Default VinnyMac's SC300 - Journey into the world of Lexus

Hey everyone! The names Vinny and I've always had a love and a dream to own an sc300. It was on the top of my list of 'Realistic Dream cars'. I used to own a 1995 Nissan 240sx (S14)



I had a whole list of goodies for that car done, but I was practically done building it for my needs. So I decided I wanted a new project car, I traded it for a '01 Audi A6 2.7T. The S4 motor was a beast, the car handled exceptionally well and being in the luxury world was so different, but so comforting. Not having to worry about bumps and clench my *** cheeks, lmao, but came to realize maintenance and modding it was too much for me. So I kept it for a month and then sold it.

I found a 1995 Lexus SC300 Black on Black interior AND OEM 5 speed. It was a complete win. It needs a bit of TLC, but it's a pure rare gem. So here it is guys, I introduce my SC











I hope you all enjoyed It isn't done with mods yet. This is just a starting point and I hope to meet many more in the CL community!

You found a nice SC. Especially black on black and a 5- speed.

Welcome to the forums bro. Great looking car! Looks like the last owner took care of it judging from the exterior. Hope your build goes well!

Wow, all these responses Thank you everyone! D

I reside in Burlington county, NJ and plans for the car are just like my 240. Well built all around. First thing first - suspension. I'm already rolling on BC Racing coilovers. Need to upgrade my brakes (some slotted rotors, hawk pads, upgrade to LS front brakes), then upgrade all the control arms and so forth. I get complimented from everyone on the exhaust. the 5ziggy's are def an eye catcher....well...rear end is really...lol

Hopefully I can make some more progress within the next season and make it even great!
Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome and JDMmuscle for making me post up! lol
