Default My 2nd love

So I recently acquired another SC after getting into accident with my first one. Sadly more money was going to spent in repair work then picking up a used one. So I found a 1 owner 1997 SC300. 143K and 100% bone stock.

That is a rare find. To find a one owner with relatively low miles for the year and bone stock in great shape! Congrats. I love that color!

Please take and share more pictures ...... (and it is a good thing I did not see this one before you as I may have out bid you for it.... LOL)....

It'll remain stock for now. It certainly is a different experience driving pure stock. Once I get the parts of the old one i'm gonna slap them on this one.

Thanks! I'll try to take more pics once I get some things done to it. Interior is in pretty good shape, usual leather cracks and what not. Might swap out the tan for black though. And i was surprised that it was in craigslist for lomger than a week. I was afraid when i contacted the guy he was gonna tell me it was sold. Lol

Small update. Haven't done a whole lot yet except for tint on the windows and fog lights. And decals lol. The tint really changed the appearance of the car.

Finally a real mod! Got the oem mufflers replaced with my old hks carbon ti's. Deleted all 3 resonators and the piping is a bit straighter now. Figured it was the perfect time after one of my oem mufflers came off its weld.

Been a minute but I've made some changes. BC racing coils, BBS LM, TMS sway bars and mounts.

Did your titan subframe mounts go on without any modification? When I tried to install mine, 1 of the bolts wouldn't line up.
