Default Been trolling for awhile, introoo.

Im all over 240 forums, ive been on here awhile just never really started posting until now. So ill keep this thread going with pics of updates and everything.
I traded one of my koukis for this '97 SC300 about a month ago, ive always wanted one, finally got one. Plans arnt really to big since ive got a kid, and im planning on moving out in the next month or so, but about the car. I love it, so comfortable.

She needs alittle work, high miles, plan on getting new oem headlights and fogs, probably end up going with a hi-power, 5speed swap, new front bumper and lip, back bumper repainted, wheels (undecided), tint, and just a touch screen, and alot of interior work, just a clean oem style'd dd is all im really looking for. It's sitting on PBM coils.







My last cars -














Sorry for picwhoring, but everyone loves pics, no lie. Ive had alot more 240's, that's just acouple. Haha. But im glad to be apart of this community and cant wait to learn more about these cars and get ideas and help you guys out.

Yeah she's kinda low. Doesnt rub that bad now that I got new tires on the front.

But the PBM coils are just about perfect on this car, there stiff and get rid of the body roll, but there not retarded stiff, they still ride VERY good for how slammed i am.

Hmmmm I may have to disagree on this one, but the Original Poster had some clean looking 240s in the past, which is good news.
