Is this a 2004 base model ?
@speed academy...I am not mechanically inclined....would you consider doing the modification to my 2005 LS430
Hey you guys can I please have this car pretty please and you guys build my gs400 on my page
What kind and where can I get the supercharger and ECU?
Literally the perfect LS430 daily build.
ikr That thing is awesome... Built like A tank and definitely gets up and goes... I bet you can slide it like nothing on A nice rainy day lol
Literally…I guess it literally is. Literally
@@fbiagent3399 yeah literally
@@beastfromtheeast9318 Yah okay literally
Going to last long time
The ls430 really is one beautiful machine
No-no-no. Hault. The car of the artist... (like alpha)

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
Doubt it.

Hands down the best car speed academy ever restored
Cleanest build in all of KZhead. Plain and simple ❤️
никто не приложил руку к созданию. креатура ничейная. без сметаны
As a prior LS460 owner with a super soft spot for 430s, this is awesome beyond words. Fantastic job, guys!
Did you have both? Which would you buy again?
@@T0tenkampf wish I did. No, I had a 2015 LS460. I ended up getting a LC.
"The hours approaching, just give it your best You've got to reach your prime. That's when you need to put yourself to the test, And show us a passage of time, We're gonna need a montage (montage) Oh it takes a montage (montage)" - Great watch guys! Done in 12 mins, damn you really stretched that series our eh, so easy 🤣 😜 - Taz
Very impressive. That is one built Lexus. Love how SVT was able to be fit in. Great job fellas
Wow what a great set of mods. The 1980s Supra style wheels are next level!
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 !
You guys have done such a good build. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Its so enjoyable to watch. Good luck
One of the best cars ever made! It’s like driving a tank on clouds…

Im nota big Lexus fan but spot on, the LS is/are spectacular cars
@@obungapyramid5525been in both. Lexus is definitely a lot sportier. Town car is the last great American sedan built imo. If I had to choose I’d pick the ls430 but those town cars are nice
Watching people creating something like this is amazing and I love this car really much keep up the good work
I really like that you guys restore the cars as well as modify them! Nice work boys keepin it proper!
my moms got an 06 LS430, got it in 2010 and still drives it today, very minor issues. Great motor and drivetrain
This entire series inspired me to buy and ls430. So I did just that about a month ago. Love it.
I own an LX570 and you can feel the built quality and effort put into these vehicles compared to other brands.
Enrique A Montero Absolutely, just the other day I was in my buddies 2019 Ford Ranger and all I could think was how cheap it felt. The doors where like tin cans, the armrest was already tearing, the engine was so rough at idle. Not knocking Ford, it’s just once you drive a well built Lexus, it ruins other cars for you.
I know. The build quality from the "Takumi" team has no comparison. When I was working on Toyota, I learned the 5 "S's". Now I try to apply them whenever I can. Even if it's not mechanically related.

🤝 Congrats bro I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 truly a gem 💎 of a car never getting rid of mines 🥰😎
This was by far my favorite series.. Keep up the original content!
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.
You guys deserve more credit and viewers for this. This is a properly built car!
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
The video editing of this is absolutely FIRE!!!!
The keyless entry the kit the suspension OMG you guys are great and you have great tast in mods you saved that car guys.
The videos are great, thank you. I'm sure a lot of people trying to make their old ls more fun will enjoy it.
Such a great build! Really enjoyed the whole video and this beauty!
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?
Absolutely amazing you guys brought this car back to life 🔥🔥
Hands down one the best videos I've seen with the upgrading of the marvelous VIP LS430. That supercharger mod is insane. Great job fellas.
Just drove by you boys hauling the supra with the Tundra on the 403. Love it !!
I have a 2004 LS430 with 300k+ miles on it. Will drive it to the ground. Best car ever built.
Thank you for all the videos, the LS I just bought has the same minor issues, and highly recommend this video
Beautiful work guys!!
I have installed a rear pumpkin from a gs300 which has stock lsd & 392 gears into my 02 ls430. Different beast!!!! They should have came factory like that in my opinion.
One of my favorite cars of all time - the 2006 LS 430 .
Love it how it turned out. Awesome !
Literally my dream configuration. Black with beige interior. Stunning build.
This build was awesome!
Love the Flexus!
This is awsome. Great Job guys. I have a 2000 Lexus GS400 with a Rod Millen Supercharger sitting in my garage since 2003. I live in Mexico and hopping one day i can pick it up and drive it again. I will need alot of help to tune it up and bring it back to life. Love these cars.
This video brings a smile on my face. Thank you SpeedAcademy. 😁
The music added the perfect touch of excitement and satisfaction to this video! Can probably drive this car another decade and not worry about any major maintenance!
Can we talk more about this music? It's great, what is it? Thanks. Infected ground by particle house
@@yourboyvic you saved us
You know the name?
Ughh I’m so jealous of those wheels!
Very cool build!! I need this for my next project.
Man, I really love the subtle body kit that you gave this thing! I really really want to do something like this on my 1995 LS400 but I simply can't find any parts made specifically for the LS400. I'm surprised you guys found stuff for the 430!
I was a Lexus line tech for 11 years, by far my favorite Lexo! Nice work.
I need this set of wheels 🔥🔥
Well then go out and get one
@@ghalibshah6788 what year is this one?
What wheels are they????
@@MasterPesky you see those rims Everytime you see a Toyota 4Runner. Those are the standard rims for the higher level 4Runner, you don't recognize them because there on a LS 430.
Toyota Celica or Supra rims from the 80's.
I need to learn how to do this kind of stuff. Awesome job 👍
I have a 430 ultra and I want to point out how smooth that engine is as it revs. Smoothest car I’ve owned.
Ready to hit the Ponderosa early bird special in style! 😀
Next video: Building an M5 wagon in 46 hours
Saw this vid in my recommended and glad I watched. Just earned a subscriber. Great vid.
LS430 is my all time favorite Car. Had one once, saving up for another one. 💪😎🔥
as someone that misses both his mk2 and LS430 this was an instant click
I miss this car hard to believe I owned it 2 owners prior to these guys. Still has my KnN sticker and horrible wrap job on the door 😁😁 enjoy ittt
Sad times, got rid of one of the safest most reliable cars ever designed. I don't see a reason for racing suspension or a SC. 6.6s 0-60 stock. I've hit 125 and still had more throttle to give and only 3.2K RPM. I bought a Tacoma TRD and still daily the LS430
This is one of the nicest LS 430s I've seen.
Beautiful build. Looks and performs amazing.
10 years from now that Lexus will still be going strong. The BMW you'll be drinking beer from it. Dazza from Australia
It turned out great guys. Supercharged or not I really want one.
Definite like! Always in love with your channel since the early beginning!
that front reminds me of my gx470. beautiful machine.
Great music!!!!!
I have a 04 LS430 with 180,000 miles. It is mechanically in excellent condition, and I have done all of the regular services. Recently replaced the water pump, timing belt, etc. How much do you charge to add a super-charger?
You should be able to get a quote from almost any local hot rod shop if you show them this video..
Love it’s tagged and not a unrealistic brand new condition
Thank you for restoring the king of cars!
In all the M5 RACE shots it looked like the film was cut just before the M5 was about to take over
Crazy how much better the back of the 430 looks with just the trunk lip lmao
Still one of my favorite builds you fellas put together
Amazing 👏! Love the car and all the attention to detail
love the intro song! What song is it?
Particle House - Infected Ground
Still thinks it needs an LSD. Maybe not the manual swap, but the lsd would be sick.
I put a rear pumpkin from a gs300 which has stock lsd & 392 gears. Really woke up my ls430 😎
One of the best builds on this channel by far!
you guys produce quality work
2:16 This had me laughing when the guy from the song saying "this doesnt make any sense" seeing a clean car with dirty ass wheels lmao
Link to the music?
Take all my money now!! I need this. Great build.
Memories flood back in with those wheels. My 85 Celica GTS same style.
Pretty sure you guys are responsible for the prices of these cars going up in the US lol
im glad i bought mine when i did because the prices went up by $1-2000 within a few months
car prices in general are high because of covid-19 being over
got mine right before covid for $3400 136k miles
@@BleechMedia I love mine. 04 UL Crystal white on saddle interior. 51k miles. Lots of upgrades. I couldn't build the car for what I bought it for lol! It's a work of art
@@BleechMedia Covid-19 is not over, who told you that lie?
Infected Ground - Particle House for anyone wondering
Thank youuuuuu
Lmao i sure was good lookin
clean build, awesome !!
Would love to see an update on the LS. Thanks
Would be great to hear what you’re actually doing...
You guys need to start using Dragy and post 0-60, 60ft, 1/8 and 1/4 times.
Dope content that drone footage is insane
You guys did a great job!
I still want to see what kind of lap times this car would make.
Same here. But i will add, "with me driving it!".
It’s like a charger, just a fat and fast straight line car. Please don’t track it.
To be honest i like the old wheels
*Continental is my favorite tires also. I run these tires on all my vehicles, I even have Conti tires on my folding bicycle.*
Love it🔥🔥🔥🔥Amazing build.
We want 3 months ownership updates provided that the bmw still runs then 🤣 (Sorry Pete)
amazing 12 mins... love it so much
Superb video with great music to boot.

Oh wow what the f*** this is amazing . You guys are very impressive and even watching this with my own eyes I still can’t believe the flawless seemingly effortless beautiful work you’re doing turning this car into a beast .
i love a clean build,, so satisfying
I love the ground planes so luxurious so fast
I have an 05 LS 430, love it. Would like to do the S/C one day as well
Dont really like 4 doors (RCF Owner). However you guys set the standard of keeping it simple and bringing out the peak of it's full potential. Gained a new subscriber 🤙🏾
Man awe man awe man, I need this done to my Lexus LS 430 like asap..... I freaking love this video
I have been looking for a LS460L because I like the Panamera ish style lines but this car really makes me consider the late refresh 430 given that I know how much better built it is and can look that sharp. That stance and the subtle body kit make it look as modern as the 460.
