I should have specified my plans, and what's already done to the vehicle.

I'm planning to try to get a more aggressive wheel fitment with these wheels, and drop it on a nice set of coil overs.

I also have plans this winter to do a manual swap, I'm still trying to decide on a transmission.

Car is sitting on Enkei Raijin rims. They are Hyper silver, and they are a staggered setup. The car also is running 20% tint all around, tinted tail lights, and tinted side markers. It's 100% straight piped from the cats-back.

I'm currently just trying to fix it mechanically, and get all the dings removed. Once that's all situated I plan to take care of the things that I really want!

Paintless Dent Removal
Fixing the big dent on top of my new bumper
Fixing my radio (crackling / popping / etc)

THEN! Coilovers

I'm most likely going with Megan EZ Street coilovers, but I want something with a very stiff ride so I can drop it low low low.

Do I need fender modifications with my wheels as they are? I just want an aggressive look, not the tucked wheel in fender look.

I'll take a look!

I'm currently on my way to get my car from the shop, The driver side Coil Pack went bad and that's what caused limp mode etc.

Car is all good now! And my radio suddenly has no issues? What in the world!

Very soon the car will be getting all the small dents removed, and it will be back to how it should be.

I'm planning to install a new head unit soon tho!

Post My car hates me.

Sorry this build has had no recent updates..

Recently:

I got a nail in the drivers side tire, the car didn't pass inspection, I got hit by a shopping cart, and I just spent 700$ on maintenance.

New brake pads/rotors in the front, oil change, coolant change, and I'm on the hunt for a resonator for the center to pass inspection.

Pics will be up later, this car literally hates me!

So I've really taken a break from the car scene, but I'm back at it.

Today, I'm planning on removing my airbag light, and cleaning up the interior. I thought about selling my SC, had it listed, and then a woman backed into my car. Long story short, it needs some work.

Right now I'm going to remove the air bag light to start off. This is one of the first project of many to come!

Pictures will be posted soon!

No more airbag light (Tanin Auto Cluster)



No More Airbag Light!!!

Shrugy I say get the body fixed and save for a 1j or 2j swap. Trust me you will enjoy your car after you put some work into it. I know another black boosted SC in your area besides me that can lend some help with swap questions

Thats's all apart of the plan, but I'm also waiting for a friend of mine because they are currently making a full bolt on turbo kit for the SC400.

I'm curious how much power it would make, along with the price.

I'm in the process of looking for a few interior black parts, and it's coming along quite well!

So with the goal of doing a 2 tone black interior conversion, I am finally actually doing it!

Parts Ordered:
Pioneer 7" Head Unit with Bluetooth and the Metra Kit


Black Center Console Trim
Black Shift Boot/Shift Handle
Black Fold Down Cup Holder
Black Flip Up Cup Holder
Black Steering Plastic Cover
Black Dashboard
Black Cipher Racing Seats X2
Black Vinyl to wrap the wood trim
Black Auto Shifter
4 Black Floor Mats
Black Hazard, Temp, and Volume *****
Black 92-94 front bumper with Lip


The only part I need left is to order the IS300 steering wheel!

Final Goal:



What's a good price to have a 92-94 Bumper repainted black?

We are practically neighbors. I work in Warminster. Live in Doylestown. Grew up in Richboro. Small world.

My car is gonna look sharp come April. I'll be on coilovers, and a few other suspension mods. I'm waiting for Sean Musa to finish building the turbo kit for the SC, I'm curious what it's going to cost and if it's feasible, I would love to do it!

And that's so funny we are pretty much neighbors! Do you drive an SC???!
