Default Updates!

Hey Guys, It has been forever since I posted on here. Been super busy with school, but recently I got those coilovers in, and had a friend come over and help me install them! They are awesome! such a comfortable ride. Not as soff and comfy as stock but near it. It grips and handles amazing with the power by max coilovers. here are some pics!
The guy who I got them from got different coilovers, went a little stiffer spring set-up to go lower i believe. I believe he is also on these forums. His name is Conor. Actually saw his ad of Facebook the northwest lexus owners group



Before & after


How she sits


Hid Fogs + Roller (super blurry i know)


All together


Dont worry, Not going for the slammed look for long. As soon as i can offord an R154 or possibly w58 i will go for the 5 speed swap. I think i wanna do tranny b4 engine but not sure.
Ill get some interior pics too in a bit

Smile Almost a year later. Update with the SC.

Hey everyone. I am back. here. It's almost the 1 year marker since I have been modding the SC. Slowly coming together. I wanted to do a 1jz swap and after searching for a while I purchased a Toyota Soarer. So very soon I shall be selling the SC after swapping parts over to soarer, and continuing build with soarer (yay for 1jz).













The Soarer!



How She sits now.

Very nice SC! Black is the only color that can take the gold emblems and striping without looking dated.
I've never driven a Soarer, so can't comment on your decision from that perspective. I, personally, like your SC better though --- for the 2cents it's worth.
