Default My SC story [56k not friendly]

hello CL i never properly introduced myself, but better late than never.

i also had NO mechanical experience but learning through CL i learn how to change radiator, suspension, brakes, and a few other stuff that i thought i would never knew.

Thanks CL!


I came from a 1991 240sx SE hatch 5spd super clean.


Then i saw the SC gone wild and within a week i sold it and picked up a nice clean 1995 sc300 5spd blk/blk



had some type of headers + tein CST coils of course back then i didn't know anything about those mods..

after a month.. after dropping off a friend at her house around 10pmish i gotten in a accident with a lifted truck without his lights on..





after a couple of weeks we found a nice 97 blk/blk auto




got the ls400 bbk.. with r1 rotors worked till 2am on a school day wasn't fun..




picked up DDM HID


then i let my brother drive the car..

cracked the midpipe


hit a cone on the 60 going around 80mph or so
cracked the driver side foglight

the infamous cracked window regulator breaking and rolling down the window causing the door actuator to snap


then it started getting better..

picked up a nice set of TT suspension for cheap


then i sold them a month or two later and picked up megans..


finally got as low as my brother.


picked up a HIC roof spoiler also, they sent me the wrong one and then they sent the correct one and told me to keep the other as a gift!
