Didn't no that the Lexus is200 had a 2.0 inline 6 is it a better than the m20b20 engine and would it fit in the e30?

Not a fan of them tbh, doesn't sound as good and quite a thirsty engine...I really wouldn't bother

A good friend of mine has an is200, as said above, not very quick and isn't very good on fuel. It's quite a nice car to drive though and looks nice
