Default Goodbye SC Forums/CL for now.......

Long story short cylinder #6 in my GTE lost compression while doing a street tune. Culprit may be faulty injector not sure yet. Anyway I will b parting out my SC and will take a break and go another route in the near future.On top of that with my crazy travel schedule for work where I'm only in MD on weekends I barely had time to enjoy the car. I will keep trans and build motor but not sure what body it will go in yet maybe another sc or supra or z32. I will be doing a part out sale in the SC classifieds later on today. I also plan on possibly replacing my TL with a LS400 or GS400 so I will probably be back in a Lexus.

I've had a great time on CL the last 8.5 years I've met a lot of good people and made some long lasting friendships. I will still be on the forums for the most part until I sell off the parts from the SC.

As one of the OG members here, your car was inspiration for me . Sorry to see you go, but I'm glad you are saving the drivetrain for another day

that is very unfortunate, good luck on the buildup and your future project and hopefully we will still see you around here, your SC will be missed for sure.

Sucks to hear man, really looked up to your build.

Maybe i'll just buy everything that you sell so the your car will be reborn in another chassis. Like the dalai lama...

Dude, wth! Way too much time invested into this car. You will be really missed around here. I will be on the look out for your part out thread as I'm sure you have several items that I will need. Not to mention I still need that trunk

I'm going to PM you about the body kit.

Good luck on your next build! I know how it feels to want a break for awhile sometimes change is good.

Right as i read this, i immediately thought, "some lucky son of a gun is gonna get a really nice body kit." It's a shame you're leaving dude, you inspired many.
