Wait a minute...you want to put a 2JZ-GTE into a ES with a six speed? Why would you even attempt to do that? Not really worth doing IMO.
Also, keep in mind that modding cars is VERY expensive and you may want to rethink your starting point with a minimum wage job...It's very admirable that you saved up $11K (!!) but don't bite off more than you can chew...getting your car repo'd sucks!
Honestly, if you want something that's more performance oriented, I would start with a Integra instead. There are a lot of inexpensive mods you can do and the Integra can be made to be VERY quick...with $11K, you should be able to hook a very nice Integra...
Seriously, I think you need to be more realistic with what you want to do with what you have...
If you do want to pursue a Lexus, I would start with the IS300 instead...the ES300 is just not anywhere near a performance car in any respect...

Go for the SC3...
Seriously for $10 - 12 grand you can buy a 92-93 SC3 1/4 15.2 - 15.6... which you have a better chance of finding.(a chance... it's going to hard too)
*90-91 300ZX TT =1/4 13.8 - 14.2 ...a monster for the $$$....
*90-92 300ZX =1/4 14.7 - 15.0 base and 2+2 from $7,000 - 11,000
*You can find 93 Supra =1/4 14.7 - 15.0 for $12,000 potential is great
*93 RX7 =1/4 13.3 - 13.6 for $12,000 - 14,000 monster
*3000GT VR4 and Stealth RT TT =1/4 13.7 - 14.0 92 - 93 for $12K AWD Demon...
*{new body style} non turbo 3000GT SL =1/4 14.9-15.3 94-96 for $10K - 12K
Just some top import {Stealth is made by Mitsubishi for Chrysler} options for your $$$... If you can not find your ES3 manual...

I think im gonna....
I think That an SC300 is probably gonna be my choice. It is not to rare to find a manual, and its still a lexus... a damn good looking one in fact. There was a guy selling one in the forums for 8.5 "a 92 automatic" so chances are if i just dont jump the gun i can get what i want exactly and in the meen time save more cash up for the mods i want.. was looking at some body kits too... the ab-flung is... hellla crazy.
anycase thanx alot guys for the info, and so on. and one more question i know that the ES is suposed to be extreamly reliable. anyone know of the SC and if it fits that same discription?
