Soo, in a bit of a twist...and need either some good flaming or encouragement..Most of you have seen my SC300, and I love my car..but due to slow work and short funds, I have had to scrap any idea of going na-t or gte.

But I have been offered a straight trade for a 1G DSM that has the following:

3" Full Exhaust
ACT 2900 Cluch and Flywheel
Eibach Springs
KYB AGX Shocks

I know the guys that built the car, and have lots of respect for them...not to mention I have much respect for the 9 sec DD R32 one of them owns..Now dont get me wrong, I love my lex, but have a weak spot for AWD and DSM's..just need some advise from some fellow SC owners...would you do it?


pics of the car here:http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/i.../jasons%20g37/

note: the G37 is one of their new starting projects..cant wait to see it come together.

 

the car is dirty in the pics...rain+dirt..not good

 

naw man dont do it. dsm's are nice n all but they aint kno lexus..jus keep the sc and leave it na until u have the funds to na-t it or gte cuz it will be well worth it trust me...and i have na-t stuff im selling now for extra cheap if u on a budget jus lmk

 

I'm not sure about the engine mods because I don't really know much about it, but that car is ugly IMO. Never liked it and never will. I rather drive your nice SC, though slow, but still eye candy.

 

Not a very flattering car but I see how you are torn. Boost is very appealing when you don't have to work for it. Stand tall and hold on to the Lex or you will regret it.

 

that thing must pull hard... but damn it's ugly..

 

dont do it bro just hang on a bit longer with your project dont give up on it cuz ur in a dry spell. One day that SC you trade a way is gonna spank u up in a race and your gonna be like LoL

 

Keep the SC. Cars like that usually have had the chit beat out of them.

 

very good point...lol


i had a gsx in the past that i ran 19psi on and it was just disgusting on the power...and yes they are ugly...very ugly

but i can see everyone point, and its exactly what i needed to hear..i guess the SC will stay and be built over time..

 

NOW YOU TALKING

 

dsm make me barf

 

dsm's are tight... i always loved them.

 

i always liked that body style dsm but if i had to choose i'd keep the sc. and think of it this way, you said times a hard and funds arent coming in so if you were to trade for this car as modified as you listed it is. sounds like a car that you would need some side money incase something happens that needs fixing. thats how i see it

 

i always liked dsm's. But you're a damn idiot if you trade. There's a reason he wants to get rid of that beast for your slow **** sc300.

 

Keep the SC! Ive had mine for a couple years with only suspension and exhaust. Im saving to go NA-T, slowly but surely. You know what they say, the best things are worth waiting for.
