Been busy with car meets and life. But here’s a few more pics of the car. Painted the coil cover blue to match the car. Fixed problem with a/c so it doesn’t die when coming to a stop with a/c on. Love this car.

thanks! Yeah, they are off being refinished right now. Should have em back on in a week or so. They definitely transform the car. I had this talk with a friend of mine last night. The right wheels can really make a huge difference on a car like this. I love the rays but the all black just takes away from the overall look I think. Can’t wait to get the gts back on there and see how it looks with the new color scheme 😉

Such a nasty whip!...speed, comfort, looks...what more can a person ask for. Nice job on the coil-pack cover Jim...the blue looks much better!

Jim! What's the latest with your beautiful blue car? Did you get your new five-spokes thrown on yet?

Craig, I have been SO busy lately. Buying a house has taken up most of my time. I sold the volks to a friend to put on his supercharged sc400. I’ll update soon 😉

You bought a house? Congratulations, man!! Undoubtedly you've had a lot to do between the legal and moving

Aww bummer, those GTS in grey would've looked bad ***. Congratulations on the house front, we moved in about 7 months ago and still haven't unpacked everything

Man, I really miss having this car. Figured I would give everyone an update. I am building 2 SC's right now. A 6 speed cd009 1uz single turbo and an auto 2jzge na-t. I will post pictures soon either here or I'll start a new thread. I just can't get away from these cars.

Welcome back, Jim!! I didn't know you sold your blue SC. That was/is an amazing car with so much love and time put in. I know it can't have been easy to have sold it. You're right-- it's hard to shake wanting an SC in your life once you've been bitten

I look forward to seeing those two totally different SC projects! A manual turbocharged SC400 and a built NA-T auto! Wow!! : D
