DIY Drift Handbrake for the Lexus IS300 (NO Hydro Kit!)

In today’s video, I’m taking a break from buying expensive parts and showing you how I built my own custom drift handbrake using the stock IS300 handbrake assembly no hydro kit, no eBay junk, just real DIY creativity. 💪

If you’ve been following the channel, you know I’ve been on the grind getting my IS300 drift build ready step by step. Every mod counts and I’m trying to show that you can get sideways without going broke. That’s the heart of what we’re building here at Foreign Authority.

I wanted a handbrake setup that wouldn’t cost $400-$600 and after a little thinking, I realized the stock IS300 handbrake is actually a great starting point. In this video, you’ll see how I modified it, what I used, and how it works now for clutch kick, e-brake entries, and drift control.
