Default Two Guys Garage upgrade IS250

Just thought I'd pass this along - I watched the latest episode of Two Guys Garage and they tear into an IS250. Pretty much looks like they bolt on quite a bit of F-Sport accessories including brakes, suspension and exhaust.

The episode can be watched on their website:

My bad - I assumed it'd play the whole vid since it had the opening credits. I had Tivo'd the episode so once I saw it start I didn't go any further.

The show is usually re-run during the week I'm pretty sure.

It was cool< everything straight from Lexus to keep warranty in-tact. Not the most economical way and why didn't thy take it on the track and show us the effect of the changes.

Exactly - most of the time the guys on that show are doing hot-rod stuff and truck upgrades. All cool to watch, but I was almost shocked to see these two gear heads roll up in an IS250 and then go to town on it.

One of the hosts, Bryan Fuller - is a hot rod and bike builder. He has amazing fab and welding skills.

I think he even was in one of the Biker Build-off episides from some years back.

Another project they're working on is stuffing a GM LS3 V8 into a BMW E30 M3. It's way more than just an engine swap though.. almost a complete re-do.
