WHAT'S IN MY CAR?
I want to introduce my daily GS300 that I love to drive. Last year, I started to take it drifting, tracking, autoXing, and to car meets and shows. In this video, I share an overview of the aftermarket parts that I have installed myself. I plan to take you along my journey from installing new parts at home to future car events as I develop both my car and myself as a driver.

Dope video I have a gs300 myself could we get a video on how u installed the subwoofer and all the stuff we need to install it

Thanks! I can do that, but I’m not sure when I can get to it.

Great build man, I just need those upper control arms next! Curious on how you set up that tranny cooler too and how you wired the sensor of the fan to kick in at a certain temp

@GasAndWatts 28 күн бұрын

Stay tune, I’m switching fuca, vid coming soon! Atf can go either way on the cooler. There’s a thermoswitch that’s attached to the atf cooler line that is connected to ground and a relay. So the fan kicks on at 180f.

@romangaribay4296 Ай бұрын

Awesome build! Did you use a specific bracket for the handbrake or was it custom fabricated?

@GasAndWatts Ай бұрын

It was custom, let me know if you want to know anything specific or want suggestions.

@chrissikora8097 Ай бұрын

I'm in the process of getting front roll center adjusters, do you thing the RCA's make a major improvement?

@GasAndWatts Ай бұрын

Not major, but I would suggest on them if you’re lowering your car. Also, depending on your camber requirements, you should look into NRCA.

can you do a video of how to jack up a car high enough and properly support it to change out the transmission - looks like you were able to get it jacked up really high here

@GasAndWatts Ай бұрын

I swapping my transmission in the future and can include that. If you need to raise you car now, check the cars user manual for proper lift and support points. Will need to raise each side a little at a time then raise the jack stand. Lifting one side all at once can cause the car to fall.

Rolled fender isn't realy what i call "stock" but those big weels look awesome on it , i'm gonna probably need to calculate it myself on the car from OEM wheels to find , literaly can't find it on internet

@GasAndWatts 12 күн бұрын

I didn’t even think about that, thanks! What are you trying to find?

They muffler delete needs to be replaced with a cat back exhaust setup. Cheap and easy route would look for used cat backs and then take it to a shop to custom fab it up. I though my cat back was gonna fit but the resonator placement for an 03 GS must have been different than the older models because it did NOT bolt up. Though it said for Lexus GS300. So a shop had to delete my resonator and custom fab the pipe. All said and done I spent 800$ total for install and parts. No resonator actually sounds good on these cars unlike a G37.

@GasAndWatts Ай бұрын

Spoiler alert: will be adding turbo so will be adding complete custom exhaust

I bought the car for $3k and around $10k in maintenance and aftermarket parts over 4 years. I do all my labor so I saved a lot there.
