Exclamation My First Sc300 after nearly looking around for 7 months

Hello everyone! I'm Lokesh.I picked up a 93 5speed Sc300 few weeks ago from one of the members here. Not the best one out there, but i realised not all the older cars are in great condition, but this one was fairly acceptable for me. The car runs like a charm, accept for a few oil leaks . I've been a long time member here but never posted because there was soo much to learn from this forum by reading itself.

Did the fogg light modd on the car soo far.
Cleaned up the leather on the rear
Restored Headlights
and few other basic maintenance on the car
Future plans:
Get Climate control screen
Replace driver door panel
Change to walbro fuel pump as this one has put me down already one time for some reason, still working on the diagnosis. Car runs like normal now.
Will start on performance once i have everything working right on the car.

Looks great, I like that color.

You'll probably find that the fuel pump relay is the cause of your issue. Search through the forums to find threads about this matter. Very simple fix if you're up to it.

Welcome

You mean the EFI relay? All i have really seen is people do a 12V modd, but i really dont wanna do it yet cus i have read both good and bad things about it on the forum. So im really twisted about how its outcome would be on mine & Thanks for suggestions.

Yes i have not been active for last few months, but that does not mean i didnt do anything to my SC300.

Over the last few months i have done the following
-->TspNy HID KIT 6000k Low and 3000K High
--> Ebay Rear window visor and side visors
--> Walbro 255 lph kit
--> Viper Remote Start
Bunch of maintaince like spark plugs and wires, coolant flush, radiator hoses, heater hoses replaced.
Coming soon 1JZ
This car is far from being done, but its getting there slowly.
Also im in the market for supra TT Rims, if anyone has them for sale please PM me

That's my favorite color on the older SC's. TT wheels will look great, especially if they are the chrome ones.
