Modified Lexus ISF - I Never Should Have Sold Mine!

I got the pleasure of jumping back behind the wheel of a Lexus ISF, a car that was once very familiar to me. Only this Lexus ISF one has a whole host of modifications, some of which I wanted to do to mine. And oh boy do I regret selling my Lexus ISF now!

Thanks for Watching!

That V8 pinging off the rev limiter is truly an amazing sound. Absolutely insane car. Great video, as always!

JDM ISF owner here from Scotland, yes mate you need an ISF in your life again!

So happy I didn't sell mine and got my hands on one before prices went up. This car was seriously slept on. Another future collector is the lc500. That car is a work of art

Great video! I just purchased my 09 ISF back in January. I find it super interesting that almost every single owner who ever sold theirs, tend to end up regretting that decision in due time. If I sell mine, i definitely want a facelifted 10+ or an RCF for the LSD mainly. Open diff is definitely a bit slouchy to drive. The open diff just never kicks out the way it just kicks out at 5:16. Cant wait to see the ISF back on the channel soon!

selling the ISF for 130i, maybe the dumbest move

[snggarageeng]

That was so smooth and the delivery of the video is very satisfying! thank you

Awesome review, stoked you loved it so much, next time, it'll be supercharged ;)

[SkydexFPS]

Its just insane how nice it sounds and shifts also quite fast. Just stunning and amazing car with timeless look! Wish I would own such a beast someday...

[abcbcd]

These things are still gorgeous. Love how understated they are. You'd never guess there's a beast under the bonnet. Really does seem like the endgame of the Accord Type S

The car simply does not drive like your standard slush box auto. It is the most engaging automatic transmission i have ever felt. Arguably feels even crazier than the BMW DCT even if the DCT shifts faster. The car may not be the absolute fastest machine ever, but boy does it bring out a smile every time you drive it. I bought an 08 as my daily driver to compliment my 88 Supra build and it is still by far the best purchase i have ever made.

[nopessssks]

Dude, you need to get another one because your ISF reviews are really some of the best. You give a real owner/“hooner” style POV.

[kotukumacky]

This is insane, I think definitely following your footsteps after my accord for one of these oh my goodness

[jamesgorman]

Love my white 2010 ISF. Will probably keep it forever.

[azcarter]

Don't apologize for that noise mate, it's bloody amazing.

I thought about a isf as a replacement for my 370z but prices are surprisingly very high also With this car just a catback and headers will set you back like around 6k lol

[NaithenFoster-ph]

I have a 2009 with 80, 000kms I bought it from a dealer in Calgary Alberta Canada in 2018 for 40k. I thought I over paided for it at the time but w.e at the time it had 35, 000kms.

I was going to sell it in the past and so happy I didn't. I don't think I'll ever sell it and now it's becoming a collector car and going up in value. They were seriously underpriced a few years ago and who ever bought one then is lucky as they are becoming more rare as time goes on and with not many produced it's definitely going up in value and will be a collector in the future.

I have kw coilovers, RR racing carbon intake and full titanium greedy exhaust. I am going to order equal lengths headers and I am Soo excited. I might super charger it and run it on low boost but I think this car is better of naturally aspirated as originally intended because of reliability. My car having 80, 000kms still has plenty of kms of driving without any major problems coming up. You see some with 200, 000+ MILES still running fine.

Can't wait to have my jdm isf arrives.

[The_Noticer.]

Actually induction noise is far less annoying than exhaust sound to your surroundings. 4:39
And ye i've been eying one of these for a while, but I've had such terrible luck with finding decent mechanics that I just can't risk it.

[spadgm]

Now that is a wicked car!, and well driven!, I can see how you would miss your old one!

The more the model the more the tweaks the engineers put to the IS-F.

You get the LSD and the steering assist to improve the handling with the suspension tweaks to improve the driving experience also all while not touching the motor.

FBO mods fully wake it up it seems.
