I totally agree. I've been spending my afternoons slowly taking apart the old SC300. I've already painted most of the interior black, minus the seats and dashboard. I spent a pretty penny having my trim and 3 spoke steering wheel wrapped. I don't plan on letting it go to waste.

I've found that Sc400 listed earlier in this thread, If all goes well I should be picking it up next week. I've been doing a lot of drawing and brain storming, and do not quite know if I will be doing any performance mods to it though. I really dislike having an automatic vehicle, as this will be my second. My first one was only used for 2 weeks as I was waiting for my Sc300 to come into view.

I have a complete SC300 and 5 speed transmission with a new clutch and light flywheel. I don't want this to go to waste, but it seems pointless to remove the V8 and install the I6. I am open to suggestions and ideas.

 

can't believe ur frens where laughing at u though man. dats kinda messed up. but GL wit ur new car man! SC's FOREVER! haha. or maybe that's just how i feel...

Peace out

 

Well, I picked up my new SC400 last night. Pictures soon to come!

 

Congrats on the SC purchase! Glad to hear everything looks to be falling into place

Current Numbers as of 2008 07 27 (Not blown)
Run 1: Max Power - 200.76, Max Torque - 292.30
Run 2: Max Power - 201.73, Max Torque - 305.79
Run 3: Max Power - 200.01, Max Torque - 359.00
The torque is way off. I hope to dyno it again and have the correct numbers.

 

Seems to be a nice upgrade, really clean sc4

 

Good to see you still have your spirits up on the SC project!

 

very clean and I am slightly jealous actually, now to swap out that slushbox they call a transmission!

 

nice car, super clean .. good luck with it...

 

how are you liking the V8?

 

I love it. The power delivery is perfect for my use.
Thanks
I have the entire 5 speed setup from the wrecked SC300, I am thinking about doing that

 

that is clean!!!

 

wow talk about a turn around! haha im glad things are definitly looking up as they go, and good thing your not drooping around depressed about it i hope things continue in your favor

 

Damn did you steal my car? LOL!

 

My thoughts exactly. Or you can sell the drivetrain and use the money for more parts on the new car. Good luck.
