Hey guys, just got a sweet deal for my 95 SC300 Original 5 Speed and have started doing work on it already. As some of you may know I traded my stock 96 Civic coupe on coilovers for this. I haven't ran into any problems yet except for an exhaust leak. I love this car so much now. My dad used to have one back in the day and I've liked them ever since. Its not the best looking SC, I know but its a diamond in the rough to me and I'm goin to bring her back. It has no rust at all and runs strong as hell for what it is. When I first got the car it had these parts:

-Blue and Black A3 Racing Seats w/o Sliders
-Welded Diff
-Mercury Grand Marquis Wheels
-Megan Racing Coilovers
-Full 3" Exhuast (Unsure of brand, but sounds awesome)
-Budwiser Beer Tap Shifter
-Electric Fan
-Aftermarket Intake (Unsure of brand)
-S2000 Antenna

Since I got ahold of it I have done:
-LivAuto Seats w/ Sliders
-Black 350Z Wheels
-Fixed Exhaust Leak
-Kenwood Rear Deck Speakers
-JVC Bluetooth Headunit (Extra Dope)
-Restored Headlight Lenses

My near future plans are to:
-Get painted gloss black
-Put a NA-T setup together
-8K HIDs
-Soarer Badges
-Rear seats upholstered
-LSD
-MAYBE some Vossens

I'm still in clean up mode on the car, she has no body damage which is excellent and it has 168xxx miles on it. The previous owner was a drifter but I'm not really into that; I'm more of a straight line/ togue kinda fella lol. I'm open to all opinions and ideas, so if you guys have anything to say to point me in the right direction feel free. I'm a Honda guy so I'm kinda new to the who Lexus/ Toyota side of things although i use to have a MK3 Supra w/ a 1JZ swap lol.

I must chime in now.. The wheels wasn't a bad start in the beginning, but now the 350 Z wheels are a bonus, I might add. The interior needs some work ,but most of our SC's in the beginning needed some attention somewhere or another. You will NOT miss the Honda world by any means. The SC's are pretty rare, and Honda's, well anyone can mod them. I say welcome to the SC community and the car is off to a great start. You must take detailed pictures of the entire build, or I will be forced to close the THREAD and LOCK it for eternity. Just kidding man...

Again great start, and welcome aboard to the land of SC's. Please remove the shifter, for the love of GOD.

Yeah its just my weekend **** though

Thanx homie!

Haha eventually I'll get tired of the Budwiser **** and get rid of it but it might be a while I only use that **** on the weekends. Yeah the Merc wheels weren't bad but I couldnt pass up the deal for the 350 wheels lol. Straight trade.

Thanx bro lol!

Yeah I liked them alot.

Lol I will definitely be taking detailed pics the whole way through no doubt, but you are also correct the more I dig into the SC the more I put the idea of the Honda game in the back of my mind lol. And thanx for the compliments everyone!

Indeed

Car looks great already! Looks almost like the SC i just bought. I like it a lot better on the Grand Marquis Wheels. Great start though

omglookSC

Thanx bro. The Grand Marquis wheels were clean but i think the 350 wheels give it a more aggressive look.

Looks good and do what you please don't let these "classy" lexus folks tell you you can't do something with your car.

i think a black interior would look soo much better than the tan, especially with the red seats. good luck and sweet shifter ****, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
