    I just bought this SXE10 Toyota Altezza RS200 at an auction in Japan. it has not arrived yet (I live in Denmark)
    but I have big plans with it, it must be built really nice although it is a drifter. there comes a 1JZ-GTE Single turbo from a Chaser in, instead of the original 3S-GE
    I look forward to a whole lot of work with wires, new tunnel, rollcage, spot welding, etc.


    More coming as soon as it has come to Denmark :D

    Looks like a nice bit of work ahead of you, should be worth it when finished

    My poor IS200 in sitting very neglected on the driveway with no engine, gearbox interior pretty much anything, and the 1JZ and R154 (in bits) sitting in the garage. Been almost a year now with no progress (Motorbike took the summer away) now getting the ich to do some work with it, I need 2 1998 GS300 inlet side mounts to get the engine in then a mani and a least I could start her up (anyone got any ???)

    Good luck with the project if you need any info toymods.net are helpful chaps, or I can help (with my limited knowledge)

    Are you stripping it out or keeping it in standard trim ?

    the good thing with a 1jz is they are easy tuned, £1500 or less would see a happy 400 bhp

    Look forward to this,

    Still the best car I have ever just got in and drifted was Jon's monster (it was Jon wasnt it ??)

    Without a shadow of a doubt the easiest, most muscular, friendly drift car I have ever had the pleasure of. 2JZ with 2835's but a total pussycat !!

    If yours is half as good it'll be a winner in my book

    it is good to hear :thumbs: expect to build it up with the best parts on the market that does of course also mean it going to take a little longer to build it but it should be worth it
    :D
