Personal best lap in my 2012 ISF around VIR with NASA Mid Atlantic - March 18 / 19, 2023
I’ve been wanting to update the channel for a while now. I spent this past weekend at VIR with NASA Mid Atlantic for their season opener. The car was a blast and this was my first time in HPDE3. I was able to give my wife, sister-in-law, her boyfriend, and my dad all rides around VIR and it was a totally fun experience for me. I have more videos coming but I thought I would upload the short clip. This is my fastest lap of the weekend. Enjoy!

I didn’t film nearly enough while down at VIR with the rebuilt ISF, but it did fantastic! Luckily a guy with a RCF was able to get this chase footage of me in the last session of the weekend.
Repairing my 2012 ISF coolant valley plate leak.
Переглядів 12 тис.2 роки тому
In this video I remove and reseal a popular leak on the Lexus ISF and LS460 engines, the engine valley plate. This job was killer on my back but it definitely needed to be done. The sealant I am using is “Permatex The Right Stuff Black Gasket Maker”. I have lots of experience with this stuff and I think it is much better than Toyota’s FIPG. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

In this video I finish building the rear end of the car and finally get it to a drivable state. I have driven the ISF approximately 1,000 miles since I filmed this and it is fantastic!! I have some loose ends to tie up and some aftermarket parts to install. More videos to come!

Rebuilding my 2012 ISF - Part 9 - FINALLY back from paint
Переглядів 7592 роки тому
In this video I finally get my car back from paint. At the time this video was posted I was still waiting on a few parts to still be painted, but I have enough to get started on the reassembly. Today I mostly focus on installing the passenger rocker molding and building the passenger front door. Thanks for watching!
Rebuilding my 2012 ISF - Part 8 - Powder coated calipers and prepping the car for paint!
Переглядів 1 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I go over getting the car ready for paint and also show a little bit of the process of stripping down the calipers getting them powder coated and getting them rebuilt. The purple on the calipers was a little out of my zone but I think they turned out awesome! Thanks for watching!
Rebuilding my 2012 ISF - Part 7 - Fitting new body panels
Переглядів 8263 роки тому
In this video I finally mock up the right side fender, door, and hood. I had these components painted on the inside and on the jams so that when the vehicle gets painted the insides of the panels are already done. The fitment still needs some fine tuning, but overall I am pretty excited about the progress. Starting to look like a car!

In this video I gave my garage a much needed cleaning, and finished off the interior in my 2012 ISF. Having the interior completed makes the vehicle feel like it took a giant step forward. I cannot wait to be ripping on this thing once it is finished!

    TYVM for the video very very helpful, I;m just a regular weekend DYi'er . Got everything out and back in with a few or several broken injector TABS "just the tabs not injector itself" pretty much all the tabs! they were extra crunchy. I put a Dabb of rubber glue to prevent popping out, , is this something to worry about? when almost fully completed ... I FORGOT to put back the big black sponge that goes on top of the valley, is this sponge very important or cosmetic? atleast if I can see a leak comming for sure next time I'm dredding taking it all apart just for a sponge...uuuuuuurrggghh I'm stuck on stupid.... THANKS AGAIN!

    Had to laugh at the sealant all over the place after starting with a nice bead and clean hands because the bloody part is a bitch to get in place. Have been there many times on motorcycles and as recently as last week . At least the bikes are on a lift so no back problems.🤣

    Hey there, great work. I worked on transport truck engines for a couple of years... Just a tip for the o- rings, when o- rings are in coolant, I used dish soap instead of regular grease or petroleum jelly as these can get the o-ring to swell and deteriorate prematurely. Just my 2 cents.
