Literally the perfect LS430 daily build.

The ls430 really is one beautiful machine

Hands down the best car speed academy ever restored

As a bmw guy it is very satisfying to see a car that just cooperates. Life doesn’t have to be hard if you just buy a Japanese car 😂 I think these cars will be worth a ton of money in a few years

[Sannerr]

damn they built that is 12 minutes? imagine what they could do in 20!

[stareluigi]

Cleanest build in all of YouTube. Plain and simple ❤️

As a prior LS460 owner with a super soft spot for 430s, this is awesome beyond words.

Fantastic job, guys!

I have a 430 ultra and I want to point out how smooth that engine is as it revs. Smoothest car I’ve owned.

This entire series inspired me to buy and ls430. So I did just that about a month ago. Love it.

I've owned an LS430 UL and while it is a retiree's car, it was THE most reliable and THE smoothest driving car I've ever owned.

Very impressive. That is one built Lexus. Love how SVT was able to be fit in. Great job fellas

[iDriveNotxDrive]

One of the best cars ever made! It’s like driving a tank on clouds…

[sixdonuts]

Wow what a great set of mods. The 1980s Supra style wheels are next level!

[dincanward]

The keyless entry the kit the suspension OMG you guys are great and you have great tast in mods you saved that car guys.

Would love for you all to do a follow up video on the LS430. How’s the ownership experience been with some miles on it? How’s the supercharger? Do you hate the exhaust drone? MPG? Any other maintenance items you’ve addressed?

[brianjones]

I have a 2004 LS430 with 300k+ miles on it. Will drive it to the ground. Best car ever built.

The video editing of this is absolutely FIRE!!!!

my moms got an 06 LS430, got it in 2010 and still drives it today, very minor issues. Great motor and drivetrain

[stewarthumphreys]

Probably the best LS Lexus made..
Had 2 430s over the years and ive still got my 08 460 9 years of ownership.. i put the 430 slightly ahead of my 460.. in my opinion..
Fabulous cars and well worth all that effort you put into making your 430 the beast it is.. belisima

[beardedonetech]

This is so awesome I spent the longest looking for a good condition LS430 and never found one I liked. Eventually went with an LS460.. but still have a soft spot for the more boxier look. It's amazing !
