Default NEW member Introduction/i need help lol

Name is Cody I’m 19yrs old live in tarpon springs Florida. I have had 15 cars since I was 15. Im a beginner driver a motorsport called drifting at the age of 16 and it has been my life since. I have competed and been involved in many practice events and 3 actual prized events. I started out with all s-chassis (Nissan 240sx) until about 2009 then I got to be a fan of the jzx family (Toyota Cressida’s)..the current car i have now is a BMW 325is (E36) and i am trading it this week for a 1992 lexus sc400 with an automatic 1jzgte swapped.

with the trade im getting a full body kit (aero),origan tail lights.sportmaxx 962's and the original 1uzfe full swap.

current car:




THE PARTS I NEED TO GET IT RUNNING BEFORE I DO THE 5 SPEED SWAP ARE

SC300/400 head lights both
sc300 automatic drive shaft asap



if interested in old pics of my old cars and my drifting lmk

THANKS Cody

No, ORIGIN doesn't make taillights- they do resell some though. They mostly make bodykits.

Agreed its great to see a bimmer owner switching over.

Not trying to bash your previous brand of vehicle as it looked pretty good but ive heard too much lately about the repair costs and constant issues with them.

Hope you enjoy your new sc and from what i can see it looks pretty good.

shouldnt be that hard, craigs list is where i get most of my parts , im also new to the forum and have seen people selling used parts on here , i just got a 93 sc300 , i would recomend reinforcing the tranny on the automatic. i was going to boost mine i have twin turbos sitting in my closet but i dont want to take the risk of killing the tranny .i figured i would get a 1 jz swap after this 2jz gives up. but welcome to the cluc man , and good luck
