Default F/S: Clean SC 250 <must see!>

UPDATE!! Amateur Video Shot @ Formula D Long Beach on 4.10.2010. Video Highlights imperfections as well as rolling shots to showcase the car is healthy and running and sounding great!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATsEHco0S8g

The car was taken off market 2 months ago and has been at PlatinumVIP for maintenance and decided to clean out the turbo (changed the bearing) and swapped in a newer motor with less mileage. Please see the end of the post for vouch from other members who has seen the car in person.

Price has also been lowered for quick sale! I have no place to store this car since I already got a new car!

After many months of consideration, I am putting my car up for sale...
I am proud to say it is one of the cleanest SC in this forum, ALL modifiations were done at PlatinumVIP. This car is all show and all go, however, never see past 9lb of boost(no boost controller) so you know the engine is healthy. All you need is to install a boost controller and go for another tune, you will be making 450+ rwhp. New paint job 2 years ago and single turbo conversion with all new gaskets in 12/2007.

Car is mostly driven from home to work (20 miles) and from home to PlatinumVIP on weekends

Chassis: 1992
Chassis Mileage: 150,xxx+
Engine Mileage: 23,xxx+
Clean Title: CarFax Available Upon Request


Engine Modification:
1JZ-GTE
ARP HeadStuds
Unorthodox Pulley Sets: Crank, Power Steering, Water Pump, Altenator
Garrett T4 .61 a/r w/turbo blanket

Koyo All Aluminum Radiator w/ 2 electric fans
Walboro 255lph In-Take Fuel Pump
Stinger EMS: Full Stand Alone Engine Management w/Software and Tuned Maps with Laptop Connector
(Engine will be flushed with new synthetic oil and all fluids top off)

Transmission Modifications:
Auto --> 5 Speed Conversion
R154 out of a MK3
TRD Stage 2 Clutch w/ Pressure Plate
All new hardwares from Toyota Dealership: Flywheel bolts, Clutch fork, Throw-out bearings, etc...
MK4 Auto LSD
C's Short Shifter

Exterior Modifications:

97+ Front Conversion w/ Big-Win Lip

Vertex-style rear lip kit w/modification to single exhaust opening
Sun visor
(One of the side kit got a small crack, and front lip kit has the usual rock chips)

Suspension Modifications:

TRD Strut Tower Bar

(Since all bushings and links has been changed, the ride quality is tight)

Wheels and Brakes Modifications:
J-Line 10RL2
Front: 19x8 +19 wrapped in Toyo T1R (5 months new)
Rear: 19x10 +15 wrapped in Toyo T1R (2 months new)
(Have 2 Extra Rear Wheels for Spare, Total 6 Wheels)

Interior Modification:

Front Seats Were Rewrapped 3 years ago
All Wood-Grain Interior Pieces are Painted Black.
Pioneer Navigation AVIC-D2 w/IPOD connection
10" Eclipse w/Kenwood Amp (replaces the stock subwoofer)
Optima Red Top Battery

The car is reliable and fun to drive. Oil change every 3k ~ 5k of driving and always synthetic: Eneos, Torco, Royal Purple, Redline or Mobile 1. Always drink 91 Octane. It is tune for mid-high range powers, so on the freeway it is very fun. However, the car has not see more than 9lbs of boost since the Garrett T4 replaced the stock twins, I did not have the chance to install a boost controller. The car has pretty much every mods available for a SC and all it needs is a boost controller to turn up boost and a re-tune to unleash the true potential of this turbo. I hate to let this car go, but I only have 1 garage and I currently have 3 cars. However, I am not in a hurry to sell this car.

I am asking $13,000 o.b.o. and will entertain offers, no low ballers please...
Updated price: $11,500 for quick sale!


Cons: AC Works, but needs a recharge, 2 Interior pieces has leather rips: Passenger Window Frame and Center Arm Rest. Front lip has rock chips, one of the side kit has a crack. Speedometer do no work...will have to use Pioneer AVIC D2's Vehicle Dynamic Option for Speed. RPM Do Work!

If you have any questions, you can either call me (949)456-0389 or email me at jppan9817@yahoo.com or msg me CL. Car is located in Orange County. No Random Test Drives, Only Serious Inquiry w/ a reasonable down payment....

If anyone has addition pictures of my car or engine bay, please post for me. I will post interior pictures after I take them this week and engine bay as well
