Gotta search the forum for info man!!

You can turbo the stock 2j, swap an aristo 2jzgte motor, and a ton more to these cars... A price range and hp goal would also help...

If you have 3k to play with... spend ~2k on an Aristo 2JZ-GTE Motor Swap (Motor, trans, ecu, Ignitor, etc.), and check local prices for installation... or do the work yourself. There is a crapload of info if you search the forums.

Most dudes who got work done to their hondas will Sh+t on a stock GS
like do you really think youll be able to keep up with a h22 or K20?

even if it has 20hp less then a stock 2jzge itll still win being that its a lighter car and the 5/6 spd helps it

if you wanna go really fast for cheap get a honda!
if you wanna chill but also boogie get a 2jzgte

I got a GS for luxury and comfort not for challenging others on the street
I left racing behind for the more settled but dope vip scene.

It's kind of funny to see this sort of thing over and over. If I wanted a fast car within a budget, I probably wouldn't start with a 1GS as a first choice. Yes, you can make it fast. No, it won't be cheap. If you do it on the cheap, you're going to have problems, almost guaranteed.

Im with you 100%

I hate it when people ask me about how fast my car is and continue to ask about its performance like WTF im its not a freaking race car nor it ever will be.

Some people just dont understand the culture/style of luxury tuning that most of us are trying to accomplish

Not saying im leaving my motor stock but not that im trying to run 11's ether
