2 years on actually yes... haha... I forgot I even posted this until last night when I stumbled across it... really? it would cost that much?? well, the reason I've been considering it is because I picked up my car at a bargain price, so I thought it might be worth blowing a few grand on it to soup it up... but 12k? bah... forget it! as Jason suggested I think I'll just upgrade to an IS300 and be done with it...

Yeah but the IS300 only came out as an auto, u must admit it would be cool, either converting my IS200 or buying an IS300 and trying to convert it to manual... Why didnt LEXUS ever make one of these? It would've been a winner!!! :)

or should I just sell it and buy something else...

Hi, I just bought an IS200 Yellow 2000 model after my ES300 had a seizure :( The IS200 is lacking in power and I'm really not liking the auto in it! :( its a shame coz the car looks sporty and handles well... So, I'm wondering if it's possible or easy to drop a 3L engine (perhaps from an IS300?) with a manual gearbox into it? I've read in some of these forums something about getting a 3L turbo engine and manual gearbox straight out of a Supra? is this for real? Basically, my question is: What r my best options for giving this little beast more grunt with manual gears? Cheers, G :)
