My GS300, complete aristo swap
Hey everyone!
I've been following this forum for quite some time now and i thought its time to say hi and show you guys my ride.
The car has been completely aristo converted.
Engine, box, dash, rear cradle with 4WS system etc.
Basically the only parts left lexus is the chassis and panels.
Oh except for the front bar, thats aristo, looked much nicer without the headlight washers.
So i bought the car with the conversion already done, and put the mods on myself.
Vizage front lip
skirts and rear bar
Re-trimmed aristo seats
3 peice lip spoiler
Dolce DC12 20inch wheels
DVD double din touch screen
17" Roof mount monitor
Twin 12" MTX subs
LED tail lights
HKS ssqv black series BOV
Tein CS Coilovers
Apexi AVCR
Exhaust and intercooler kit are on order, will post up more pics when i get em on.
Also dont mind my matt black rear bar, the kit is getting a respray.
so here are the pics, from the beginning to now..
My first mod, BOV, and boy was it exciting...
couple pics of my car and my brothers
and a shot of us making a mess
There's still alot of paint work to be done, and i'd really like some real VIP wheels, my turbo 1 is leaking oil so the wheels have to be put on hold.
Currently save to go single T04z setup.
will keep you guys posted, thanks for looking!

Quick up date on what she looks like today, pulled the bodykit off and left my 3 piece wing.
Now rolling on 19" work eurolines.

doesnt sound right, i would disagree. from the pics i can see the GS is still on stock twins, with auto, Exhaust maybe, IDK = @270hp on a good day
the IS3 has a 1uzfe, auto, looks somewhat stock, =@270 hp
again from the current set up on the pics the IS3 should be quicker than the GS

sorry mate, we've raced these cars over and over again, the GS is on 16psi ( boost cut) and was dynoed at 227kw(304hp)
the IS2 keeps up before turbo 2 comes online.
Even on stock boost, the GS still wins.
