Yooo lmao I just traded my low miles swapped Acura integra for a 03 Is300 last week and I’m honestly loving it I’ve already got full toe camber lower and upper control arms Megan coilovers like you stated cx racing turbo kit (about to buy a new turbo this one is toast) and I just got mk4 Supra injectors/fuel rail working on getting fuel pump as well.

Tip: IS300 manual trans are known to suck, most say the auto trans even hold up better lol, but its all worth it because they come stock with 2JZ, and there's plenty of aftermarket support for trans upgrades.
Dude what are you talking about, manuals come with a stock w55, people love the manual and it's good for about 400 to 450 hp max, only thing is300 owners complain about with it is the sound it makes switching gears.
@@GothShine There's a well known consensus that the manual trans are weak. Ironically the automatic trans is a lot more reliable and holds more power. Why do you think the 370z/350z transmission swap is so popular?
I mean it’s the GE that was way underpowered than what it could have been, turboing to NA-T would put you to a similar cost and more of a headache to install rather than swapping the gte in from an aristo
First of all the stock wheels look better than those wheels second of all don’t weld the diff everybody regrets it just get a LSD third, I agree with the style of body kit Fourth, put a six speed in it because the stock transmission auto or manual won’t do any good for drifting
these have a limited slip diff.. do not weld them. that and coilovers all you need to drift? 😅 ok bro what about stiffer sway bars and links to go with em. maybe an angle kit🤔 everything else you listed would be wasted money if your car can’t drift. you’d want more power for sure so at least include cold air intake and some headers with high flow cats if you’re gonna bring up exhaust 🤷♂️

To get an actual crazy is300 you easily go into 30k plus in parts lmfaoo 2jzgte and a good transmission =money⬇️
agreed, endless opportunities
Just buy your own turbo to save money, no need to swap the 2JZ-GE with a GTE one
@@thepcuser5469the ge is only good for about 300hp

Why would you build a drift car and not know how to drift🤦🏽♂️common sense. Use your fucking head
Thanks for this vid 🙏 I’ve been looking for an is300 for a while now
Good luck finding one for this price homie. They’re ridiculous now.
For the love of God do not follow any advice you saw in this video

The trans are fine up until 350ish hp, where its very hit or miss. I own a 02 Manual and for a daily its perfect, but big power its not gonna last 😂

Stiffer front sway bar and better spring rates than that junk are highly recommended.
Also no angle kit is wild these cars kind of suck stock.

This dude need to let buddy have his own lane. We can’t keep anything !!
Do not weld the diff bad idea
Why
cant turn
bro just wants to make it look nice, what about a new differential and some more power
Please do one for Scion TC 2010
Welded diff is not good for daily or track. It prevents the wheels from turning at different speeds. You don’t know what you’re talking about 💀

Where you find a is for 4k
I have an is 300, but it has a lot of hail dents. Any chance you know how to pop them out?
How you going to drift with no power bro you forgot the twin turbo
This is a beginner setup, and a built 2jz-gte, LS, or coyote would be $10k +
This is assuming you can do all the work yourself right?
U don't need to weld the diff. Is come with lsd
do it 200sx plz I BEG YOUU
How about spending a few dollars on a good microphone?

A crazy drift build? Close. So close. Butttttt not really
Instead of welding the dif which is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard. You could buy a non slip diff. Then you’ll drift like a champ
