Destroyed my 2JZ Engine AGAIN... STORY TIME! - 800HP LEXUS GS300 DRIFTING & MORE

[@bigzlowered]

This might be the only time in history where I can confidently say.... this wasnt Hert's fault.

[@leonnottingham4618]

It’s always Hertz fault

[@alanlansdell7533]

Well that's an unexpected plot twist...... It wasn't Hert!

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Johnny at HLSS will get it sorted tho. He's a good dude n highly respected in the GS community. I'm getting most of my front suspension from them n also my SC handbrake conversion from them.

[@suburbanant]

@@leonnottingham4618 It's always Suppy's fault.

[@trilliamogdlocog4986]

Should've listened to Mike that work on the 2j was trash I already knew it was miggy that ruined that motor

[@543chazz]

This car was 100% the reason I imported an Aristo, fantastic car and so much fun with a 2J Turbo. Would love to see her get paint corrected!!!

[@spongeintel9323]

thinking of doing the same, how is it treating you

[@sv-bk]

We definitely want to see both the Lex and the Yota taken care of. When the FD is finished body-wise it needs some paint protection too!

Hertrech Eugene Jr GOD DAMN!! I just came here to congratulate you (again) on keeping your content so authenticly genuine and real. The world needs this content, but if you make me cry one more time with emotionally charged references like paint matched cars with undiscovered posthumous easter eggs in the boot!!!!! This one got me worse than watching your boys face light up with joy showing off his k swapped truck. Never Stop!! Love always ♥

[@rolands31]

I remember your roadtrip videos with this car..love them!

[@travisstamp7428]

This car was def one of the inspirations for me to get a 2GS, and its been the best car ive ever had!

Not a S-chassis fan but that 13 coupe looks great.🔥🔥 Always been a sucker for white wheels.

[@chaseteter]

My built and sleeved GSR motor is on its second sleeve and rebuild in a year. It sat at GE for 8 months and they had issues with turnaround time so they sent it to JBR in FL and they have had it for about 8 moths. Crazy downtime and money. Seeing this is a good reminder it’s just part of the game, great post and I love to see you putting Atlanta on.

[@paullennox4981]

Feel for you but sounds like you're in the right place and fair play for not bashing the previous people who worked on it even though they might deserve it and for anyone who reads this always try doing your homework on who you have work on your pride and joy is always cheaper in the long run paying the right people and no job worth rushing costs more eventually.

[@shifty1927]

As someone with a 1000whp sedan (e36 328) i love the GS. I will say the car was more enjoyable when it was making 6-700whp on the stock engine. Car was built 15+ years ago though so 1000whp wasn't that manageable back then. Was the 1st making that type of power so it was unknown territory. It was used for drag instead of drift. Still full interior heated leather seats and ac. I need to update the car with modern parts and tuning. Wild how outdated most of the parts on the car are.

[@BLOJOHNSON3234]

+1 for the paint correction videos!

That transition at 21:55 was so clean I had to rewind and watch it again

Yo Hert life! Watched since unpros then watched maybe the first 100 build breakdowns it was my morning ritual but once stuff got too polished it kind of lost its magic.. These Vids take me right back to unpros and boy am I happy for it. Respect big man keep it up, keep it legit and keep it you 👌

omg Hert I remember in 2020 when you built the engine during COVID. Hell your vids help me pass the time and I learned a bunch of new stuff. I'm still looking for a good GS300 to turn into the twin of you GS different color of course. Show that girl the love she needs.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Crap! That sucks Hurt! So sorry Man! I guess the good news is, you are in good hands now, and from this point forward, you will have a reliable legit motor you can count on. It would have only been a matter of time before that motor would have shit the bed in short order. Not only that, the Dudes at the shop will get all of the other issues sorted. These guys are winners! They don't F around. P.S. You are a serious Wheel Man, Son! The way you were getting that Lexus around that track was 100% Badass! Well done! I hope to see more of that content in the future! Stay safe Man!

[@EuroJerk]

For what it's worth, personally, I enjoy seeing car scenes and odds are those are cars I'll never see, you get to see different flavors. Being from Seattle this is super awesome! Also enjoy seeing tech sessions and behind the scenes. Seeing Gtecknic do a detail would be cool, always love seeing others processes. More car scene stuff though Hert! Definitely dig that. You could do a Build breakdown of peoples builds and that could be a couple videos a month. Coulda broke it down into 2 videos one with the meet and other with the car stuff.

[@djassassinuk]

Dayyyyum ... The GS300 really has been on a journey. At least it sounds like it's gonna be done right this time and turn out real nice! Loved those 2 paint matched cars, they look mighty fine!
