3rd time's a charm
 
Well i'm back in the SC community, hopefully for a good while this time
it seems like everytime i buy a SC i sink of bunch of money into it, get it about where i want it and end up selling it!

my first one, bought from a nice lady for 3200 bucks bone stock, did a 1jz swap, wheels, coilovers, newer mint seats and other misc things i think i owned it for 6 months and sold it to get something more practical

sales ad when i bought it, drove from SC to Nashville TN to get it

as i sold it, 1jz'd, Saleen'd, Tein'd lol

two weeks later my SC addiction is killing me, i bought HKSSC300's old SC, 95 black interior 5 speed, few nice mods but in dire need of TLC! all the classic SC300 common issues had to be fixed and more

picked up a GS430 for awhile, loved it to death but i missed my SC's so much, financial situation got better so i bought a 03 camry SE for the baby mobile and sold the GS430 to get another SC :)

I didn't go very far for my new one, and i know it about as well as the previous owner, ended up picking up my roommates 97 RSP NA-T car, We worked out a good deal with eachother so he could move onto his Corvette and i could get his car without breaking my bank and he has the peace of mind knowing it's in safe hands.



so here's my new SC, i plan on keeping it longer then the others

1997 RSP black interior NA-T, this car is in such great condition it just blows me away, i thought my last two where in great shape but this car feels new still.

sorry for all the pics, most people like pics in threads anyways so there you go, my SC history up until now. Don't have a whole lot planned in the near future for the RSP car, already bought a 99 GS300 3spoke wheel for it, after having it in my last car it's a MUST. maybe some spacers for the TT wheels for now, hopefully a manual swap next year and maybe some CCW's or something..

Glad to be back

thanks man,
Boostwerx.com turbo kit...

Manual boost controller

Custom oil lines

Universal FMIC/piping

HKS SSQV blow off valve

Custom 3" exhaust

hp is only about 240-50ish estimating right now, it's untuned so only at 4psi, i'm taking it up to RLZ to get it tuned to 9-10 psi soon then i'll post a dyno with #'s, it's suprisingly quick at 4psi and will go side by side with a 00 mustang gt 5 speed with bolt ons, which isn't bad for a auto SC300 on 4psi. Hoping to make 320-350whp after tune
