2JZGTE Swapped Lexus IS300 Sleeper

2001 Lexus IS300 owned by Oklahoma based Kelly Riley. Kelly dove head first into this project never having completed a full motor swap personally, and without help! The result is an extremely fun and reliable 600HP sleeper car. I have driven it personally, and it could easily be a daily driver!

Motor: 2JZGTE (Aristo)
Trans: 2016 Nissan 370Z 6 Speed

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

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

[nomadben]

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

"Why do you need this car?"
Because I gave my son my land cruiser. 😂🤣

You've clearly been doing this longer than most of these "1000hp" supra owners have been alive. You've explained more technical difficulties in 6 minutes than most could do with 100 videos. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve actually ridden in this car! Super cool and this dude is super chill

Reminds me of the Dad from Tokyo Drift

I'm taking my time building a 2jzge with individual throttle bodies and putting into my 1980 Corolla. I love your build man!!! Very inspiring for me to keep going on mine!!!

I am 63 and just got me an Aristo with 2JZ-GTE. If you love cars there is no cutoff age!!

[reeseizm]

so glad my 2jzgte swap IS300 isn’t alone in the world long live the 2j!

Dont ever let ANYONE tell you that you are too old to enjoy cars and speed.. Its a feeling that isnt age-biased.

Gotta love a Toyota Lexus build. Great dad didn’t lose his love for cars as he got older

[Alantek]

I’m 52 and I’m not letting anyone stop me from modding my cars. Keep it up! Your build is fantastic and inspiring!

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.

5:17 and above that man spoke straight from the heart ❤️ honestly I get him

[BillakosDM]

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

[SSLUTTY]

Clean simple stock look but under the hood a deadly single turbo 2jzgte 😍 best of both worlds

[Tony-]

Best part is, how humble he is.
People's ego's gets the better of them, especially for a build like this.
Great work mate 👍👍

A gear head at heart. I can definitely relate to jumping in my car. Going for a drive with no particular destination in mind. Just enjoying the driving experience of the car.

[unathandavis]

I'm so happy you done this man. Most people just talk a big game. I can see the passion in your eyes and the feeling of accomplishing something you really love.
