OMFG, Kato had me dying when he grabbed that towel on the engine cover LOL. It's great seeing the old OG Hoonigan crew. That steering wheel is a wall hanger man. From a shoot with Ken...
i think we can all relate to clutch dumping with someone behind us at a stop sign when we're still learning stick haha, that panic not to fuck up really gets you
No joke, this was probably one of the coolest things I've seen. She looked so happy and your instructions and support for her driving was awesome. Looking forward to seeing more on the build.
Vin - You never intended to make this channel a vlog, but this is such a killer style you've developed. The low-fi tunes in the back? The colours. You and Amy are a great combo of wrenching cred and passion. After DDE, I love diving into a new episode with you.
Amy did way better than I did on my first aggressive clutch, and I dare say she makes a natural getaway driver, lol. Also, a sprung clutch is fine for stock 200hp
Its that younger generation trying to make controversy over everything an make labels.I'm about your age remember the shit we use to say with our friends it wouldn't fly today at all. Don't be a xxx we use to say that all the time don't say it anymore gotta grow up congrats on the IS
You NEED Kato on the channel to drive all your cars and do commentary. He is just so funny without trying. "Mod of the year ask your mom" had me dying.
Amy, from one person to another that has been been described as 'quietly optimistic' in their excitement. I get it and it makes me a little happier to know that I have company. 🙂
Loved this, especially for what a better teacher you are than me. It is so difficult to pull off a video like this that ends up as fun, warm, and sweet. Kudos to the team.
Hahahah thank you for being a smile to my face... I have been going threw some shit.. I have been watching your vids since day one.. Amy you go girl!!! ❤😊😮😂
I recently saved an 02 sportcross that had been sitting under a tree for the past 4 years. I bought it to flip it but fell in love. I absolutely love this car and am very excited that you guys picked one up. I’m looking forward to this build since they are extremely rare and a ton of fun!
Hey Vin, ive had heaps of twin plates and i have 5 beemaz all turbo manual.. I find that with a hell hard or grippy clutch, to put the friction point about 1 inch off the floor.. Adjust the clutch at the pedal..! That way the pedal doesn’t get a run up of 3-4 inches then grab aggressively.. You can just pivot with your heal, about 1 inch later, you have more control.. give it a go bro! You probably know all this info, if not, its free to try, my gfriend can drive my twin plate e36.. If shes lucky haha 🤙
Been watching you from the start and you just make me smile, regardless of the cars, a genuinely nice guy who deserves everything coming your way. P.S Amy is a rockstar.
First time I entered an Lexus it was the IS 200. 6gear manual looking at Beeemers on the market. I loved it direct and later I found the Altezza in Gran turismo. I talk about 27+year’s ago. Happy for you and Amy! I wished my malaysian understand manual gearboxes… Lexus..the better BMW that time
This is awesome for Amy! Excited to see more on this. I'm more of a muscle car guy but I've had two IS300s and regret selling them both, plus the wagon is even cooler and the 6-speed is perfect!
Kayo! We missed his sweet angelic baby face. Glad to see him doing well. Great buy for Amy! Sick car, room for Champ and her crafts, and room to customize it the way she wants. Dude it's perfect!
I just got my licence last month, bought my first car 2 weeks ago ... learned to drive a manual, bought a manual, and actually like it! And yes, I occasionally stall since I don't have the right feel for the clutch in this car yet, it'll come with time!
Amy did great, especially new to driving manual! Brandon did a lot of interesting things but that could turn into such a well-rounded car with improved drivability.
Hey, that's my car! So cool. I got it coz I saw Kato rip'n around the burn yard in that. Best car I've ever owned. It's so well engineered. I love it and so will Amy. xoxox
I'm realizing that I sub'd to Hoonigan way back in the day because of the people on camera, and not the name of the channel. This was such a fun one to watch.
Oh man, I've wanted one of these FOREVER. Even a plain jane, automatic one with just some springs and wheels/tires. They'd make such an awesome daily. I'm 100% jealous.
Oh sweet lord! My second car was this as a sedan, Lexus IS200. Same paint, pearl white. I had sand brown leather interior. Oh how i loved that car. Miss it even today.
Damn I missed seeing Kado in a video, so much nostalgia from the DTs back in the day, loved his personnality ever since. This and the fact there's an IS now in your garage (as an IS200 owner I'm biased ahah). And on top of all this I think I learned something about the IS (I didn't know the electric seat could be tilted all the way forward, I'm gonna try this tomorrow with mine). I hope you and Amy will like it, it has very tasteful mods, though it's gonna be hard to not turn it into a project car which would make it loose its value
Man…that’s such a sexy car. And it’s got a MANUAL!? And Amy is so cute, dude. Lol Good for you! Sincerely! Love the vibe of your videos. Keep it up. 🤘🏻 Thanks for bringin genuine quality content!
OMFG, Kato had me dying when he grabbed that towel on the engine cover LOL. It's great seeing the old OG Hoonigan crew. That steering wheel is a wall hanger man. From a shoot with Ken...
He’s still such a ridiculous human. Always cracks me up.
@@vin_tra and now Kato is part of the GR86 gang. Should do some more stuff with Kato.
That moment made me spit my damn lunch out of my mouth. 🤣
Bruh classic Hoonigan
Vin is really on to something here video's have a dope vibe always
Amy build is just what your channel needs. Hope she stays involved in it. My wife is excited to see her work on the car.
Completely agree. My last name is also Barry. 🙂
LOL at the clutch dump reactions at 15:30 I love how positive you are in this, your face said look out, but your words were cautiously encouraging.
HAHAHAH
Haaaahaahhaahahaha That was classic!!! The mutual looks and Amy rollin with it haaaaa Awesome!
😂😂 "😳whoa that was siiick"
i think we can all relate to clutch dumping with someone behind us at a stop sign when we're still learning stick haha, that panic not to fuck up really gets you
When in doubt peel out!
An is300 is one thing, but a is300 speedcross WAGON F*CKS HARD. Definitely don’t see them everyday
*sportcross* I done goofed the spelling
sportcross, but yeah facts
@@StanleyKubick1 This will be a Speedcross for sure once Vin is done with it!👌
Literally rarer than an F40 as Doug would say lmfao
😂
no lies detected.
Good teacher….calm, patient, encouraging. Nice work!
Amy's reaction was so golden! Got me grinning and so happy for her! I can't wait to see what she does with her new toy.
No joke, this was probably one of the coolest things I've seen. She looked so happy and your instructions and support for her driving was awesome. Looking forward to seeing more on the build.
Dude marry her. She's a keeper
Marriage is the #1 cause of divorce
Lol like every girl she's has her off days
And invite me to the wedding :)
Gave me hoovies garage vibes
@@calambres6614 "me love you long time" that chick was NOT domesticated
dude the "whoa that was sick" at 15:31 had me crying. i've had the same feeling of being surprised, but also pure elation at the same time.
Kado saying 'brat summer' was the most hilarious shit ever omfg
Vin - You never intended to make this channel a vlog, but this is such a killer style you've developed. The low-fi tunes in the back? The colours. You and Amy are a great combo of wrenching cred and passion. After DDE, I love diving into a new episode with you.
Love the way you found a way to get the dopamine of buying a new car without the guilt of owning another car 😂😂😂 👍
"It's a thing. Ask your mom." Love this guy.
As a wagon owner myself Kado hooked you up! CD009 swap alone is worth it but all the wagon goodies are such a bonus.
It's a sweet car! Mine came with the full JDM lip kit as well and it looks so good
"WHOA THAT WAS SICK" LOL the look on your face 😂
You guys are such a lovely couple. There is so much respect and it’s awesome to see ❤
Amy did way better than I did on my first aggressive clutch, and I dare say she makes a natural getaway driver, lol. Also, a sprung clutch is fine for stock 200hp
Love the vibe you and Amy have, can tell it’s genuine and one of my favorite videos of recent
Vin looked terrified! That was terrific for a laugh😂
Vin, you’re a good dude. I dig the wagon, that’s super cool 👍🏼
Wagons are under appreciated, I had a Subaru impreza wagon and the practicality of it is awesome.
15:30 bro was flabbergasted 😂😭
I love seeing yall interact. Adorable. Also love how encouraging Vin is.
Telling your Asian gf that she's a ricer is crazy 😂
It’s a term of endearment
He even calls his Asian friend a ricer 🥲
@@Jollytsunami😂😂😂
Its that younger generation trying to make controversy over everything an make labels.I'm about your age remember the shit we use to say with our friends it wouldn't fly today at all. Don't be a xxx we use to say that all the time don't say it anymore gotta grow up congrats on the IS
She is not as soft as you. Don’t start nun won’t be nun..
You NEED Kato on the channel to drive all your cars and do commentary. He is just so funny without trying. "Mod of the year ask your mom" had me dying.
So proud of Amy! She did great and extra kudo's for being willing to do it on camera. Awesome stuff. Can't wait to see her be ripping in this thing.
Thank you Vin, for recognizing that, of course, the is300 wagon is by far the coolest one 12:31 😎
Amy, from one person to another that has been been described as 'quietly optimistic' in their excitement. I get it and it makes me a little happier to know that I have company. 🙂
Haha not everyone is a boisterous idiot like myself
Amy needs to lead all the installations. This is perfect for the channel and more Amy is a bonus, you two are cute together.
Such a great vibe with you two and Amy killed it!
The world needs more mainstream wagon and hatchback content. Simply lovely 😌👌🏼
Loved this, especially for what a better teacher you are than me. It is so difficult to pull off a video like this that ends up as fun, warm, and sweet. Kudos to the team.
BRAT SUMMER IS300! LMFAO
I love this thing actually, the Altezza bits are cool asf
Hahahah thank you for being a smile to my face... I have been going threw some shit.. I have been watching your vids since day one.. Amy you go girl!!! ❤😊😮😂
Your channel brings me joy. Amy is super chill. Respect from Long Island 🤘🏼
Aww Vin is such a good teacher. This was such a wholesome video
A couple that rices together stays together. Family build. Lets go!
I love this video, i love how the way she looks at you near the end, its just beautiful relationship yall have.
I recently saved an 02 sportcross that had been sitting under a tree for the past 4 years. I bought it to flip it but fell in love. I absolutely love this car and am very excited that you guys picked one up. I’m looking forward to this build since they are extremely rare and a ton of fun!

This is such a wholesome video. Amy is adorable.

Smiles all around the board ! Glad you and Amy like the new whip !
I’ve loved the is300 since they came out in high school, once the emissions drops off on them I might have to get one
Heck yeah, that things dope! Excited to see more of it!
Sweet car!! Great job Amy!! Can't wait to see what you do with the car...the white, and wagon have such personality, it looks good on you!✌️
Weekly doses of love, cars, and Champ! Wishing to see more content about this, love to Amy and Champ ❣️
I mean honestly... who wouldn't be mostly looking for Champ?
Good work teacher, learning a clutch takes a lot of time and patients. Amys kicking ass!
That's awesome, can't wait to see what you and Amy do with it.
That was a very wholesome and funny video, Vin. Loved it. I died when Amy ripped that corner 😂
this was so wholesome. the altezza kit is gonna be soooooo mint 👌🏽 please post updates on this build as she does it!
Love your videos, they are just genuinely a great watch! no fake persona's or inflated personalities.
First time I entered an Lexus it was the IS 200.
6gear manual looking at Beeemers on the market.
I loved it direct and later I found the Altezza in Gran turismo.
I talk about 27+year’s ago.
Happy for you and Amy!
I wished my malaysian understand manual gearboxes…
Lexus..the better BMW that time
To be loved is to be seen, y'all are so cool 🥺
You could hear both you and Kado were trying so hard to be serious and not crack laughing every 3 seconds.
More Brandon please, he's a whole vibe
Man she is a great match for you. Happy for you guys. Love how she already knew where the wagon came from. I think she likes it!
Sportcross will always be my ultimate daily, I need one so badd been wanting one forever, can’t wait to see more of it hopefully!
So far you haven't released a bad video, super impressive man. Congrats on the new car Amy!
Kado is a gr86 guy now, no more space for the lexus xDD
nice to see smiles all around
This is awesome for Amy! Excited to see more on this. I'm more of a muscle car guy but I've had two IS300s and regret selling them both, plus the wagon is even cooler and the 6-speed is perfect!
Amy ripping it! Hell Yeah! Vin, the channel keeps getting better every video.
Great episode and great for Amy! You’re doing a great job man.
Kayo! We missed his sweet angelic baby face. Glad to see him doing well.
Great buy for Amy! Sick car, room for Champ and her crafts, and room to customize it the way she wants. Dude it's perfect!
Man you said she couldn't drive, I'd say that's totally untrue, she absolutely killed it!
I just got my licence last month, bought my first car 2 weeks ago ... learned to drive a manual, bought a manual, and actually like it! And yes, I occasionally stall since I don't have the right feel for the clutch in this car yet, it'll come with time!
The faces you guys made taking off from the intersection at 5:31 was absolutely golden! 😂
I love at the end Amy and Vin look terrified at one point as she sends it 😂😂😂
You guys together are the best!! Can't wait to see her drifting - yes I added more!!
so happy for you guys! I've always wanted one of these since I had my old is300
Yeeess!! I S sportcross!! And manny swapped too! This is awesome Vin and congratulations to Amy on the new whip!! 🎉🎉 🎉
❤ That is such a cool wagon, can't wait to see the add ons fitted.
Puppy love!!! Beautiful wagon! Keep up the good work!!
Pretty cool Vin! Your girl seems like she genuinely is excited about the future of the car.
Vin is really on to something here video's have a dope vibe always
Again, just so fun to hang out and see what we all wanted, just time talking cars, goofing around with friends. Livin the dream Vin!
Amy did great, especially new to driving manual! Brandon did a lot of interesting things but that could turn into such a well-rounded car with improved drivability.
Hey, that's my car! So cool. I got it coz I saw Kato rip'n around the burn yard in that. Best car I've ever owned. It's so well engineered. I love it and so will Amy. xoxox
Learning how to drive stick was one of the most fun times of my life when I was a teen, really changed my prospective on the driving experience 👍🏻
Go Amy Go !! Very CQQL Vin love the Lexus Wgns !! 😎👍🏻🙏🦅😇🇺🇸and love your puppy !!🐶
Stoked for more IS Wagon content. This is the perfect car for Amy and Champ!
she is def a keeper! she looked kinda scared to drive the car but once she drives it she is goooooood! CANT WAIT FOR THE CLUTCH MOD
I'm realizing that I sub'd to Hoonigan way back in the day because of the people on camera, and not the name of the channel. This was such a fun one to watch.
Amy's really warming up to the camera. Keep making cool content with her!
Her reactions were adorable and wholesome.
Omg Amy’s face sent me 😂😂😂😂 “I mean that’s a good way to do it if you’re in a panic.”
“Whoa that was sick…” (vin’s eyes about to burst from unexpected launch) 😂
What a fun video! Always glad to see Kado and Jolly!
Patience is key.. great teacher. Love the shift to third. Definitely put a lighter clutch in it. Great daily!!.
Swapping out the MC this week for sure
Awww this whole video was so wholesome!
vin’s face when amy skirted outta that side road was priceless lmaoo
Oh man, I've wanted one of these FOREVER. Even a plain jane, automatic one with just some springs and wheels/tires. They'd make such an awesome daily. I'm 100% jealous.
Go Amy!! I've been trying to teach my wife how to drive my S2000 with a stage 2 clutch. Practice makes perfect!! can't wait to see the burnouts!!
I love this vibe. Well done.
aaaaahhhh Kado bit was so good! this is coool dude!
Oh sweet lord! My second car was this as a sedan, Lexus IS200. Same paint, pearl white. I had sand brown leather interior. Oh how i loved that car. Miss it even today.

A service advisor at my old job had a factory manual, red, speed cross. Love these things
I love seeing Amy!
My fiancé is Filipino and she’s still in the Philippines so I’ll have to teach her how to drive. Mary that beautiful woman.
Man…that’s such a sexy car. And it’s got a MANUAL!? And Amy is so cute, dude. Lol Good for you! Sincerely! Love the vibe of your videos. Keep it up. 🤘🏻 Thanks for bringin genuine quality content!
