Default SC-n00b

I've had this high mileage beast for about a month. I had been holding out for a sc300 w/ the W58, and I finally got it.

It's a green/tan '92 with 200k+ miles, but it's super clean. Worst case scenario, if things start to fall apart, I can set it up for track use. But for now I'm just enjoying it.

On another note, are there any Megasquirt users out there? I have a 2JZ-GE in my celica, and it would be nice to see what others are using for ign. trigger

Some pics:








Oops, not ready for that yet

Welcome to Club Lexus. What kind of manifold are you using to support that turbo? What size snail is that?

Car looks just like mine when I first got it. Looks nice, ...200K miles is nothing. How much did you have to give for it? Whats up w/ the turbo?

I paid $4800 for it; everything works (except for a few blown bulbs), and the interior looks as good as teh exterior.

As for the turbo, it's been torn down to build my T61 for the CelicaSupra. I'll be ditching the 1.15A/R turbine housing for something closer to .83...........waaaay later.

celicaxx: welcome to CL -- it's great to have another die hard toyota fan on board!

That green is really growing on me -- it screams british racing, and I've been watching too many top gears

Not to mention, that particular shade looks awesome with gunmetal or polished rims...


...whatever route you take, I'm sure it'll look great
