I would definitely recommend you do a transmission flush or drain and fill and that you clean your throttle body that also causes the car to have a rough idle
Very true, cleaning the throttle body made a lot of difference in mine. Runs way smoother now and idling is great. Try not to manually open the butterfly flaps when you do it cos you might have to remap the throttle body sensor. Haven't done a trans flush yet, kinda scared of it.
@Lee x He doesn't mean some shitty high pressure flush with generic trans fluid at a rinky dink quick lube, he means a full OEM fluid exchange at a Lexus dealer. Not even all Lexus dealers have this equipment and adapter fittings.
Dustin Soth yes. It seems that anytime the check engine light come on it triggers the check vsc as well. It goes away when you clear the code. Thank you though!
If you hit the drag strip again run the car on normal power mode and turn off traction control, get smaller rims like 18s if you want it may help and grippier tires and get extra weight out like the spare tire with tools. And your set for 0-60 under 5 seconds! Also smoother shifting if you change the transmission fluid dont flush since it can cause problems.
@@charliewright8476 yeah for the first couple of runs dont expect perfection. You can also brake launch it which may help too... I have revved mine to 1500 and then launched and it seems smoother.
Your Lexus looks totally awesome! Can you please tell me a little bit about the fuel pump replacement? In concidering replacing my fuel filter and would appreciate a little information on how you changed your pump. I realize that they are in the gas tank!! On a scale from 1 to 10 for an avid home garage Machanic. How hard is it to replace the fuel filter?
Next mods: 1. Front bumper conversion to modern 3IS style. 2. Rear bumper conversion to modern 3Is style with Diffuser... 3. Stance ACS Coilovers... 4. Ceramic pro Coating... treatment. Lol obviously in an ideal world where money isnt an issue...
Nah, I'd say OEM maintenance parts from Bell Lexus: - iridium spark plugs - water pump - transmission strainer/filter and 3-4 drain and fills (or dealer fluid exchange) - diff fluid - brake fluid - coolant - RC-F lower control arm bushings
hello, i just want to know what is the exact problem for your car in your video at 3 and half minutes??? cause currently my car have that kind of problem... can you reply me as soon as possible?
have you had any issues with the headlights getting moisture in them? I have a 2010 IS 250 and was looking for some quality headlights to replace with, but a lot of them have reviews of moisture getting into them after a few months. really like the look of your IS!
Hey great vid. Quick question. U were talking about a fuel pump issue, was I️t that ur car was recalled for bad fuel pump or was I️t just specific to ur car. Because I’ve notice old models of Toyota and Lexus around 2007-or higher have been recalled for bad fuel pump
@@denvertruong6041 by any chance do you have that clean white one that’s always sitting in that used lot by st Lucie battery?😂 I’ve seen that thing it’s clean
I don't even have a lexus is350 but those headlights and taillights are 1st degree murder. I'm now contemplating on getting a is350. What 06-2012 year do you recommend bro?
2009+. 06-08 could eat oil due to defective piston rings. 2011+ look the best with updated bumper, head and taillights, better looking stock wheels and F-Sport option.
Gaizkia these cars have been rated by multiple credible sources stating that they run a 0-60 time of 5.0-5.6 seconds. There have been some people saying that they run 4.8-4.9 but that is less credible and they may have mods done. My car is also sitting on cheap tires and a small amount of camber. Also aero does not help at all for 0-60 time.
hi there my friend, very very nice car! :) i order my one VLAND headlight and taillight so they are on the way to me...have u had any problems with fitting them? they work fine? plug & play? any fuses removed for ASF? and also i can see u have aftermarket chinese wheels, can you recommend them? a lot of ppl says they will crack, break in the half even when you hit small ramp/pothole? thanks.
omada02 hello. They headlights were pretty easy to install. All I had to do was run an extra wire to the fuse pannel. The lights were working fine for like 4-5 months but just recently the drl lights (the check mark) stopped working. Im sure i just rattled a connector loose but I have not had time to check it out yet. The actual headlight part and blinker work fine
omada02 not sure if you ever got an answer but if youre talking about the 10spoke wheels he had on- they’re g37s 19 inch wheels, I know because I had the same ones as winter wheels on my IS
Chrisi some headlights are compatible with Vsc and the hid headlights you’ll just have to find some I know a video on TH-cam where a guy has close to oem style headlights for the facelift for the 2nd gen but I’ve looked everywhere to find a fix to vsc and I’ve got nothing
keith hilton the headlights are actually very bright and the light pattern on them looks oem like. And I live in Florida so I wouldn’t know about the condensation issue
NeTriXz well some people use them for aesthetics but for me I pulled up to close to a parking curb and it broke the mounting points on the bumper so I need the clips to hold it on.
How did you get the headlights to not run the DRL? Did you just not attach the DRL fuse, or you're able to have it off while driving some other way? I don't want to take my bumper off again to detach the fuse lol
@@charliewright8476 sorry I should've specified.. I meant the HID lights that run at half power and flicker when not in full high beam mode. I don't like the flickering, I just want the DRL "check mark/ Nike swoosh" to be on and not the high beams at half power.
Josh Guillen you just turn your headlights off. My drl lights are wired to be on when the car is on so if you just turn your headlights off then only drl stays on
Maybe mines wired different then idk.. I have an 06 but when I flip my switch to have the lights off the high beam at half power stays on. I'm pretty sure that's how it was stock too but idr I got the headlights a week after I got the car.
@@charliewright8476 what are the tire specs that you run on those infinity 19s.. I have a set that I can purchase right this minute but the previous owner is running 255 40 19s on all four rims and I'm pretty sure for 19-in wheels to work with my suspension setup I'm going to have to run a 35 series sidewall 225 wide on my fronts
Absolutely love the headlights, I have to get them NOWWWW
Islael Avila they are definitely worth the money
@@charliewright8476 Best place to get such headlights?

I love the exhaust sound... how do I get it
Gorgeous!
Clean setup brotha! What did you do to turn off the “check VSC” light. Did the bad MAS trigger it?
Dustin Soth yes. It seems that anytime the check engine light come on it triggers the check vsc as well. It goes away when you clear the code. Thank you though!
Nice 👍🏻 bro I’m doing the same to mine I got the same one in black love my is350 what Exhaust u got ??

damn those headlights
Coilover link doesnt work anymore. Can you fix it pls
You killed it bro, what kind of rims do you have at 0:17 of the video they look clean af
Dude this is amazing
When your cars revs got so low it stalled was that your maf? Mines doing the same shit bro
Yes it was the maf sensor. Sorry for late response
Next mods:
1. Front bumper conversion to modern 3IS style.
2. Rear bumper conversion to modern 3Is style with Diffuser...
3. Stance ACS Coilovers...
4. Ceramic pro Coating... treatment.
Lol obviously in an ideal world where money isnt an issue...
Yea honestly I think I’m done with exterior mods for now
Nah, I'd say OEM maintenance parts from Bell Lexus:
- iridium spark plugs
- water pump
- transmission strainer/filter and 3-4 drain and fills (or dealer fluid exchange)
- diff fluid
- brake fluid
- coolant
- RC-F lower control arm bushings
The headlights... 🤤
Great video!
Can you make a video of the light output from those headlights?
Sure. I will in the future
Charlie Wright what was the check cvs? I have that with my car rn ? U fix it??
The video is posted
lmao i had the same maf sensor issue with my 06 is350 easy fix but annoying, great vid we have the same tail lights btw!
Thanks man🤟🏽
No one mentioned your grill! i love it - which grill did you get?
Ai-Kao Chang it was on the car when I got it but I believe it is the f sport grill. I may be wrong though
Which toyota cars parts are same ?how good is maintence?
Tremendo proyecto bro!, hey en la última parte del video se ve una rotonda ahí atrás, Drift(?)

If your 0-60 is 5 seconds you did something wrong, try getting lighter wheels and some aero going

Lane Sutton think you talking about afs not vsc. Just pull the fuse to loose the warning
Headlights look good, but herd not very bright. Also have trouble with condensation in colder climates.
keith hilton the headlights are actually very bright and the light pattern on them looks oem like. And I live in Florida so I wouldn’t know about the condensation issue
when u had the 20s on ur car im guessing they would get eaten up by the fenders
