Default FS: 93 SC300 Turbo, TH400 10sec car.

Guys,

As usual, I spend months building a car just the way I want it, and then it sits in the garage because I am too scared to drive it. This car has taken 9 months and ridiculous amounts of money to get it in the shape it is in.

It is a 93 SC300 with approx 110k on the chassis, 40k on the shortblock, and about 5k on the TH400.

Timing belt/water pump/seals all have less than 15 miles on them. New transmission fluid, new brake fluid, new oil. New 97+ kit, wheels etc all have < 15 miles on them.

I also replaced the engine wiring harness because it had been hacked up. Every electrical connection on here has been soldered, shrink wrapped and then taped.

I only have these 2 pictures right now, but can take some this weekend of the engine bay/interior etc.

Due to the loose TC, I don't have accurate dyno numbers on race gas. On 91 w/ meth it did 454rwhp (bear in mind that is through a TH400.)

Everyone who knows me knows I do things right, and I don't cut corners.

Here is a list of the mods, although I am sure I am forgetting a lot of them

3mm head gasket
BL Stage 2 turbo kit 67mm turbo.
HKS Boost Controller
AEM EMS (GM IAT, AEM 3.5 Bar MAP sensor) just refreshed by AEM
HKS DLI
AEM Uego Wideband (<15 miles on it.)
HKS BOV
HKS Gate
BLTH400 transmission, Transbrake, custom spec converter
Custom Driveshaft
Supra TT Auto Limited Slip Differential
Dakota Digital (<15 miles on it.)
Twin Walbros
880cc injectors (just flow tested and cleaned)
Steel braided fuel lines, anodized fittings
Aeromotive FPR with Gauge
BL FMIC kit
Tutone black/tan interior
1997+ full body upgrade (<15 miles on it.)
5% tint
HID’s – Headlights and Foglights
19x8.5/19x9.5 wheels with 10mm Project Kics Spacers (<15 miles on it.)
Snow Performance Dual Nozzle Methanol Injection
Tein Coilovers
Defi Boost and EGT Gauges in Custom Gauge Pod (<15 miles on it.)
Crower 264/272 Cams (<15 miles on it.)
Crower Titanium Springs/Retainers (<15 miles on it.)
LS400 calipers/rotors
Greddy Tubo Timer(<15 miles on it.)
Custom Clear Sidemarkers (<15 miles on it.)

I flew Justin Nenni up here to tune the car (about 3 weeks ago) and the car has not been driven since.





$19k.

I have sold several cars on here so I am sure I have plenty of vouches. I am not looking for trades, unless it is a G35 COUPE or an LS430, or possibly an older GX470 . I am not wanting to add cash to anything...

"As usual, I spend months building a car just the way I want it, and then it sits in the garage because I am too scared to drive it."

I find this sentence a bit funny. Please clarify. Do you mean because of its sheer speed? Or do you mean getting in a wreck or blowing the engine and throwing away 9 months of blood, sweat, time and money? My friend is just like you.... I think he just enjoys the build process. Then when it's done, he doesn't want it anymore. It's strange.

Anyhoo.... GL with the sale!

Thanks man. It is a custom made pod using the Supra Greddy 3 pod.

LOL - a little bit of both. When you can slide sideways at 75mph by giving it gas - that is pretty insane. Apart from that, if I drive it anywhere I can't relax. Door dings, yada yada. Then I park at the far end of the parking lot away from all the cars, and come back to find a Civic or Integra parked next to me Same exact thing happened with my supercharged GS - just couldn't relax and enjoy it...

LOL - that is still an option right now. I have a lot of money into the car, and if I can't get what I want out of it then I will just learn to enjoy it. I just don't want another garage queen like my GS.

HAHA - you are right. I should have fun with it but have trouble just enjoying things without worrying... I have a $3000 decked out AR-15, shot it 3 times maybe! Just sits there and looks pretty!!

Working on getting those for you.

I believe it was once owned by him, yes.

When he owned it there were electrical problems due to a bad wiring job. I replaced the entire engine harness, and re-wired everything back in. It no longer has any problems aside from the 3 I listed in my first post.

Will post the pictures when I get them.
