Brother absolutely stunning job! I’m a longtime Lexus owner over 20 years. Purchased my IS-F new in 2011 absolutely love it FBO tuned e30 with FIGS Engineering, RR Racing suspension components and power train modes. I have two suspensions KWV3 for track days and Airride suspension for the street. 175k plus miles later its still running strong with just usual service requirement’s engine and transmission no issues whatsoever and it’s been tracked at Limerock in CT, New Jersey Motorsports Parkway NJ, Monticello Raceway in NY, Atco and Englishtown. DD from the suburbs of Westchester county to New York City for 10 years I was looking to pick up RC-F but over the last few months I’ve really been gravitating towards the LC 500. To really appreciate the LC 500 you have to see it in person, drive it. Are their faster cars out there? Yes but here’s the thing to me It’s more about the driving experience at this point for me. It’s not numbers car 0-60 1/2 mile etc it’s experience car. How does it make you feel when you’re behind the wheel taking it for a drive? does it put a smile on your face? Lexus engineering built this car for the owner to have great driving experience. Some thing many other car manufacturers have forgotten it’s all about the numbers now who has the fastest car, who can stop in the shortest distance, who has the max amount of tech. But they forget at the end of the day it’s really all about how the car makes you feel. It’s fantastic GT car which is what I’m looking for. I just might pull the trigger on LC-500. Make it FBO tuned, some suspension modes with bit of tasteful carbon fiber parts with the right rims and tires just like your LC-500 and you have yourself an extremely unique rare and fun to drive car that you could own for years without having to worries about long term reliability as well have car you don’t see everyday.
That's awesome man! The LC is a special vehicle. I've also owned an IS F and RC F. My RC F was FBO tuned and I miss it sometimes because it was a bit smaller and lighter, but driving the LC is just a very different experience. It feels as special as a supercar, the materials used along with the design are nothing short of Aston Martin. It gets plenty of attention. Then you get the comfort, reliability, and value of Toyota/Lexus. The sound is spectacular - probably one of the best sounding V8s on the market, specifically because it was tuned by Yamaha like the LFA. I don't see myself ever selling this car unless it significantly increases in value one day, which I wouldn't be surprised if it did. But you're absolutely right, it's hard to understand why someone would buy one of these based on the numbers and competition. You have to drive it and understand the emotions it evokes.
Looks great bro. I was just about to suggest going coils in the front. But that air will take care of all that. The dark color car with the exposed carbon fiber in the front is the best way to do it. Great job 👏🏽
Thats sick dude. I have a few questions. Does the aftermarket exhaust void the warranty? Do you have any mods that increase HP? And how much HP can you get out of the naturally aspirated engine?
Love what you've done to the car. I'm looking into an elate supercharger for the RC. Have you noticed an unusually loud HPFP chirping noise yet? Mine was super loud coming back from Sonoma Raceway and it's been like that ever since. I have to add Amsoil upper engine lubricant to the fuel at every fill up now.
Has anyone seen how Arabs can ruin a beautiful Rolls Royce with orange stripes or astro turf? Sometimes gotta accept the cars beautiful from the factory. Slick, slippery and gorgeous LC500
@@marcuschan6037 ain't no real car enthusiasts will Rice their cars to look cool. It's all about performance mods. Go play that need for speed game and watch fast and furious movie goofy 🤪
To be fair, isn't a lighter, vented hood a performance mod in a way? Wouldn't the spoiler make the wheels stickier? Suspension is important too! IDK about the aesthetic, but to each their own... And I guess in this case it's not for you? Lol beautiful car, would I do the same thing? probably not but that's what makes cars exciting to some people, no need to knock it.

Sweet, following the build thanks for posting!
One of the best lc500 builds 🏆

🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is so cool 😎
Nice build bro ❤🔥❤🔥
Thanks!
What mirror caps are those? They look sick.
Tooo clean!!
How did you like the Tein's overall before switching? How much worse was the ride?
You need hood latches for that CF Hood. The stock ones ain’t going to cut it.
Thats sick dude. I have a few questions.
Does the aftermarket exhaust void the warranty?
Do you have any mods that increase HP? And how much HP can you get out of the naturally aspirated engine?
Thanks man! Exhaust won’t void warranty.
E85 tune increases HP. You can see my previous video for dyno. Pushing around 440whp

Interesting, I haven't heard of that. How long have you been running e85 and how long has the chirping been on?
@@cartune_netwerk I'm only on pump gas since 85 is kinda hard to find. Chirping started at 85k miles. I'm at 96k now.
Not bad for 70k miles!
We want a 0 to 60 video

that crack at start up tho, what did u do to get it? :OOO Mine doesn't crack that hard
How does the car feel after the tune? Does it make it more sporty?
Yes, definitely faster!
Which phone holder?
Nice toys, nice house, wow. What occupation are you currently in if I may ask??
Thanks! I work in tech
Cool! Did you go to school for computer science? I currently work in production for a tech company and I am hoping to pivot.
Yeah my major was MIS. Try to get certified in something to make the transition easier
How much power increase has the tune given
About 35whp. My last video has dyno results
Would headers help add anymore power on these?
With a tune. The less the restrictions, the better.
21 or 22? I am debating which ones to get.
These are 22, but I think 21s are a better setup. Eventually I’ll look into 21s or maybe get a skinnier tire
@@cartune_netwerk i get it
Boost it
dechrome the grille asap
yikes, way to ruin a 100k Lexus by ricing it up
How you felt after saying that 👺
