THE RETURN - A Turbo Lexus IS300 Love Story (174mph)

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY SPEED SEEN IN THIS VIDEO. I HAVE DONE JAIL TIME AND SPENT TONS OF MONEY DUE TO MY HABIT FOR THIS VIDEO.

A lot of shit runs thru your head at 174mph. Like (1) all the things you wanted to do in life that you didn't get to and I swear (2) I should have french kissed that girl in 2nd grade at the swing set. (3) I should have never left Antarctica and (4) I'm running out of road real quick. With the car in 6th gear and plenty of RPM's left I ran out of road to push her faster.

The day I took my car to 174mph, later that night Ryan Dunn flipped his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 doing 140mph in West Goshen, Pa. Again, I do not recommend anyone doing this kind of speed.
RIP Ryan Dunn

This video goes out to all of the closet nerds, awkward hipsters, and straight up geeks that got made fun of their whole life. Those that sit in their laboratories by themselves cooking up hot meals to feed the masses. I feel your pain. I do what you do. -Jerry Ascione

THE RETURN is a love story between a boy and his car, ALexus; a 2003 Turbo Lexus IS300. Much more than just a short video with hot chicks and a fast car (which isn't a bad thing). Anyone who has ever driven a Turbo Lexus IS300 knows exactly what I am talking about.

This is the return of my car with more than a year of me being out of commission. Plagued with jail time, court costs, impound fees, racing/speeding tickets, court ordered suspension, and attorney fees; I was determined to get her back running and showcase a little of her talent.

What front bumper/lip are you running?

[jascione00]

@daboychris L-Tuned

[02is300TT]

Can't quite afford the v160 right now. Just spent quite a bit of money doing the gte swap

[jascione00]

@02is300TT it is expensive, but well worth it.

[TheUtube4ever]

Hey man, can you please provide an outline of what is required to turbo a stock IS300 motor? I have read a lot on this, but in your educated opinion, how much horsepower can be safely withdrawn from the stock motor with a kit + tune? what reinforcements are needed for the motor?

Thanks in advance,

Wicked vid btw.

[jascione00]

@TheUtube4ever 350 to 400 to the wheels is pushing it. U will eventually blow your motor, clutch and tranny. It's a luxury sedan no meant for that kind of power. Build the bottom end with a TT Block and pistons and rods. If you are looking for more than 400 to the wheels you will need to change a lot of parts.

Nice video, I had named my one and only baby Lexus 10 years ago and said to myself a year later maybe my first car should be a Lexus so I got a 93 ls400 which I still have running strong years went by and I fell for Supras but couldn't find any for sale near by so I settled for a 03 is300 and that baby is something else...my daughter is 10 now and is a straight A student and in the honor society.... I think it must be the name that makes everything magical!!!

[drewgo2828]

Badass vid bro...Ask Lance to up the juice. 400 is childs play now and you can safely be at 500 on E-85. You have all the ingredients already. "I think"....no... "I will" get back into an IS3. Love that car. Anyways brotha love the vid and the car and especially the Girls... 2 Tums'up!

[jascione00]

@02is300TT the Getrag V-160 is the way to go. Holds crazy power.

[jascione00]

@02is300TT The song list will always be in my video description. It's called "Possibilities" by my boy Hyperstyle.

[02is300TT]

Oh btw what's the name of the song right after where you talk about naming your car alexus.

[02is300TT]

Yea I have noticed your doing big things man . I was Nat , then just decided I would rather do the gte swap . I now have an aristo swap. Still running twins , with a built w58 .

[jascione00]

@02is300TT I've been on that site since my boy Steve used to own it when it was 1s300 . net. The site has turned to garbage since. I only post on clublexus . com where the Admins don't think they are Gods. I am more than knowledgeable on how to put power down to this car. I am in the process of a build to put 1,000rwhp to the car.
