My NA-T, R154 is a absolute blast to drive! Around corners, in the straights... I just smile all the time driving her.

5 Speed swap the V8 for now... At least it will be more fun to drive!

You guys are so persuasive. LOL! I think the Lexus crowd is great so that alone is a huge reason why I wouldn't want to leave. I'm debating...

LOL! You know I have been watching this forum and lextreme for FI kits but I changed my mind. I want to get on the track so if I do any mods now it'll be suspension or manual transmission swap. Just not sure if I want to pull the trigger on this car or start on another car that is already lightweight.

That is very true. I barely even see any on the streets at all and if I do they are stock.

Nice build btw m90 and manual...phew must be a blast. Big investment though I'm sure.

That Subie sounds tempting and alot more fun being AWD....2dr RS are pretty rare and gots potential. I would pass on the S14
SC's can be fun just takes $. I think you should consider why you owned the SCs for so long. There is something there that you might regret later and be back like so many have. But if your goals are different and heart isnt there anylonger i say go for it.

Thank you!
well its not done yet still in the build process as of now. just getting everything i need and sourcing out everything i need. im deployed right now and just have been buying stuff i cant wait to start wrenching on my car again..

but yes most SC's ive seen are either ragged out, old person drives one or its rocking like 22in wheels... i occasionally get the older Male SC drivers who have had there's since brand new walk up to me at a gas station and said he loved my SC4 and how it sounded.. then i look over and there SC4 is like a 99 with like 30k miles CLEAN as HELL i asked him how much he drives it and just takes it out on the weekends golfing

not being rude but if your into cheap power and u dont care about style why not just get a Honda?

I myself would never trade an Sc for those cars u mentioned, big step down in class IMO.

Lol thats a bit harsh, actually think the 2.5 RS might be a worthy trade.

I say get a 300; it sounds like that's what you're really lookin' for.
The 400 was made to make sales, the 300 is everything you need.
