Default So I went from a 92 1JZ GTE to a 99 2JZ GE...AND Im not disappointed!!!

I recently (Last week Tuesday) sold my 92 Silver/Pearl 300 w/ somewhat decent spruce grey interior with a Auto 1jz swap on stock twins and the next day I picked up a bone stock 99 Red on tan 300 People who dont really know the SC asked me why I sold my car to get another SC and im thinking to myself lol!

If you really love the SC like me then you appreciate the changes and additions of a 97+ SC:::: Real fogs, Gated shifter, 3 spoke steering wheel, perforated seats, daytime running headlights, climate temperature, and not to mention the upgraded bumpers and side skirts...Now with all that said I am loving my new SC but I DO miss the boost and the sound of my HKS SSBOV , but hey my new SC drives 100X smoother and feels great, just how Luxery car should...Maybe thats partially because of the milage

Anyways enough of me ranting and now on to what everyone wants to see....PICS!!! All opinions, comments, concerns, and anything else is welcome..Let me know what you guys think of the change Also the new pics were taken with my BB Storm so sorry if the quality of the pics are not so good..the car looks 1000x better in person


:::::Here is my old SC::









::::::Now Here is my New SC::










:::And Finally,the interior::::

I missed the boost when I sold my SR'd S13 so I feel your pain.

BUT, that 99 makes up for it.

What do you plan w/ the engine? NA-T? Or another JZ turbo motor?

you basically looked at it how i did when i just not to long ago got rid of my 93 sc400. no swap but i had new paint kit dropped on 20's and a few other things but. i sold it to get a 99sc300 MSM on black. havent looked back. i liked my first one but im in love with this one.
great mileage you have there also. car looks great.
