Default Spoolxexo's SC400 DD build.

Hey guys, it's been a while hasn't it?

As some of you may know, I did a *Budget* 1jz sc300 a while back.

I put the car together for only a couple grand, and it had a HX35 1jz and a R154 behind a welded diff.

The car was tons of fun to beat the crap out of, but not comfy on the highway or even in traffic.

This new car is staying the way it was intended from Lexus. Stereo, A/C, and comfort all around.

150k miles, Auto, Open Diff, Bone stock 1UZ-FE, and every option including the phone.

But I wouldn't be that crazy DIY guy named Nick, who calls himself Spoolxexo on internet forums, if I didn't intend to tweak it a *little* bit...More on that later.


A little background on myself, and why I am here.

To be truthfully honest, I am painfully intelligent when it comes to this stuff called cars.

I am 31 years old, and I run a small fabrication shop out of my home.

I have been tuning and building Import cars since 1996, and I never intend to stop.

I TIG weld, I wire, I wrench, I solder, I give advice, I will discourage you from being too dumb.

I LOVE Club Lexus, And I certainly love contributing to the higher knowledge of our Clique.

Hey thanks bud.

Yeah, it's too bad you have to live with people like that in life.

I might Turbo the 1UZ and throw a GTE autobox in there to hold the torque.

But for now, I love driving it!

Got the Supra Radiator installed and bled yesterday, the A/C charged up, and the HID's installed.











Next are the Supra TT Brakes, and maybe a Turbo!
