February 2, 200719 yr comment_162159 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* Report

February 4, 200719 yr comment_162545 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 Report
