Hey everyone. I have been a member for about a month. Yesterday I just picked up my first lex a 95 blk on blk sc300 5speed. She has a few small issues, but little by little I will be working out the kinks. Will be starting a thread soon. Will post pics asap.

Hey there, my name is james. Don't have my sc yet but I'm about to buy one in the next week or so. I've seen one for sale on the forum and 2 on autotrader that look good. If anyone has any leads on a decent mileage 5 spd sc300 fs in the florida area please let me know!

Hi all. New to this forum. The next car im planning on getting is a sc300. So far im looking around for swap info. First I want to drop in a 2JZ then later a 5 speed swap.
I Heard this is a good place to learn. Any help or links to swap info would be great
Here are some current pics of my 240 hope you enjoy. Goal of the SC would be a daily for now then down the road a full track car.

Picked up this 400 pretty cheap i think... The interior is ****ed. Its missing driver side door panel, a pillars, and a few other random little tid bits. The dash/center console was painted black poorly so im going to fix this my next pay check and possibly get my seats reupholstered depending on how much it cost. They are BAD.

These look pretty good i think but the $180 price tag for seat covers seems steep. Last time I herd of someone getting their seats reupholstered was over 850 for fronts and rears though!
So hopefully by the end of January my interior will be nice and clean. Next month brings coils and 18s!

If you want seatcovers, buy new leather at leatherseats.com I believe it's 500 for fronts and rears

Officially introducing myselfff!
Okay so as the title reads... I'm officially introducing myself!
My name is Rachel... YES I am a girl.. haha. Recently picked up my first SC400 and am soo excited for the transformation that is gonna take place. It is a 1995 automatic with 166,000k miles, pearl white, and in need of some love! One of the last owners got it repo-ed so obviously they didn't take care of it. Pics can be found in my "album" on my page. It is in the shop right now getting the valve cover gaskets, transmission pan gasket, oil pan gasket, and front flex coupling replaced. Just ordered a brand new TopSpeed rear dual exhaust to be installed. After that.... I need to find side skirts and a rear lip/bumper to match my JIC replica front bumper and then its paint time! Then coil overs and deep dish rims The interior is a constant work in progress too! will be black and tan when finished. Hope to talk to everyone soon!

Hey guys and girls I've been on the forums for a little while now just haven't posted, I am looking to get a SC300 soon but the manuals are very rare but I may just have to settle for an auto because I love this car so much when I get one I'll be sure to take photos.
