I just wanted to know what lexus was planning to bring over for the 2002 model. I've heard rumors of a 20hp increase and a 5 speed tranny can this be confirmed? If anyone has more information please fill us in

The 5 speed manual is for sure (current rumor is 1600 in cal year 2001 and 4500 in 2002- all as 2002 model year). Although there have been rumors of a power increase for 2002, I haven't seen any rumors that go as high as 20HP and I think they are pretty much rumors based on wishful thinking rather than any program insight.

stiffer suspension doesnt nescessarily come with manual. it comes with the 18" wheel option, which will be on most manual from what i have heard. but i wouldnt waste money on that. i rather get my own 18" and suspesion, which would prob be cheaper and better.

Yeah since Japanese Altezzas have pop-up NAVs already, then it shouldn't be too much trouble to just throw it in.
