Actually I was well aware that Altezzas came from the Toyota Altezza.

 

which is the same as a IS300 across the ocean. toyota altezza(jdm) = lexus IS300(usdm)

 

I know some IS' come with carbon fiber tails. Who gives a shit I love those cars.

 

Holy shit, really? I thought they just look the same!


That was my fucking point, dumbfuck.

 

regardless, the tail lights are staying whith whatever i do because they are one of the signatures of that car. i think the wheels and suspension are going to be first. but i really want to do the gs300 ecu swap. i hear its good for about 70-90 extra horsies.

 

Thats doubtful. You'd be lucky to get that out of a factory detuned turbo car. Definitely not on a n/a. If you want to do something cool, find JDM motor mounts for the 3SGE version and see if you can't swap in a 3sgte. I'm not sure what kind of fabrication would be reguired. You'd be going down from a n/a 6 to a turbo 4 though.

 

why do that when i can pick up the trd turbo system for my 6 and just get another brand of turbo?

 

Hey I just said you if you want to do something cool. I didn't say practical. Actually I was under the impression turboing the 2jz in the car is stupid expensive. 3sgte might be cheaper depending on the fabrication and such. The 3sgte will be lighter up front as well as giving you more hood room to work with. I'd personally just swap in the 3sge, but I like peaky n/a 4s.

Nm, thats a heavyass car. It'd be slow as a bitch with a 3sge. I wonder how the Japanese deal with that.

 

ive spent the last 3 years with a front wheel drive, 4. i might not even boost this beotch. depends on what kind of racing i want to do with it. i just got it 3 days ago anyways

 

i want one theyre so pretty. im happy for you
