2001 Lexus IS300 Altezza: Multi-purpose Build!

Hello everyone,
We have a returning guest with us and this time he brought us his luxuries and daily driver Lexus Altezza! Such a rad build with a lot aesthetic modifications. We never realized how much support this car has from many companies. It also makes us want to pick up one to daily. Well, his 2001 IS is a great platform for many to begin their build. The car already comes with a nice powerplant and I am sure there is tons and tons of aftermarket support. I hope you all enjoy the story behind this awesome build as much as we did. Make sure to check out Eryck's business when you get a chance. #automotiveanatomy

You could tell the owner's passion for this vehicle, cool that it was passed down from family as well. Would be cool to see him get it on track and eventually put a stick shift if he wants to get it away from commuter duties.

Facts on top of facts

1990-2005 best time to be alive

[@fsega3669]

I think you mean best time to be alive if you were between the ages of 16-30 during those years

[@johnconnor2402]

Always wanted an IS300 ever since they came out but it never happened for me unfortunately. I always look at these lovingly when I see them on the road.

[@noduh736]

Hey man I picked mine up with less than 100k clean straight with 2 sets of new tires for 1000$ you would be surprised how many people that have one don't think its worth 10 gs

[@lltysonll]

I used to have a manual sport design. One of the best cars I've owned.

[@yzxa_zink6478]

I had a auto sport design and no one every believe me that they made a special car like them

[@oldskool1979]

2001 - The year the world changed ! Nice ride.

[@elfocker]

My 2005 IS300 has 269k miles and runs like a dream. Daily driver.

[@dissipated3000]

holy fuck man the build is so clean the white is just *chefs kiss. shoutout to grandma fr

[@ISIDORO.]

I bought an is300 as my first car 2 years ago and it was supposed to be a beater and its surprised me with how much i have abused it and it handles it like a tank im so glad i chose this platform to be my first one to learn to modify cars lol

[@mikeysbladeworks1000]

These are hard. Enjoyed this. Also really enjoyed his enthusiasm about the car. Love the chargespeed bits.

[@carlonclarke2790]

I have an 01 is300 with 260k miles nd I still love her like she’s brand new, very great car nd very pretty😍

[@ef_danielsan]

great vid. I don't think you've ever had a more passionate or educated guest on your channel. He knows every detail about his car and has a great reason why for every part he's put in.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thank you Daniel. Yes, Eryc is super passionate about his car and that is what makes it even more awesome!

[@Dcdc956]

I drove my friends is300 and was blown away at how comfortable it was. Damn

[@TrVlogs82]

These are dope cars this girl I know had one it was a yellow one. I wish she still had it.

[@bendmall4341]

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

We agree!

[@kingnorlen]

Must have a manual box from a is200 sport, it would wake-up like theres no tomorrow!

[@Genevagirls-h2x]

supra!

[@comet30265]

Nice video, pretty cool it’s stayed in the family this long.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

It sure is!

[@skkrrtskrrt1470]

Those are nice cars very tough maintenance like everything else pretty reliable if you're looking for gas mileage everybody this is a performance car entry level good gas mileage is an afterthought if you can't afford the gas don't buy the car I've had mine for many years more recently bought a second no strange problems like all the new cars coming out if anybody has a problem with their climate control not working correctly there's a little a plug-in device that's inside the unit by the grill I'm talking about in the cabin in the Dash if that's the problem then buy a new unit the two foot of wire that may come with it or get it out of a junk vehicle but don't install it where it is in the car unplug it plug in your new wire and plug climate control controller I don't know what to call it it's smaller than a credit card put wires plug into it anyways disconnect the other one and leave it behind the glove box in case something goes wrong again and the system will work just fine you don't have to take the AC unit apart Tube replacement wires are on the outside of the box your new unit will sit outside of the box in the cabin temperature area that saved me a lot of money the part can be found online about 40 bucks I have a spinal fusion from a car accident it doesn't make my driving unpleasant all the other cars we're hard driving

[@herbertsungahid]

He was late to the fast and furious days.

[@rhonyportillo129]

Sick IS , looking forward to seeing maybe an FA5 feature in the channel sometime soon 🤧

[@derekbrown5428]

Do you have a mod list you can post please?

[@pablogates5355]

i need it too

[@user-A-A-RON]

Put a 2JZ in that bad boy! 😅

[@topheavyteggy8232]

I think it already comes with a 1j just needs a turbo

[@noduh736]

It has a 2j

[@witsang3258]

so no one noticed him say 2 door is300

[@ThatsDT]

I’m debating if I should purchase one of these is300 in manual or sportcross or 350z ?. Even though is300 and 350z been my dream car since middle school

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Get your dream car.

[@rj6198]

Not a honda what!! 😲 🤯 Lol ....

[@FranciscoMartinez-jv9yz]

Este carro me regreso al 2000 , Compre un body kit Wing West replica ,nada mas me queda el rear bumper😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@noduh736]

I really like how you have made the car look probably one of the best I have seen the only thing I would do differently is the wheels I would probably put some rays on it what hood and bumper is it

[@Genevagirls-h2x]

Great platform y0! Would pull some mad tight drifts and would decimate all if turbochargedz. Also gets great fuel economy, perfect daily.

[@Sam-go3mb]

Nah it's like 18mpg city, 24 highway. Trust me, I know. Still love mine though

[@Genevagirls-h2x]

​@@Sam-go3mb I trust you, do you trust me? Ive had mine since 2006. Its been through every 2j/transmission iteration i can think of. And it just sits and rots away because the fuel economy is bad and the car is not worth anything nowadays. Its just a drifter boi's shitbox. For reference my cars sticker was $44k before taxes. Enjoy your 4 door supra!

[@Genevagirls-h2x]

@@Sam-go3mb I believe you. I have owned an is300 since 2006. It's got a very chad 2jzgte single turbo swapped mated to an AR5 right now. It's rotting away cause no one wants to pay what its worth and I cba with the fuel economy

[@komamix]

Damn son!
