    Ive got a gs400 that ive put 43k miles on in the last year without a problem. Def the best car I've ever had!

    I bought a 98 with 165k that looks and runs like new. I like the car.

    When I buy a GS300 someday, by the time the trans goes out I better have my manual swap all ready to go. xD

    The GS300 actually comes with a 5-speed, I noticed in the video you said 6 speed. The 5 speeds and 6 speeds from toyota/lexus are bulletproof with no problems, the 4 and new 8 speeds are the more sketch ones.

      The 4 speed transmissions in the old ES300s and Camrys were bulletproof.

      @@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow I believe that is the 5 speed you're referencing, I'm referring to the A541E 4 speed automatics in the 90s. Also, that isn't true, I had an '04 Camry that had 220K miles and the transmission was fine (annoyingly hunting gears and sometimes glitchy, but mechanically it was working, it never slipped).

      @@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow For "being garbage" it's still more reliable than every other transmission out there, I've seen multiple iterations of weak Honda transmissions go out prematurely (especially on their V6 engines). My 1MZFE also didn't burn a single drop of oil despite having over 220K miles on it, so it served me pretty well before I sold it.

    That’s a very beautiful car. I hope to one day own one of these but get the 400 which would be the 4.0 liter V8.

    You have that insert in the cup holder backwards. That's why it's not opening all of the way.

    what do you recommend for a deeper tone on the gs300 I just got a 2000 and I was wondering if a muffler delete and exhaust tips would be a deeper tone instead of raspy?
    Very nice video!

    • @povnelson2019
      @povnelson2019  3 роки тому +5

      Flowmaster super 10 super deep tone, it’s loud, but will last a long time, not raspy, and will fit just about any vehicle bc of its small size.

    BIG mistake - video shows pouring in of Toyota WS transmission fluid. It should ALWAYS be Toyota Type 4.
    So much for 15 years of "knowledge and experience" and "we know what we're doing"...and "25,000 RPM on the freeway"...
    ...high revving engine. ?!?!?
