Default Ms. Alexa - Build Thread

Hey there, My name's Neil.

Long time lurker here on CL, thought i would finally take the time out to introduce myself. So, i'm from Surrey B.C. Canada haha and i own a 95 SC400. It's Renaissance Red Mica on Black leather.

I bought it in the summer of 2010 and it had approx. 194,000 kilometres on it, has like 212 on it now.

I've been spending the last two years bringing back to original glory, still has plenty to go. I'll be putting pics up soon, possibly tomorrow as it's currently sitting in my garage awaiting a new radiator and electric fan setup.

It has an Injen short ram intake with Apexi cone filter
Fujitsubo Legalis R modded to fit
Carbing Radiator Cooling plate
URAS tie rods (not yet installed)
Super Now tie rod ends
A80 Supra wheels in silver with 255's and 235's respectively
LED's and HID's
Woodgrain look pieces in the interior

I'm looking at keeping this thing for a long time to come as it's my first car
I'm planning making this thing the best of both worlds, having sexy looks and killer performance

MKIV wheels. Chassis code for a MKIV is JZA80. whereas the MKIII is MA70 or JZA70. The MKIII guys refer to their cars as an A70, so an A80 is a MKIV

Also, need I mention...this thread is useless without pics!

Thanks. I knew that. Never heard of just "A80" ever being used.

What up Neil!

Long time no talk, was wondering if you were still cruisin' around in the SC. Good to hear that you are.
Saw your SC at a meet but it sounds like you've made some changes, lets see some pics man!

Sorry about the dirty pics, been sitting in the garage for a week, awaiting parts. Here's another pic of the interior.
