Default new SC owner from North Carolina

hey whats up guys it all started while lookin on ebay motors during class and finding a manual sc300 and over a few days of watchin and looking and dreaming i decided i need to convince my dad to postpone his hopes of gettin an ls next year for this SC till well next year so i could buy it off him and he can get his LS well it worked and i got this 94 sc300 with 104,500 miles on it for 6000$ flew out to boston and picked it up and drove it back 1000 miles home to NC ( a few stops on the way at various universities to hang out with some friends)

ive fallen in love with it on the drive back mostly because im used to my 240sx which is gutted, loud, no power steering, no a/c, bucket seat, etc....

here are some pics





( NO SPOILER!)
as soon as i got it home i went ahead and took it to my friends house (lexus technician) and we changed the oil with some 5w30 castrol and the diff fluid.


next to my neighbors 350z which makes the SC look so high on top of that the 350z is stock with wheels and is currently gettin its fenders rolled and coilovers installed....

i will be lowering it as soon as i can, probabbly with supra struts and lowering springs since im low on $$

and the wheels will be taken off asap, i ordered some tsx montage's cause i was able to get them for 135$ brand new a wheel for 18x9.5 + 20 offset and i have 4 michlien pilots in 245/40/zr18s sittin at the house

not as sexy as some of the other wheel packages but should do for the time being (anythings better than those american racings on it)

pdw is the color white that your car is... and FTMFW means "for the mother ***********g win" he was saying its the best color, but we all know black onyx is.

side note: i may be moving to highpoint within the next few months.. if i do, we will have to get a little meet together.
