test fitted some 10.5 +0 can't wait until i buy wheels for this thing. fender pull, 235/40's, and some camber and it should pop in like nothing.

I also noticed my car doesnt make any sounds anymore!!! i guess all the clicks were just my old shocks!!! xD

idk the amount of replies this thread has is pretty discouraging to see. I kind of don't even want to continue posting in this thread because of it.

Default Build hey

Bro. Welcome to the sc game. The reason your not getting much response is the amount of work you do n post is too slow . Most builds are engine swaps complete interior redoes or a combination of everything. Wait until you do several things then post it all at once ,that gives readers more to comment on . Nice ride btw Chek out my build thread n see what I mean. Good luck with the sc.

thanks, but thats the thing so a build means engine work interior work and etc? I'm not planing on doing that much with a v8 sc400. I am building the car to my liking and for now its mostly been maintenance. I figured it was because most of the guys here really all care about is going fast. I do plan on doing a w58 or ka24 5 speed swap sooner or later but for now nothing crazy with performance. Ill just post in this build thread to keep track of whats been done etc.

Hey Paulo, I love reading this build just because I'm pretty much in the same situation you are in. I'm 17 and own a 92 sc400 and I'm just starting to put money into maintenance things. Pretty much every paycheck I get it goes towards my car

But I really enjoy this thread just because it's more of what I'm planning on doing, because I know i'll never have the money to do a whole swap, turbo, manual swap, etc.

Just keep up the posting man!

since the last time i posted up here I have sold my LS400 brakes to pay for school, yay me. and just kept grabbing used tires to hold me over until i pick up new wheels and go lower.
I have relocated my wiring harness into my engine bay, and have ordered 97+ side skirts!

le sigh, that aftermarket mount looks like it had a bit more life left in it.

Fat front tires suck.

so far were pretty caught up, I am going to order my Motor mounts soon, awaiting arrival of my 97 sides, and still trying to sell my 95 tails and still paying for school. that college broke life sucks man.

supposedly a custom color but very similar to my garnett red it may look like a lighter shade but when the car is in the sunlight like this its very similar
thanks again JH282!
