Default New here, Just got my 96 SC300

Just a little start off my name is Mike and I'm from Illinois. I've loved SC's since the first day I saw one as a wee child running around a lexus dealership my dad worked at. I've never really tuned a car before, so I'm going to have the help of my brothers friends and some of mine to make sure I don't screw anything up =D.

Would the Injen short ram intake fit on my car? If not are there others? What are some other upgrades I could do to the engine that dont include a swap or turbo of any sort? I'm pretty low on money right now so it's going to be a while before I do anything.

I'm messing with ya...I work 5 miles away from you.
You now have to go to the Chicago section and introduce yourself....You have 5mins to complete this task!!!!

Then you must deliver Lou Malnati's Pizza to my work Monday around noon! As an offering of piece and goodwill...I need to inspect your car after I eat.


Welcome

I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life....selling my Platinumsc300. I really miss her. The GS350 does not fill the void.
Anyway, I still feel like part of the SC community so welcome to the world of SC ownership. The car is expensive to mod/maintain but you will love her anyway. You'll want to spend more and more. You'll want to keep her forever....hopefully, you will.

Welcome man, looks like a great car, I wish you luck with her and you should come out to the meets when they're being held, see some other people that drive the same cars and enjoy some good food. Oh, and do not forget to use the Search function for all your questions, and read the stickies regarding maintanace.
