I bought a 2007 lexus is250 2 years ago in july of 2022. 109k miles. I've been following along for a while and you've inspired me to set goals as a 2is350 as my dream daily driver. I've learned many things on this first car and I love that we had the same color (even though my clear coat is barely existent), but my upper control arms and lower ball joints (front) and my rear left cv axle is going bad. Just bought all the parts but the cv axle on rockauto, and once that project is done I was planning on wrapping my car also! It's lit seeing your progress, even though I plan on selling my 2is250 baby at the end to get the 350. Love the channel and hope we get to link up and see each other's cars one day :)
To all my is350 owners, just take care of your cooling system. Previous owner of mine blew a headgasket before i bought it at 190k. Ive got her fixed up and running fine, but there was a time this past year when my thermostat got stuck open cause some plastic broke off the housing. lexus couldve done better and made the thermostat housing metal, but oh well. I also had to bleed the cooling system twice for no aparent reason a couple months before the thermostat failure(i noticed the heat wasnt as hot as it shouldve been). Shes been running str8 tho since.
Got an 07 maxima 125k miles rn as my first car it's been okay so far just knowing the cvt can go at anytime and gonna cost 4k to replace scares me lol. Definitely saving up for a rc or is after this!
you right about these Lexus... I have the 250 is AWD and I love my car can't beat it and the car looks beautiful... I'm in the process of modify mines now... but yea this car are so reliable...
just got my is350 RWD last month, I love it, got the same color and head/tail lights as yours bro. Still a couple of things I gotta fix up on her tho. Gonna do a road trip from CA to Georgia soon. We'll see how that goes lol.
had my is350 for a year and only done regular stuff... oil change, shocks all around, one tie rod end/ball joint... 159kish miles on er right now and looking to keep going for a long time to come..
Broooo i would have been sooooo pissed if i have gotten side swiped . But I'm glad you're safe and still healthy ! The build is coming along nicely bro ! Keep up with the good content !
The future is looking bright for this build! And just some food for thought: what if you did Infrared instead of Matador red? It would pop and shine like crazy
I've got a 350 daily which has taken a good thrashing too lol, I'll probably get an f soon, I think the 350 is way better value for money though, 80% ish of the car for 30% of the money lol Fully agree if you daily cars they get hammered ffs
Im wrapping my 2014 gs350 nardo grey with a blackout on all the emblems and trim and grill but the front logo gonna stay silver like urs. its got black wheels rn and red calipers and its got a 15% tint im thinkin bout lowering it eventually
It came out like that. The harness for the headlights and from the car is probably different on the 2011-13 IS’s because they have DRL’s in the stock headlights
Man there’s something wrong with my 250 I’m getting such low gas mileage I’m getting liek 14 mpg. I don’t know what it is and I’ve only had the car for a week.

How did you fix it I think I might have a blown head gasket also
@@Atx512fool replace engine or rebuild it. I replaced engine cuz it cost me less to do
How is yours running now
@jvknots 220k no problems. Since then i needed to replace the starter, but thats expected on a 200k+ car with the original starter
Aye! MD is350 represent!! I'm about to pick mine up tomorrow/today!

Check your fluids and bring oil, you should be fine. Just get her inspected first and make sure everything checks out. Congrats Brodie 🤙🏾

Chill video. Vibes👌🏻
The future is looking bright for this build! And just some food for thought: what if you did Infrared instead of Matador red? It would pop and shine like crazy
We shall see sir ✊🏾
Nah… Matador red is deep and richer. Infrared is like a faded shade of red.

🙌🏾 All Facts. Well said brotha.
i need water and i did rember to drink water now i going to get water thanks to the vido
I’m in Maine and most pumps don’t have 91 so I end up getting 93 every time. $74 per tank and I fill up twice a week sometimes. It blows
Gawd Damn my guy 😂
@@almightyotto All worth it for the IS350 and the happiness it brings
Bro here its $120+ for a tank of 93
@@ayden6348 I’m so sorry man 😢

Have you seen the new ingenuity time headlights? They look crazy
Yea the new headlights are nice but I don’t like ‘rn on the 2is
Im wrapping my 2014 gs350 nardo grey with a blackout on all the emblems and trim and grill but the front logo gonna stay silver like urs. its got black wheels rn and red calipers and its got a 15% tint im thinkin bout lowering it eventually
Cleanest look frfr
VAAAA yoo im building up my 2010 350. Might hit you for some tips down the road
Other than the hood and Vland headlights, I like it.
what part of maryland you live in. I was in Annapolis on a school trip coming back from DC this past week.
What website to get aftermarket for the 06-2013 350 models
Where did you purchase the hood and trunk?
Both from different shops, the actual manufacturers might not have them in stock so you’ll have to do some searching
Ehhh, I gotta fill up tomorrow. Week before last it was $77 for my Non-ethanol Premium.
That hurts me 😂
Rwd or Awd?
What gas type you put in
Get the 4gen bumper on it
Not for me
Hey man love your vids quick question I have 2000 dollars of budget to waste in my is250 what would you recommend to waste it in?
Sell the 250, take the 2000 plus the money you make selling and buy the 350
Yeah, Those gas prices raises is crazy
Man. Looking for a Prius atm😂
Hey bro! Love the videos! Did you turn off the DRLs on your Vlands using tech stream or did it come out like that with your DRL being the checkmark?
It came out like that. The harness for the headlights and from the car is probably different on the 2011-13 IS’s because they have DRL’s in the stock headlights
@@almightyotto oh shoot. That’s interesting to know. I have 08’ and it flickers. I heard VLAND updated the firmware, but I’m not 100% sold.
About to start doing the exhaust on my 06 I was gonna ask you how your setup is
Check my exhaust videos
Bro you have a check engine light on
Yea it’s tune related 😂
coming🔜
🤞🏾
Yo oto what coilovers you sitting on ? And how low did you drop it in the front and back?
I’m on BC Coils and I probably dropped about an inch and a half upfront
@@almightyotto nothing in the rear how about rim and tire set up? Looks thick and nice bro not to lowered either
Aodhan AH08 Wheels & Continental Extreme Contacts
- front 18x8.5 +35 225/40
- Rear 18x9.5 +30 255/35
I’m lowered maybe 2inches in the rear
is urs a rwd? Im tryna see if I can put these on my 2012 Lexus is 250 AWD without lowering it possibly
Check engine light is on I can tell it’s not babied
😂😂 that’s from my headers. I’m Catless

It could be the way you drive. Try cleaning your mass air flow sensor and replace your air filter
What did happen to the side splitters?
Never put them on
Carbon extensions
130k is nothing for a lexus you cant even talk about reliability any car should be reliable at that mileage. My 06 is 350 has 182k miles on it
You’re high.
Otto u in North America?
Yea
@@almightyotto i wanna meet i like yo style i have an 350
£100 to fill mine up in the UK... That's about $125
Bro premium in Cali be up to 7 dollars and it isn’t even 93 just 91
That check engine and tpms light really make me cringe.
Makes me cry
$4.7? I pay almost $6.5😭😭
You’re in my prayers 😂
經典
67$ lmao my lexus costs me 150$ to fill up in quebec
Pain
@@almightyotto yes
All I can hear is silence!? That alot of money spent for something u can't hear!
