How a Random Afternoon Car Hunt Turned Into a 2JZ Project (IS300) - HEATSOAKED Podcast Ep. 6

In this episode of HEATSOAKED Podcast, Cris and KT share the down-to-earth story of how an unexpected car hunt led to Cris’ new project: an '02 Lexus IS300 with a 2JZ engine, good bones, and more surprises than they bargained for. From the adrenaline of last-minute negotiations and wild lowball offers to inspecting a car in the middle of a Dollar General parking lot at 10pm on a Sunday night only to later discover makeshift fixes, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the highs and lows of buying a used project car. Tune in for the honest, humorous, and chaotic journey from that memorable day. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned builder, Cris and KT show that the best cars start with a story—plus, a lot of grease, patience, and good conversation.
