Follow the format below:

Body: stock

Year/Model: 95 SC400
Performance: ECU Upgrade, Apexi N1 mufflers
Suspension: nothing
Wheels: 18" Altstadt Type IV
Body: stock
Audio: nada
upcoming mods: 4 more performance (maybe 5) and 1 suspension mod by april/may stay tuned to the board
... one year until any body mods though 
jeez... 1 thing i hate is to add up my receipts... Spent so far (with tires for wheels)... ~5100$. By april/may ~3200$ (4350$ with 5 perf mods) on top of what i've already spent
with all the performance mods i'm only hoping for high 13's, low 14's @ 5800 feet elevation... more performance planned for 2003-2004, but don't want to jinx myself.

1993 Lexus SC400 - Green
Wheels: L-Tuned OZ Salina 18x9.5r 18x8.5f
Body: No mods except a car bra
Engine: Intake made by Leo of Weapon-R
Computer: ECU upgrade by intercrew, dyno tuned by LEo of WR also
Exhaust: 2 1/2 in from the cat, better cat coupling, WR ricer bombs with no real muffling capability (but they look good)
and Magnaflows before that to quiet it down.
Horsepower: 236 at the wheels.
More to come.
Total outlay: $4400 if you include rims n tires
Powerful V8 sound and power: Priceless.
There are some things money can't buy, like having an import car tuner for a friend. For everything else, there's my checkbook.
