Good griefs...I'm never up that way. I mean I have cousin's up in Orange, but I see them like once a year, lol, If I ever do happen to be in the area, I'll keep the thought in mind and hit you up! Thanks! I'd love to meet more SC owners in the tristate area!

I frequent Englishtown raceway for Clubloose events (I'm a photographer, not a drifter). So if you ever wanna meet up there for an event, lemme know!

Thank you sir! Ready for a big shocker? it has 242k+ Miles on it!

and I suppose I should post up a new pic while I'm at it. I raised it up for winter, it'll be dropped back down and I've got a few new things.

Default I'm new as well

Name's Tyler, I'm from Sacramento, CA. I owned an '89 Jeep Cherokee auto trans/4.0L. Lifted a few inches, on 31s, 2 MTX-15s, kicker 6x9s with the low mileage of 128k when I sold it for $2,920 and I just copped a 1993 sc300 from a fellow downtown, and I too had a dream to own a black SC, but hadn't chosen the v8 or 3.oh, then I came across a Craigslist ad for an sc300, and called the guy at 9pm. He was about 30 miles away, and he said he had 2 people coming from San Francisco coming to see it in the morning. I wasn't gonna let it pass me up, and I bought it around 10pm for $1800. Salvaged title from theft.
Got it slippery the first on-ramp. With my dad behind me in his neon SRT4 laughing.
Bottom line, 171k, tan interior, torn seats, 8000k HIDs, 20% tint up front, 4% in the rears, a bit of body damage and scratches, and a whole ***** load of fun.
I'll have pictures up soon.

Very Cool! If things go planned and it's official with no cop trouble or potential to get kicked out....I'm totally in to make the trip!

Happy to hear and welcome friend, but please make your own welcome thread with your own pics to share! I'm going to update this as I progress with the car!

Thank you! I love it too! Only thing I don't like is that it's axle-back. I will be heading to my friends shop next month and make it a full 2.5" cat-back. I'm trying to turn some heads more as I drive by!
