Default New guy

Well yesterday I traded my 03 cbr954rr and 2k cash for a 1995 Sc300 with 144k miles on it. the guy drove up from OR to wa about 8 hours or so todo the deal wich was great anyways heres some info on it. most of this are his words.

***he had it for 7 years
purchased it as a certified pre-owned Lexus from Lexus of Portland in perfect condition with 60K. Car currently has about 144,000 . The car is an original 5 speed (1 of 517) and was Renaissance red/tan interior.

-The Car has about 250-300 lbs of weight reduction while keeping a full interior. So it now weighs about 3200lbs. Parts that contributed to weight reduction are as follows:
-Aftermarket steering wheel w/ no air bag. Airbag still available and functional.
-Supra TT Tan Leather Seats, hundreds of pounds lighters, you sit two or three inches lower(important for big guys like me that need to wear a helmet)
-Rear seat belts removed - still have belts.
-CD Changer Removed
-Cruise Control Removed - still have CC module.
- Recent parts/maintenance: E-brake leather surround, power steering pump, oil change (mobil 1 5w30 every 3,000 for life), plugs, wires, VC gasket(painted VC gold while I was in there), new leather shift boot and surround, battery quick disconnect, floor mats(they dont make new ones anymore),trunk struts,rear spindle, rear rotors, OEM trunk carpet, and more I am forgetting of course.
-JIC FLTA-2 Coilovers
-Full Energy Suspension Bushing Kit
-C's Short Shifter
-20% Tint
-95up LS400 Big Brake Upgrade
-"BFI" Intake - Partially Taken apart, makes way more power than aftermarket units.
-Carbon A-pillar covers
-Daizen Poly Sway Bar Bushing Kit F&R
-2.5" Catback Exhaust with Top Speed Muffler, piping pretty much straight from cat to rear of car.
-Supra TT Sway Bars (not currently installed, removed to buy something adjustable)
-Supra TT Wheels in Bronze. 17x8 17x9.5 235F 265R Falken FK452
-Daizen Steering Rack Bushings
-Slightly modded MKIV.com alignment specs
-Red/Clear 95-96 Taillights
-Completely shaved emblems(had to fill 13 holes)
-JDM Soarer Side Markers
-JDM Soarer Rear Window Shade
-McCullochs 6000K HID Kit - One ballast is broken - comes with extra set of
bulbs however
-PIAA ION Crystal Driving Light Bulbs
-Supra TT Spare ( stock doesnt clear big brakes and is full sized, TT spare is a 35lb reduction.
-Dodge Viper Red Paint(3 years old)
-Custom Soarer Logo Sun Visors
-92-94 SC400 Front Lip
-Carbon Fiber Hood

Looks really good except for that fender. No biggie though. Sounds like it'll be a fun car.
