Default Hello all

Hello there,

My name is Justin. I just bought my first Lexus today. It's a 1992 SC300 with 150k miles, gray interior, and very clean body. I should also include that it's a factory 5 speed. I love this car so much already and I'm ready to build this car the way it was meant to be. Will look forward to receiving much information from this site and all you guys. Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to Club Lexus Justin!
Very clean car, I see it already has 97+ tail lights. You will get love for those without a doubt, and be told to complete the 97+ look lol But do as you please since it is YOUR car I recommend checking out the faq & diy thread to start out on your journey here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...tart-here.html
BTW that's a sexy dash, are the door panels black aswell? Anyways enjoy your stay, CL members are extremely helpful, but many things have been covered already, the search button will be your best friend!

Yep, looks like somebody was modding it.
Looks like somebody was in the middle of swapping to a black interior, carpet and dash are done, and looks like megan street coilovers. Nice pick-up bro and welcome to the forum. Who's GS is that in the background btw?

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys! The car is a original GA car (**no rust**) and the first owner was a police officer for 20 years. I'm the 3rd owner. I believe the 2nd owner had big plans to upgrade and modify the car but never got around to finish. I can't wait to restore this car to its former glory and provide it with some simple yet tasteful upgrades. I'm currently in the process of looking for upgraded brake parts, suspension, and few body pieces (front lip, side skirts, and rear bumper lip). The car will definitely see forced induction in the future.

Justin

Lol, these pictures were taken at the previous owner's house. HE is the die hard Toyota fan. This is actually my first import; I'm a die hard BMW guy. My daily is a bone stock 6spd e46 M3 and my garage queen is an e39 M5 with mild upgrades. I've always wanted to build a supra but the SC is much better in the cost department Again, thanks for the warm welcomes
