More pictures of the red one soon man. I'm not going too far with it. Blue one will stay stock with an OEM lip. The red one will get the Shine Auto rear and sides I will also mount my Wise lip on the stock nose. I have been sitting on all that stuff for a year, it's time to use it. I love stock as well so i had to keep one of them that way.

I wonder how many miles you are going to get out of that thing man???
I can't see it ever stopping. You won't let it ;-)
How about those smog #'s they're what really blow me away
I mean the engine is almost 25 yrs old !!!

Only reason I didn't react to the smog numbers is that i know nothing about them. I have never had to get a smog test on my cars in NYC because of the age.
That red 400 looks great man! Almost a twin.

I have no idea what those numbers mean since we don't have emission here in SW MO, yet.. But I can really relate to the engine being super smooth. Coming from the 2J, I know it's great and has tons of power potential but wow, it has nothing on the smooth luxurious feel of the 1UZ.. I just took a co worker out with me to lunch and he was very surprised. He's a mid 40's guy and said he remembered when these first came out, they are a timeless car and still hold their appearance against most newer cars still. Was an awesome conversation, I love my car.

Those #'s r good news for you. They mean you have 1 of the best built motors ever. The 1UZ (V-8) is a real Top End motor! look @ the final # on ur speedo: its do-able. I wound up putting Magna flows just so it wouldn't sound like a *****. U can't compare say a 15 yr old mustang to a 15/20 yr old SC they're not even on the same planet
You've really got the SC bug like most of us. Enjoy ur SC 400 - we do

the max# is where DMV fails you The Lexus# is the# my SC scored
My 23 yr old SC scored new car #"s
Take care Barbary
