I'm just curious to know what do you tell people if they ask what kind of engine/hp does it have in there?
lol here all the people doesn't realize the different between my car and any is-f but if they could pay attention to brake then they would note , i still tell them yeah it is v8

for taillight like i said already they are exactly the same as is-f we got here

IS-F's in the U.S. have clear turn signals with orange bulbs - I guess it's different in your country.

If you're going to go through the trouble of swapping for an IS-F engine might as well go with a 2JZ or something.

Paulo Thank you for posting your IS200, it backs up a lot of these sarcastic IS owners in this thread.

Nice conversion non the less its very clean and looks fantastic, keep up the good work!! Can't wait to see what you decide to do with engine upgrades etc. But the body looks beautiful
