oh, man, why did you sell the 300? Sick of the turbo? Or was it not running right?

Yeah plans changed on the 300 for few reasons. It was going to be a fun/slow NA-T build on my spare time since it needed lots of TLC but a buddy of mine made an offer I couldn't refuse, also allowing me to keep and sell everything aftermarket since he has LSX plans for it. If at the least, I needed the garage space.

For now the 400 has just been a fixer and have replaced the control arms, antenna, new car keys, fixed stereo components, replaced all interior bulbs with LED's, trunk struts, passenger handle assembly, oil change and I think some small other things but its all been a blur between the two SC's.. It's about ready for mods, or not. I LOVE how it rides stock. My immediate plans are wheels, supra suspension, front lip, modest exhaust and a 350z 6 speed swap. Long term, I've decided on a Soarer front clip to fully swap over a 1JZ

Pretty much as stated above, got an offer I couldn't refuse and was going to get all 97+ parts anyway, figured a whole new car was just as easy..

Yeah I replaced that PN -xxx whatever it was and was instantly better, you're right that thing would just go bizerk out of nowhere?! I drove the gf to a drive in theater just out of town and was amazed, the couple in the car next to us complimented on the sound system, made the movie that much better lol..

As for mods, I'm being very picky. I'm totally set on a manual swap, wheels, lip, mufflers and supra suspension. I really want to focus on the little things like a steering wheel, seats, headlights, tint, 96 wing, in dash sat/nav etc etc... Not I've always gotten cheap things in the past just to get it done on previous cars but I feel the need to be very picky and patient on this one. They are on the way... Slowly, but absolutely..

awesome bro. believe it or not, I think i'm going to sell the CL and buy another SC. I love the CL but I miss the SC so much!! I'm going to look for a 98 or 99 and use the extra cash from the sale to mod it, assuming I can sell the CL for enough to make it worth it.

btw, I think the tint is under a lifetime warranty at a local shop. I can check it out if you want. I"m surprised it started to go bad.
