Beautiful SC and nice work, mooooose! And... is that a Celica All-Trac ST165 next to it??
Yes sir, its my buddies. First time tkaing it out last night since the motor rebuild. Lots of issues to take care of here before its trustworthy on the road again. Running both on antique tags so no state inspection/emissions 😊😊
Hey everyone! Just figured I'd finally join the forum instead of lurking. Picked this up as a bone stock and pretty tired looking thing about 2 years ago for 800 bucks. Got to driving it and got attached real quick, so things just started to slowly escalate from there. After replacing the lower coil, fuel pump, doing the 12v mod, basic maintenance, installing a gauge cluster (seriously didn't have one) and rebuilding the ECU, it's been reliable as a hammer and a pleasure to own. First 2 pics are how it sits today (rear view on old tires), and the 3rd is the day I bought it. Just some simple mods done to it, but plan to keep adding more to the list as time goes on!

Hello everyone, I've been a long time visitor of ClubLexus for the past few years but never signed up to join in on all the conversations. Well today is the big days boys and girl! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared information that has helped me in the past with my SC300! Y'all are the best.
I'm a long time lurker here myself...had an Aristo swapped 2GS, but ended up pulling that out and selling the shell and was lucky enough to stumble upon and pick up a z30 with a factory 5 speed just last week though it's not nearly as clean as what I've seen here. I'm sure I'll catch hell for this, but I'm planning to drop the Aristo 2J in and using the car for local drift events
Anyway, as a newb to the 'yota car culture scene I learned (and continue to learn) a metric crapton over on the s160 forums and I can only imagine the plethora of knowledge I'll come across here!
Two days ago I joined the SC300 club of owners.
I now own a mostly stock 2JZ-GE 1995 SC300 with factory manual gearbox. It needs a decent amount of work, but I'm already in love. I even learned to drive stick on it in Charlotte of all places.
I hope to restore this model with a few simple mods. Maybe add in a Soarer Gauge cluster.
My other hobbies include trail running, filmmaking, and studying ancient history.
What color is this? Teal Mist Metallic? Fairly rare color.....
It is, in fact, the Teal Mist Metallic. I'm absolutely in love with the color. Whilst shopping for a car I wanted either an SC300 or a 5th Gen Celica in teal or black. I felt so lucky to find this already rare factory manual in teal and in decent shape. I haven't made any modifications as of yet but plan to very soon.
Thought it was about time to say HI..this car sc400 1992 been an project for me since i found it abandoned.. it is from the USA and imported to Canada.. lots of things were wrong with it..going to make up an thread in builds which will detail

Welcome....
Unfortunately, the front seats of SCs are the first to go as to wear and tear. Finding "...good condition OEM front seats.." is next to impossible in the US so your chances are slim.
You have roughly 3 choices. Professional reupholster, high quality seat covers (1 example below), or after market replacement seats (often involves new rails and loss of electric seat adjust). Research your best option for you....
Steering wheels have several after market choices and many go with a 3 spoke Lexus RX which requires some wiring challenges with the air bag harness. Use the search option and FAQ threads...
Post pics of your ride when you can.... and of any progress....
Las Vegas local just swooped up an SC300 off of Craigslist. Surprisingly clean and stock. Needs some restoration and time which I will definitely put in. Green with beige clean title 160k miles!
Badges were painted and HIDS installed but otherwise stock. Chrome is peeling off of the wheels. Aftermarket deck. Ac working needed a jump but starts fine now, paints peeling a bit but looking into restoring the beautiful green, seats a bit rough but not too bad, plan on replacing carpet to black, seat work, repainting wheels to an OEM look, paint restoration, and normal maintance items!
Just picked up a 1993 SC300 - Royal Jade Pearl with Tan interior. Had been sitting undriven for about a year but a pretty good service history prior to it being parked. Couple of outstanding issues - speedo not working, driver seat leather needs to be repaired/replaced, wheels need to be refinished/replace and nees some bodywork on the passenger rear quarter. Otherwise everything works. Have replaced rear trunk struts, antenna mast, rotor, distributor cap and ignition coil. Goes into the shop for replacement of all fluids, plugs and wires this week. Runs beautifully and looks terrific. These forums have already been a big help and expect they will continue to be.
