Gave up on the sc400 and picked up an sc300
I initially picked up an sc400 before I was a bit more aware of the performance possibilities of the sc300. It would be nice to go through the turbo route of the sc400, but budget constraints just didn't make sense. I recently just sold off my 95 sc400 and picked up a '92 sc300 off ebay with the following mods:
-1JZ-GTE swap with 45k on engine
-Precision PT67-76 Turbo Kit
-Custom Turbo manifold and Tial 38mm external wastegate
-HKS exhaust/ intake 264 cams
-4 Row Intercooler
-Greddy Profec A electronic boost controller
-3 inch downpipe
-3 inch mandrel bent catback exhaust system
-Greddy Emanage
-Blitz Access Ecu
-ACT clutch kit
-HKS SSQ Blow off valve
-Custom Fuel Rail
-Siemens 680cc injectors
-Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator
-Walbro 255 fuel pump
-HKS DLI2 Ignition amplifier
-Autometer boost and air fuel gauge
-HKS Hipermax II Coilovers
-Pioneer In dash double din DVD player
-12 inch Subwoofer Rockford Fosgate
-Pioneer 800w Amplifier
-Raceonusa front lip
-Custom headlights
-Custom taillights
-19" Ruff Racing staggered wheels
-HID headlights
I ended up picking up the car for under 10k which I felt was a pretty good deal. A major deciding factor for me was that I don't know how to work on cars yet so I couldnt take the time to install everything myself. It should come next week and hopefully everything will check out ok. I look forward to having a taste of what all the sc300 guys have been enjoying.

LOL, no pictures until those "custom taillights" gets resolved. I'm actually going to contact the guy that bought my 95 sc400 and see if he wants to trade tail lights so I can get them back.I was a bit disheartened that he didn't include the stock taillights, but considering he gave me a backup Garrett Gt35r turbo for free, I'll let it slide.
