Had two boys and bought two AE86, my oldest is approaching legal age to drive. Decided he didn’t want the corolla, bought a great running blue Is300 to swap for $265. Came home from school and asked who’s car is that? Well he got his first car,. And I still got my 85 and 86 GTS,. Win!
@@aliu_q60a26 depends do you want to do it yourself or get someone else to do it for you. If you're going the GTE route then engine will be insanely expensive itself plus the cost of everything else would add up quite a but plus the labour if you want to get someone to do it for you professionally. I'd say all up including labour and every thing would be close to around 30k - 35k total. Should probably only consider it if you're going to keep your car for a long time
Thats my excuse to my wife also. Told her I was buying a sport compact for my 17 year old son. I told her I would need to fix and change some parts out and do a couple of things to make it would run right....ahem fast. She's asking why is the exhaust so loud now. Then I told her the car "may be" too fast for my son, so I gave him my suv, and I end up with the fast car. Im 45 and Im smiling everyday to work and to pick up groceries runs.
You've clearly been doing this longer than most of these "1000hp" supra owners have been alive. You've explained more technical difficulties in 6 minutes than most could do with 100 videos. Thanks for sharing.
I'm taking my time building a 2jzge with individual throttle bodies and putting into my 1980 Corolla. I love your build man!!! Very inspiring for me to keep going on mine!!!
@@onyxlily3169 well I'm 32 in the U.S and finally getting around to building what I want. I have a lot dream ideas so starting with one will have to do.
I'm so happy you done this man. Most people just talk a big game. I can see the passion in your eyes and the feeling of accomplishing something you really love.
A gear head at heart. I can definitely relate to jumping in my car. Going for a drive with no particular destination in mind. Just enjoying the driving experience of the car.
People when you are young: Why do you need this car? Save your money for retirement. Also same people when you're older: why do you need this car? You're 50 years old.
Mind your own business. Nobody buys only what they need, they purchase things that they want as well to have something call FUN. Plus, plenty of people aren't broke and can comfortably afford to do builds like this without compromising their finances. Also, being 50 doesn't mean you can't have fun anymore, you'll be 50 one day too, should you stop enjoying your hobbies just because you're getting old? I respect this man for following his passion. Such a stupid comment...
@@sidebproductionsllc8353 Why do you need or do anything in life that you enjoy? Why not just waste your life making money to save up for the time when you're about to die anyways?
This is a great video. It’s awesome to see someone of that age going after an IS300 and doing a build like that. I would sometimes feel awkward because I have anIS300 and feel like I should have a more grown up car. But this makes it all go away. So I’ll get another car and keep the IS lol.
Cool dude! I'm an old boost fogey too and did the same with my 08 VW R32. Built up the engine in the kitchen since I don't have a garage. My wife is from another world lol! Forged internals a 6262pte turbo and 3 years later I'm running daily in a 400 plus AWHP AWD rocket rain sleet or snow. Absolutely the most fantastic car I've ever driven and well worth the investment 😉. Nothing like building your own dream car!
I respect u so much brotha. I'm a dad and I'm on the same boat. I got me a is300 same color and everything. Soon ill be doing the same set up. Thank u for making this video. Story of my life. Hope to see u on the road. God bless
I graduated this year and the car I bought is a 2001 lexus is300 I love it I’m really looking forward to building it while I’m in college it’s a great car
i bought my dream car when i was 22 years old. a 2002 is300 with manual transmission. i put about 30k on the vehicle and realized i could no longer afford it. traded it in on an economical car and regret it. fast forward today. i'm 45 and still dream about that car. glad to see people are still enjoying them

@Kurt Lamprecht haha i laughed when i saw your comment. Im 30. Lol. I've come from the past to learn your ways and then go back to my timeline and teach my people about the future.
Welcome to the turbo IS300 game! Looking good and definitely enjoyable at 450 at the tires! Perfect sweet spot for these things between fast and terrifying/spinning!
I loved watching this. Your poor son, I just got my first one and a 5-speed this past summer and my son's only three and he was freaking out about it I can only imagine if he was 16 hahaha. Awesome video friend 👍
I also did a swap on my IS. Only regret is not getting a 2JZ like he did. I got a 1JZ vvti instead. Still lots of fun. But at the time it wasn’t much more expensive. Darn drift tax!
New to the channel and this is the first vid of your's I've seen. Nice job. If I may add a comment...Not sure if you did it on purpose but showing your boy is fine in my books as he is old enough to make his own decisions as to whether to be on UA-cam and not showing your young daughter is the way to go in my books.
I am a little older than you, but i have always loved cars. I have a 1G Eagle Talon awd and a rare 2001 Subaru impreza coupe. All of my cars are manual. Its about enjoying life. Get the most out of life, no matter what age you are. I do. One day, you may not be abe to do what you do ..so stack up some good memories!!!!
Keep doing what you love mate, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. If i was being picked up from school in this id be like "dad can you crack gate for my friends to hear?"
I’m sure any teenager would love to have him as Their dad, I know I would’ve.
That's the first thing I thought. Coolest dad
you tryna go legit homie? join the NIRA circuit?

An ungrateful statement. Appreciate what you do have fool.
The need for speed never stops no matter how old you are.
2Jz is an amazing platform. I enjoy my swap just about every weekend
Christopher Shevlin truth my friend it’s in your DNA! Have fun and be safe!
What would a 2jz swap cost for my 01 IS300??

I am 63 and just got me an Aristo with 2JZ-GTE. If you love cars there is no cutoff age!!
Clean simple stock look but under the hood a deadly single turbo 2jzgte 😍 best of both worlds
Toyota Enthusiasts 🇯🇵✊🏾.
Gotta love a Toyota Lexus build. Great dad didn’t lose his love for cars as he got older
I’m 52 and I’m not letting anyone stop me from modding my cars. Keep it up! Your build is fantastic and inspiring!
Best part is , how humble he is.
People's ego's gets the better of them, especially for a build like this.
Great work mate 👍👍
Thank you so much.
so glad my 2jzgte swap IS300 isn’t alone in the world long live the 2j!
K Reese I am looking to swap my 2001 is300 any advice you can give?
Hey man I’m in shop for a is300 but I’ve been told that automatics actually have the 2jz? Can I get a lil help
Nicolas Moreno manuals have them too it’s not a 2jz gte though it’s naturally aspirated
Dont ever let ANYONE tell you that you are too old to enjoy cars and speed.. Its a feeling that isnt age-biased.

"If you don't have it in you, you will never understand!" I'm with you all the way Kelly!
In the process of aristo swapping my is3. S369sxe with r154 I'm slowly piecing together. Love my is300 and taking her to the next level

Got a gs300 waiting for a turbo. Also got modded 300zxTT, keeping the Z forever though. Clean IS!!
