The Lexus IS300 featured here is another great modification by the western on the IS300 or also known Toyota Altezza in Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). Eventhough, the factory setting 2jZ-GE engine is good enough in term of power, but many of the IS300 enthusiasts choose the 2JZ-GTE taken from Toyota Supra simply because of the possible engine swap with minor mod.

If you thing that the swap is easy, you are definitely wrong, nothing bolts in and fits, some of the things need to undergo major mod.

Not to mention that all IS300 comes with auto tranny !

The engine swap also maybe very much related to the famous legendary rear wheel drive AE86. What do you think of this Toyota monster.

Anyway, the car featured here in for sale @ RM160k.
