  • It is finally time to get the 2012 Lexus IS250 all finished up and send it to its new home. Between broken equipment and parts delays, this build seemed to drag on forever but in fact was actually pretty easy. If you are one of the select few that read the description, see how many easter eggs you can find in this video. You will recognize a lot of cars, parts and equipment in future videos.

    7:50 AMEN. I work with electronics repairs and I put every screw and bracket back on. Even foams and tapes. I like to make everything look like it came from the factory. If it came with it from factory for some reason, it’s going back on.

    My 37 Chev PU sat outside until the early 70's.Then for the next 15 years it was in a corn crib.until I rescued it and took it to my garage. At 85 years old there were only 2 spots of rust, both where the floor pan meets the back of the cab. Neither were rusted through, but the paint was blistered. I'm boxing the frame so I will cavity wax it, but the climate here is semi arid. I've had portions of the truck in bare metal for over a year with no rust forming.

    I use a couple of the 8 and 20 part storage bins from harbor freight, number them as I go along and sometimes write what they are to also jog my memory, then assembly is just counting backwards. big pieces are usually pretty obvious where they go, and if they're not well, maybe I shouldn't be taking cars apart to fix them. :D

    Your sense of humor has improved greatly since last vid, did you win the loto? lol. The reason gm cars break and Lexus does not is east. Every vendor knows gm will not return junk parts. Lexus, on the other hand, will send all parts on shelf if they find a few bad ones. Then they back-charge for the parts the shipping and will send them back all again if the vendor misses one and sends a bad part back to them. GM could have best quality but. they simply do not want it.

    Great job! I enjoy watching your videos. Unfortunately Lexus IS250's of this vintage were known for excessive carbon buildup on the valves due to Gasoline Direct Injection. See how black the exhaust tips look. The IS350's of this vintage were much better as they had both Port injection and GDI to counter the effects of excessive buildup on the valves.

    • @CouchMan88

      Can probably run some Seafoam through the throttle body or the brake booster vacuum line and clear some of it out. Some of the newer Lexus use port and direct injection still. I know the RC does.
