Oh thanks for the correction! I definitely need to go back and make an updated version of these older ones! I miss researching and talking about these!
@Polymer Tools I'm so peanut butter and jealous... the prices for is300's here with a stock motor and clean title is insane, oh and less than 200k miles.. commonly find salvage title ones for about 7k or less. or 350k miles body with 150k miles motor.. will find one. by the end of this year this channel will have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd get one that's a promise
got the unicorn in 2012. graphite pearl with black interior, 5 speed manual, LSD. It's no longer stock (impossible to be at this point). Did BC 264 cams, exhaust cam gear, JOE-Z intake, Dezod green headers (i'm sure the cats will need cutting out and replacing), and I intend to do a 304SS custom cat back exhaust with likely a stockish magnaflow muffler. replaced heavy flywheel and clutch with the N/A supra clutch (shaving 25 lbs and saving me $3000). Have koni orange shocks with eibach lowering springs (a mild 1" drop). Still running stock rims. Need to replace a shit ton of suspension bushings. All these mods gave me a dyno of ~220 whp and 218 ft-lbs tq (increase of nearly 40 at the wheels). She's nearly mint inside and out, did have to respray the hood and do a new front bumper when junk fell of some truck on the free way. Currently 165,xxx miles. All this to say: i've been offered $15K sight unseen and passed it up. Nobody who has these things and kept them clean is selling them for honda civic prices. Good luck my dudes.
I hear you about finding a clean one now a days. Lucky for me I’ve owned mine for 20 years and it’s hands down the cleanest in the county maybe even SoCal 🤣😂😭. I’m just talking trash but it’s a super clean example OEM+ check my videos 👍🏾
if you live in Socal would I be able to actually get a video with you, Collab? love to get more insight for the community! your pros and cons a couple videos of your clean ride!
@@Soltor1974 love to go this weekend but not available in the morning. I love OC Cars and coffee!! yeah it be great was planning to go next weekend! saving for some better equipment but mostly car reviews! Id love to give more in depth information!
@@Soltor1974 lets Id be down for Cars and Coffee next weekend in OC we can hit up a place after here is my email!! thedomrchannel@gmail.com next weekend sounds perfect!
@@ModdedMotors yes. Frustrating but understandable! Jealous you have the GTE swap!! Goals! 💯🚗 I gotta get some of the stories from you! Need to know your pros and cons!
@@dvmedia137 lol yea trying to buy is annoying but the right deal will come around. Florida has some good prices on GTE swaps, I usually hunt every state. I’m in Texas and that’s where I found my deal, had it shipped to me. Absolutely brotha, I also VVTI swapped my old MK4 Supra, so definitely have some valuable tips. Just followed you on IG , feel free to ask away 🙌🏽
@@ModdedMotors you have some amazing footage and great insight followed back 🙇🏻 I’ll set some time to ask some questions. Wow love the cars on your page! -impressed!
@@dvmedia137 Yeah, this car is very good in drivability. I and my brother have two IS200 almost identical cars: 99" year, 1C0 lacquier, sedans, 1g-fe engines, 6-gears manuals gearboxes (it is very rare, because a lot of cars have 4-gears automatic transmissions), same interiors (blue colour, alcantare and leather seats), and very smilar equipment (rich options), but I have version with navigation (but not work, because i have prelift version, so now is not available DVD disc with maps to this monitor) and sunroof, but my brother have premium audio - Mark Levinson, and life would be too beautiful if we had a limited slip differential, so we both have a full open diff unfortunately. I highly recommend this car to everyone, but unfortunately it is very difficult to find a good and well-kept copy, and even more difficult to find parts for them, so if you are going to buy such a car, I recommend choosing one of the more expensive copies, because if you think that you can fix minor defects yourself, you are wrong like me, because you can double the cost of the car, because the parts for these cars are either very expensive or not available at all. And don't wait too long with it, because in my country, the prices of these cars have almost doubled over the last 3 years, because once these cars were treated as drift rubble, just like BMWs.
opps I guess I might have been super nervous at the time. now and days I haven't really done my personal reviews of cars in a while. might start again. but wasn't happy with the direction at the time. hey you learn :)
@@dvmedia137 The car has a 2jz-ge, Inline 6 cylinder, 3.0 liters in your video you stated it had an inline 4. Is300 only came with a 2jz-GE, one of the key selling points of the car.
@@dvmedia137 I am not going to educate you...but you shouldn't be doing these videos if you can't get your facts straight. 2JZ GE 3.0 inline SIX!!!! Watch your video and listen to yourself you will see.
I got my 05 is300 white manual for $3500 back in 2017 and still driving it! I enjoy driving this car even tho I can now afford any car.
Absolutely the is300 is still an amazing machine and to this day is classic! I really wanted to pull the trigger the prices are just way too high
You gave the 2j specs when you said the i4 but we got the gist.
Oh thanks for the correction! I definitely need to go back and make an updated version of these older ones! I miss researching and talking about these!
Its an inline 6, not 4
On what part? There is a inline 4 turbo version and the rs200 was a inline 4??

@@dvmedia137 yeah what ⬆️ he said!
@@dawsonlo6685 👍🏻👍🏻
@domsreviewschannel6753 You definitely called it an inline 4.
i want this whip all stock . this probably everyones dream car .
I'm looking budgets less than 8-10k clean title and lower than 150k. its tough, I don't mind the automatic either.. good taste:)
Got my 01 is300 for 800 just look around
