Joe Double U Here's the deal. A car that can be modified to crazy performance can be had for a combo at McDonald's. This leads to a lot of children buying them. What they don't know is that it takes as much money to build it as it takes to build a Supra. Hence you get what you get. It's the market.
IS300 platform is the MOST underrated platform. A true car that can be built for anything. That sadly most of them get stances out and destroyed and never see the real potential as a fast lightweight turbo sedan.
Yes, sometimes tuning kids can be really ridiculous. I have a IS300 myself, and I got this car for the specific purpose that it looks so innocent from the outside and drives so well on the mountain roads.
Ayy i remember meeting you guys at Jason’s shop! Sick video man ive been a long time fan of hot version ever since i was a kid, i can definitely see the resemblance. Keep up the good work and hopefully one day i can slide with you guys!
Not meant to disrespect the build, this build was sick af! Love the 1Jz on the IS300 chassis but honestly the rims and tires are abit too wide for track purposes, hence the underpowered 3rd gear. 17 inch wheels will have been perfect. Coming from an Altezza turbo owner.
I love this car. One thing though, why does it have BN sports stickers on every part of aero when its not BN but Fineline MBN? For example I guess everybody would be mad if he would use Blitz caps on fake wheels
To be fair, this car did originally have the authentic BN Sports aero which has since gone into storage considering how quickly the aero is destroyed while drifting. John runs the replica aero to maintain the look while avoid having to pay $2000 to replace the aero every month. The stickers are really there just to complete the look of the car. ✌🏻
Auto Factory REALIZE it’s hard to ok this but I totally understand. Since you guys are true/respected JDM lovers not just fanboys, I guess I can turn a blind eye. But anyone else would get an earful from me lol! Much love you guys.
Auto Factory REALIZE I'm asking if the brake light on the dash is showing because you guys disabled the anti lock braking system on the car? I am curious because my Z did that.
It’s really funny you mention that. Taka did bring up that the wing was generating a ton of downforce on the high speed portions of the track, which was new to us since before this the car had only been on smaller technical tracks where it was only seeing 2nd gear. Definitely something to take into consideration for the future.
Love this channel, all the grassroots stuff is really so much better lol. bravo on another gangster vid
Thanks so much Jeff! We really enjoy putting these together
In a country filled with terribly executed IS300's thank you for such a respectable and inspiring build.
Thank you so much! 😅🙏🏻
Joe Double U thats so true, theres only a small handful that inspires me to continue my build. And this is one of em.
Thank you guys it really means a lot!
This and Aj's are the reason I'm keeping BN at least for another year.. cool to watch you him and jake drive in the super d vid!

Very true 👏🏻

Lightweight??
@@boboutelama5748 yes that's what I want for my next one. I want to get it to where it's planted for mountain road drives.
Hassan abdu alrhman 3200 ish pounds, pretty light for a 4 door, don’t you agree?
Respect thrash racing seats
Will probably die... but at least it will be in style.
This video is perfection! Hot Version style full build breakdown 😍😍
Thank you! We’ll be doing one for each car!
This thing gets all the style points. Props to you guys for ripping this thing, because it looks super hard to drive 👍
Thank you! Yes it has been a constant battle learning to get this thing set up properly.
This was sick af! Reminded me of Option Videos.
Thanks!! Yeah we really wanted to try our best to stay in that style
Dope man! Goooood OG SOLID CONTENT!!! This is what our Community Needs! Good job Guys!

Taka such an OG in the drift community, so cool for you guys to collab with him.
He really is, and so nice. We’re happy we were able to do this with him.
Much love and respect coming from a 2JZGTE IS300 owner. This car should of came with some type of GTE.
Thanks Alex!! 🙏🏻
Taka Aono is a straight up gangster, love the video. Subscribed!

Hey Kenny!! Thanks for the kind words and I’m sure we’ll catch you on track soon!
Love this episode. It's very reminiscent of hot version and video option!
Yes!! We thought there was no way we could produce this video without tying in some Hot Version flavor into it!
Taka is the best!
He’s great and we are so grateful he took the time to come give us his impression
Sick episode dudes! Such a quality video! Keep making these please!🙏🔥🔥
Thanks Dave! We’ll have one of these for each car on the team!

Thanks dudes! See you in a month!!
Is there a reason why the e break was on
I would like to see a Machine check on all the REALIZE cars.
I love this car. One thing though, why does it have BN sports stickers on every part of aero when its not BN but Fineline MBN?
For example I guess everybody would be mad if he would use Blitz caps on fake wheels

What are the Offset and fenders?

3:22 i see logo Altezza) all fun Altezza, named lexus IS in Altezza

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
How long did you had the 1jz in your is300
It’s been about 4 years!
Which power fc are you using?
Power FC D-Jetro!
Auto Factory REALIZE yeah I meant, sxe10 or jzx100 version? Thanks for the reply though.
It’s from the JZX100!
Lets see some nissans and alignment setups!
Coming soon! These take a bit of work and coordination to put together so bear with us!
Yesssss
I got that same advan jacket lol.
Yeah but is yours autographed by Taniguchi???
Neither is John’s. 😂
I wish haha.
sickkkkk
What BOV is he running?
HKS SSQV
It still angers me that FD didn't give Taka a proper sendoff when he retired. Still my favorite driver.
Totally agreed. He’s a great driver with incredible spirit.
Dude.... was the ebrake up the whole time?
Nooo it might the camera angle. The ebrake has a Cusco button so it stays down.
Auto Factory REALIZE is it because there is no abs anymore no?
What do you mean?
Auto Factory REALIZE I'm asking if the brake light on the dash is showing because you guys disabled the anti lock braking system on the car? I am curious because my Z did that.
Yes according to John the ABS was removed.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!
I can smell those tires
Finally I've waited all week for this. I got so bored I had to upload my self. #shameless plug ❤️
Haha thanks Andrew!!
Auto Factory REALIZE can't wait untill next week!
Toyota Altezza top!
Fellow is300 owners??!
Maybe if he took that gigantic wing off he might have enough power left to drift instead of having to push through the wind hitting the car.
It’s really funny you mention that.

DOOOPE
i Want by Toyota ALtezza, Altezza si worth at Russia 600.000 Rubles, ok 600.00/67=8955$
All that wear and tear to take turns... slower? I just don't get it.
All those BN stickers on copy BN :(
Thank you for voicing this.
BN Sports hood
Spec
I will now sell my z for this
Jeez this video didn't age well
did someone say womens' glasses?
First comment gets a free Realize sticker right?
I think you meant virtual high five 🙏🏻
I can't believe I wasted my time watching this video. It's a stock swap car with basic bolt on...
so pretty much it was a pos
