Default Been a lurker for a while, but I finally have an SC!!!

Hey everyone,

About a week and a half ago I purchased a '95 SC300 5 speed. The car has 174,500 miles on her, but I know that's nothing compared to what it can take and the car appears to have been reasonably taken care of. A little background information on me...I have owned several MK3 supra turbos and served as a moderator on supramania.com in the past. Having said that, the SC300 is just like an updated supra, so I am extremely content. I look forward to tastefully modding the car because I like to auto-x and just have a nice looking, respectable car. Here are some pics, however dirty she may be.


The car originally had some kind of gross-looking fart can, so I took her down to my favorite muffler place and had some magnaflow 14829's put on with a custom 2.25" exhaust. It turned out very nice and was exactly the look I was going for. Non-stock to the trained eye, but stock-looking enough as to not draw attention to myself.















Thanks for having me, CL!

-Drake

$4400. I thought it was a very good deal considering the condition of the car and what is usually found around here.

Hi Drake,

Socalsupras moderator here. Seems like there are many MK3 Supras owners who are growing up and moving on into the Soarer. Both cars with similar driving dynamics. A70 to Z30 FTW. My owning problem was I didn't have the heart to hock either one. Enjoy the JZZ30.

It came with the car, but I doubt any power is really added. If anything, I would expect that the stock airbox with a K&N would be better.
