You will definitely love it. I just got an 05 and it's awesome. Unfortunately the cooler in the rear is pretty small.

Not really. I've wanted an SC for years so maybe it was the build up that keeps me so stoked. Although I only got it a month ago. I don't bore easy, I had an Acura Legend coupe for 8 years before this, it was definitely faster but I think the thing I'm excited about the most is that this car actually has a huge potential for power unlike the latter. I can't wait to push 5-600 hp on my daily car.

i guess i miss the luxury of the GS & it just seems more modern, the SC is becoming a little out dated.

I wish I would have bought a na supra instead it would hold its value a lot more then any sc's would as far as resale value. I don't ever get bored of my 5 speed sc because I throw a lot of money into it sometimes it feels like I'm paying not to get bored idk I'm thinking of selling and buying a supra. If I threw all the parts I have on my sc in a supra i would have a nice supra lol. Just know that no Honda or any other car will satisfy you the way the sc does just throws u back in your seat.

I get bored of it. I hardly drive it, plus i think this is my third or 4th 400. What I do now is pick one thing to do. Like interior, then I do that to completion. Right now its wheels, brakes n suspension. That will be done in a few weeks. When I get bored ill swap my r154 in, then when I get bored of that ill install my single turbo. That should get me through another year.

Then ill sell it n start over...again! Lol

is it your hobby to mod/sell? is there a car out there that would satisfy its owners without extensive mods?!!

For me, modifying cars isn't about being unsatisfied with the vehicle. I was satisfied with my SC400 already, to be honest, and pretty much every other car I've owned. Modding is just in my blood, it's about making an already good car, great. It's about being creative, and trying new things.

I've never been one to buy a car that doesn't satisfy me, and mod it until it does. I buy a platform that I already like.

Im in the same boat, im planning on doing some mods to the car and fixing a few issues, then selling it to get a MKIV Supra. Even a N/A Supra will make me happy, id have it NA-T in no time. The SC was a car i wanted, I got it. The Supra is my dream car, im still after it.

Yes! Got bored of my dull and slow SC400, so I traded with some dude for my current TTZ. I'm sure boredom will be fixed with a turbo swap though.
