Default 10.09.08 Humble Beginnings. How it all started.

Picked up a 1992 SC300 5 speed with 119.3K miles in October of 2008. It was on E when I purchased it from the previous owner and the first thing I did was fill her up at the cost of nearly $70. At the time, this was right before the recession hit and gas was at an all-time high. Within the first couple days or so, I drove it to my girlfriends house. It was getting dark and I believe we went out to eat and as we were about to leave I find out that the lowbeams were out! We were freaking out, but we wound up driving with the highbeams. I guess I was excited about the car. I am pretty sure the previous owner told me the low beams were out.

So along with with lowbeam lights, it had the usual leaking valve cover gaskets, leaking distributor o-ring, leaking power steering hose, water in the headlights, torn leather seats, and peeling chrome 15" wheels. But, it was a RWD 2JZGE 5 speed the paint was in good condition and she cleaned up nicely.

Jadu, hey...got to start somewhere. I feel you on the priorities, all about making the family happy first. If they're happy, then we're happy. As far as a lip or body kit...if it's within your budget I'd go for the BIG WIN kit. IMO I think it's one of the cleanest kits for a subtle and clean look. Either way, good luck with your venture!

I'm sure your sc will turn out sleek, I'm already diggin the current look. Nice choice in wheels btw better have a slow genuine build than a fast cheap one so take your time

Looks great sir. I know about home ownership and the priority that it takes. I just have a tough time keeping up with the maintenance sometimes and don't have time for mods anymore.
