Default ES 300

After doing a search i have found that no one on the board mentions the Lexus ES 300
Does anyone have any possible idea what this car is capable of or what can be done to it?
Can a Supra TT swap be possible without too much work
ummm... nothing else i can think of right now

You can do anything given enough money...

Default i'd have to say no to the supra

honestly, i dont like the interior of the supra
and not to mention i cant afford a decent supra tt
alos i love how the inside of the lex looks plus i get 2 extra doors
insurance is MUCH lower for an 18 year old driver of an ES rather then a Supra TT
feel me on that one?
i already hit up the lexus boards and even on the lexus boards they dont do too much work to them
just alot of rumors of superchargers that no one ever sees
even the camery super charger fits but the problem lies in finding a programable ECU for the Lexus

Guess thas a waste of brain to even dwell any longer on the idea of a "Fast ES 300"
Is there any such thing?

Default price

[shadow=darkred]a used ES such as a 93 or 94 with high mileage is alot cheaper then you think
and a supra, well who is gonna buy a supra and leave it the way it is
i know if i had the money for a supra, id be driving it on toyota hubcaps from a celica and of course low octane gas
at least if i am slow in an ES (after the swap) i can pretend i never had the swap in the first place and always use the excuse of i did not feel like taking out my seats and subs tonight so i guess il stay parked
but till i have a drivable car
il sit on the curb[/shadow]

Default not sure

[shadow=green]i am not quite sure how an inline 6 would use the same motor mounts as the V6 in the Lex ES 300. Can anyone shed some light on this?[/shadow]
