Hello CL community !! My name is Francisco. I'm from PR but I have been living in NY for the past 2 years. Have been lurking the forum for years and never post anything. Today is D-day ,I had 3 SC300 already and all of them have been strictly for drag. 3 weeks ago bought another sc300 '93 and change plans, now I'm doing my first street touring car. Already have a lot of parts from the other cars ,so should be quick build. Hope I can know some members in the NY- long Island area. Soon I'll make a post of the new car.

Default Waddup 2017 enthusiasts

Waddup, I'm Fail Finger. I'm 25 years old and I own a 1991 Mazda b2200 that I'm building into a drift truck and I was trying to purchase another vehicle. Most of my friends said if I could afford an SC300 I should go with it because they are awesome. I did some digging and found out they are above my expectations (not to mention the base 2j that comes with it). So one popped up in my neighborhood for a ridiculous steal and I had to jump on it before someone else realized what it was. After a day of driving I gotta say it's wiked comfy. Everything works and ive been told these things are super reliable (if maintained). Nice to meet you all. I'm also from Maine where drifting isn't really a thing but I'm within an hour drive of club loose north. I'm also still on the fence of building the SC300 I may just use it as a daily just based off of how nice it is haha.

Default SC300 Replace/Rebuild suction throttling valve AKA evaporative pressure valve

Need help with the A/C in my 1992 SC300 for the upcoming Atlanta Summer. Looks like my EPR is bad. Can I rebuild/Bypass? Can I use a cheaper EPR from a different vehicle? Would replacing O-Rings and Diaphragm work? Dealer wants $890 for the part alone. Any help appreciated. Here are the pictures:





Best Regards,
Michael
Not willing to give up on my 1992 SC300

Hey guys been out of here for years...had a beat to death 5 speed 300 sold it and got a sc300 low mileage 300 auto, sold it now I'm back with a 400....all I can say is wow man, 165 on the clock but driving it feels like 6k on the clock. Didn't know how much I like and missed these cars, it even has the original phone in it records from Lexus dating back to 93 along with the ore owned Lexus paperwork....love it.

I'm john, from Ohio. I've been lurking for a while until I bought my '95 SC3 a few weeks ago. Always wanted an SC, but there were never any for sale for realistic prices lol. I plan to drift it, but it needs some help in the transmission and power departments first.

Default 1997 Lexus SC300

Purchased this SC300 right around Christmas 2016. It is very clean, with just 78K miles, and a spotless interior. I have enjoyed driving it, even though I was a bit surprised by the power. This car would be perfect with my wife's Camry apparent V6 power, but acceleration is not everything. I chose this car after trying for months to find a Supra, and a search turned up this car on Craigslist. I snapped it up, as it had the lowest mileage I had seen, and very nice lines. Every Supra I looked at was trashed out. This car has a few tiny dings in the paint and 1 small parking lot door ding. I have had to replace the Alternator and battery, and the thermostat gasket, which had ballooned and shredded to where it had a small leak. Otherwise it looks and drives great. I don't know if I will do anything but drive and maintain, but is very tempting to add a few HP.

Hello guys my names Spencer. I just bought my first sc300. Its a 93 with original 5speed. Sitting on 18in enkei racing rims. I bought it with a nat setup on it. Previous owner put all of it on the car. Pretty much I'm finishing someone else's project. It ran and drove really good. Don't know the hp on the car because it never got put on the Dyno. Anyways I'm currently having spark problems and my map ecu got fried. Dose anyone have a map ecu lying around?

Default Sc '93

I've recently received a beautiful '93 SandStone Beige SC400 and I'm loving it!
I have some issues with the the noise it had as it has a X-Pipe but I've decided to get that silenced (which hurt!)

But other than that, been loving every moment of it. Shall upload some pics soon!

That's really cool! Sounds like you found a real clean gem with low miles.
