Default My Lexus IS 200 1JZ GTE VVTi

Hey guys, I am from New York, but I live in China.

I bought a 2004 Lexus IS 200, and swapped the motor and transmission for a 1JZ GTE VVTi with Mines tuning ECU.

It now puts out 400+ horsepower.

I also have Black coilovers, Apexi full exhaust, Exedy stage 2 clutch, Rays wheels, and a lip kit.

It features in this little video I did about the car culture here in China
Let me know what you think!

Nice! I'm in Beijing once a year. Would love to see more car content from China.

I studied abroad there in College a few times like many foreigners..... and my wife's Dad's family still lives in Beijing, so I visit once a year. In Beijing there is a "Tuner Tribe", pretty much a complex with a bunch of tuning shops, catering to mostly high end cars. Their website is here http://www.kuchexiaozhen.com/index.php?c=article&id=859 I took some personal pictures of this place a few years ago, I'll dig it up somewhere.
