yes and kinda no, there is the Altezza which is the same thing on the out side but if im not mistaken the engine is a 4 banger on the Alteza, also you will have to get something to make it look like a left hand drive car

many companies make models of the Toyota Altezza, which is the Japanese counterpart of the IS300 and looks EXACTLY the same. i have one myself.

and supratuner, the Altezza is available with a bigger engine if i'm not mistaken...

Yes. Fujimi did their Altezza kit as a Lexus IS200/IS300 kit w/LHD. The kit is not currently available. I got mine when it was new from Hobbylink Japan. The Toyota Altezza versions w/RHD are still common.

I was imitiating a certain brand of car enthisasts, who claim the B16A is superior causes it puts out 100hp/Liter.
