I put on my new SC300 license plate frame and repolished my headlights. I need to save up for new headlights though.

si right now I'm confused

i was thinking about starting the build thread too since I me taken few pics of the build, will do one of these days!! Thanks Blkexcoupe!!
I would feel bad about taking a 1uz vvti out of either car, but whatever car you decide to swap into, I'm looking forward to reading the build thread.

Yeah I hate to say so but last week I was rear ended and the crushed the body where the side panel meets the rear bumper.
Two days later I was drifting a local spot and curbed my driver front wheel. - adjusted the tow angle and tiptoed home listening to a loud click from what turned out to be my LCA ball joint making contact with tire spokes.
I've got the strut/shock pair removed and tomorrow I will be taking the lower control arms to mountain home so I can have a new set made to add very minimal camber. Also, everything is off already, maybe I will look at coilover and slam it on 18s.
Red penguine,
Over and out.

Did the dreaded spark plug change along with distributor rotor and cap. Took me too long to finish, since the plug wires were hard to pull out; I ended up using vice grips.


Also received 97+ tails from a member here and picked up a set of fogs I got off an auction on eBay.

Those sizes have a lot of potential to be the perfect size on a SC if you were to consider relipping them. Did the originally come off of a NSX? Based on the lip sizes and offset it seems like your fronts would clear a supra tt caliper without a spacer too.

Dropped the SC400 off at the Magnaflow r&d center yesterday for them to develop a SC cat back. Hopefully getting the car back Friday night so will make a thread and update everyone.

It was made for a GS400. Those wheels clear my ISF also, ample amount of space. I am only running the LS brakes up front and not a problem.

Cleaned just my interior today since the weather in central Texas has been so crappy for the past week. As soon as it clears up and continues with the regularly scheduled program I'll wash and add another coat of wax.

Soon: Full APT AC style polyurethane kit, 5Zigen Fireball replica mufflers, window tint (has NONE, I'm dying in Texas) black interior dye and still deciding on wheels/suspension set up.
