hi, everyone. i am looking for a sc for daily(save gas)

i did some search i found out those two type sc will get over 20mpg and very fast too.

1.95 sc300 then put 1jz LS brake new paint rims bluetooth double din+bodykits

2.98+ sc400 then rims bluetooth + bumper lips

both car will cost around 10k so my question is which one is better and why? also the insurance will be? how much for 1jz swap in LA CA? anyone knows good place to do it?

Ahaha, I was like what the hell is a 1.95 SC300 and wtf is a 2.98+ SC400. I felt dumb...

Anyways, go for the 98SC4

98+ SC400 all the way. 290hp stock at the flywheel... no worries about illegal smog, 5spd auto, no turbo to suck up all your gas. Hopefully no CEL light! For a daily driver the sc4 is the way to go but for more spirited driving??? 1jz takes the cake!

I own both an '99 SC400 (UZZ30) and a 1JZ Supra (JZA70).

Both cars feel very different, and alot of it contributing to the motor. People in Socal have to deal with illegals smogs.

Although the 1UZ never leaves me for more power, it just doesn't have the kick of twin turbos. However, should you need a place to work on 1Js in Socal, driftmotion.com is the place to go.

I agree with the rest of the members here. As a toy, go 1J. As a daily, go 1U. A younger car with less abuse is probably a better buy if the price is the same. I own both (and more) since I can't make up my bloody mind.

Good luck.

lolololol

thanks guys. my old plan was GS400 but since the gas goes too high i changed my plan to those two sc(i heard both of sc can reach 22-25mpg)

hope i can get lexus soon.

I'd go 98 if you want resale value and the car isn't going to be a project.

but if you want a project beast, then the 1Jz is a good platform to start, also i think the mpg is better on the 1JZ because of its 2.5 liter displacement

818sc400

more like 16-18 mpg

lolololol

i think 98+ sc400 can get 22-25? (cuz vvti?)

if only can get 16-18 i may consider GS400 again.
