Default New to the Lexus Life, Intro

Well Figured id start off on Clublexus with an introductory just like all other forums.

Anyways My names Pat, Im 22 and from New Hampshire. Ive been building all sorts of cars throughout the last 6 years and i now i recently just purchased a 92 sc300 with a 2jzge/auto in it. the motor was ticking and i didnt feel like dealing with the ge as it was anyways. so i purchased a 1jz from the same person i picked up the sc from. i guesss this car was also a former member on here but i dont know his user name. the car is in pretty rough shape on the inside and some of the exterior. so as of now ill be doing a short and quick build on the lexus to get me by while i finish up a long term project which is my 1994 rx7 fd. im planning on using the sc for street driving and for some local drifting at New hampshire international speedway.


heres some pics of it alll.

SC
first day home:





the damage


tow rig/daily


FD project: i previously rb25 swapped it but removed it and some other parts to rebuild it all the way ive always wanted it.. new motor to come soon.




dont mind the te's and there terible fitment. 9.5's were way to small..



my harness is all Fcked up so im currently looking for a nice uncut jzz30 soarer harness so i can just drop it right in. the 1jz is currently in the car but the harness is so hacked so im going ot just replace it at this point. if anyone has one let me know please

I still envy every person that has had the chance to own a FD. I personally love that quirky little 13b but understand why people would dump it for financial reasons and sanity.
That bodywork is amazing. Love the way it's pulled together. The TE's aren't bad especially for the small width but the fenders have room so fill them up! I love a nice set of Advan's on an FD, doesn't really matter which style.
