You guys did a great job with this beast

How much does this Lexus cost?

@@gsheverything_2716 appreciate that!

@@asnavto3680 The supercharger kit is 11k

ASN AVTO more than you can afford pal. Isf

Definitely. 1 Huge Level above it. Or a couple regular size notches depending how you look at it.

Disagree. The Chevy SS (Holden Commodore)is on par with the ISF in terms of build quality and engineering. The Holden Commodore was benchmarked against E39 BMW M5. Test drive one for a true comparison, that is if you can find one. In addition to modify the LS3 is definitely less expensive and a manual transmission available.

@@nkodo22 I live in Australia and have to disagree with you. They are a dime a dozen here and I have embarrassed several in my stock ISF. Modifying the LS3 is less expensive because it is no way near as refined as the 2UR engine. The 8 speed auto in the ISF is quicker shifting than the manual LS3 too obviously. The interior in the ISF is superior too.

@@gavinr9107 The LS3 engine is one of the best engines ever produced. There is a reason why the LS3 swap is extremely popular. It is reliable and cheap to modify. No one swaps the 2UR engine. The Toyota Altezza (Lexus ISF) is a dime a dozen in Japan, and they are not rare in the US. I will give you that the 8 speed is a great transmission, but there is no manual available and with a trans tune the Chevy SS comes alive. In addition, the Holden Commodore you guys get in Australia isn't fully loaded with amenities and has a slightly different interior than the Chevy SS we get here(Only options were a spare, sun roof and manual transmission. Everything else came standard). As for the interior of the ISF, the back seat is only there for appearance, and the tech is extremely dated. I would say it is a matter of opinion. I test drove both and ended up buying the Chevy SS due to the rarity (here in the US), low cost of modifying( I currently have headers and an LSA supercharger). You really can't go wrong with either, but in my estimation they are in the same league.

@@nkodo22 Yes all valid points. I love my ISF and you love your SS. They are both excellent cars. Nice to be able to discuss this with you in a mature fashion.

Ahead of it's time as far as being the 1st 8 speed and durable as hell. But other than that it doesn't upshift that fast and downshifting takes highschool semester's. I should know I have owned 3 for the past 4 years. Great enough had a lot is great attributes but also didn't do many other things well.

It’s laggy asf. A 2015 corolla paddles upshifts faster.

@@mperformance3502 stick with your Corolla then. If you drive cars like that then you don't drive ISF's trust me

@Romero Bryan First was introduced on Lexus LS 2006 year i don't know if it's the same though.

@@thegame123ize It is. I am sure they may have reprogrammed it a bit and just kept doing that as the years went on where now 2020 models have it and it has showed it's age.

yup planning on getting an is350 as my next all around car

good yes m3 is the real deal

living Free would take the ISF over the equivalent year {2011_2013} no question.

living Free 2012+ ISF ran the same times as the M3 around multiple tracks lol.

@@AliasProductions801 M3 is a much better car than the ISF. It came in manual (or auto) with a better, higher reving v8 (ignoring reliability). The chassis on the m3 is far far better than the IS chassis. The ISF did have significantly better brakes, but as a sports car, the m3 is by far the better driving vehicle. -This is coming from a 2nd gen IS350 owner

Thanks man I appreciate it

@@tortillachipmedia4616 yes sir. I hope if and when im able to get mine I can have it as clean well taken care of as you.

@@tortillachipmedia4616 I'm over here still rocking the 03 IS300. Stumbled upon this video because I am wanting to make the jump to an IS-F

Thanks man! The car was a lot of work and many hours of detailing I appreciate the compliment.

Nick Jarman You’re very welcome! I lost my 2011 back in 2017. I been dreaming of the day of getting it back ever since. I worry because I need to finance it, each day that passes it’s getting closer to impossible.

@@tortillachipmedia4616 do you have a Instagram I can follow?

@@jakeh900 I have a channel called Today We Wrench

Thank you

go grab one before be gone. I love my 08

Realy? The first luxury high performance sedan from japan? Sorry but the g35 when it broke ground in 03 was! It may have had less power but the critics raved over it! Also got car of the year award ! And was killing the germans and anything else at the time.it was such a huge at the time it practicaly saved Nissan! Yes it was slower than the isf compared to todays standards but what mattered the most was that it was well rounded! Performed exstremly well in brakeing, handeling 0to60 sorry but Toyota had nothing on the G back then!

Fred Williams excuse me ? The G35 ? LOL that was not a high performance sedan by any stretch of the imagination. Lexus is the true high performance luxury brand of japan. Period

Fred Williams the 2006 IS350 was the fastest car in it class so fast in fact it made bmw build the 335i sedan back in 2006.

@@Toyota4Life what? Lexus was? Lmao! Ok will how about the Nissan R32 And R34! You can keep quiet now! Nice try! 😂😂!😂

Which country are you from ? With those prices, maybe Russia ?

What hood do you buy your crack from? Of course it's depreciated. You can get those for 20K or even less, all day long.

SuperN0va No crack just Gin. Where I live there is many still at around 38,000$- 50,000$. Ok, maybe it was my mistake to say « they worth the same » its more like « dealers/private sellers sell them 15k more than they worth because they are extremely rare ». Must be fun having an ISF for 20k, but where I live its just not possible unless there is 200km and that the car is beat up.

@@LordPrometheous you dont see them that cheap unless your buying it off the street

@@youngboyygio7091 I've seen a few for around 20K on Car Gurus, of course with higher miles, but in the past few months it's gotten bad due to car supply shortages. Hell, State Farm appraised my IS 250 at 17K when it got totaled back in July and I only owed 9900. So at this point a 20K ISF is either salvage or has been wrecked. Corona has ruined the used car market, especially for sports car buyers. I remember when Porsche 996s with decent mileage were $13K to $15K. Now it's $30K all day.

Did you ever get one? I'm planning on getting an F very soon can't wait

@@loganmckinney1285 same. Would u maybe know where I can find a low mileage ISF with little to no upgrades/ stock? ISF is the total dream and the prices r great

I meant Zack. Please forgive me for my phone's auto correct lol.

Yes But your right it is bad### I love this car. My friend has one. and I'm going to get. one soon I hope

@@kennethrine8171 You can buy this one bro its for sale!

August 12th :)

Same engine and trans. The only reason the power is greater is because the Rev limiter on the ISF was 6600 and the rev limiter on the RCF is 7100. The engine makes good power up top and with the ISF's rev limiter turned to 7100 they would be nearly identical. Shifting is the exact same no faster and with the supercharger they have the same numbers. The ISF is significantly lighter and will pull on the RCF and GSF every day of the week. Not boasting just more or less saying Lexus screwed up with the weight on both the cars. They should have made them the same or lighter than the isf

@@tortillachipmedia4616 oh I agree she is fatty but I don't think this ISF has the suspension or the torque vectoring differential so maybe in a straight line but on the track not really sure. That being said if I'm dropping $35,000 I'd rather get a 2015 over a 2008. You are hard-pressed to find it an ISF under 40K miles and it can rev higher because it has a new top-end.

This one is for sale and probably the cleanest you will find if you can't tell from the video

Yupp it’s super clean I can tell, I’ll never buy a black car tho lol

not turbo

@Romero Bryan to each of their own. LFA is in supercar price range. And why should someone pay $400k for a Lexus, when they can buy Lambo or Ferrari. LC500 is alright to me if its the 5.0 liter V8. Just my opinion

@@carsandcribschannel7868 You obviously don't know much about the LFA if you think it isn't more special than a regular Lambo/Ferrari/McLaren

@@classicalindia1 hes talking about an affordable car. You could get a gt3rs or 720s for the price of an lfa

@@classicalindia1 it is a very special car but way too expensive. and something me and could never afford. so im going with ISF. lol

@@carsandcribschannel7868 how is lfa 400k? it cost 100k in Turkey and sweden i dont knwo about US doe? some countries have the car cheap. gt3rs is way more expensive in this country but i dont know about US. So it cost 400k in US or?

All of us is350 owners would. Its like the bigger sexier brother

As would I

For IS350 HP gain. Intake = 5 hp Exhaust = 10 hp RR Racing Tune = 20 hp PPE Header = 20 hp

LORD OF THE RiMS yes it is. So hard to find with good mileage smh. I’ll just hold on to my 350 and try to be happy lol

Tim so true. I’ve been waiting for 4 months for a 350 to pop up with decent mileage but no luck. Thinking about flying to another state for one haha

They do use the same oil filter....I get my filters from the Toyota dealer for $6

Much appreciated!!! Worked my butt off to make it that way, now im building a MKIV Supra

@@TodayWeWrench 🙏💯

11.4 in the quarter on pretty bad tires. It should be close to 11 flat

@@tortillachipmedia4616 Are you the car owner? I am really thinking of getting one of these kits but just the base kit because I have no E85 where I live, and Im just wondering if you think its worth it? Its so tempting

@@eedoamitay3341 You can't get the street kit if you have no e85. Get the full kit its about a 11k investment

@@tortillachipmedia4616 In the video it show you can make 565hp on pump gas, what does that mean? Sorry im just confused

@@eedoamitay3341 93 octane is pump

it has mechanical lsd

LSD came stock on 2010+

Usually paddle, not sure why I used the shifter in the pull

Shooting Cars because it feels like a sequential

Nah dude the engine alone is over 6k, ecu wiring is insanely hard. If you were to swap a Lexus I'd recommend doing an 06-12 is 250 with a blown engine and swapping for a 3uz 4.3 liter quad cam lexus engine from 01 ls430. Not easy but much easier than what you're suggesting

Better just to buy IS350, ISF or RCF

Thats awesome.

Velgen VMB5

Rickey Singh it looks like ferradas fr8

Not Velgen

Avant Garde m510

It honestly triggered me that he wasn't paddle shifting

Me to i thought I was the only one

im also in socal. did you ever find anyone?

Nope its for sale. I have two

Nick Jarman wow two rare F’s! So 2 makes one GSF now? Or what’s next?

Yeah a stock Supra sucks ass

What like in 1997 lol

19" Avant Garde m510 not sure bout the offset

There are too many variables without seeing the car to answer that. I bought a 2012 because of the revised headlights and LSD (2010+). The suspension on the earlier models was more harsh than the 2011's and newer, but if you plan on changing suspension that wont matter. Headlights, suspension can be changed and LSD can be added. It took me 2 years to find one, luckily I only had to fly to LA from the bay area. I found some in a few other states that sold in a few days or hours. I also own a 2010 IS350 and the ISF is better in every way. Club Lexus has comparisons between the ISF model years. Mine was about $38k a few years ago, Starfire pearl with red leather, the older ones can be found significantly cheaper. The money you save on the older ones can be put into mods that will make it feel and perform like the later MY's. It's kind of an oddity though, you get people that know about ISF's that will break their neck looking, but most think it's a lower model IS or even an F Sport which you'll find annoying or humorous...the absolute best feeling is pulling up to a mustang, camaro, or charger and smoking their asses on the freeway. With intake, headers, exhaust, tune you're looking at ~420 WHP or ~500HP at the crank. Depending on the supercharger you can get close to 800hp at the crank with FBO. It's a dope ass car you should get one.

They didnt have ventilated seats on the 2IS

Not even close it’s a 2UR 416 hp from the factory

@@Sessions1 are they reliable bc they overengineered tf out of the first gen 1uz well it was a race motor.

boobbutthole only issue they have is valley coolant plate leak which is a super easy fix. They are super strong pitons will hold about 780 whp

@@Sessions1 that's good to here a possible new candidate for my 88 300zx. NA vg30 isn't doing it for me.

1UZFE is very under stressed because it doesn't make much power in stock form. The 2URGSE in the ISF is a completely different beast
