Thank you guys for all the kind words and inspiration to continue to push forward when I had trouble getting this thing tuned and figuring out the wiring details. I gentlemen by the name Mike bought the car from me this afternoon. He is a supra nice guy and he will have it for awhile, at least he said. He already has plans for it, not sure exactly, but his thought process was like mine when I first purchased it. He did tell me that he has a Supra being built as we speak. I didn't speak much of it, due to me not making it any harder than it was already was. I hated to see it gone, but things will continue in my life and who knows, one day I might be back.

For those who wanted to know was it worth it, hell yeah. Would I do it again, maybe in time. I got top dollar for the car, and he paid me in cash.

I did a few pulls for him with the A/C on, and he says that's enough.... LOL.. he drove it back and I think he was overall pleased with the whole setup from top to bottom. I tried to explain everything in detail, but I am sure I left out a few things here and there. He says he will put some wider tires on the back, maybe 295, and ditch the TT for some Volks he has lying around. he said he would send me a picture of it, I told don't bother. I don't want to see it, with a grin. In time, you all will prolly see it on here, but for now, I am signing off for good. It has been a pleasure speaking with you all by sharing thoughts, concerns, and the real world world of the true Lexus community website.

If anyone wants to stay in contact, feel free to email me at anytime. marklinley36@gmail.com.

Enjoy the last photos. me driving it home from work this morning...




And the new owner.....

Sad to see you go but if it feels like the right thing, then it is. The owner will be happy I am sure! It's not an easy thing to let go of a special car. I've done that before and I know how you must have felt. And as said before, forty is not anywhere near "old". Future is bright and wide open. Good luck in all your endeavors, 1JZPWRD!

I've had quite a few guy's come up to me and say they wish they still had theirs
or wish they had One
You Know its one of the best built cars ever
I'm older than you & still get a kick out of driving it
Your # of posts indicate how much you love yours
I think they at least put you in the Legendary category
but we all have our own circumstances
Good Luck from a Newbey

Here is what I purchased when I sold the SC. A 2011 Toyota Tundra, Platinum Edition, 4x4 flex fuel CrewMax cab. I love it. A truck I should have for many years to come.
