Default 92 Sc300 from then till now

So my love affair with Sc's started young. When i ws around 11 my Step mom got her first sc400. Ever since then i knew i had to one day i would own one. In late 2011 i sold my volvo (i know) and began the search. Found a clean 92 3K3 5speed for the right price....soooooooo


Bought my Sc in Febuary of 2012. Bone stock. Unmollested 5 speed.

Fast forward to March of 2013. Car had been great. No issues overall. Ran the car at the track at least a couple times a month. Quickest ever out of stock GE and W58 was 14.4@91.

Put a sc400 wing on, and had the stock front repainted along with some 18in cobra wheels at the time.

Went out and got myself a turbo. Older Precision 60-1. This got the ball rolling on the na-t.

Did some research. Went with a log manifold for clearence. Ordered oil lines and the downpipe. and started teardown

Had my go to local shop do a valve job, resurface, and add new stem seals to the head. They did an awesome job...looked new

Bumper trimmed and fitted. Didnt like it hanging below the 92.

Uh oh, another boosted SC in the mix. Love the progress. I am wondering how that particular exhaust manifold will work....
Keep the pictures coming.
