Love the cars. Out of my Crown Athlete VX JZS171 and this I prefer the 2GR fse especially the Interior but not many manual box conversions available like for my spec bigger turbo 1JZGTE , I was lucky also to have driven a rare Toyota Cesior/Lexus 4.3 V8 BLITZ twin supercharged with some pals there in Japan. Looking forward to a K20 k24 swap build after owning an Civic EP3 Type R I shortly owed a Honda CRX Del Sol before for long enough time that would be a cheap fun project to combine both , especially after AWD conversion and 800hp !!! Gunning on !!

This model in my opinion is a monster, and I mean that in the best possible way. I have enormous respect for the LS. My color scheme would be very different, but you did good.

Your right front strut mount looks like it's installed incorrectly. The little dot on the mount should point to the outside from what I've learned.

From what I am hearing is all 2013+ LS460 have these engine issues. Stay far away from the LS460. Has nothing to do with the mileage of this car or how well it was or not kept. Go watch the 'Car Care Nut' who is a mechanic with 1 million subs and talks about these LS460's.

I have followed him for years and of course he made that video right after I needed it lol in the midst of repairs. Dealt with the same stuff. The ISF is the same engine setup and I had one too, the valley plate leaks and the DI injectors go bad

I just got a 2010 LS 460 AWD with 180,000 on it. I fell in love with it the first time I drove it. It just drives like it wants to be driven hard. I did put some k&n air filters, and replace the cabin filter. Definitely needed. Vacuum a bunch of look like chipmunk or mice stuff out of the air box.. everything seems to be running great on mine. Sure yours will be awesome as well.. One stop hiccup is fixed.

It's twin-turbo V6 is BLOWING UP ! Crankshaft Main Bearing Failure! Just like the 2022 on up Tundra. Even happening to twin-turbo V6 equipped Lexuses in Japan and Saudi Arabia.

You should care more how to bring more fresh air inside the air filter box from the bumper, a hole and a bass sound won't give you anything in power-torque-mileage.

When a car is this reliable, who needs to worry about engine failures? Oh yeah, Toyota just announces a recall and a stop sell on the Tundra. This GX uses the same engine.

2003 are solid - a different engine without port injection and a timing belt instead of a chain, so it needs to be changed every 100k. Definitely check for lights and codes, and rust

Just a PSA for anyone watching. There is no "4th gen IS". The 2021-present IS is a pretty substantial refresh of the 3rd gen, but... having owned three ISes of the 3rd gen, a 2016, a 2021 and a 2023, I would say they're all the same car. The interior layout, engine bay, etc. are all the same.
