Man I love how he keeps the car clean. No wide bodykits. No custom bumpers. Not even any gauges. FOR A 1000HP CAR
He said he keeps it at 700hp
Brendan McCarthy but it’s capable of 1000 when it’s not on low boost mode which is what he said as well
All About: The Sticks ik.. am I supposed to be impressed by a inline 2j making that power? Yeah with a forged bottom end.
That’s old news. All iron blocks can handle a shit ton of power. Cus it’s a hard ass material.
That's why it's called a sleeper. We are not suppose to look at it and guess it's fast
@@brendanmccarthy492 still a 1000 hp car, i dont get your first comment
Dude has a ton of passion and a lot of love for his IS300. What a bad ass ride.
Will L agreed it’s beautiful to see. That’s what it’s all about import or domestic. Passion is where it’s at.
I know Jerry, hes brilliant. Hes not just passionate about his car, with everything else he does, he brings that spark. cool dude
And he is trying to sell it facebook.com/marketplace/item/537934990043418/
not even that same person
I really appreciate the interior. How stock it is. Comfortable. Coo ac. Ton of power.
The owner just as cool as his a/c. Nice car.
Chino Souryavong headass
OG Krillin 😂😂😂😂😂💀😂
Chino Souryavong cool as a fan. Your right.
Chino man you are so right.
Dude went to touch the vent or control and got the push over. Dont touch it bro relax😂
Poor owner, he was hoping to engage him on a more technical level and the host was just like, “yeah wow ok nice setup cool” 😂
Pfff I dont see that. He's interviewing him and his car
typical TRC way. There videos are nothingg but sick dudes, nice, cool, and wow
Haha he was half way through talking about the cylinder head work and gets cut off because the guy was more interested in the air con
@@brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap the guy Larry Chen from hoonigans is even worse than this guy
🤣🤣🤣🤣I thought it was just me
I seriously can't decide if I love the car, or it's owner more! Such a breath of fresh air to see such an amazing build. And the owner is down to earth, extremely intelligent and knowledgeable!
This guy looks like he's a beach bum but then starts spitting albert Einstein car knowledge... love sleeper car owners lol
Jake RS lol
Exactly, its like a beach bum with a PHD in sleeper cars
Could you imagine this man walking up to you like “I got a 1000hp car race me!” You’re sitting there laughing then you get left
how he even remembers every little fkin mod, and what it does
Don't judge a book by it's cover im sure ya heard that before lol :D
Gandalf the grey has the dopest IS300.... and he knows his car from the ground up. Big fan of the IS300. Love it....
What else do you want guys? A nice, clean build. Very nice set up, with a well spoken owner talking very proud about his badass car!! Well done TRC!
Andres Luzunaris factual statement
Drift it 🤷♂️
@@clutchkickpj693 Real talk!
This car set up is AWESOME 😎
@@clutchkickpj693 underpowered cars are for drifting, this thing was created to run quarter miles
It's funny watching the dude cringe every time he hears "2J Swap." It's like a visual of what toyota nerds are feeling lol.
I'm glad i wasn't the only one that noticed...
haha i also noticed that
I'm so glad you said it, can't be a swap if it was already in there stock
I didn't see any cringing. He said swap once and then later the guy clarified it's the GE? Wheres the cringing and stuff I wanna see that
But the guy also said it only had 140 stock incorrect or comes with 207 HP stock
It's good to hear he's using a GE block instead of GTE swapping like the other is300 sheep. FFIM and a big turbo, cams, v160 with driveshaft and call this a day. There's so much more to this car though! great job on the build jesus!
I drive a 2004 IS300. This almost exactly how I want my car to be. This guy built it right. Wow.
Good luck bro
same, maybe 1J instead 😰
Jonathan Flexiko yes! 1j
Why 1j
doomie77 a lot cheaper usually
From all the details this guy gave us I was waiting for him to tell us the name of the quarry all the metals came from
Yes, yes. I really really want to like him but he goes past informative to just fucking bragging. But, I've had a bad day so maybe he's awesome. Oh, I didn't catch it.... did Head Games do the head? I'm just not sure.
Nah a true race nerd likes details. Half the company's and parts went straight over your head because you don't have interest in building racecars. And the whole point of these videos is to "brag"😂. You haven't even met the man.
@@rufus7376 Yes HeadGames did it
I Am lol See the point of my comment was just to be sarcastic due to the amount of details that were given. See now that went straight over Your head.
@@GyatBori Yeah man you got me im not sarcastically intelligent. cheers
Damn, this is way more attractive than the new A90 Supra
That's a fact!! It is hideous lol I don't understand all the hoopla about a Z5 BMW
Don't you mean the new Alfa Romeo
A fucking early 80s box van is better looking that the a90
The Toyota engine in this car is all you need.
Isaac Definitely!!!!
This video makes me proud to drive a 2JZ... even to this day and with all these new technology cars coming out. The reason we own a car is because the engine gets us to where we want to go... that’s the heart❤️and emphasis... NOT the Apple carplay!! Buying cars based on looks and technology features and not reliable tough engines...that’s a joke! Thanks for the vid! You found one of THE MOST passionate guys out there!
I 100% agree. I can’t stand all this tech they are stuffing in new cars and jacking up the prices. It’s disgusting what they have done to trucks particularly. Cruise control, power seats and windows, radio, heated seats, DONE. Don’t need all the other goofy shit.
Love mine…One of my clients has a cherry 🍒 red 2004… stock… if she ever wants to sell. 🥴🤞🏽
@@ebonyr4204 you know where to find me! 😄 you know I love stock! Also red is ❤️ awesome! I really want a manual one.
@@MPowerSubie12 You still own the black one? Thats wild.
@@TutorialsMinecraft2 nope some idiot rear ended me on the highway and ran away from the accident on 75 in Dallas in a sudden traffic stop and broad daylight on Saturday noon back in 6/2018. I was devastated but have found a whole new array of cars after.
Car is perfect. Drivable, not overkill and that sound can't me beat in my opinion.
Is300's dont get near the credit they should. Very cool car
04dram04 and is200’s😉🤣
I have one. Love it!
I absolutely love my is300
Same for some reason our cars the is300/is200 arnt really popular but i still love mines
That's why they are perfect for sleeper builds underrated and deadly
Aarrggh! Stop saying it's 2jz swapped! IS300 are 2jzge from the factory. The owner even says it in the video.
People either do a full swap, As in they find a 2jz-gte to replace the ge with. Or they just turbo the ge. People also will do a gte bottom end swap. Still a swap.
he said 2jzge which is bullshit.... or he doesnt no, thatsss not the stock 2jz NA the is300 came with....
clearly its a 2jzgte vvti swap
The way the guy is saying it "2jz swap" is like he knows nothing about the car. It's factory 2jz. Not gte swapped. A built NA 2jz to handle boost. If he blows a motor and puts another 2jz in it doesn't make it a "swapped 2jz".
@DeevoxL 4:38 it's the original engine.
Pho TWENTY Obviously it’s been turboed but it’s still the same 2jz ge that came with the car
Jesus drove a 1027hp Lexus.
."oh yeah...."
More like "Jesus built my hot rod" -Ministry.
That’s why it’s so god like huh😂😂😂😂😂
Hondakid64 wrong! It was a mustang gt
No, he was more of a Honda guy. John 12:49 "For I did not speak of my own accord"
A 4 door supra you can take you and some friends to Vegas. What a Dream daily. I hope he keeps it clean like this
So happy you guys interviewed him finally. Super cool dude. Taken a lot of inspiration for my 1.5jz is300 build from him
The giant TURBO badge on the trunk just screams "sleeper"
It's like reverse psychology
I could be wrong but it looks like a Porsche Cayenne Turbo badge
Facts i love his car
Ricey AF
I know I can imagine how many mustangs Mitsubishi and bmw owners try to race him
Listening too him talk about his baby made my night amazing car
Finally an is300😍😍😍
Dany Phantom hell yeah!
He didn’t want my mans to the touch the a/c😂😂
You know it's well built when you can daily it on "baby mode" and still make 760hp reliably, crazy car and awesome owner
It's like a Supra and an EVO made a baby...and then that baby was lost and raised by effing wolves.
What's a effing
@@zthreetwo9874 he means fucking
WHATTTTTT hahaha
Could not have said it better my friend
Wolves ftw
I wish there was a “love” button 😍🤤
Always wanted one of these because of the potential and this guy reached a whole nother level with this build what a machine man. Respect
This is an amazing build. Hands down my favorite jz build of all time, might not be the highest hp but the amount of love this dude put into his car is inspiring.
shoutout to lance. made this guy his dream car. gotta love it
Last person I would think to own a JDM import. 👊
This is the domestic rendition, the Toyota Altezza is the JDM import
yea i would have pegged him for a 50's lead sled
That’s not a jdm import
Glad to see Jerry kept this beast and has turned it up even more. I remember coming across his channel back in like 06 when he was making around 600 and falling in love with it.
Love this guy. One of the most random features in a while. Passionate about his car and it shows.
Back when I first started turning wrenches at a shop around 19 years old this guy needed an alignment done on his Lexus IS300. I went for a test drive around the block and immediately fell in love. I love the way they look, drive, and feel. My attraction to them over the years fell off, but this brought it all back. All around great car.
I had a 2003 black onyx Sport Design 5 spd for 15 years. Always love the look of this car. This one is a beauty.
Rob zombie loves his Lexus
Papi the Don Rogillio yess
Miss the old "simple" Lexus design.
@Spencer 7445 i made a joke saying that all new cars have botox in the face😂😂😂i hate that
the xe1 is one of the prettiest small sedans ever made. i even prefer it to the e46.
the 2nd gen IS350 body looks slick in it's own unique way too.
I love my 05 is300 it's so simple and has that big body toyota sedan look i love it
You can blame the media for calling old lexus stying "boring"
“I’ve had this car move on me from third to fourth gear on... kill.” This dude is hilarious 😂
Levi Dickey lol
lol a car with 300+hp could do that on the same skinny ass tires as this car lmao
GBA MOBB 10” rims are not skinny 😂
@@thatcleanjce1049 and I said 10" tires dumbass h doesn't have 10" rims otherwise would have much wider tires,my rims are 8.5 and have 255 on them stock
Nick_ Campas yeah look at the meat on them. My 350hp 400 tq lt1 would roast them through 3rd gear no problem.
Obviously this car is hugely impressive on every single level, but as a fellow IS300 Turbo owner I think I'm most impressed by the fact it's running the stock IS300 LSD! That's insane, and makes me breathe a bit easier about mine which only has to deal with a pitiful-in-comparison 342 wtq! Kudos for a truly well executed IS300 build!
I have no idea what he's talking about...But I just nod my head to the king of IS 300's.
I guess 1000+ hp is the norm nowadays.
Only on the internet
Norm yes but as you can see it’s more sensible to turn it down to 700.
Nah the norm is still 300-500hp tbh but no one wants to see that racing nowadays so car better be 800hp+ or ppl aren't going to drool over it now's unfortunately
tjsavage711 damn near.
ClutchkickPJ
Stock 8 cylinders come with 450+ stock. Slap a S/C and you’re at 700!
Low boost at 23 psi 👀
Yeh for 40psi that is 50% lol
Lmfao was thinking the same thing
NA-T, just shared this video on the SC page on FB for the non-believers. Thank you for this video, subscribed.
Knowledge in this guy about his car and his car parts is insane.
Jerry is the man that originally got me into the IS300 scene from his YT videos! Still has it I see! An amazing build she is!
Thats right. More flow, higher volumetric efficiency-the point of max torque output. That's a must on these lower displacement blocks which are so much easier to handle when you put 500lb. Ft. At 3-4k. As opposed to a 6.2 GM putting 750hp 750lbs. Ft. Stock.
A proper 2j is a monster on the highway any way you cut it.
Okay this is what I'm talking about
This might be my favorite interview yet. I can only hope I'm a quarter as cool as this guy when I'm older. Super knowledgeable and laid back.
Y’all don’t understand how excited I got when I saw the title and thumbnail. I have a manual 03 IS300, just amazing. Want to do something like this in the future. This is convincing me now.
A salute to the Tuner Car culture with an attache briefcase strapped across the chest. This car is available in standard transmission and factory yellow paint, awesome option! Lexus was building market popularity and making a statement while competitors focused on big motors and bloated bodies.
xrmerkur dude rcfs offered in yellow too! New supra is disappoint, but the lexus stuff is where its at chief.
ImRIckJames , Supra will take some time getting use to.
This is what happens when florida man gets his hands on a 2jz.
Anthony Jones Lmao
I was expecting a douche-bro with a flat brim hat, not this chill dude. He knows his stuff and is passionate. Awesome car!
this is the way cars should be made today not this bs non manual cars worth a shit ton for ugliness
Yes they're built to break basically and make it hard to work on
If this car had a dual clutch itd be a whole lot faster
@Tim Winchester getting smoked in a race is never fun
I've always wanted to do one of these, the versatility of that car being a 4dr rwd and great engine and trans.
All the basic amenities and they are easy to find for cheap, now that I've seen it built so well, I can die happy knowing someone in the world did it this well, with such passion.
This is the dopest build i have seen in a while!⚡
The sound homer from the Simpsons makes when he is thinking about donuts is the same drooling sound I'm making thinking about this Lexus. Damn this car is sick. 😷
6:24 turn off a/c for 1000hp
A/c turns off at full throttle
Smart man. That’s how you blow a compressor clutch.
These have always been my favorite 2jz natural born is300s
Love what he did, its clean, simple and just looks like came out the factory with 1027hp. Crazy hes original owner, sad he letting it go.
The realest, baddest is3 in the game. Well done sir, very well done.
damn this 2j sounds meaner than others
Probably due to being a ge block and ge vvti head 😇👍
@@trdturbois3005 has nothing to do with sound 🤦♂️
Sounds exactly like every other high hp 2j...
@@clutchkickpj693 the sound of a Rb though 😍
@@clutchkickpj693 the comment was damn this 2j SOUNDS meaner than others lol
So what else is there that makes this 2j sound meaner? As per to your expertise
There's minor but still obvious sound differences in between a built ge vvti, a built vvti gte, and a built non vvti gte
I got a 2003 altezza, love this build. Really cool
Take a shot every time he says "on kill". Amazing car btw. Clean!
I’m a Subie man myself but I ABSOLUTELY love this Lexus! Beautiful car inside and out!
When he said it's the original IS300 2JZ-GE I was blown away, I never thought it had this capability 🤯
No that's definitely "Whistler" from Blade...
WWJD (What Would Jesus Drive)
Jesus drove a Honda but did not talk about it.
John 12:49 "For I did not speak of my own Accord"
😆
I have the 1jz jdm version of this car. 2001 Mark 2 . Same chassis different bumpers.
Yes I know the Altezza is the actual JDM counterpart but the Mark 2 shares the chassis , driveline as well as suspension
no you wrong you suck. I like those alot tho, I have a 02 is300 manual w/lsd im gonna build the shit out of it I hope.
First Lexus I seen like this I believe this man holds a record
No s***, this is the most awesome supercar I have ever seen. The original looks, so clean. The yellow tires and breaks are an amazing feature, settle but vissible at the same time. Aannnndddd the sound. Man... fml. That guy is a lengend. love it
Literally perfect sleeper, 4 digit power, bone stock interior!
Damn Magnus Walker got out of the Porsche game?
OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!! like how the driver knows his cars.
Sleeper car owners are awesome. This guy knows his stuff too, which makes him legit af.
This guy is like myself in 15 years... quality build done over time...you can tell he knows his car like a family member
That’s what i call luxury car 🤩
*_This is a real sleeper._*
*_So sick_*
Of course that dudes name is Jerry
This will decimate all. F&F. Great build and sounds awesome even not in the tunnel 👌
I Love how right before the pull he just quick turns AC off XD 6:24
Never judge a person by the way they LOOK 😎😎
Try explaining that to women.
Didn't know Jesus was this cool or had an is300
Dude, Jesus is exactly this cool! Anyways, tons of respect to this guy.
Damn THIS IS THE GOAL FOR MY IS300 💜 this build
You better have 30k plus lmao. Other then interior and exterior body stock the rest is completely custom
@@Rnfjaydee With 7 main bearings and a forged steel crank standard, there is not much needed to the bottom end of the engine.
I just got a 15 year old is300 with the NA 2jz. Slick, fast, handles. Lots want a turbo and more power to you, but the NA has plenty of power. Awesome car.
Ripping a bunch of donuts was a perfect way to end that video. Great footage! LIKED!
Its like if jesus and Santa had a son with a car addiction and I love it
Jerry is a legend! Awesome !
Tbh I would rather have an IS300 over a Supra
noriceformeplz I loved my is300 bro it was my first car in high school. I bought it at 156 thousand miles and it was the smoothest driving thing I’d ever been in, you couldn’t even feel the tranny shift gears. I gave that car hell and never really knew anything about 2j’s til it was gone now I wish I would have never sold it. I blew it up around 400k from not changing the oil for over 100k.
Tanner187 97 thats crazy! I have a 2001 with 165k and still runs like brand new
Bstimpy22 it’s just getting good and broke in. Take care of it, keep the oil changed and it’ll last forever. I even ran mine hot around 240k miles from my radiator being busted and it still had no effect on the performance.
@@bstimpy2227 litearllly same haha i have a 01 and about 164 k miles
Would yall recomend the is300 a good start for a project car?
I love the first close up shot of the trunk like look "a battery!"
Put this on *saved*, I like the how this was put together
He straight said it's time for me to move on to a Lambo haha. Obviously he got some dough, and obviously he loves his IS, so why not just keep it AND get a Lambo?! Cuz even though that build was undoubtedly expensive, you ain't gonna get Lambo money for it when you sell it...
He would be lucky to get 30k
The trans is worth 8k at least. drop this in a supra and it would be worth 100k
@@Tattooed_lowlyfe lol you noobs don't know shit bout cars huh? he's most likely put over 70k into building this car
You don’t hit 700hp without 25k minimum
@shawn don doesn’t mean he’s gonna sell it for the stock price, most certainly he can sell it for around the same amount of money he put into it, you guys forgot about labour.
Definitely not a sleeper lol. You can hear the fuel pump a mile away
LOL OKAY she does have a built race car. So that’s good 👍🏾
eeeeeeaaahhhhhrrrrrrrrrr lol
@@BoostDreamer that is actually a sleeper but its just builted like the perfect street lexus tho.
6:37 “ speed limit 45”
*flores it*
love that has "stock" look instead of showing ..."check me out", no gauges nothing weird, which is great
I don’t know anything he is talking about but that’s a sweet ass ride!!
2jz upgrade. Not swap. #2JZ-GE ftw
Brandon M. Ramos YES
It is swapped, that’s a 2jz-gte vvti turbo, the is300 comes with a 2jz but it isn’t turbo
@@matthewkohmann8657 4:31 That's not Brandon's point. Typically people fully swap the car from the GE to a GTE from an Aristo, Chaser, etc. All that Jerry and his buds did was swap the existing GE valve covers to the GTE valve covers so that it can look like a GTE. The GE has the intake manifold on top of the valve cover
Alexio Cabanero ah I see, i thought they did the whole swap lol
If it was a gte the upper radiator hose would go to the exhaust side of the head
“On KIYULL”

Take a shot every time he says it
11:30 when he utters under his breath “Dude you told me!”. Nooooooooooo
He said "Do a u-turn" which he did a couple seconds after
Guy is straight Cali. It's a compliment.
Has to be one of if not the most impressive GE. Congrats!!
