2JZGTE Swapped Lexus IS300 Sleeper

[@hectorramirez8650]

I’m sure any teenager would love to have him as Their dad, I know I would’ve.

[@jkapoki1367]

That's the first thing I thought. Coolest dad

[@rexb16]

you tryna go legit homie? join the NIRA circuit?

[@WoodLox]

Had two boys and bought two AE86, my oldest is approaching legal age to drive. Decided he didn’t want the corolla, bought a great running blue Is300 to swap for $265. Came home from school and asked who’s car is that? Well he got his first car,. And I still got my 85 and 86 GTS,. Win!

The need for speed never stops no matter how old you are. 2Jz is an amazing platform. I enjoy my swap just about every weekend

[@aliu_q60a26]

What would a 2jz swap cost for my 01 IS300??

[@blizzardesigns]

@@aliu_q60a26 6K

[@zilla9676]

@@aliu_q60a26 depends do you want to do it yourself or get someone else to do it for you. If you're going the GTE route then engine will be insanely expensive itself plus the cost of everything else would add up quite a but plus the labour if you want to get someone to do it for you professionally. I'd say all up including labour and every thing would be close to around 30k - 35k total. Should probably only consider it if you're going to keep your car for a long time

[@nomadben]

Why do people think you're not allowed to have fun if you're 50? Lol great build, cheers buddy.

[@mr.cookie7308]

Thats my excuse to my wife also. Told her I was buying a sport compact for my 17 year old son. I told her I would need to fix and change some parts out and do a couple of things to make it would run right....ahem fast. She's asking why is the exhaust so loud now. Then I told her the car "may be" too fast for my son, so I gave him my suv, and I end up with the fast car. Im 45 and Im smiling everyday to work and to pick up groceries runs.

People when you are young: Why do you need this car? Save your money for retirement. Also same people when you're older: why do you need this car? You're 50 years old.

[@sidebproductionsllc8353]

Tunnel Snakes that’s definitely a fact! If you don’t love cars you’ll never get it.. investment in feeding the soul! 👌🏼

[@michaelangelo5783]

You're only young once and life is short.

[@brothaman1312]

Mind your own business. Nobody buys only what they need, they purchase things that they want as well to have something call FUN. Plus, plenty of people aren't broke and can comfortably afford to do builds like this without compromising their finances. Also, being 50 doesn't mean you can't have fun anymore, you'll be 50 one day too, should you stop enjoying your hobbies just because you're getting old? I respect this man for following his passion. Such a stupid comment...

"If you don't have it in you, you will never understand!" I'm with you all the way Kelly!

[@typesgsr]

This is a great video. It’s awesome to see someone of that age going after an IS300 and doing a build like that. I would sometimes feel awkward because I have anIS300 and feel like I should have a more grown up car. But this makes it all go away. So I’ll get another car and keep the IS lol.

[@TURBOBEATZZZ]

Cool dude! I'm an old boost fogey too and did the same with my 08 VW R32. Built up the engine in the kitchen since I don't have a garage. My wife is from another world lol! Forged internals a 6262pte turbo and 3 years later I'm running daily in a 400 plus AWHP AWD rocket rain sleet or snow. Absolutely the most fantastic car I've ever driven and well worth the investment 😉. Nothing like building your own dream car!
