guys i just got my lowering springs installed on my sc400 and i have a list of things that i want to get for my car and i was wondering what u all think of this order. I also already have mym wiindows tinted.

1. rims
2. bodykit
3. sound system with tv/dvd
4. HID
5. exhaust
6. intake

thanks

 

order sounds pretty good .. except you have a 97+ and they look pretty good , so I think the bodykit could be down farther on your list.

what body kit where you thinking of?

 

I would do it in this order...

1) Wheel and Coilovers (at the same time)
2) HID
3) Body Kit (are you still "in" on the group buy?)
4) Exhaust
5) Sound System
6) Intake

I just tried out the Tein CS (for the Supra) in a '97 SC300 with 18" wheels and it drove GREAT! I drove down a really jacked up street (broken asphalt all over) and it drive very nice...took a few corners hard and it stuck well...definitely recommend the Tein CS for the SC...and if you like it stiffer, you can go with the Tein HA's or the FLEX (which for the Supra/SC, it's much stiffer than for the GS for some reason...)

PM me if you want prices...

Oh yeah, on #2, the HID's, on the SC300 I test drove today, it had a set of Koito (OEM manufacturer for Toyota) Hiper Blue headlights (or whatever they're called...) Compared to the "stock" lights, they looked like HID's in every respect! I didn't have a HID equipped car to compare it to but at like $80 for a pair (or was it $70?), it might be worth looking at...

For those, contact Steve Ganz. I am going to install a set in a SC and take before and after pictures (plus pictures of one head with the Koito and one with the stock lights)

 

yeah put the body kit last...

and get rims first and then HIDs... and then sound system

 

some like show, others like go. I'd prefer to have the "go" first, then have the show. The SC400 is not a fast car. If I was you, I'd do exaust, intake & ECU all at the same time.

Also, IMO, I'd move the power producing mods up higher. If you're in on manaray's group buy, don't back out of that. Get the body kit, then get the power... won't find a price that good on Autoculture for a while.

i'm more of a show guy cuz i like turning heads and i'm not bent on speed so the order i would go is

1 rims (actually i would have done this first)
2 body kit
3 exhaust (jus b/c it does add to the look as well as performance)

and the rest of the stuff i probably would care too much on the order.

 

Well, i fyou want show, then you should get undercarriage lights, etc... j/k

What about xenon/hid? what year is your ride again?

 

toog, Ive got a server I can throw your pic up on, email againstallodds403@hotmail.com with the pic attached

4.) Greddy MX exhaust
5.) In dash TV and 2 Headrests with 1 12in Driver and a nice amp
