to 2jz-ge people. i can use advice.
Well Ive got the sc300 5spd. 1997. Extremely low miles and great condition.
Any advice on what brands to look at would be great. Also whats a good way to get the most out of my car on a reasonable budget? Thanks, Carlos.

What is a reasonable budget to you?
Suspension and brakes first. Upgrade those wheels and tires.
Then focus on your motor. And the best "bang for the buck" is to simply piece together a turbo kit and the reliability and supporting mods for it. And that can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be.

I agree with AztecSN95. Don't waste any money on performance mods unless it involves a turbokit... you'll just be someone who wasted money on their slow car while a 16 year old girl with her mom's V6 Camry blew their doors off.
Performance mods short of a turbokit aren't going to do anything on this car short of making it louder and putting you into a certain stereotype of car owners. There's always the "staged" approach as well. Getting a 3" exhaust you intend to use with the turbokit, etc. But headers, big expensive intake, AFC, etc is a waste
If you want mods, do wheels, suspension, and brakes first. Your wheels look nice, are they 17s?
Very clean car btw.

Kean and the rest of the guys at Boost Logic are awesome guys! I lived in Austin for quite some time and would let them and Chris Johnson work on anything I'll ever own.
They have top notch customer service, there parts are quality, and they have a huge customer base of insanely high powered quality cars to back up their name. I would recommend them highly. HOWEVER, even with all of the great things I've said, about them, there is nothing that beats working on your own car. Having dished out insane amounts of money in labor as well as having assembled and installed several other very large mods, I feel it is safe to say that if you want to know your car intimately and have a vast working knowledge/appreciation for what you've got, piece something together and install it yourself. Invest in the Service Manual, quality parts, and enjoy a solid weekend of working on your car.
That may not be feasible to you due to work constraints or family life, but it will be the most rewarding thing you could possibly do. Stockpile the basic parts you know for a fact you'll need, IE exhaust, gauges, fuel components, ecu, etc etc etc while you find a kit or the parts that work best for your goals. Just because Boost Logic has a great kit, doesn't mean you can't assemble one of better quality on your own. Look at Full-Race components as well. If they end up being too pricey, there are cheaply priced quality parts out there as well. XS-Power, Boostwerx, etc. Regardless of what people say, they DO make solid stuff.
At the end of the day, you've just gotta put everything on paper and decide if you've got the time and the budget to do things the way YOU want to do them.
