You already know he would've got all the lexus models 2nd gen gs300, gs400, and the Sc series they were just pimp cars back then no one could really afford.
I’m about to inherit a 2002 GS 300. It only has 60,000 miles on it and has always been garage kept. Bone stock. Gorgeous car and appreciate the video for some possible reliable and tasteful upgrades.
I kinda ran with the idea of the GS300 being made to compete against the E class and 5 Series and made mine look pretty AMG. The black wheels with chrome rims pretty nice. I definitely recommend one if your looking for a fun first car too. It won't worry you parents too much because its a midsized lexus 😀
I have a 2000 model, I've been having it for a year and a half, its my daily driver, I've kept it stock, runs great and not a headache like my last Nissan altima.
bro this crazy, last night I was looking up is300 vs gs300 and I was like, "damn wish there would be a 'so you want a gs300'". Then the holy grail dropped while I'm in math class. crazyyyyy
I'm in Canada and my 2001 Aristo was my first JDM car, still have it but now its got a single turbo and a shift kit in it, slammed down on some 19s, I love it.
Hey Alex, please do a “so you want a Lexus GS part II” and go over the newer generations V6 and V8 models, F sport, etc. would really appreciate it! I just picked up some BC racing coil overs from you guys for my GS350, I’m super excited to slap them on soon! 🤙
I bought my Toyota Aristo a few weeks ago. Automatic with 2jz-gte and pretty much every option you could get into one that time around. 140 thousand kilometers driven and I just love it. Bone stock and gonna keep it that way because I daily it.
Soooo glad you guys made a video on my car!!! As a student its difficult to pay for parts to make it my own but this video gave me confidence to make it my own. Cant recommend the platform enough even in stock form, but adding a spooly boi would send a shiver down anyones spine and is worth every penny
Back in 2013, drove across the rockies for a GS430, came back with an IS300. The IS is still running strong, so def can't complain, but really thinking about switching. My bones are older and need that plush cabin baybee.
I love the GS300. I want to buy one as a daily driver. I just absolutely am in love with the styling of this car, and it's reliability if properly maintained! I won't do power upgrades, I won't drive it hard. But I will throw a nice set of wheels on one and probably some coil-overs and lower it enough to look good, but still ride smooth. 😄 I want to keep it stock, as it'll be the daily to keep the miles off my pick-up truck, and it's such a beautiful car with even just a few cosmetic upgrades, I'll be so proud to drive one as a daily! I love the NA 2jz too, cool motor in a cool car, even if it's not the turbo one lol.
I drove my Lexus GS300 stock for 20 years with 90k without knowing it was a special car. I just liked how peppy and fun it was to drive. It has several issues now with the ABS failing, stock navigation system blinking out, and the paint on the hood and top are pretty much gone, but that engine is STILL purring like a kitten and very peppy with almost 300k. It was babied in a garage for 10 years then my wife gave it to me when she got her SUV and I got rid of my Nissan 300Z (which I still regret). I love how much power it has for a standard sedan. Very hard for me to give this car up. Some car racing guys got excited when they saw my car and I was a bit surprised. Also, a bunch of drag racing happened near my work after hours while the cops were not looking and my car fit in quite easily - "Go ahead take your turn". I was like "um, can I just go home please?" I am not a motorhead, just a fan of the car.
Yes finally!!! Thanks Alex for talking about this unappreciated vehicle. As myself a gs300 owner, this is a great platform to build a sleeper or drifter. I'm looking forward to putting Artisa carrier on my 99 gs300.
@@demitri9211 It's supposed to look stock but it's quick as fuck. Like a regular looking grandma car and boom turbo spool outta nowhere. The purpose is to make a plain looking car fast and make it inconspicuous.
Owned a 99 Aristo with the GTE engine. The car drove incredibly nice even with lowering springs. Only had it for 5 months before selling it. Was not the most reliable daily driver. Had rear tie rods for the All wheel steering. Definitely not a first car for people. Only came with 4 speed auto trans. Has a traction and stability control system that is not really possible to completely turn off so you couldnt really drift it. Still drove amazing and miss the car alot. Prices have started to skyrocket since I sold mine. Great video guys!
i have a semi stock 2003 , GS300 in the UK,.....front/ rear strut braced, gas flowed exhaust manifold`s, free flow air intake, reworked ecu, 17" x 8`s and 9`s with 235 fronts 255 rears, reworked exhausts.......uprated disc`s, great car to drive, it may be old, but looks great! a real sheep in wolf`s clothing!
I own one abs that hardest part about owning one is not knowing what you really want to do to it. It’s like you said it looks good in so many different ways and having the 1uz rather than the na 2j, anything is tempting from the get go 🤣
I have a 2000 gs300 that I have been building for a few years now. It's pulled a tip speed of 164mph and all I have done is rebuilt the engine and in the process added cold air intake and bigger injectors and changed the fuel pump and custom fuel lines. I have drilled & slotted brakes, full carbon fiber body kit front back and sides. Sits on 3 piece 19" black with a polished chrome lip. Full air bag suspension. Carbon fiber hood that looks like the OEM hood. Complete custom stereo, Pioneer 8inch touchscreen with all the extra features clarion speakers all around with a Alpine 4 ch 1000watt amp and a single ch 3000 watt amp to power the 12 in JL audio w7 with custom built ported box. LED halo projector headlights with matching fog lights and custom led taillights with smoked lenses. Cat delete exhaust. And a few other things I have done to it. Work in progress. Best part is it only had 60k original miles on it when I got it. From the original owner. Has 76k on it now. I LOVE MY GS300. It is by far the funnest car I have ever had.
It's a shame that most want to go the "Toyota Aristo" JDM route with the GS, instead of keeping them *simple & classy* like a *LEXUS* should be in my opinion.
The gs300 platform has been swapped for years, drifted etc it's barley now being excepted as a vip chassis because it's in between a small /full size sedan and most vip builds now are mostly dropped cars with shitty fitment...
Couldn’t have clicked fast enough, I’ve owned 5 GS300’s (JZS147) and just love the platform so much! A bit more history on the 2nd and 3rd gens available engines (3rd Gen had a 300 as well) would have been cool but as it is ‘so you want a GS300’ I will say job well done!
Mine still looks factory outaide of 17inch BBS rims. She makes 730ish hp now. Still my favorite car ive ever had and ive owned 16 cars i can remember(I build and sell cars) that i genuinely didnt wanna sell but wanted money for new builds.
Just copped a stock gs300 low miles few months back , I love my slow silver cruiser, I almost don't want to mod her keep her till she breaks but I don't forsee that for awhile.
I have now owned 2 different gs300’s at 17 and hands down the best cars i ever owned, have flipped 9 cars and my 1994 gs300 non vvit and my 2001 gs300 vvti and they are simply superior especially for there availability, quality and reliability
And when he says it’s nothing to write home about stock he’s lying there amazing stock😭 and in 2001 you got basically an early version of paddle shifters on the wheel
Just picked up a 2001 gs300 it was this over the infiniti g35 sedan haa

I have a gs300. Its calm motor and very confortable. The air conditioner is wonderful. The sun top is very chachi, chulo. Im from Spain and i dont know better form to say. The consum is high. And the space is enormous. I love my new car. Only 140.000 km. Gris. Grey. Cheers
I had a GS300 since new. No mechanical problem whatsoever till brake master cylinder issue. I had it replaced, one of the biggest problems since my entire car ownership.
Hoping to buy up a GS430 Soon, found these videos because of it, and now I know EXACTLY where I am going to buy wheels and suspension. This car is amazing!!
1 UZ for me. Crazy longevity with that V8 rumble baby. Got a 93 LS400, but I lust for a 2nd gen GS400. Still searchin'.... Great vid. Peace to the FI crew.
I might be the luckiest person. Bought a 2001 for 900. Had a damaged radiator and thermostat. Had both of those replaced. Bought a set of newer Lexus wheels since the guy wanted to sell the old ones separate. Changed the spark plugs and coil packs. All that and she runs like a dream. Too bad the electronics are kinda glitchy.
Fun fact the 2jz gte was developed for the aristo and not the Supra hence why the stock turbos make insane low end tq. The gs400 was also the faster 0-60 automatic sedan in 1998-1999 and I think maybe 2000 @5.7 seconds. Also ran a 14.3 quarter mile which was fast back then and is still competitive in today’s standards.
I'm a little jealous of this video. The energy and gushing over the car is more than in the IS300 So You Want. Oh well, all in the same family. Much of the praise overlaps too so do more old Lexus, 2nd Gen IS plz!!!!
@@lambodriver217 I am going to keep asking until he does it. I unfortunately wrecked mine and didn’t have the money to repair it right away. I’m going to get another one soon, I don’t want a G37, too many of those around now. I would definitely get one though after I get another SE R
I bought a silver 2003 GS300 with 78,000 original miles about a year ago, so far i did some paint correction to get rid of the rock chips and I've put gunmetal grey 18 inch rims with performance tires. Next I'm upgrading the suspension tinting the windows and adding a bluetooth audio system. In the near future i am planning on doing the Aristo turbo swap and making it manual six speed. I'm looking to add horsepower to the tune of 900 to a 1000 horsepower to make it the ultimate sleeper.
Advice, replace plastic parts, like the Radiator any time you get the chance(like the next timing belt/water-pump change) The Car is Great, but twenty years of age on plastic, is a weak spot.
I may be bias but does anyone prefer 98-05 GS over the the 06+ Gs? I mean the interior and features are nice but the the exterior of of the 98-05 catches my eye every time!
I would disagree that n the rim size comment. Im running 20’s and they look perfect in my opinion. It also gives a lower look while not having too much camber = more tire on the road.
this guy won me n got a subscription feom me even if i never watch another vid just because he said hes not gonna waste time talking abt the history which is what i wanted but never even knew i wanted
this was my first car it was a beast it was a 1993 the axil broke and i went into a fence still the best car i’ve ever owned to this day n it almost killed me

Yess extremely underrated I asked for that when they did the Sentra SE-R. I used to own one til the auto trans went out at 160k and went to a G37s
@@lambodriver217 I am going to keep asking until he does it. I unfortunately wrecked mine and didn’t have the money to repair it right away. I’m going to get another one soon, I don’t want a G37, too many of those around now. I would definitely get one though after I get another SE R
I bought a silver 2003 GS300 with 78,000 original miles about a year ago, so far i did some paint correction to get rid of the rock chips and I've put gunmetal grey 18 inch rims with performance tires. Next I'm upgrading the suspension tinting the windows and adding a bluetooth audio system.
In the near future i am planning on doing the Aristo turbo swap and making it manual six speed. I'm looking to add horsepower to the tune of 900 to a 1000 horsepower to make it the ultimate sleeper.
I had a VIP gs300 2005. Miss it every day.
Just got an 00gs300 and it rides like a dream after owning a Lexus sc400 I used and abused this feels like heaven
Finally. I can proceed with modifying my gs300. Please send Artisa wheels...
Advice, replace plastic parts, like the Radiator any time you get the chance(like the next timing belt/water-pump change) The Car is Great, but twenty years of age on plastic, is a weak spot.
I may be bias but does anyone prefer 98-05 GS over the the 06+ Gs? I mean the interior and features are nice but the the exterior of of the 98-05 catches my eye every time!
of course. the 98-05 is the good one
Hell yeah, 1UZ vid please!
I would disagree that n the rim size comment. Im running 20’s and they look perfect in my opinion. It also gives a lower look while not having too much camber = more tire on the road.
I'm kinda boring so I think 18s & 19s look best, but some 20s look good too. And I have 17s on my 400 😂
I’m glad you did one on this car cause this is a car I’ve been wanting ever since I was 4🤧
Yeeeesssss!! Thanks for listening! I have 2..... A 2001 & a 2003 sport design.... Best vehicles I've ever had
This ones a Classic!! My Fav GS
I will say this, go back to the old intro. You had the only intro of car videos that made people even want a Prius 😘
hopefully buying a gs soon these things look so fucking sick
Buying one tomorrow ! Hella excited
Yall get it yet ? I just got mine, dark blue...sick rims. 144k miles. Really dope ride .
Yessss yesss omg i was dreaming about this last night 😂😂😂😂✋✋😀😀😳
this guy won me n got a subscription feom me even if i never watch another vid just because he said hes not gonna waste time talking abt the history which is what i wanted but never even knew i wanted
My ls400 got 311k miles still run like a beauty. And I’m 17 so I run the shit out of it
I currently own a a white Lexus GS 300 1998 6 cylinder, She drives incredibly smooth for being older than I ammm she’s amazing
How ironic, I tried searching this video yesterday and now it exists lmao
this was my first car it was a beast it was a 1993 the axil broke and i went into a fence still the best car i’ve ever owned to this day n it almost killed me
“so you want a pomeranian”

So you want a gs300 is tied with the is300 episode for best of the so you want series.
