Default New SC300 Owner

Its a 1997 SC300 Auto. Just bought it last thursday from a guy in Jacksonville, FL. Very clean car. I'm enjoying it so far besides mystery problems im having right now. I made a thread in the Performance & Maintenance thread if anyone could be of any assistance. Not many pics and the guy didn't really give me an extensive mod list so I've listed one based on what I've seen and what he told me. Thanks for looking!

Interior is pretty mint besides the floor mats.
Front Bumper is aftermarket (Not sure of style name) Cracked and Scraped
Carbon Fiber Hood (Needs Washer Nozzles Installed)
Blitz Nur Spec R Exhaust.
K&N Air Filter.
Not sure of the spring and shock setup it has on it.
20" MSR Staggered Wheels.
245/30/20 Nexen Tires
Pioneer In-Dash DVD Player.
Boston Acoustics Components
Diamond Audio 12" Sub.
JL Amps (150 2 Channel on sub, 6 Channel for the Mids and Highs)

Nice car, it's always a plus to start with black interior.

Thanks alot man.

Looks like i'll be needing a new front bumper also. The tow company that took my car to the shop snapped the crack in my bumper. I have pics and video to prove everything.

I found out the other day that these are in fact adjustable shocks but adjusting the firm or softness is my quesiton. Looks like their on the top of them when I pop the hood and remove the rubber thing where the strut is.

Another thing, found out this exhaust Blitz Nur Spec R is an axle-back. I want to make this thing a catback.

Shocks look like they're KYB AGX and springs look like Teins? Congrats on the car, looks clean. Good luck on the problems
