Default Yay! Finally a SC430 owner!
Just purchased my 2006 SC430 with 32k miles. Came from an 2001 Honda S2000 Supercharged. Even though the sc430 wasnt as quick or handle like my supercharged s2000, i still enjoy the luxury-ness! Only thing i hate about the sc430 is the throttle response.... the s2000 throttle response was superb compared to the sc... and the s2k handles on a dime... but i guess you gotta give up some to receive some... looking forward to the new community!

Congrats and welcome.

I will give you 3 months before you go through this forum, see what others have done to their SC's then you will catch the bug and start with minor mods!

Always thought those hondas were cool...but so rare.

Seeing that car next to yours with the door bashed in reminds me...these car doors swing WIDE!
Be careful.

Welcome.

Yes, beware, the door swings out wide. Be extra careful.

When I heard that door bang on the brick wall, the sound and feeling are not good.

You have been warned. Hope that it never happens to you.

Get the mod fever.

Welcome! Now for your first act with the car, go to http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home and join. It free and where you can get your car's Lexus Dealership history along with access to manuals and other resources if they were not in the car when you purchased it.

Apexi throttle controller is cheaper. Check out the vendor section.
