Newbie here crossing over from the honda world...
Hello all. I am currently in the market for an SC300. I recently talked with Larry from Sound Performance and have many ideas now floating around in my head
. I own a retail store in St. Louis, Missouri called Advanced Imports of St. Louis. My plans for my vehicle are as follows. 1. Attain a high milage sc300(currently looking so if anyone has one for sale or knows of one let me know) 2. Turbo(most likely at sound performance, as they are the closest shop that have experience with the application). I will also be rebuilding the bottom end. If anyone has done so , please share your experiences. Thanks

Ethan is taking his SC far further than most and has experience changing the rear end to a Supra TT manual and automatic. I bought the auto rear recently.
Like I said Sound Performance and Ethan are your greatest resources.

G-Mo is that your car in the picture? I too have a red civic that is modified(very stock looking though) and looking to change to an SC300 this winter/coming spring. Let me know how it turns out.

Welcome to the forum,used to have a 'teg myself,2000 GSR,loved it,but that rwd SC will put a smile in your face every time.
Talk around,or check out Supraforums.com for more info on high hp turbo motors.Those cars are a great resource for hi-po goodies,since they're pretty much the same mechanically.

I had three Hondas now I'm down to two... I'm located in north county off of bellefontaine and Highway 270. I dont do interior as far as upholstery I just sell aftermarket seats,dash kits,metal floormats,etc.
I will never go back though, I love my SC and probably iwll love it more once it's got an T in the engine code

I was in your boat about a year and a half ago. I bought a fairly high mile SC and turboed it.
I am located in Springfield--down the highway from you about 3 hours. Check out our board: www.417imports.com
We've got a lot of STL folk on there...and 2 Turbo Lexus owners.
Best of luck with your search.

Ahh, greetings fellow Honda x-overs. I am yet another...except, I curse the day I traded my Civic...
Nothing like schooling NSX's and Supra TT's in an 11 second 1.6L four-banger...God dammit I miss that car so much...
I love my SC300, but my GOD could it be any slower? Well, I am considering dropping in a newer 2JZ-GE (mine has 123k on it), and turbocharging it. God I need some SPEED...!!!
