It depends what you want to do with it really.

You could always try Monkey Wrench Racing

Well I got a truck so that I can park the car and build it I would love to tear into the engine and build it but suspension is first and cosmetic will probably be last idk how to post a pic of my car on here yet and it's got the vvtl-I in it I can't find anything anywhere about a bigger motor I could swap with so I'm just going to build it all

Most people in the UK, just fit either lowering springs (normally those fitted to our GT model - which is a special edition higher than the US GTS. so ours goes 140, 190 & then GT. The US goes GT, GTS & then not sure id you have a special edition). Then fit some strut braces to help.

Other go for lowering springs, braces & uprated sway bars. Others just fit Coil Overs or a mixture.

Engine wise, people increase it to a 2.0ltr engine. Others have spoken about doing Gen 6 engine swaps or Supra engine swaps, but people tend to either FI the engine as it is, or do the 2.0 work and then FI.

Having the GTS, means that you can turbo easier than in the UK, as the LHD turbo manifold fits easily. In the UK we have to have custom manifolds made.

Ok sweet I know ppl have recommended coilovers but wasn't sure what would give me the best performance and where do I get a 2.0 motor the most that I've seen over here is the 2zzfe and if I'm right that's just a 1.8 and that's what I have haha there is no other special model unless you import from japan over here and that's the one that comes with the action package I really appreciate all your telling me. Would a inline 6 really fit in that small compartment it looks like it barely has room for the little 4 banger lol

Those with 2.0ltr have them bored out to 2.0ltr, rather than fitting a different 2.0ltr lump in in.

No there is not much room at all, so a bigger sized engine would be a squeeze. With my supercharger setup, there's basically no spare room!

I can imagine haha I want to turbo it I think as of right now I do anyways but it's 5000 for a kit and that'll take a while haha
