Yes or no?

supratuner · #2 01-23-2003, 07:22 PM

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.

by the way they are exactly the same the only thing that changes is the engine!

Toyota & Lexus are the same company, thats why the Lexus IS300 & Altezza are the same. To people that didnt know.

i think that's pretty much universal knowledge. and if you DIDN'T know that, then you need to do some research...
