2004 SC430
This car hardly gets modded extensively, so hopefully you'll include at least one in your calendar..
Short Biography
I'm currently a student at CSUF. I've worked very hard to get where I'm at with this car. I'm still working and going to school fulltime and I find great pleasure in modding a car that usually isn't even toyed with. I love this community and have made many great friends on this forum. I got lucky and stumbled upon a Black / Black 430 and snatched it up right away. This is the car that I've always dreamed of owning and that dream has finally come true .

Not allot of really good photos of the car. Been too busy building it. But here you go! Pretty much a one of a kind RX330 in the USA. Extremely rare and even more rare done well.
Mods:
WALD International Excecutive like lip kit and parking mirror plug
Universal Air Suspension
AccuAir Digital Auto Leveling
VIP Modular VR06 Custom Staggered fitment 21's Step lip polished lip, brushed face and polished sides.
Weapon R Cold Air Intake
Magnaflow exhaust and mid pipe resonator
DAD neck rests special edition Light Grey Leather
DAD passenger side table retrofit for LHD
HID 4300K Fogs
Thundercloud edition front grill
Lots of OEM JDM stuff no one really cares about.
PS: I am a photographer and can schedule a shoot for my car if needed. I have interior shots if you want as well.

This is my 3rd SC. I got my first one at the age of 16, a 92 SC4. It was a lemon but it made me fall in love with the car. Since then, I picked up a 97 SC4 which I sold, and have been building this SC for the past two years. I flew all the way to Denver, CO to get it with no regrets. The previous owner took great care of it and did all the performance mods. I took it and made it my own. I've ran into a couple spots of bad luck with the car. It was totaled twice due to reckless drivers but I have always held on to it. Dealing with a couple maintenance problems now and cannot wait to have her up and running smoothly again. Future mods will be custom taillights, welding on new exhaust tips, new headlights, and just cleaning up some of the flaws.

Short Bio:
I saved up all throughout highschool working every summer to buy this working 2-3 jobs most summers. Because I go to school in another state I only get to drive the car during the summertime but I have made so many friends from cars over the past summer. This thing has really opened up my world and it's not just about the car itself, its about the same passion I have for my car that I could see in new friends that I've made from clublexus and just local meets that really makes me appreciate this thing. One man's commuter truly is another man's hotrod. I literally bought this off of a guy who hated commuting in this and wanted something fast and manual transmission. It still has under 100k Miles and plenty more left in her! But yeah thats my short bio.

Thanks Husker! I got the tips from an S2K forum member. Google S2K forums and it's usually the most popular forum.
The benefits to a muffler delete is that it gives the car a more aggressive tone and growl. Definitely sounds much better. I believe there are a couple links to what it sounds like if you search 'muffler delete' on the SC430 section.

I have these in much higher res without the watermark if chosen I can send them. I don't think I need to mention this but I will anyway: make sure that whichever photos you use you have the rights to republish them as I notices a lot of these photos have watermarks from photographers. I took mine so no worries here.

Wouldn't say that my 92 LS stands up to some of the others here, but is simple and unique. STILL a work in progress, comes as the money does. Hope you like,, I DEF need some new pics as well as some high quality ones ,,
MODS:
Exterior:
Pretty much bone stock with a few minor touches thrown in to set her apart from the others.
a. Monotone black paint job (gave it to her as a sweet 16)
b. Imported in some JDM one piece design headlights
c. JDM clear turn signals in the bumper
d. Junction Produce "eyelids"
e. Turn signal mirror covers (fit over existing stock mirrors)
f. 20% tint on the windows
g. Mesh Grill with Blacked out surround (came from Erebuni kit). Hated the
kit, but thought I could get the grill to not look too bad.
h. Junction produce "Fusa X-edition"(pretty rare here) fusa in window.
Suspension:
a. Lowered on H&R springs (wanted a small drop with roads here in MD)
b. KYB-GR2 shocks all around
C. Polyurethane bushings in the rear
d. Daizen bushing kit for front end as well as steering rack.
Wheels:
Not even gonna front here. Not a high quality wheel but has stood the test of time over what I paid for them (not much)
18X 8.5 Panther 404C with random Lexus "L" to flow with my look.
235/40/18(front)/// 245/40/18(rear) Kumho Ecsta ASX tires
Interior:
Bone stock. Like I stated,,, STILL a work in progress.
5 1/4" Alpine speakers in the doors (stock size is 4",,modded stock baffle to fit)
12" MTX Sledgehammer subs and MTX Thunder series box (in truck,,nothing special)
600 watt Bazooka amp and 1.2 Farad capacitor
Optima Yellow Top (under the hood)
Future mods:
a. NEW WHEELS,,,,,def a must for next year sometime
b. Exhaust needs to be redone,, little loud at the moment.
c. New Headunit,,still have the stock one,, is getting tired now. LOL!
Pretty much just gonna do a complete audio re-do.
D. Kicking around the thought of a custom Air setup (not sure yet)
e. Complete interior re-do
f. still kicking around the idea of doing a 1J or a 2J setup under the hood.
g. Still have a few more bushings to replace (driveshaft, differential, etc.)
h. Custom LED mods to the front (headlights, sidemarkers,,still plotting)
I. HID's are DEF in order
J. Spacers for the rear wheels,,,until I can get the new set.
I bought this car in 05, and being a trucker, only have time to ride/mod/enjoy it on the weekends only (hence the long build time). I bought it @ 154K miles and she currently is sitting @ 177K. She REALLY was not in the best of shape when I got her, but has been making a slow recovery, based on my pockets. Just went thru ALOT of maintenence work this past summer (Engine replaced, new ball joints,t-belt, plugs, wires, etc), so got to focus on keeping her running b4 I can re-focus on her styling. LOT of what I have put into her has been in the way of maintenance items, from having been neglected for so long. Has been a labor of love, and ALOT of frustration, but the one thing I DO know is that she STILL turns heads.

She REALLY was not in the best of shape when I got her, but has been making a slow recovery, based on my pockets. Just went thru ALOT of maintenence work this past summer (Engine replaced, new ball joints,t-belt, plugs, wires, etc), so got to focus on keeping her running b4 I can re-focus on her styling. LOT of what I have put into her has been in the way of maintenance items, from having been neglected for so long. Has been a labor of love, and ALOT of frustration, but the one thing I DO know is that she STILL turns heads.
