Hey, cool to see you guys found our post!
I'm Cody, the art director/co-owner of S3 from Atlanta. I just picked up the car last week (traded my built S13 plus some cash for the SC). The car is black and has always been that way (the green is just a bit of lens flare from the photo). I believe it was originally owned by someone from Tennessee who had Titan do most of the work (I think), then a local guy from Atlanta (Stephen) purchased the car and later traded to me. I feel kinda lazy getting a car already built but couldn't really turn down the offer to get a car done this nicely.
Enjoying Lexus ownership so far though, and can't wait to do a few of my own touches to this car! Had a number of 240's over the years (professionally drifted for a few years but that's kinda slowed down), but wanted something a bit more refined and better for an all around street car. Planning on a few simple mods (coilovers, wheels, lip/simple aero) for now but other than that, I'm pretty content with the way it is now.
And for those curious, it ihas a 1J w/R154, Precision 67mm turbo, MAP2 ECU, OS Giken twin plate clutch, huge FMIC, and a bunch of other stuff. The previous owner made 474hp at 17psi (or so I was told) and it's currently running 20psi and should be right around 500hp. Plenty fast for me
