Default My new toy

Since I just purchased my new toy today on ebay, 1992 SC400 with 128k miles, I will now frequent both GS and SC forums.

Let the modding process begin. Any suggestions with my first mod?

You got to do the front license plate deletion conversion, its JDM

Now, go get modding on that car. The more mods you do, the more you will love her.

Thanks for the nice welcome and compliments on the car. Btw, does anyone know what is this color called? When I bought my GS last year, my first mods were suspensions and wheels, in those orders as well!

This was my first buying a car on Ebay and has been an okay experience so far. Liked everyone, I had my doubts buying a car on-line. The seller, a private party, and I exchanged countless e-mail and phone calls, lots of questions, before I made the such a commitment. He did informed me certain items such as the antenna, cd changer, instruments lights needs replacing. Overalll, I felt comfortable buying the car.

The completed transaction, fully covered by ebay cost $4,800. What do you think?

WTB: shocks, springs and bars!
