7shades Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 This is a beams engine. Click Having driven one in an altezza I can confirm they are one of the most smooth, tractable fantastic most wonderfullest engines ever made. Also.... It is RWD It has a 6 speed gearbox It comes with half a car... ie: loom, ecu, dash, seats, tailshaft, and big brakes It will fit in your corolla and make it go astonishingly fast Someone please buy it, and keep it out of the hands of some dirty knuckle dragging toymods carf@$ker... sell a kidney or something. 5k may seem a lot of money, but bear in mind the ease of conversion and very low k's on the engine, plus all the bonus bits you get with the half cut... If I hadn't just spent all my money on plane tickets, this would be bought and paid for and on its way to me right now. *sigh* Quote
Jono Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 5k is a bargain for what you are getting Quote
7shades Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 Its a Lexus IS200. The lexus nameplate wasn't used in Japan until 2006 although all the lexus models were available, as Toyotas. Aristo = GS300 Celsior = LS400 Soarer = SC400 etc etc Quote

7shades Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 do it do it do it c'mon.... sell some organs.... you got plenty.... you can get around fine on one kidney and half a liver... just can't drink as much. At least you'll be able to rocket between piss stops at a rapid rate of knots... :) Quote

Hiro Protagonist Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Its a Lexus IS200. The lexus nameplate wasn't used in Japan until 2006 although all the lexus models were available, as Toyotas. Aristo = GS300 Celsior = LS400 Soarer = SC400 etc etc It _isn't_ a Lexus IS200, it's a Toyota Altezza. Although effectively a rebadge, the engines are quite different. IS200 = 1GFE 2.0L inline six, bit of a dog. Altezza/RS200 = 3SGE Beams 2.0L inline 4, screamer Quote
7shades Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) I wasn't aware the oz spec was different... thats a pity, altezzas are sooo smooth.... was the RS released in oz? Edited February 5, 2007 by 7shades Quote
