Toyota Altezza Build

My Altezza arrived from Japan! Been waiting to start working on this thing from the moment I won it in auction. Big thank you to Brian @ b. Have you ever wondered where the name "Altezza taillights" came from? Believe it or not, it came from the name of the model that originally had them, the Toyota Altezza.

Im attempting to build a very clean, tucked and reliable 2JZ Altezza that will break necks and hearts. I am by no means a mechanic and this is the first car and engine that I have ever attempted to build. Obviously I could not complete this by myself so thank you to everyone who has helped me through the years.

Yes years. This is my Toyota Altezza RS200 Z edition with the 6 speed manual, and the gorgeous Neo V1 kit. It was imported a year ago, undersealed and rust free.

The Toyota Altezza was Toyota 's bold attempt to challenge European luxury sedans like the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes -Benz C-Class. Built from 1998 to 2005, it shares similarities with the Lexus IS300 but comes with unique features, including a range of engines. The Toyota Altezza was originally designed for the Japanese market as a sports sedan based on the AE86 Corolla and made its debut in 1998.

The Lexus IS came later in 1999 and was designed to compete against the leading European luxury car manufacturers, emphasizing its performance and reliability, unlike the other Japanese luxury car models. This 2002 Toyota Altezza was imported and fitted with an Eaton supercharger from a Mercedes. Other mods include Tein coilovers and 5zigen Fn.
