15 minutes after smoothly driving at the recommended coolant temp may help. Yeah, it is good to wait another 15 minutes after the temp is at the desired temp before pushing the car a bit harder :D

I'm the stock civic. Lmfao. Buying one of these to mod up tho

@@nightshadeaudi civics have big tuning potential. But many 16yr olds buying civic and mod it JUST in exterior thinking that its fast.

@@nightshadeaudi and i love civics. My friend has EG hatch with built turbo b16a2 which SHOULD make 200hp and its 2 times faster than v6 lexus IS.

@@szybkiantek5632 that is true but my dad’s Camry could’ve keep up with a eg 😭

Well Lexus IS is more of a compact sedan so make sure you sit and try to find a comfortable position, also look for Lexus IS's without sunroof because sunroof it takes a bit of headroom. If you ask me I don't think you will be comfortable but without sunroof maybe. Again its something you have to try

@@VuckoHD thank you for the advice!

Better going to a Gs300 it will cost almost the same .

@@warmthboy Thank you for your help. I have considered the GS 300 but It just looked a bit too ugly for me... I have also considered searching for Honda Accord 2.4 VTEC from 2002-2007.

Bro you tallll

Previous owner did that so I don't know how exacly he connected it

not at all. The 3/4GR-FSE engine can handle that all day.

@@jamesaxelson917 I’m planning to do my first race with some homies, so I should leave it on 4th gear and it woudlnt do no harm? My Lexus GS 350 has 160k miles with 18.2 mpg average

I'm running spherical rod ends and coil-overs on my IS250's suspension, stock motor and automatic, I'd worry about trans temperature if anything, but an automatic at 160k (depending on how often fluid was changed) is going to be a little tired. Even staying in 4th gear, the torque converter is un-locked and is creating most of the heat in the transmission. I would monitor fluid temperature, extended periods over 220 degrees F is as much as id be comfortable with on a track.

@@senorbonbon a little late but do what you want. I redline my 250 and take it on back roads for 15 mins straight completely stock takes it like a champ

i hop on the on ramp at 2nd then feel the car up to 3-4k , then send it & shift myself

They’re kinda slow to be honest 😂 great reliability and fun cars tho. My Lexus IS is tuned and I get like 22 miles per gallon with the way I drive, but if I drive like a sane person it’ll be like 26 mpg

Nah fam I got one too and it’s just ecu programming likely to keep the trans from any possible damage. I do the same thing I use the paddles cause it doesn’t seem to hold the gears long enough even in sport and with ect

I found out it’s a gear limiter, not shifter- so if you put it on three at a light and hun it it will go to almost redline but once at third gear it won’t upshift

so ur telling me i can just throw it in sports mode put it on 6th gear and the car will automaticlly go up and down on gears? So Like if sports mode was just a button?

@@lsbrandon9312 yes

@@lsbrandon9312 so for my Lexus GS 350, sports mode & etc mode on 4th gear is the safest?

No its in kilometers, I converted its 160,000miles

I said in the video that just because for me 1500rpm is best, doesnt mean you guys should too, depends on temperature outside, quality of the road and tires. In my test the road was dusty so tires where more prone to slip hence why I did it at 1500rpm, tried 2500rpm but huge wheelspin.

@@VuckoHD This is not called launch control. It's called brake boosting, although it's not very effective on a NA car. The car will limit revs to 2500 rpm because that's the limits of your braking system before it loses friction and you start moving. As you have bigger brakes with more friction, the revs will go down. Also holding revs instead of letting go while the rpm are climbing like you did, will not give you any benefits at all, or at least very little. By holding the rpms, you allow the suspension to compress and give you a better launch. The reason why you're spinning at 2500rpm is because you probably don't let the car suspension settle, and you have probably crappy tires. I have 500 treadwear tires and I don't spin (even on dusty streets where half of it is sand) unless I do some stupid shit such as pulling a u-turn at full throttle.

@@TienTran-kw3il Where did I say I'm using 'Launch control'? I didn't mention that at all but just showed how to launch an automatic car at higher revs, not 'brake boosting' like you said. Also I get what you mean by holding the revs and then let go but my launch was done at such low rpm and cars suspenssion is tight enough that you can see my car launch wasn't unsettled...it hooked up

Why, it doesn’t need to build any boost on this system so you don’t have to wait any longer

@@mls.design some people prefer this method because they believe building boost and then full accelerating give you a better launch than only brake then release and accelerate

I still have it, plan to put a lip or a spoiler :) But wont do it soon though, still stay tuned I have a Lexus video coming these days

I know on the 3IS models 2014+ the reason for inner tire wear is due to the cheap material quality Toyota used for the Lower Control Arm bushings.

It’s true. As an is 250 owner I can confirm they have issues with excessive inner tire wear

Yes, they use a very soft front lower control arm bushing which is good for comfort but it does make the front tires wear hard. I've replaced the whole front end and partial rear end with spherical bearings for track use and it's not really a problem now, wouldn't recommend this for a daily though.

9L/100km is more realistic,i drive a IS250 myself,for 4 years now..

@@pkd19 thats actually not that bad for a 2.5 V6, nice :)

It should be possible to get even 8L/100km , but in reality , you're most likely gonna drive it hard and get 11-14L/100km. my average is 11 I believe.

Got this car recently and driving it normally with rare heave footing gives 8l/100km. I drive motorways mostly though

10-11 is nothing, i have one and with the way i drive it its 14.7

He's just brakes boosting, no real damages except brakes.

@@TienTran-kw3il Negative. brakes aren't harmed while doing this because it's just a hydraulic clamp. Unless you're doing a brake stand (ie Burnout) and you're spinning the back wheels while the brakes are applied, then yes it would damage the brakes. What this does is lock the wheels, all the slop from the drivetrain is tightened up and the regular old auto transmission starts slipping itself. All the tension is still inside the drivetrain putting pressure on everything. Don't get me wrong, I do this shit too, and it's not like it will break the car right away. But it's definitely not proper. Either buy a car that has a dedicated launch control or get a manual if you want to be launching you're family sedan all the time.

@@kurtispotts9097 yeah. Its very risky and not created for that

If you do it over and over and over and over again then yes but few times no

Lies...they hit 0-60mph in like 5.6 seconds.

Mr. Creed you can set it up.

Yeah it’s like a warning light you can set it from 0-100mph idk how many kph but there is a red light that comes on at 100 mph and I don’t believe you can adjust that one the orange one you adjust with the button on the left of steering column that says set and has two arrows pointing left and right

@@tutomenjivar18 wth I really never noticed the light like ever. Because when I barely got my car I hit 135 and that red light never came on :/

@@tutomenjivar18 but good looks I’m going to change the orange light

@@erichuerta4462 in the 250?😳

Yes, because the car won’t reduce power instantly when the tires slightly slip.

I've heard opposite. Spinning ain't winning

I'm on the fence with this also... either way I own a is 350 and I love it.

Depends on your tires and road conditions. Got decent tires that are heated in dry conditions? Dump the traction. Got worn out tires or wet conditions? Use traction

@@MrDerekRobinson yes, but litte spin means that you used all possible grip. To much spin is waste

Get is350

Sounds a bit like a 350z wich is pretty awesome ( i have an is250 )

Its 262k kilometers so around 162k miles but agree with you

Is not a some beach ahh German engineering.

Is350 is a beast of a car

NAAAAAAA really??

no shit one has a 2.5 and one has a 3.5 🤷🏽‍♂️ v6 obviously theres a difference in power duh

No shit sherlock

If you would have said the 200t was better I don’t think you would have gotten as much crap as you did lmao. I actually don’t recommend the 250 at all 🤣. There’s a reason they came out with the 200t anyway

No it’s not that’s not how this transmission works

The road is old and dusty, on better asphalt I managed to do 7.9s

Exactly my point in the video...I said in the video that just because for me 1500rpm is best, doesnt mean you guys should too, depends on temperature outside, quality of the road and tires.
