Default My first Rwd car - Sc300

Hello CL. I just recently bought my first rwd car a 92 sc300 5spd. This is my fifth car. Ive been in the honda game for a while and now im moving up! lol.

car is a 92 sc300 5spd with 137,000 miles. Body is not so great i most likely will need a new front end, and also.. Paint! the interior is pretty clean though.

pics.







car came with mb battles 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear + 2 brand new 18x9.5



^missing this door molding, is this replaceable?? looks broken :/

i know its not clean its ugly right now but my plans are the NA-T kit, and maybe a body kit and air bag suspension. thats it! lmk what u guys think.

Congrats, I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun with the car. No more torque steer, lol.

Those are some clean Honda's man. If you repaint the SC, are you going to keep it white?

thanks everyone yea the car is a project. about to purchase some stance coilovers for now. Undecided about the paint, might go pearl white or the murdered out look. :/

as far as body kit, i seen some on ebay for a pretty good price. what are you guys suggestions on these? They kinda look like the vertex.

Fitment is normally terrible on those ebay knockoffs. Your best bet is the stock 97+ body kit.

Welcome to CL and treat her well!

Agreed. If you buy a kit off eBay you better have good body man lined up.

Welcome to CL! The door molding can get bought a the junk yard unless you go for 97+. I'm all about the knock offs just know you get what you pay for! Holla at shineauto or race-on usa, as far as knocks for body kits. The only thing I would use in my motor bay off of ebay is a no-named F.M.I.C! To me a F.M.I.C. is a F.M.I.C. I don't care who make them LOL!

Those ebay body kits are generally junk.

But for that door molding, you can get one off of any 92-96 SC. If you PM "aliga" he more than likely has one. (He's the "junkyard" guy here on CL)

For NA-T options, check out clubna-t.com
