Hey Craig! How have you been? Been awhile. Any new progress on your car? I've been thinking about giving you a call to see how you been. I have lots more in store for the car so stay tuned. Really good to hear from you.

Oh yeah, Ryan, not to take away from Scotts thread as we are all very interested in a supercharged sc400, I have seen it would be more difficult than I could handle, plus the expense, the beauty of the online carclub is benefitting from the other guys expearience.

Scott...I love my GS430 and the 2GS forum, but threads like this are making me spend more and more time in the SC forum.

BTW, you're dead on about Ryan's car, but don't shortchange yourself...your SC is a helluva lot more than "nice".

Looking forward to your continued progress!

You are dead on right about Scott's car...It is a masterpiece!!! Scott, take a well deserved bow...

I do believe you are the first in the US to do this!! Not only that, but your quality and workmanship are awesome.

Thanks for the kudos on my car, but yours is done. Enjoy it.

I am holding you Accountable for this! I had misssed this post until you did this. This is your fault! Ha ha ha!

I'm picking up a 6-speed tranny,Shifter, 6-speed LSD diff, driveshaft, Axles, Hubs, A-arms, well actually its a complete (41,000 mile) 97 TT transmission from clutch all the way back to the rear brakes. It includes full compltete subframe assembly, plus front spindles and TT brakes, Brake booster, clutch cylinder, and evrything in between.

Pretty much a Complete TT 6-speed drive-trane less the engine.

Watch soon for some extra stuff comming up for sale.

Your fault! YOUR FAULT!

Will do.

I am probally using the Adaptor Ring and quartermaster clutch that Eric is providing. I could probally make my own ring since I have a Lathe and mill in my Garage plus AutoCad to lay it all out but why re-invent the wheel?

Clutch/flywheel/adaptor ring will have to wait for me to liquidate a few items, this stuff really wiped me out.

Default Here is great opportunity!

Hey guys! Here is the deal, There is a fellow CL member trying to sell a Kit just like mine on ebay. He has the Aussie kit the supercharger, fuel system, Piggy back ect... It is the most complete kit you’re going to get.

Complying with CL rules I will not link you to it.

Search Key words

LEXUS SC400 COMPLETE SUPERCHARGER KIT

You will find it. to get hooked up at a discount.

I hate to see this leave our CL community!


I wish I could have found this when I was doing mine. This is probally the only kit you will ever see on eBay so GL

I would buy this if I had another SC400, someone is going to get a deal.

Mods,
I am not selling anything here, just trying to help out fellow members that are thinking about doing this mod. I hope I didnt break any rules if I did PM me and I will edit.

Scott--you know that I'm very interested in this. However, the search on ebay provided no link. Any suggestions on how to get in touch with this guy?
