98 GS300 w/ 2jzgte Aristo swap
******PICTURES ON PAGE 1 AND 3**********
WOULD LIKE TO TRADE FOR A SC300 WITH A 1J OR 2J SWAP
Just finished this swap 2 months ago and Im in the market for a Supra now.
The car is a 98 GS300 with a Legit Aristo 2JZGTE VVT-I swap. I have a fairly decent write up on it in the 2GS performance section.
Ill do the Con's first.
Color is Cinnabar pearl. Could use a respray.
Has a new front bumper just needs to be painted. Rear bumper has a crease in it and a few scratches. I would replace it. Im picky.
FMIC looks crooked in the picture because I didnt have the bolt installed. I was too excited to get a pic of it installed. The second bolt is installed and it is completely straight!!
Now the pro's
2JZGTE VVT-I swap. It was a plug and play swap, and I even ran the 1 wire to get the tack working!
New MK4 Supra throttle cable
Full 3in stainless exhaust.
Autobahn88 GS300 BIG FMIC
Aristo Fuel pump assembly
New fuel return line
New wind shield
New rack and pinion w/ new bushings
New lower ball joints
New/refurbished steering rack
VIP window visors
VIP front grill, the stock one is on in the pictures. I still have that one as well on my parts shelf.
New clock spring
New front calipers and pads.
New 19in Toyo Proxy 4's. Rim size is 9x19 front, 9.5x19 rear
Autometer Boost gauge mounted in a-pillar pod. Light bulb matched to same color as cluster gauge.
All new fluids. Correct Toyota Red coolant, Correct Toyota type 4 ATF, Mobil1 full syn oil. Correct Toyota Red power steering fluid.
New 8k Iceberg Blue HID's
I did all the work on this car with the exception of the welding because I cant weld. I did not take any short cuts on this swap because it was an expensive one. The worst thing about this swap is the S13 power steering resivior I had to use. Lexus wants too much for one. $275 I just cant see my self spending that much on a container....Im sure there are good used ones out there for much cheeper!
UPDATE******I BROKE DOWN AND ORDERED A USED ARISTO PWR STEERING RESIVIOR
Interior:
The interior is in fairly good shape. Color is tan. The front seats have no rips in them but they do show signs of their age. Center arm rest has some cracks where your elbow rests but, its not torn through. Previous owner must of had sand paper elbows....lol
Rear seats and rear arm rest are in very good shape!
Carpets are in good shape as well.
Exterior:
Over all the body needs some love. New front bumper needs to be painted, rear bumper replacement if you are as picky as me. Never been in an accident, clean WA title., ***UPDATE*** Front bumper has been sanded, primered, and painted satin black and installed on the car. WITH new after market fog lights.
Engine:
Basically stock with the exception of the exhaust and FMIC. It's at 11 psi and it runs great!! No leaks, sputters, or shakes of any kind.
Oh and no fuel reading issues that a lot of members are having! Aristo Fuel pump assembly fixed that!!!
Im asking $13,000 OBO. Please be nice and dont low ball.. Remember price is OBO, any reasonable offer will be considered.
If you have any questions or would like to know anything about the car you can reach me at 360-632-2715. Or just Pm me!!
The Build thread is in the 2GS Performance section. The title is "98 GS300 Aristo Swap". Thank you!! REMEMBER I SAID OBO!!!

I dont know anyone on here personally that can vouch for me.......But I can and will do everything I can to prove that I am Legit! Ill even include my address full name and phone number if needed. Sorry If I broke a forum rule.....
