I'm the third owner of an original 95 5spd. It hasn't moved in over a year cause it's a piece of crap and I have no money. #tabakalife

95 factory 5 speed reporting in. Was originally from Ohio, ended up in Maryland and then Virginia.
Bought it from first owner in VA and now its in Colorado =)

There is no way this thread will get close to everyone reporting in but its worth a shot.
I still don't think that many have reported into the 1 of 120 '97 5speed club thread.

94 5spd here. Didnt know they were almost as rare as the 97. Mine is a one owner car(aunt) garaged since new. 130k. Given to me as a christmas present since I begged her to sell it to me for the last 15 years. Been slowly buying parts for a street/drift car. PBM's, Equips, undecided still on 1jz or na-t. I dont drive it much. GS400, IS300, in the stable as well. Ohio.

I'm at least the 5th owner (possibly more) of a 92 5spd. Currently at 160k miles, bought it at 137k. It's currently on jack stands in the driveway until the new steering rack goes in, which I'm picking up today and hopefully installing tomorrow. I was hoping to do it this afternoon, but a bunch of work called me on the phone so I'll barely have time to just pick up the steering rack today. Then it's going to the body shop to get a new front lip installed and for the side skirts, front bumper, and rear lip to get a re-spray. For the past three years I've owned it it's been garaged nearly all of that time except for ~6 months when I was on an internship.

My 1992 SC300 had 62k on it when I bought it in August 2012. It now has 83k on it, but for the past 5-6 months it mainly collects dust. I live 3 miles from work now, so I drive my beater 93 Toyota truck to work and back. I still drive the Lexus when I feel in the mood, and it still gets a workout on road trips to Atlanta, Columbus, Cleveland, St Louis, Ft Walton Beach, Asheville, Gatlinburng, etc.

1992 factory 5 speed SC300 bought it back in Sept 2014. I get asked often if its a manual from random people. Even had 2 tow truck drivers question me how did I find it and if I converted it. didn't know these were that rare.

Just got a factory manual 1995 a few months ago after last one got total loss by the insurance . Just my luck I got full coverage and got a fat check ( i would say i make 4k profit ) and shopping around for another I bump into this 2 owner maintenance freak that as midlife crisis decide to have kids and was force to sell it. Doing a na-t as of right now and body kit right of way after.
