This episode is vintage in itself! Got my 96 LS400 to break for the engine, that was five years back. What a great car these are. And now it's getting a turbo it'll get that extra power it needs.
LOVE these older episodes. They were working on cars that the regular guy could afford
This episode "teaser" is a perfect example of what made Wheeler Dealers great in the first place. In these early episodes (With Edd China and before they came to America) were a lot more relatable, the new episodes are all about what you can do / fabricate if you have £100000 worth of tools and machines, and not about what the average person can do to smarten up their car

The departure of Ed China from Wheeler Dealers was just like the departure of Clarkson, Hammond and May from Top Gear. In both cases, the show never recovered, because those presenters WERE the show.
Ls400 ,, one of the greatest Japanese cars ever !!
In the overhead shot, the clear corners and wheels made an incredible difference
I used to watch these whan I was a kid damn I used to like this, Edd is a legend
“Me love you long time”…. 😅 Long time fan. I’m so stoked I found you again.
Of course I'm looking at this, because Edd is on it.
james may wouldnt approve this "STANDARD!"

Doubt it, I will do this kind of modernization as well. The wheel is overkill but for the lenses, it's spot on
shame these sorts of shops don't exist anymore

@@colinmorand129 true, my muffler guy in NYC is in the iron triangle where they say all the chopped up cars end up. Plenty of used wheels and tires around junk yards and stuff.
Ls the best luxury saloon ever
Edd is great learn so much and simple tips
Really love the wheel locks.
I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation for the 1080p HD
One of my first KZread videos was of my 1993 ls400 from 7 or 8 yrs ago.... I gave up on it and sold it for 1000 this video made me wish I had kept it and fixed her up
"(...) handsfree mobile phone unit (...) Only top drawer executive cars have kit like this" 😂🤣🙃 Now if you were still in any doubt about whether this was an old video re-release or a brand new one, that surely gives away how ancient the vid really is. These days even the likes of a VW Up are equipped with 'kit' like that straight out of the factory 😁 Nice to see one featuring Edd though!
The new ones are gorgeous too but the MKI LS is, imho, special.
I always wanted an LS400 but I ended up getting a preface lift ls430 and my god these cars are a league of there own
I have subscribed your channel but you have not uploaded any of full episodes means can't see the whole jobs done for the car like I use to see on tv
What is the name of the company that fixes or sell the the kit display for the stereo? I need it for a Lexus and a BMW E46. Thank you
Cool
Thumbs down for now showing the final product, especially driving the car with the new rims. Disappointing.
I miss the show

It’s understandable some people likes to keep everything as original as possible.
Only watching this cause Edd was on it .
No torque wrench??
Really stretching the definition of vintage but still a nice car

You telling me they just put 215/45/17 wheel/tyre combo meant for a 1.5 tonne compact exec on a 2+ tonne land barge?! That's way way way under tyres! Both sidewall and width! Of course it has the same f**king stud pattern, it doesn't mean they'll actually work as OEM part should!

17 inch will look nice but the ride will be poorer. 16 would have been better choice. The LS wasn't designed for big wheels. Trust me, the original design and engineering team knew best.👍

It is amazing how many KZread gearheads have no engineering background and are quick to jeopardize their lives and those around them in comic experiments in second guessing to achieve a different look with retrograde results.
Ever heard of torquing the lug nuts?
When the only thing in HD is the final of the video.
You really uploaded this without showing the end result??
Low profile tires and wheels make sidewall vulnerable to sudden and catastrophic failure, not to mention ruining the smooth ride of the best Lexus (LS400). Every pothole you go over is a hazard to your car, because sharp edge of defect in pavement can cut the thin sidewall. This is a lot less apt to happen with normal road tires. Don't tart up your Lexus. It's not a racing car and doesn't benefit from these unrecommended boy racer additions. Ask the manufacturer, if you disagree.
Ещё бы перевод на русский!)))
Is this Matt Farrah's million mile lexus?
Eds wrong about these big wheel performance gains
Utterly unique locking wheel nut??!! nope they are like snap on toolboox keys they are duplicated

No way. The old wheels were way better. Just needed cleaning.
Horrible wheels . Much prefer normal alloys
Rims say is200 but they're for an LS400? Shurely shome mistake.
Awfull cheap wheels on a LS400.
Stupid idea fitting IS200 wheels on to a 2 ton ls400
