The side and rear windows are tinted and I have a custom fit sunshade as well.

Just finished washing the SC, almost ended up selling it but there's just too many good miles left on her and it'll be hard to find another one owner unmolested example.

Your car is super clean. You would have instantly regretted selling the car. Does your community allow washing cars in the driveway? I know in some of the older communities opening your garage for longer than 30 minutes used to get you in trouble with the HOA.

Yes, thankfully it's allowed and the HOA here isn't that **** about anything.

I saw your ad on craiglist and I would look at it almost everyday admiring how clean it is. I couldn't find your ad anymore so I thought you sold it already.

I'm at a constant battle going back and forth if I'm going to sell my car or not.

Yes, have a 99 SC400 since I can't get my 96 turbo to pass emissions. Got to have an SC by any means necessary.
She runs flawlessly, installed the Shine kit have to get it painted. Keeping this one stock for now.

You definitely chose the right sc to have if it isn't going to be boosted.

How's your new suspension? Did it drop significantly? I'm not sure if it's the angle of the pic or driveway, but the front looks lower than the rear?

Yes, you are correct the front is a tad bit lower than the rear. I has not quite settled yet pic was taken right removing the jack stands. The Supra TT springs only dropped it about 1 inch front and 0.5 inch in the rear.
However, it handles very nice.

Thanks for the info. Kindly post pics once they've settled. I'm planning to go the same route
