Default new guy

hey guys my name is wes and i have been on the forums for awhile now, except i was in the GS forum, as i have wrecked my GS. after riding in a lexus, i didnt want to drive anything else, so i was able to find this beauty. a '95 sc400 wit 155k on the dash. it is in very good condition as far as the exterior goes. i will be picking it up on tuesday or wednesday. whenever we get the bank to finalize everything. here is a pick of the SC at the dealer, and also a pic of my last car. even tho i never got to finish it.

Default Need Help

I just bought a 1995 toyota soarer rhd 1jz twin turbo I wanted to know if anybody on the forum has had problems with the c12 ceramic turbines. Some people don't me to upgrade but I wanted to get you all feel or take on it because many have told that the C12 turbo breaks easily and you will want to replace it or put a steel turbine wheel in it. Somebody please help me

The CT12 turbos will break from you thinking about them for too long

Default 1993 Lexus SC400

Hey guys, just got my SC400 about three months ago. 212k miles on it.
Interior is in awesome shape. Body needs some touch-up, maybe repaint.
Everything else is stock. Only thing I've added are the wheels.
I also sent in my cluster to Lextech, since my needles were dead.

Here are some pics:

Planning to get a double din stereo, and to upgrade my steering wheel.
Looking forward to any advice, thanks!

Recently moved from a green SC to a White supercharged manual sleeper.
Lots of mods but not many photos and nothing overly visible from the outside...
