Keep doing ya thing man! There's not a lot of people doing content for IS's
I’m trying man, I hope my videos are some what helpful lol.. but thank you for the motivation
@@ChrisKheluram ...did you have a factory trunk lip? I have a 17 is350 f sport with a factory trunk lip.
Nah unfortunately I didn’t
@@ChrisKheluram...what 3m adhesive did you use for your spoiler?
Did the 3M come with the spoiler? If not, what exactly did you use?
Super clean man! Love that you kept the FSport wheels.
Andy Yin yeahh those will have to change soon maybe some CR Kai work wheels or if kansei wheels comes out with 19” wheels
Chris Kheluram gonna well the f sports?
I just bought a lexus IS 250 yesterday thanks for the ideas
👌🏽👌🏽 no problem
just bought an IS , greetings from Georgia(country)
absolutely love your is, looks flawlessly dope.
Just got my IS, can't wait to get started!
Hell yeah bro!!
Nice work dude, I got the exact same thing from artisan spirits, is300h fsport 2013. Keep it up
Just bought that cupholder bc of you. I don't know what they were thinking with the engineering of those cupholders. Thanks dude!
jazzy xo 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 glad you did; just make sure you don’t put any heavy ass cup on it, it’s perfect for coffee or tea and fits a Red Bull can perfectly lol and I know! Worse engineering decision ever.
I’m thinking bout buyin one of these. When yu dropped the air bags I lost it . Lol. Subbed !
😂 Thanks for the support dude, yeah man these cars are great cars in my opinion
Chris Kheluram yea man either this or a Jeep lol . How many miles is your car at today ?
Inspired! Keep the dope videos comin. I just got a black 15’ 2 days ago! Much Love from Hawaii
Me too
Hey man what diffuser is that and would it fit my 2016 is350??
my first time here & im 3 mins in already & i fw u for keepin it 💯💯
Haha good lookin 🙌🏽
All that throttle response he said lol boy if you don’t stop with all 200 hp 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 probably less
Clean and Beautiful Mods. 3IS represent yo!
Thanks man
I’m thinking of getting the same is350 can’t wait bro your looks clean!!!
Thanks man
I just bought a ‘14 IS 250 myself today & love it so far. No red interior though 🙁. By the way, you are so handsome
Thank you I do appreciate it 🙏🏽
Congratulations on the car, it was awesome, I have one here in Brazil, white I also had many brands, but Lexus enchanted me, I like it a lot. hug
Nice car bro liked I have an is 250 2007 almost bagged blue wrap live in Miami Florida I need a good coilovers I have lowering springs thks for any advice
BC racing coils with swift springs is definitely a good one but find out if they come pre loaded. Come coil overs come preload some don’t so I would definitely email them and find out.
RSR coils are known to be comfortable also
Just subscribed. Love your videos! I'm rocking 3IS in ultra white and on a budget, so I dig seeing how you saved on parts. Authentic is awesome, but not on my bank account 😂😂😂
Just picked up a 2016 IS300 F Sport and immediately realized the cupholder situation was a complete failure! Nice car man
lmao you a real one for saying the car nasty and engine bay. Im up on the west coast and the rain and incoming snow about to be vicous af, but thankfully ceramic coated.
My thing is, how were you able to that f1 style pilot light in the diffuser bro?
Greats stuff bro. Love finding Lexus builds. I've got a 2 gen GS300 I working on, on my channel with other car content.
Hell yeah bro, thank you 🙏🏽 the second gen GS is 🔥
Great video I just got my is250 and cant wait to start working on it
Thanks man if you need any advice let me know
One of the best lex out there!
Got this recommended since I got 12’ lexus :)
Glad to hear I’m being recommended sorry it’s for the wrong IS lol, but 2is are still 🔥🔥🔥 and you always have the option for a manual swap. Auto is getting boring lol
Great video, you need to host a meet up in the spring or something. Im from MA but I’m down to meet half way. Keep up with the awesome videos.
I’m from CT I have a couple 3is buddies who would be down for that they from Nj Ma
That would be dope, I’ve never considered doing a meet but I definitely will now.. I’ll try this summer for sure
@@jzallday102 hey I'm from New Britain. Looking to get a is 250 but was also considering a info to q50 what's your thoughts ? I was leaning towards the infinti because its faster/has more HP and I like the infotainment better
efrain martinez I have the 250 and it’s slowwwwww looks great but slow if you want power def go with the q50 I was torn between 250 or q50 too but Lexus killed the look that’s why I went with 250 but should’ve gotten the q for power
@@jzallday102 I agree in my opinion it's one of the best looking cars ever lolz and I'm no enthusist or racer but my opinion :p im coming fr a 2015 v6 Accord which I thought was enty fast also kept it on eco like 90% the time I just liked to step on it and hear the engine on on ramps or straight aways. I might go with the Lexus because again it's more the sound that I'm attracted to and it just looks amazing inside and out. The only issue I see with the is are the infotainment seems lacking. How do you feel about it ?
Keep up the good work I absolutely love your IS250 one of the nicest ones I seen
Thanks dude 🙏🏽
@@ChrisKheluram no problem
Nice ride I'm looking for 2014-2017 IS350 white exterior F sport 😎👍
“Nice rice” 😂😂 I think I know what you meant but thanks lol they are great cars dude especially the 350
Mad clean setup. Props to you my guy.
Thanks man that means a lot
Hi, I am in the market for the is250. You think the 2014 a good year and price I should be searching
Nice mods and great video fam. 🤙🏽
So a rc350 exhaust can fit in a 2014 fsport is250 If the diffuser get cut a lil?
Would you 🤔 placed your license plates on the front of your nice grill??
Came like that from the dealer. Unfortunately I never got around to changing it
Toyota lexus on a next level..toyota number one..👑❤👍
Nice Lexus my guy 🦍
Thanks 💯
Dope freaking Is. Love the channel quality. Supa clean reminds me of my pearl white tsx. How’s the bags so far? I’m deciding to bag mines soon
Thank you so much man! Glad to hear, I love the bags definitely something I would consider. But best Time to cop you a set is Black Friday or whenever they have a sale
I just got a lexus is 250 but didn’t get the f sport, do you have any recommendations on where to get a new front bumper or a front lip for the stock bumper? preciate any response my g loved the vid
Nia autodesign is a great company that makes lips for the non fsport IS
Ayyy I seen you drive by the other day! I'm from New York myself and just picked up a Grey 2016 is300 F Sport. Did a few mods already and love the setups you have on your IS, and definitely looking forward to utilizing similar mods to mine. Thanks for sharing and maybe we'll cross paths on the road again haha.
Lol I think I know what day that was, I love that grey color everytime I see a grey 3is I regret getting white lmao.. but congrats on the 3is and I’m glad to hear good luck on the build and I’m sure we’ll cross paths again lol 🙌🏽 if you ever need any advice hit me up anytime
Chris Kheluram haha I was debating between the white and grey color and only went grey because I know the white will get dinged up with scratches because people in New York don’t know how to park! Lmao. But the white is still so fire, especially during the summer nights.
Link to the diffuser?
Thanx brutha appreciate you hitting me back on the gram and telling me about the video
No problem bro 🤟🏽
really late but do you know if i can mod the hell out of my 14 250c?
I'm looking to get an airlift kit for my IS250. Where do you recommend I start?
I would start by waiting til there’s a major sale on air lift. you’ll save a whole lot on $$$ if they stilll do those sales. just have to find the companies that offer it. And once you caught a deal you have to figure out what you want whether its 3H or 3P. I went with 3P because it was a lot simpler to have installed but personally it’s up to you
@@ChrisKheluram where did you get yours from?
By any chance do you go to meets in jersey (el punto)
Haven’t been to a car meet as of yet
what wheels are you running?
How did you do your trunk setup for you tank and compressors? Is it on a wood piece or directly screwed into the oem floor board?
It’s on plywood 👍🏽
Good shit man. Props for being honest through out..
Thanks 🙏🏽
Love ur videos, mate! Did u do resonator delete also? Or just had the Invidia Q300 on? Cuz it seems the exhaust sound is really loud.
Alex Chen thanks man, no I think I failed to mention the tsudo midpipe that I have.. but depending on if you RWD or AWD be sure to know that RWD Model = no modifications AWD model = modifications need.
Easiest way I cut my stock midpipe on the drive side and had it welded to the tsudo midpipe.
Chris Kheluram Cool, it makes sense. And for the rear diffuser, I think Tom’s rear diffuser could be a good choice. But do u know if this invidia q300 fit to that diffuser? Cuz I really want a Isf looking, but Tom’s exhaust r too expensive.
I think you can get away with cutting the stock diffuser in the angle you want that what I did and slapped a 350z diffuser underneath but I don’t want you damage you diffuser so I would say save up and get the toms diffuser only because it’ll be worth it in the long run
Did you remove the resonator and easy install for the RC350 to the IS exhaust?
No I still have resonators on there.. and the rc350 exhaust is a straight bolt on your just need to cut the diffuser in order for it to fit 👍🏽
I use to have the same car f sport 2015 if anyone’s thinking about getting it honestly do it you won’t regret it. Had it for about 2 years never had a single problem moved onto a c43 but this car was amazing!
Thanks for your input bro! Glad to hear these cars are reliable 🙏🏽
Getting same exact one tomorrow. Worried about people saying how slow it is. Cant be slower then my old 2.5 Jetta tho could it?😂
@@cadenw3944 not a slow car by any means. You can’t beat the looks and price point. Car looks aggressive and interior is super nice
Thanks for sharing your build! Looks great! I am working on my 2018 IS300. Actually, I am curious how you hang the torque wrench in your trunk so it doesn't fly around when driving?
The breaker bar flies around anyway lol, I tried to strap it to the OEM straps in the truck itself but it still flys out sometimes lol maybe I’ll try to figure out a way to keep it stationary 💡
@@ChrisKheluram Lol ok, thanks anyway
what exhaust system is that
Yooo great video. I recently got mine, 350 but same color and interior as yours and f sport as well. I was wondering what those viair things in the trunk are use for.
I also need help figuring out which tint film to get and if I should res/muffler delete to get sound when pushing power but not have drone. Any insights?
I have air suspension so those are the compressors used to filled the tank with air. And if you don’t want any drone I would just probably get a axle back exhaust and leave the midpipe stock tsudo makes a cheap decent axle back for our cars
As for tints.. I have no idea.. I still don’t have any
@@ChrisKheluram really appreciate the reply and thoughtful answer. Im going to look into axle-back Tsudo pipes
I just got the winjet fog lights, was the installation tough? What spicifics do I need to know? Anything will help, thank you.
Not at all, just take your time.. it’s really straight forward
@@ChrisKheluram sorry to bother, can you send me a link for the led light bulbs plz, appreciate it and thank you
Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for your great video.
I have a question about the Invidia exhaust that I need your help please. If I buy only the invidia muffler of RC 350, is it ok if I just put them on my 3IS? Do I have to tune or do anything?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for supporting, and you do not need a tune it will bolt right up but if you have a 2014-16 3is diffuser all you have to do is cut it to fit the exhaust. If you have a 2017, you’ll have to either get a 2014-16 stock diffuser and cut it or get a diffuser that fits. I have pictures on IG for reference
Chris Kheluram oh okay, I got it. Thank you so much, Chris for your help. Wish you all the best. Stay safe.
Did the RC350 Q300 muffler/tips fit before you cut the stock diffuser and you just cut it for aesthetics?
No unfortunately it doesn’t not you will need to cut the stock diffuser to make it work and/or get a toms racing diffuser
Ny in da building
Yessirrrrr
How much was the airlift set up ?
Been Looking for Alternative for My 17 RC 350 FSport & Believe Your Set Up is My Answer.Stk.Exhaust is MUCH TOO QUITE for A Sports Car on the RC 350 F Sport & Love the Staggered tips,Like on the RCF Tips
Trying upgrade my 2014 Lexus is250 any advice
Sorry I barely look at my YT page anymore but the apexi throttle controller was honestly the best mod I’ve done to the car. Gives the throttle a much better response but it doesn’t make the car faster
Damn those curb rashes are crazy. NY potholes Mann
Wasn’t even that when I bought this car I bought it off a private dealership. Come to find out those guys touched up a lot of areas that was pretty much damage like my pass. Over the years the paint chipped off, one of those things was the wheels. Took it to a hand wash one day and everything peeled off. And they failed to mention that the car was rear ended before.
@@ChrisKheluram just a question bro why alot of you like to make the car body so low to the ground I mean it does look beautiful but why risk getting scrape and damage to the car body ?
Jack Reaper well to be honest man it’s all personal preference I love being low but I ride pretty close to stock until I park and air out but We do know if it something breaks we have to fix it either way lol. air suspension kind of helps with not ruining your bumpers so much
@@ChrisKheluram Damn Man, Sorry to hear. Got mine from a sketch dealer on RT22 in NJ but it actually ended up being super clean. Diggin the videos man.
@@ChrisKheluram I'm watching this video for the 2nd time and I'm just noticing that now. You still got these wheels bro?
I have same model but different dash board is it after market ?
No I believe fsport and non f sport have different gauge clusters
For your air lift setup, which fuse did you tap into? Im having trouble trying to figure it out I have exact same make and model
ING. no3 on driver side fuse panel
Any resonator delete or midpipe you have on the car or nah
Just a tsudo midpipe
Hey any other spoiler options you know of the one u showed is sold out
There’s a lot of company’s that make the same spoiler, I would look further into eBay and amazon. There’s many out there all depends on what you like
Chris Kheluram thanks man keep up with the vids I love them
How was the Apexi install? Was it pretty easy? Did it do alot for ur acceleration?
The hardest part was trying to find where to put the damn switch lol other then that easy. Some people have some issue with taking the plug off the gas pedal (accelerator) but grab your flashlight, look where you need to pushing in the plug and pull it straight up
@@ChrisKheluram good deal bro ✊ i just ordered one for my 200t. Keep up the content 👌
Do you have an install video for the throttle controller?
No I don’t but! It is super simple and make sure you buy the harness and box itself. 1) Unplug your OEM throttle pedal harness off the top of the pedal.. 2) APEX harness plugs into your throttle pedal and the pins go into your OEM harness. 3) connect the apex harness Into the APEX box 4) put the button where ever you want. Note the APEXi box does come with a grey wire that connects to your reverse light but it’s not needed.
Plug and play
@@ChrisKheluram Yeah, but how did you get the button in that spot? Looks good!
How does it drive in the snow??
Amazing ! Never had a issue
So glad I found another 3is channel
Just got a black 2014 f sport. Looking forward to more content
Hell yeah man! Definitely trying my best to get these videos out there stay tuned dude 🙌🏽
Chris Kheluram Subbed! Stoked to see for more on the build!
Great video and nice car. Question. The TOMs push start button, is that more for show or does it add performance to your car? Thank you
Just for show homie 🤷🏽♂️ I just liked that it lit up
What’s the mpg that you get?
Nice build so far
Thank you bro means a lot 🙏🏽
Loving the videos bro!
Thanks dude stay tuned more to come 👌🏽
Looks really clean where did u purchase ur spacers by the way I need some on mine
Got them on amazon, BUT make sure to look out for good reviews as always. The bore is 60.1mm but double check.
- 25mm front 20mm rear for aggressive fitment
- 20mm all around for great fitment
Amazing video, thumbs up.
What’s up bro great video
Thanks bro! Hope the fam and everybody doing good
Yea everyone is good
Is your front bumper stock?
Yup ✌🏽
What’s years is ur car ?
Has that Apexi caused any problems? I have read a few reviews where they had problems.
Well from my experience, in the past 2 years I’ve had my throttle controller, I haven’t had any type of issues at all. Works like a charm
@@ChrisKheluram
That's good to know. I appreciate the content on the channel.
Do you recommend getting a race chip
For is250/350 and AWD 300 I would stick with a tune.. i never experienced a chip but RRRACING tune actual has proven results
What about the is300
But non awd
I don’t believe there is a RWD is300 those are usually the know as IS200T
Is200t does have tunes/race chips out there that seem trust worthy like AFE or the burgertunes but you need to read up on what racechip/tune is best for your IF you don’t have a 200t
Yo that spoiler is sick where’d u get it from?
Amazon 😂👌🏽
ayo i know its a bit late but amazing video. do you know if the 2014-2016 IS have any noticeable difference, meaning does the 2016 include somethings that the 2015 or 14 dont include? ive been doing my research but still trynna find an answer
It’s all the same but some come with all the features like heating/cooling seats but that’s really it also is350 have sport + is250 don’t from my knowledge
good stuff man thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 🤟🏽
Sick ass ride👍
Great video and nice Lexus IS⚡️
мTz77 Sηίίρe ғтw thanks dude 🙌🏽 I’m learning as I go lol
I have a '14 350 but I'm a noob when it comes to car stuff, but is the hps intake easy enough to install yourself?
Super easy just take out the old one and replace the tube, when and if you get the HPS tube.. if you need any help let me know
Chris Kheluram sweet, I'll definitely order it soon. Thanks!
Great advice.
You know any companies that can do the honeycomb grill like the isf 250?
Unfortunately I don’t man sorry
that shit clean 💯 , i’d say wrap the roof gloss black it’ll give it a whole new look 👀🔥
I might wrap the car soon but idk man looking for a good color and thanks appreciate the support 🙏🏽
Do 250 only have heated seats? I have a 14’ 350 with both ac and heat
Lmao yes
Mine is a 2015 I have both
Like your video's bro keep uploading. Do you still have the Rsr springs?
Thanks man and yeah I still got them
@@ChrisKheluram mine is a 2016 is 300 awd, will they fit ?
Cus if they fit I'm interested
is the invidia axle back the only set up you installed or do you have a resonator delete as well?
It’s the rc350 exhaust and a tsudo midpipe
@@ChrisKheluram Dope! I have the Invidia Axle too but I'm trying to find a midpipe thats not catless. if not I was going to fo a resonator delete but I also don't want major drone. Any thoughts?
My shit drones crazy I would say probably keep the Stock midpipe see how you like it and if you want to go louder get the midpipe and if hate the drone, I would get get two vibrant ultra silence resonators and weld those on
@@ChrisKheluram how do you like your tsudo mid pipe? do you have any suggestions?
@@ChrisKheluram did you pass emissions?
Why the is250 and not the is350? I can’t decide on which one I want
I would go with a is350.. it’s just more beneficial as opposed to a is250. Only reason I went with a is250 was because I was college kid and I couldn’t afford the 350. That And my is300 1st gen was totaled but a drunk driver 🤷🏽♂️, so I kind of needed a car with the little money I had at the time.
wow she looks GOOD
Thank you 🙏🏽
I got a 2016 IS200T back in November 2019 used. The previous owner didn’t really take care of the interior, your interior looks newer than mine. The side skirts get really dirty and hard to clean. How do you deal with that?
I condition and clean the leather once every month to protect it from the damage the sun might cause. I use Meguiars gold class cleaner and I’ve tried the chemical guys leather conditioner it’s pretty good but don’t do it too often since chemicals can cause discoloring and wear eventually.. and if you have side skirts like I do I slide a rag in between the hard to reach area and slide the rag back to front. As for the side part I wipe them down with some “quik” detailer from Meguiars
Favorite part of the vid......pppppppsssssssstttttttt.... 🔥
That's one hot ride man! Wow
i have a question can your seats fit on a is250 2008 ?? or which model i can swap my seats to red seats?
great vid bro, subsribed
Thank you bro 🙏🏽
10:35 !! What’s the link to that part ? It looks dope bro!
Lol dude I have no idea the shop I go to actually ran the light and I believe he bought off amazon
Thank you for theses vids
Myles Lafleur yeah man for sure, anything to help 🙌🏽
Chris Kheluram how much you pay for insurance?
what did you do to lower the car?
Air lift 3P air suspension
