This is my post of what I'm missing out on.. Post any of your good lexus finds from craigslist here!!



I had to go buy my effin sc400 at a car dealership for $4600 where if I could have just waited a month I could have gotten this!!! (but then I'd have to learn to drive standard)

well Just found an 88 toyota supra parts car for $500 and found this 7mgte supra engine - $500. Could they be fitted into an sc400?

1. you're comparing two different cars: sc400 vs SC300.

2. was your car new-er, had less miles, in better condition?
you have to take those things into consideration too..

7mgte, not worth it. Better off boosting a 2jz or finding a 1jz

^if he's talking about $500, boosting is nowhere bear that budget

if you have a smartphone, use the app "craigsphone" so everytime the keyword pop out on craigslist, you'll be the first one to know.

to get any good power out of a 7mgte you will need to dump some decent money into, plus the cost of the swap. Better off boosting an sc300.

still cant boost an sc300 with $500

b1ackhawk

LOL, ok ok, thats true, but you wont have a 7mgte in your sc and running for $500 either.

i agree with that, since SCs never came with a 7M

I wish we had more for sale around here. We get one clean, low mileage SC on Craigslist/Autotrader once every 4 or so months. Aside from my car, there were only two decent SC's for sale last year, and one this year.

mine was 136k miles.. and is in the same condition as when I bough it - the center consol things broke, the climate control does funny things.. and it has a very bad pull to the passenger side adn needs front brake pads bad.. im just at 140,600 miles now and 600 miles past due on oil change :/ why does it have to cost 50$ for an oil change? lol

Ok.. so what is the difference between sc400 and sc300?

I have mechanic friends who help me work on my car so labor is minimum to none. and since i need to replace my cats, what is the best for HP boost and to get that thick muscle sound? I was looking to replace the whole exhaust system - what would I need altogether to achieve this? If I can't afford to do it all at once, what would be the most important in the exhaust system to the least to replace in this project? I want to keep the dual exhaust and I want to downpipe it.

My goal is to get this out of my car:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1fwKQPBNdE
