Default Joined the SC crowd. Pics of my new 98 SC3
I was looking for a car to replace the GS400 i had, was going to buy a Supra but some trouble with my job/finances came up. Looking through auto trader, found this beauty, a 98 SC3 with 70k miles on for a GREAT price. I couldn't be happier! The interior is PERFECT! The CD changer needs to be fixed but other then that, it's cherry.

at this point, the car's so damn clean and perfect it'd be a crime to do much i'll just enjoy it for now, maybe try to find a better flowing intake for it, maybe a header and remove resonators then tune it w/ an SAFC. other then that, it'll stay pretty much stock on the outside.

only thing is there isn't much for a 98 SC, will the pre years intake/exhaust/header work? I've looked on all lexus store sites, not much out there for us 98+.

Hmmmm here is an idea.....Keep everything stock exterior wise. Then TURBO that SC!! Can you imagine how sleeper that would be?? You would scare/surprise so many people on the road!

Anyways I love your SC especially b/c of the newer body style and the updated interior like the shifter. Very nice buy!

yeah i was thinking about that, but with 70k on the car it's just so new! i'll probably just open up the breathing for a bit, tune it with an SAFC and enjoy the ride.,
