New SC owner. What do ya think. Opinions?
Hi everyone, my name is Dustin. i just got my SC a couple weeks ago and am loving it. have wanted on fore years and finally got it.
Its a 97 SC300 5 speed. black with tan interior (only thing i don't like about the car).
But its in great shape and has really been taken care of.
the car was basically stock other than an aftermarket head unit and a sub in the trunk, aswell as HID headlights and yellow fogs. which are all mods i would have done
When i first got her home
I wanted it because I wanted a fairly cheap toyota drift car that would be reliable. it will be daily driver / daily slider
First thing I did was throw on some wheels i had lying around, get an APEXi N1 muffler welded on with 2 1/2" piping from the cat back converted to single exhaust (better pics to come in the next couple of days, and order some coilovers.
I went with K-Sport Prodamper
still need some spacers but i have to work out the ride height first and roll the fenders.
Here is a before and after when i installed the coilovers
I also plan on doing the BFI. not sure what else to do. I don't know if i want to eventually go na-t or go gte swap. but either way its a ways off and would like to make alittle more power for now. i may get a header and nology hotwires, but not sure what else to do.
Also considering welding the diff. don't really want to spend the money on a lsd, but it is peg legging like a *****.
anywayz here are a couple more pics of it the way it sits as of now, will get some better pics sunday after i do a good cleaning and waxing. the weather hasn't been good for it yet so i have had the chance.
It has alot of rock chips on the hood, but i havn't decided if i should repaint the front end or just get a carbon hood.
I am looking for a Carbon Front Lip also but can't seem to find one for sale, any suggestions.
Thanks and any suggestions welcome

i just texted a friend and that is the one he suggested too.
i guess thats the one i will go with.
and i live in MS so cops don't really care about street legal. no modification laws or emmission tests. only thing other than traffic violations they care about is tint and blue or red lights
