look like it’s been built in the backyard and lowered by cut the coil springs

Honestly, this is my favorite Speed build

ISF would be an amazing series! The noises the 5 liter V8 make are just glorious!!!

Hey guys, speaking of superchargers, I bought your supercharger and header from the FRS. I finally got the car tuned by Touge and it's awesome. I'm sure I'll see you at TMP eventually!

Regarding the inner tire wear- I have a 2nd gen IS that has the same suspension design. The LCA rear bushing is a HUGE rubber piece that offers a ton of compliance. I replaced it with a poly bushing and the wear went away. The change in NVH wasn't perceptible either.

i started watching this series when i didn’t have a ls430 and now watching this i have a bagged one love this series soooo much

God I love this thing. A livable everyday dream car.

Finally intercooled my 400 and the difference is noticeable, but the piece of mind is priceless. I found a nice heat exchanger that will fit behind the lower grille as well, which would help your LS keep that awesome OEM+ look. Looking forward to seeing more updates. 👍

I don't even understand why I love this project so much. It makes my Mercedes fan boyness seem so silly

Would love to see some 2URGSE action here. I'm a GSF owner here and would highly recommend the GSF as it fit the criteria for replacement. Looking forward to what you guys have in store! Keep them coming!

The rear bushings on the front lower control arms are very compliant on Lexus cars. The toe is always changing when braking and cornering causing inner edge tire wear. This is a very common issue on those cars. Check out Figs suspension or RR racing to get a stiffer option.

I love this car! I’d really like to see a series on a slightly newer LS 460; keep the LS going! Or maybe a diesel 3 series 🤔

My 2004 is the best car I've owned in my 58 years. It'll probably be the last car I own as well. It's stock with the sport suspension and I love it just the way it is. I can't even imagine the need to supercharge it. And I would definitely never lower it.

Love the Flexus, that series is why I subscribed because I own a 2002 LS430 and I wanted to learn more about the car. Great car and a great build.

Absolutely LOVE the Flexus...would be cool to add a F Sport badge in front of the Lexus badge on the rear "FLexus"

Absolutely one of my favorite builds on this channel, the custom wheels are so perfect for that car, huge thumbs up 👍

This is a wonderful series and it never gets old. The LS430 secret is out, best bang for your buck. Guaranteed!

Always happy to see the Flexus back on screen!

Such a classic build it’s my favourite out of all the ones you guys have done! Gotta love that Toyota reliability!

the 2005-2006 e320 cdi which has a 3.2L turbo diesel inline 6 is a great option to look into. I get 30 mpg city & 40+ highway and It's still impressively quick. Keep up the great work guys, and God bless.

Go for the ISF! Elate is releasing a supercharger kit for the 2ur and it would be awesome to see you guys do that build!!!

Man that thing is fire. I have an 03 LS and would love to have it tricked out like yours. Great work guys!

This is the kind of build I love. Sleeper, and reliable.

I've recently acquired two Older Toyos, okay a Toyo and Lexus... and I'm pumping Valvoline in them... noticed your t-shirt at the beginning. kudos!!! I've done my own wrenching for 40 years and I've run Mobile and I've ran them all, even Royal Purple.... I've never settled for convenience store or even Walmart brand.... although I do think it would suffice.... best advice is check your oil and change every year minimal or 75% of recommended use..... I've actually rebuilt a motor and it compromised early in my opinion due to oil issue! I didn't put enough cross hatch on a freshly bored straight six.... The way a motor works is the cylinder walls retain oil splashed up and pushed out under the rings which restricts friction due to up and down movement via cylinder detonation! As a result the oil is exposed to carbon and heat! sometimes extreme.... so many people miss this!! If your doing aftermarket additives?? To prevent excessive wear?? Make sure the engine is actually broke in.... I bought a first year Tacoma (new) and at 25K I decide to treat it with Slick50.... and I owned that truck for 3-4 years and it felt like the engine never broke in properly! I sold that truck almost 3 decades ago and I'm sure it's still on the road and still has that noisy engine.... My Uncle who drove Semi's swore by slick50 and I don't think it is sold anymore... probably relabeled? (break the engine in is my advice!!! when it hits the butter stage then hit it with the additives! ) So currently I own a first gen Tundra with 227,000 miles and runs like an absolute champ! I've owned F-150s and numerous small Toyo trucks and this 1st Gen is my absolute favorite of all time!! Not a small truck or big truck and has a killer engine!! This was a 1 owner before I bought it and has zero rust on frame (common problem and only) motor built in Japan '02.... These 4.7L have ran for 1 million miles! and Transmission usually last to 6-700K or more.... most people neglect the transmission.... so if taken care of they run just as long!! And I own a 2011 built in Japan Lexus ES350 with low mileage.... Just did the spark plugs this week and seemed to be the first.... but I will run full synthetic Vavoline 5-30 in it the duration of its life also.... (in my opinion Valvoline gives the best protection/value) so they say older engines require thicker viscosity for seal protection but that is faulty! Oil should be viscous to lubricate all internal parts of the engine!!! so change the oil more frequently!! and also change out seals if necessary! And newer oil actually hydrates the seals... so win win!!! Change oil because it's Cheaper than a new motor!! The lighter oils was proven by a lab at Mobile 1 to lubricate better... it was undeniable!! so if your cap say's 5-30? then run 5-30 - guy at a parts counter told me to run 10-30 in my Tundra and he was at the Toyota dealership... and he steered me clear of maintenance parts I didn't need for a job! (genuine knowledgeable honest individual) The community is so misinformed it's not funny!! So keep it the same and change it.... end of story!! Oh if you have a turbo?? it shortens the life of lubricants.... an oil change if you do it your self is cheaper than a tank of gas.... lol food for thought!!! I recently sold a 2020 hybrid Limited Avalon because I didn't like the way the car was aging... bought it with 5K with cash and ran it hard for 52k in 2.5 years and the 4 cyclinder Toyota just didn't feel like I wanted (noise was what I expected at 100k-120k).... local dealership paid me way more than I was expecting and I bought the 2 previous cars mention with 5k left over for my wallet. I don't think the newer Toyos are all that of yesteryear... sadly... such a remarkable company. I plan to cash out some stocks soon and do this exact build on a 04 LS430.... I might buy a second LS430 to keep original just because it's the best car ever manufactured!! When these came out the CEO of Ford owned one and said their company didn't have the potential to build this car, and also said it was the best car ever made!! They didn't have the know how nor the machinery.... Lexus pumped a billion dollars into their luxury heritage..... I guess it was the pursuit of perfection... lol

RCF owner here. Bring on the 5.0 content! I hand no idea there was an adapter plate for our engines. You’d be the first ever to have a roots or screw type Supercharger! Everyone always uses RR racing Rotrex.

Black wheels look so much better on this car!!! Love it

I think this is one of your most interesting videos period. Also really excited about Conie though.

Volvo S80 V8 AWD. The Yamaha 4.4 sounds awesome.

I love it.. I've always wanted an LS.. A bomb proof Japanese masterpiece. Enjoyed the video!

Totally forgot about the mandatory captain’s hat when you drive car! Always a pleasure to see the Flexus!

Still love this car, so clean and I still feel I need to make my own as Dave is not selling it.

IS-F is no bueno if you’re carrying kids, even more so if they’re still riding in car seats. The rear cabin of the 2nd gen Lexus IS is tiny!

Watching this video makes me miss mine so much, mine was black as well, only thing broke was the a/c vents stopped doing the wave feature. Named her Lexi

Best car I’ve ever owned. Just sold my 440i and getting another LS 430. I’m go with the Harrop SC as well. Thank you!

Not gonna lie I ran into you build series awhile bacc, ran into the chance to picc up an 06’ got it cuz you guys reminded me of how reliable LS430s are

ISF!!!! Yes😊. I have a 2011, can’t wait to see how you guys modify it!

Get a ISF!! I just picked up a 2010 Blue ISF a few weeks ago and super happy I did!!

I had bad inner wear on my 430 for 2 sets of front tires and assumed it was just a bit more camber on the stock alignment but after replacing the lower control arm rear bushing it took care of all the toe instability and odd wear

I'd definitely watch some ISF content! Very underrated sports sedan.

I’ve always wanted an ISF! They’re so cool!

Awesome car and video love it man

An OE+ Toyota Century would be nice! Great video guys!

got that atoto s8 ultra in my ls430 a couple weeks ago ... f*KN LOVE IT

Pontiac G8, but with air suspension, wide tires with lots of sidewall, and Chevy SS mufflers for a nice bark without being too loud.

Those wheels are fire I say that every time I see them

My favorite car you guys have built without a doubt. Such a beauty.

lovely ride

Love the Ls430 , I have a 1999 ls400 my self and just thus past two months have updated the Overall suspension all sourced from our friend varun

Love the LS with the stock wheels

ISF owner here and not the quickest car but sounds great and drives great. 5L V8 A lot of ppl do not know about the F. love it

I appreciate Dave wearing his Yachting hat while driving the Flexus.

You guy inspired me to buy and ls430!!!! And I want to do the same thing to mine!!!!

This is a build that I have considered doing for some time now. As an aging Lexus / Toyota nerd I'm growing out of the smaller tight suspension sports cars and would love a highway cruiser. Great looking LS430 you've built! Now the hunt begins for one on the Canadian prairie.

Super cool build. I’d love to S/C my 430

Definitely do an isF series!!!! That would be great!

Y'all need the Megan Racing Toe Camber Kit. Works like a charm.

What a gem of a car. Very impressed with the LS430. With the ford supercharger. 🤩👍🏼

IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS UPDATE GAHDAMN

Love this build sooo much. Replacement wise 3rd gen GS460 or 4th gen GSF both of which could be supercharged.

Those wheels are so sick

I would raise that by half an inch. It looks a little funky that low, but just to improve the ride! It's a Lexus that should ride like a dream.

I just picked up an isf, awesome car i think elate has a tvs2300 blower in the works too!

i want to do this to my honda accord coupe with a k24z3 i just gotta male this money, that lexus is truly a beauty

id definitely do those 4 spoke wheels in black. they would look cooler that way. (and im usually not a fan of black wheels but the car murdered out looks sick)

Love the LS. I would look at a 2016+ GSF, that way you have more space than the ISF. But you still get the glorious 5.0L V8

ISF with supercharger to make the BMWs cry would be a perfect choice or replace the Flexus with a really big boat like a Dodge Charger.

I was just wondering about the Flexus this week.

My 01 UL430 is the most reliable car I’ve ever had. 205k miles!

Man I wish I had that beast

I miss my 2011 ISF! Actually looking to get another one. You guys would looooveeee the F!!! If you do get one make sure it's atleast a 2010

hahaha best part of this is that I powder coated those OEM wheels grey hammer-tone. Still cool to see your old car on a build series though !!

The stock wheels need a better refinish. It looks spray painted…

Great episode guys. Auto family cruiser = B6 VW Passat R36. The ulimate family wagon (except RS4, RS6 and some AMG cars obviously)!

Definitely an ISF…especially now that Elate is coming out with a supercharger kit.

Looks way better on the stock wheels murdered out !!!!!!

I think the OEM wheels might look better with black lugs - still looks gorgeous ❤

DP was so cool about the RV scrape. Years ago I parked my humble GTI next a new looking expensive trim variant of a pick up truck thinking the owner would be in that next that "precious" mode with their vehicle. End of the day I found a paint chip in my front fender with paint transfer......a first world issue for sure but cars are so expensive just do not understand folks do not after their vehicles.

Your average fuel economy in the LS430 seems very similar to my 2011 IS350 F-sport! That's good going for a supercharged V8

Would love to see an ISF on the channel! Just very hard to come by for a decent price especially here in Ontario unfortunately.

whats your 0-60 approximately? curious to see what kind of times you're getting with the supercharger and ECU tune

I would love to hear your take on a Gs350 from around 2013

Nice job! Can this SC built be adapted to the LS460?

I think the tire wear issue is same with other Lexus rear drive sedan or coupe ie: GS, RC and IS, so it needs a Polyurethane Front Lower Control Arm Rear bushing, Figs Engineering or RR Racing have it, or you can try and see if RCF or GSF one will fit cuz the F model have stiffer rubber, changing that bushing also helps with steering feel..

If your thinking an ISF for dad duties, I'll tell ya. That back seat is small, especially coming from an LS. My 13 year old detests when she has to fold herself into the back seat lol. My wife has to have her knees in the dashboard to give her enough space. It would be sweet to see you guys do another Lexus build though!

I feel late to the party about this, but seeing Speed Academy decals in NFS Unbound has made my day 😭😂

As an original LS430 owner I hate seeing them modified… except this one!

I love this car & this build it was AWESOME! I wouldn't replace that gem of a car if anything I'd keep it & yes that IS-F would be nice but how about a IS 300?

You guy should definitely put a taller rear in this car. I bet it would be a blast to drive

Pinnacle of the "I sell drugs you can't afford" look. Chef kiss

my T-bird isn't a 4 door but the Mercury cougar marauder is a close one, $23'000 is normal after basic service work for a 20-30 year old car. 4 cylinder cars commonly get crushed at that age because the motor is mile'd up to far. "actual truck parts in the small car made for pulling 10'000 pounds on top of the trucks curb weight".

Would love to see you upgrade to the intercooler adapter plate

IsF is a great replacement . This car is so sweet though

You would love an ISF! 🔥

Do you need a cooler for the supercharger ? How was it in hot summer and long drives.

Ask any LS430 owner and they’ll tell you the same thing; NOTHING drives like an LS430. Lexus; the endless pursuit of perfection.

Murdered out look is nice

PLEASE go for the 2011+ IS-Fs!!! You’d have much more potential than the first gen ‘08 I’d feel like. Revisioned suspension/handling & better looking with the LSD. I really hope you guys get a 2011+

Since you use the valvoline extended protection what oil filter do you use?

Hi, You keep mentioning how great the Continental extreme contact tires are. But, they seem to be only avaiable in the US. Where are you getting these tires? (I live just down the road from you by the way)

I think you’ll regurt selling it but I get the project life cycle. I personally would go for less grip, taller tires, street bomber that you can rip on all season. Different is good!
