@@2URLex do a pressure test. When my 08 started leaking I only had to refill once every 3-4 months, but I had no heat at idle in winter and multiple checks on top and under the car showed nothing. Pressure test confirmed it and it was goodwill covered outside of warranty
Love the wheels! Color combo with the yellow calipers looks beast! If you don't plan on headers I'd definitely just stick with borla muffler deletes, one of the best exhaust combos I've had, but make sure you add piping to the tips, otherwise will melt undercarriage lol.
Thanks! It came out really nice. And man it sounds so good too. I think I’m going to do just that, just going to rock the muffler delete with some tips for now until I get headers and then put the mufflers back on 😂
@@MartyMotoring the bazooka attachment for borla comes with really nice tips, easy bolt on. I paid $250 at Midas for welded on, but you could grab the bazooka with tips for like $500, use it, and sell it later for $400 easy. I was worried when I had my diffuser but you shouldn’t have that worry. Shines up the booty nicely!
Dang Marty you should have done a fluid exchange for the transmission. Run it twice so it replaces all the fluid then run bg transmission conditioner. It works miracles. It’s not ran by a pump it uses the transmission pressure and simply swaps old for new fluid and gets all of it swapped with new. It’s worth it look into it
@@balancemode4112 Dealer thinks it's a wire shortage somewhere but they couldn't determine where. The car just randomly wouldn't start and would leave me stranded multiple times. I said F it and just traded it in for a Honda.
The yellow calipers were a good choice for this setup, very sporty! I’ve only had one cup of coffee, so my eyes may have missed it… Did you mix the old and new transmission fluid? Nice post! 👍🏽
Thanks! Really makes it pop, just wish it was USB 😅 We poured out the old stuff and measured it, and then put the same about of new stuff in from a separate container
Very informative information. You're mods look great! Obviously you can't go wrong with the Michelin PS4 I have them too. You're wheels look really nice! They absolutely are easy to clean the inside of the "tub". The carbon side skirt look totally amazing. Preventive maintenance goes a very long way with Lexus! Longevity it the goal. I like the Yellow over the red calipers. I replaced my engine bay cover with a carbon fiber one. It reduces the amount of heat and looks good doing so. The drain plug on the rear Differential fluid looked a bit dirty. I'd recommend changing it again at 10 0 or 15K miles just to ensure it stays working properly. Very simple thing to do as you already know. I could practically smell the transmission fluid while watching it drain!! 🤣😂 Keep on top of that as you already know. Dont over due the drain and fill every 30K miles should keep you going strong. 🙏 praying your Valley plate has been done already. Just keep a watchful eye on it. The radiator cap, Thermostat and fluid flush should be considered due to the fact you live in a cold climate 😂 (unlike me in NC) The car sounds amazing!! I'd probably replace the coil wires just to eliminate them being an issue during the winter. The 44K he mentioned would be a good idea too. It's not going to hurt anything. I'd do it before you change the plugs. Little by little you'll get everything you want done. Enjoy that V8 my friend
Great advice! Thanks Jeff! I definitely want to do a cleaner as well as spark plugs. I’m using Marvel Mystery Oil now in the gas and oil. The radiator was replaced last year so that’s a nice upgrade, I’ve been watching to coolant and the level hasn’t changed yet which is great! I had to replace my thermostat on my 350 as well
Great choice on the advans !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ anyone who likes stock wheels is wack lol. I had a set of advan rg2 wheels back in the day. Currently I’m rocking some rays team Daytona m8 on my 4r
It probably is a wider track width but it looks very similar. I know the fenders and body are wider. With 45 offset and 9.5 wide, no mods are required to fit these wheels and there’s no rubbing
@@netob6826 well in my case, I think we used the wrong trans fluid in the 350 and it messed up the transmission, had some burnt clutches. So $70 hours wasted but it’s probably not a bad idea to do long term with the exact right amount of fluid
@@MartyMotoring it's the f sport handling package so it has active suspension 👌 top speed is sorry as hell but it's awd and chirps the tires when I takeoff lol
Depends where you live, the OEM wheels are different in different regions. These are Nieman Marcus wheels so an upgraded stock look. I like them but prefer some concave!
springs will make the ISF ride worse, coilovers ftw. My G37 had springs and it was maybe slightly stiffer, but the F already comes stiff and will get stiffer. Not in a good way.
This poor ISF looks like somebody gave it the Pep Boys accessory package with every possible cheap cosmetic part that they sell. The only thing missing is a firebird hood decal and some wire curb feelers and reflective door guards. They say rims make a car which is why he chose the worst possible rims available. Apparently, the shop who sold those to him must have gotten stuck with them somehow and just needed to find someone willing to buy them. This is one occasion where the stock rims actually look better than the upgrades. I love how the shop just took a rattle can of black spray paint and just walked around the car giving a single spray of paint to the wheel as he kept walking around the car. Looks perfect to me. I don't know why he chose to paint his callipers yellow with a silver car and then blame the paint makers for it looking bad which was due to him not taking the time to prep the callipers properly and not the maker of the paint. I cant imagine why they didn't clear his TPMS if the shop had techstream. Any decent shop that works on Lexus would for sure have that capability. Maybe they didn't think it would matter anyway on that particular car or maybe it was that they thought they could squeeze out a couple more dollars from Marty when he brings it back in after a week of having to see that warning light on his dash. I'm not sure but did he just remove one of his mufflers only without putting in a muffler delete pipe? Why would he do that to that poor car. Why would they let him do that? Did somebody make a bet that he would be ok with that? Or were they all just in too much pain from laughing when he requested this and then they looked at the car and then they looked at him and said what a great idea Marty. Then they just wished him good luck and told him that his firebird decal would be in next week and that they will instal it for him real quick for only $250 a side since they couldn't order the one large one anymore. I could just keep going on and on with this video but I would then be wasting my time since it won't matter anyway. Hopefully he gets tired of this car and sells it to someone that can restore it to its original beauty if it still can be at that point. Thanks for the video Marty, I have not been this entertained in a long time now. But I won't be coming back to view more of these gems since it will probably only leave me in tears to see this great car be destroyed any further than I had already witnessed here today.

Do you have a maintenance checklist i can use?
cool video. what's the center-cap size?
I believe it’s 73mm like the wheel hub
Looks good and very informative
shouldve painted the whole center of the rotor black so from the sides you don't see worn out gray
I'll do that when it gets above 50 degrees again. will look alot better! Calipers are also getting beat up and need repainted.
