Aristo/GS300 Project- Wow.. Just WOW.
My mouth literally dropped after seeing the motor. Here are some new pics by Kevin Beronilla. Check out the feature article written by Raymond Wu.

Now... the pics.

yeah, they are pretty popular on the lexus forums. I did see a sale for some on the G37 forum, so they may fit...

edit: I think they may be a wholesale only company...

I've always liked the mid-90's Lexus compared to the snoozefest their new cars are. This GS is so well done too, it looks classy but it still looks a lot different than other GS's. and its stick and has a 2JZ under the hood!but I don't know about that left side hanging down low.... that just kills it

This guy did a lot of work on the car, and for that great job.

But....

I see that body style here a lot. Most look terrible. The generation after that one looks better, IMO. Sorry, but the whole JDM thing is a bit lost on me.

To do all that, and have mismatched interior/exterior and to not replace the borked armrest?

don't like the lip spoiler nor the racing seats (prefer to just keep the oem leathers), but everything else is badass.

A friend of mine just got an IS300 and he's also got an LS1 + T56 waiting in his garage to go into the IS. He's still deciding on what cam to get.... its going to be reliable, loud and fun
