Ok now to the car

Model: Gs300 (aristo)
Mileage: 215,000
Transmission: Auto
Engine: 2JZ-GTE
Wheels: 19x9.5 Front 19x10 Rear SSR Eurolines

I have recently took all of the manifold of an bead blasted it at work an repainted all of the manifold. Replaced the transmission already once. Over all the car looks great but the interior well the (SEATS) are Horrible. I have been slowly fixing it up. But seems like there is so much needed.

Ill take new pictures tomorrow an upload them of the interior. But over all i love this car! Wish i could just meet more people out there with them.

Depends on your budget, the r154 from a mk3 supra with a shift extension and a 1jz bell housing or 2jz can work, or u can get one from a chaser or mark II or someone who is parting out their r154 from a sc300. Or you can go baller status and grab a v161 from a supra ..
