Hi All,

Just picked up a 97' SC300. Short term goals are coils, wheels, LSD, and a manual swap ( if i can find a w58 or r154 that isn't a million bucks :roll: )

Long term goals would probably include a GTE and a 154.

Just over 93k miles. Absolutely love this car!

here's some pics:

Congrats on the purchase!!!

It looks like you got one in good shape and with low miles too! It sure looks clean.

very jealous of your find

Thanks guys i paid up the butt for it but its super clean inside and out. These things really hold their value. This was one of two for sale in my entire state! The other one had 196k lol.

An old guy bought this for his 50th ten years ago at 64k and has never seen winter or barely even rain! There are some chips here or there but nothing too concerning.

I'll have to make it down there sometime. My car is pretty boring right now, working on picking out some wheels

Nice updates! What is your initial impression of the tein flex z?

silentkill

ride quality can be as soft as stock or firm like a race car. I personally have it in a medium spot between firm and soft and it rides great. Still has some body roll but these are big cars so i kindof expected that.

Good purchase overall, can't beat the price point

That's good to hear. Are you planning on lowering your car more? Bazreias and being slammed kind of go hand in hand with each other.

I would love to but my driveway to my apartment is terrible lol so probably when i move ill drop it down more.

On to the manual swap! Just need a w58 bellhousing and order my clutch and flywheel.
