Also in a few of those pics you can see why my Lexus stays so NICE. That $700 POS 1993 Toyota truck has 161k miles on it, runs like its brand new, doesn't have a straight body panel on it, yet there is no speck of rust on it.

Yet I cherish it almost as much as my Lexus. Mainly because I can rely on it, and if it gets a chip, dent, or blemish on it, who gives a rats ***.

Im In that camp, everyone is saying drop your car,roll fenders, blah blah. I see the roads i drive over and that would ruin my car! I'm getting wheels but ive yet to so my car is stock as a bone! Aron man, when i saw those wheels you have your car i immediately wanted them, i too will have a set of G spiders!

Everybody has different styles. After driving a bone stock sc several times that my friend bought recently, you realize just how slow and boring the sc is out of the box. It begs for a turbo and other mods.

Exactly! Suspension is like one of the best mods you can do, it's a world of difference. But shouldn't knock what others are into, just do you.

Different strokes for different folks, that's my motto. I don't like camber out wheels or slammed SC's either, but it all in what the owner feels in how he/she wants to represent themselves. The roads here arent the best ever, so I decided to feel the gap with just lowering springs. I also was bored with the V8, and wanted something more faster, so the swap was in effect. The black interior was a must due to not being able to find any grey parts for my it anymore. More and more people choose black because it is more appealing, easier to find parts, and it is easier to touch up and hide any defects, if they went the SEM route. I have had more compliments on the my interior than I ever had on the swap.

When I got my license back when fast and the furious came out I wanted to be like that. Ill be 28 in January had many cars the scariest was a 67 fully built mustang coupe. Now with two kids and tight budget all I want out of my 94 auto SC300 is upgrade handling, lite mods like intake exhaust for alittle power, 97 body swap. So when the kids are at grandparents I can hit the mountain roads and cruze.

i'm 20 and i'm just doing whatever the hell i think looks good to me. so far it's dropped, it's got wider, bigger wheels, fat exhaust that will soon have all the resonators and cats removed. loud and proud, not comfortable at all, but not looking trashy. still trying to fix all the little dents and scratches and make it look classy and a little trashy. it's like it's wearing a dress but underneath there's dirty lingerie

I've been there and done the whole 1JZ swap thing with my MK3 supra, thought I admit it was fun to stomp on the occasional Honda, Mustang or 350Z, this time around its about self expression through my car. Stock motor/drivetrain, with suspension mods for crisp handling and response. Subtle (JDM) accents like a Tom's shift ****, three piece JDM Tom's Pieza wheels in 18", power folding side mirrors, etc. A nice Nardi steering wheel and a balanced sound system thats crystal clear and doesn't rattle the trunk. I just want to have a clean SC with some tasteful quality upgrades as well as all the factory options that make the car so great to drive.......

I think the first stage of my build is gonna be a sleeper look, down to running the factory wheels and some 235 drag radials. I'm gonna push the factory auto as far as I can, hopefully hitting 12s. I just want to see how fast I can go for a little bit of money.

I'll be using used parts and so forth. After all it's a $300 car wth 140k on it.... I've always wanted to see what can be done with a little cash on these cars. Stay tuned for a build in the future

OhHiChris

Hmm from a year and a few months ago, I think I got it down so far. I also still daily my sc. I am getting new wheels with 4.5" and 5" lips now.

Twoforzero

Simple guy, simple goals, wallet woes! My Sc will be a gte, single, 5 speed...ACTUALLY MY GOAL IS TO OWN A SOARER ������ so I guess that would be sass?

White97SC4

For now I'll go with "Class" pretty much sticking with the stock platform until I know the direction I want to take it as far as performance mods/upgrades. I am definitely looking to add more hp in the future though!!!
