Default My first build thread. Gigity.

Alright this is my first build thread ever posted anywhere!!!! Let me start by reintroducing my ride.I have a 1992 Lexus sc300. I bought it for about 1100 and with that said it wasnt originally pretty. Over the next three weeks im going to be doing a little work on it with a couple of my friends. Quick recap of all mods being done.
-W58 manual swap
-Battle Version aluminum Steering rack bushings
-Ngk Spark plug wires
-Hid Retro fit
-Interior color conversion to black- Color by dye.
-Tanabe exhaust
Still on the wall with these
-Wheels ( prob just oem for now )
-97 front
-coilovers
If budget permits i will try to accomplish some of those other things.


As of today i just ordered my bushings, and some other things from driftmotion, hopefully it doesnt take too long to get here.Also gonna be purchasing my exhuast today.

Why are you going w58? If you plan on making any power in the future you might aswell go r154 or v160..

Good luck on the build thread. One thing that's important in a "Build Thread" are pictures. Before pics would be great right now. Get a photobucket acct. and snap away my brotha!!
