How to Install OEM Paddleshifters in your Lexus GS430
มุมมอง 1.7Kปีที่แล้ว
This video shows how I installed an OEM Lexus IS250 Paddleshift steering wheel in my GS430 and got it fully integrated.
Is the IS250 a credible daily driver? Drive and Review.
มุมมอง 425ปีที่แล้ว
After over a year putting it back together and fettling, my project IS250 has been sharing duties with my other cars, and is proving to be a really competent daily driver. These are my thoughts on why that is.
Project IS250 finally back on the road...
มุมมอง 246ปีที่แล้ว
With the new engine in and working (kind of...), and the brakes, steering and suspension all sorted, it's now time to troubleshoot the final issues and get to the important part - cleaning!

The IS250's new engine is in... Does it work?
มุมมอง 3.1Kปีที่แล้ว
The old, trashed engine is now out and scrapped - but not before donating parts to get its replacement up and running; but there's a few hiccups along the way, because of course there is!!
What's Wrong with my IS250's Engine?

At last - I get to the bottom of the IS250's engine issues and decide - is it worth saving?
Back Again! Project IS250 Work Continues!
มุมมอง 206ปีที่แล้ว
It has been almost exactly a year since my last video on the Lexus IS250 I pulled out of a scrap auction and started diagnosing and getting back to life! After a long delay I'm getting back into it and in this video start working on the brakes, steering and wheels/tyres so I can get it moving again. Next, I'll finally get stuck into diagnosing what's wrong with the engine.
Introducing my new (non-running) project car...
มุมมอง 4162 ปีที่แล้ว
I've just bought possibly the cheapest non-salvage IS250 in the UK, which I plan to work on when i'm away at work during the week. It's a bit accident damaged, is non-running, has a bit of a damp problem and slightly high-mileage, with a few more issues than was declared up front (Shock!). Can it be saved? Should it be saved? Am I about to burn a hole in my Bank Account? All good questions, whi...
Wheels, Lights, Brakes, Exhaust & More - Ticking off jobs on my Project XKR...
มุมมอง 2.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Happy New Year!! As the weather and light started to fade in 2021, I decided to focus on getting lots of little jobs done on the Jag - such as refurbing the alloys, polishing the headlights, replacing brake caliper decals and, most importantly, bringing the exhaust noise down to an acceptable, but still meaty, level. With all that done it still leaves me with plenty to get cracked next year, pl...
Jaguar XKR to XK Suspension Downgrade...
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Yes - downgrade! I'm putting a set of Jaguar XK coilovers on my XKR, currently fitted with 4.2 XKR-S Shocks and Eibach springs, as the car is too firm for the type of road I drive on. I am therefore probably one of the few people looking to make his suspension softer, but the standard 4.2 XK has an excellent ride and still handles well, so, to me, this is a no-brainer, especially considering th...
GS430 F Sport Sway Bar Install
มุมมอง 3.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Can you make a Mk3 GS handle? Yes. Yes you can! In this video I finally get to stop rebuilding my engine over and over, and actually start to address some of the issues that have bugged me since buying it, starting with the very floaty handling. I already have Tein Flex Z Coilovers, and now for Stage 2 I install a set of F-Sport Sway Bars...
Lexus GS430 Valve Stem Seals and Guides Part 2
มุมมอง 1.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The GS is now going back together having had the Exhaust Valve Guides replaced and a light skim of the Cylinder Heads. The key question is 'has this resolved the oil consumption issue, or have I just wasted a lot of time and money...

Lexus GS430 Rear Brake Caliper Refurbishment
มุมมอง 1.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Having completed a full refurb of the sticky front calipers, I then moved to the very stuck rear calipers. Buying a second hand set to refurb to avoid taking the car off the road while you're working usually works well. In this case, the second-hand brakes were not in the best of conditions...
Lexus GS430 Front Brake Caliper Refurbishment
มุมมอง 4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The front calipers on my GS430 were a bit sticky and had a cross-threaded mounting bolt, so were overdue some TLC... So I bought a used set of calipers, refurbished them and then installed them instead. Much quicker and the car didn't have to be laid up.
