^^^^^^^Looking good!

Put on clear side markers and window visors





Then, went out yachting!


Blew my tire on a different run and it completely unseated. What you hear in the video are just cords.

i can get pic, but its just 3in pipe with the 2 bolt flange on both sides, and the o2 sensor i just did away with it, there are still 2 on the header they should be good enough, and im just playing around until i get all the parts for my gte swap.

tonight i did the bfi mod on the filter box, just went at it with the hole saw, then found a intake tube i had and cut it to fit to get rid of the 2 chambered oe pipe, worked great, went out for test drive and it is a difference you can feel, now pushing the gas pedal causes acceleration, the ge is alive ha ha

Well this didnt happen today but last night my SC300 took a poop on me I let my cousin drive and I got in it for work yesterday morning and notice it was knocking like the police and I was thinking okay what could this be? so I was driving it around a little bit to see if anything would pop up, got nothing so I was headed home and all of sudden it start running rough rpms dropped picked back up then I heard a sort of grinding sound and the car just shut off everything went dark so I put it in neutral and coasted to the side of the road and got it towed.
So the car won't start but I'm thinking I need a new engine? -_- but I don't know if I should go 1jz/2jz/ or NA-T or just do a rebuild anyways let me dig into this engine and see if I can find anything.

Thanks SOARER525 and Joe-E

I got the IS350 for $13500 one owner Lexus serviced from day one. I was on the market for a 04-06 LS430 but decided to look into the IS after Months of no luck on the LS.

I originally posted the SC for $2800 and then 30min later dropped it to $2200 no haggle final price. Ended up having 5 people all show up at PepBoys at the same time to view it. I just sold it for what I knew I needed to secure the IS350 so I could move on. I lost out on 3 LS' for taking too long to decide to buy. Didn't want it to happen again.

SC had 200k but for the most part no issues on my 80mile per day commute.

I gave my 1998 Lexus SC400 with 45k original miles on it a nice hand wash and wax today. Beautiful machine.

Started looking into oil feed/drain options. I would like to avoid drilling into the block but unsure of the whole is300 bolt thing either... Hmm...

Ordered my custom plates that I feel are very fitting for the SC and I "MOR PLZ".

How are you going to drain oil back into the motor without drilling into the oil pan . The IS300 union bolt solves the oil feed but the oil drain is where drilling is needed.
