In this thrilling episode of throtl, the team embarks on an ambitious project to transform a lucky subscriber's Lexus IS250 into an absolute beast on wheels. Armed with a plethora of high-performance parts, including ABBC brakes, air suspension, a PRV sound system, and a Magnaflow exhaust, the car is set to undergo a jaw-dropping makeover. But before the magic begins, we get a glimpse of the Lexus in its current sorry state - dirty, rusty, and in dire need of some serious TLC.
As the team dives headfirst into the project, they tackle the installation of an Air Lift Performance Suspension, facing off against stubborn rusty bolts with the help of trusty WD40 products. The trunk setup is next on the agenda, featuring a lineup of subwoofers, amplifiers, and a DSP to elevate the car's audio game to new heights. Opalite Optics steps in to work their interior magic, adding a starry suede headliner and customizable ambient lighting that promises to set the mood just right.
PRV subwoofers, speakers, tweeters, and a sleek stereo system are meticulously installed to ensure an epic auditory experience that matches the car's newfound aesthetic. Meanwhile, under the hood, the team tackles a series of maintenance tasks, from replacing the battery and fixing an exhaust leak to installing a new alternator and serpentine belt. With each component falling into place, the Lexus IS250 undergoes a remarkable transformation, emerging as a true showstopper that seamlessly blends style, performance, and pure automotive passion.
