Welcome! Beautiful SC you've got there.
Do all the mods from ground up or did you buy it that way?

ha, ha, slush box? funny. No, it is a auto tranny, but funny you ask I just got back from Panama City, Flordia for spring break, it was beyond awesome, but now since I am running a little over 350 at the wheels, my tranny is slipping- bad. I have to get a built tranny and torque converter from kean at boostlogic out of houston now that can handle around 800 hp. I was thinking of getting a 6-speed conversion or 5-speed conversion, but after spending $12,000 on what I have so far not including the price of the car, getting the conversion is looking like it is out of the picture for now, until I get more money.

A high powered AT turbo SC300 would be pretty cool and different cuz I don't know of anyone running big numbers on an automatic.

Well, I used to own a '95 es300 and always liked the sc300's. So I tried to find a way to get rid of my car and get a sc. Unfortunately, as my luck has it, my friend ended up flipping my es300 in november with me in it! It was then totaled. So, I had the opp. to get a new car, so I got what I wanted which was a sc300. So I got one. My friend worked at toyota at the time and told me about the supra and sc300 similarites. So, that is how I found out about turbo sc's.
