hello guys, my name is chueye and im from Minnesota. i've just received my dads 95 sc400 from him.at first I didn't want it but he kept insisting me to take it and after doing a bit of research on the sc's.i've found out I could convert it into a 5 speed.so pretty soon im gonna be starting on a big project on the sc and will be asking a lot of questions, and some dumb questions too.lol im a Honda guy so now im gonna try something new for once and hopefully I will be successful with this project.

Hello, my name is jenni. i just recently discovered this forum looking for help with my lexus. i have a 1996 dark green Lexus sc300. it was an sc400, but before i purchased the car they put a v6 in it. i love my car, and this site is extremely helpful. i have had quite a few problems with my car as of late. but, i am no longer taking it to shops. i am learning as i am going, slowly getting my car up to par. i have high hopes that this forum will be very helpful

in regards to a picture, i just got a new laptop, so i am still figuring out how to do that. haha. 21 years old and i don't know how to internet

I have been lurking for a bit and joined today. I will soon buy a SC300 or Sc400.

Looks like a LOT of well informed members on here.

Default New Member (Gee) - 99 SC300 from TX

I'm new to the forums and I have been reviewing the threads for over 6 months reading comments, DIY and what to look for in purchasing a SC. I finally purchased a pearl white 99 SC300 from a 92 old lady (gave it to her daughter to sell) in near mint condition. It has 103k miles, all service done by Lexus (all service done before requirements) and had the 90K service done at 78K. It was located out of state but I went to look at it and jumped on the deal quickly. Here are some pictures and some things I've done/looking to do.

Repairs Done
1. Hanging jugs..sorry I mean nets - Fixed (saw DIY on forum)
2. Passenger front/fog lights faded some - Fixed (DIY)
3. Clean interior/exterior more - Done

Services Needed
1. Oil Change
2. Radiator flush
3. Replace trunk hood arms - will get the StrongArms 4508

Upgrades Later
1. Coilovers - Maybe Megan EZ or others mentioned
2. Tires/Rims - 18" or 19" staggered 9 Front / 10 Rear with decent lip/offset
3. Rear Window Spoiler
4. Change Air Intake / Maybe other performance tweaks
5. LS400 brake upgrade
6. CarPC w/ 7" touchscreen - hopefully move radio to to middle console (I've done this before on my truck - 6 yrs now)
7. Anything else?

I appreciate everyone's help on this forum providing detail information. I welcome your comments or suggestions....Finally in the SC Club!
