Monky London<\/a> held a raffle for this unique Toyota Altezza Gita Z Edition. Instead of being powered by a naturally aspirated 2JZ inline-six, this wagon is powered by a 4.3 L 3UZ-FE V8<\/a> from a Lexus GS430. The V8 features a custom 3-inch stainless steel exhaust and runs on a remapped GS430 ECU thanks to a Phoenix Engine Management wiring harness<\/a>. Behind the motor is a J160 six-speed manual transmission with a Rank One Performance adapter<\/a> and a welded rear differential. The wagon rides on HSD adjustable coilovers, Destroy Or Die shortened spindles<\/a>, Cusco adjustable upper control arms, and electric power steering. The exterior features Gita Neo aero, Elixir V2 rear spoiler, and OZ Futura Monoblock 17-inch wheels. <\/p>\n
