Default Finally, I got her.

Hey everyone, ive been an SC enthusiast for many years. In the past year ive become very serious in buying one. It has been a huge adventure searching everyday, on 4 different websites(autotrader, recycler, craigslist, and ebay). There have been 5 cars that i was so close in buying, but were sold right before i called to offer.

Then Finally a couple sundays ago, I finally picked up a 98 sc400 with 26,000 miles. It's a huge relief that i finally got her.

Here are some pictures.








I look forward in going to car meets and meeting you guys and gals face to face.

id like to lightly mod it, exhaust, intake, safc2 and some suspension, brake upgrades. i'm still trying to figure out if the blitz nurspec will bolt on directly onto this car. And i'd like to get the SRT intake but i plan on using Apex's safc2.

as for suspension, im still deciding on which coilovers, and im goin to try to fit the carbing strut bar, and cooling plate on.
