Default New owner of a 93 sc300

Hello guys my names Govani;
I just want to say im new to the world of sc300 or Lexus vehicles. I've always been a muscle car kind of guy. Ive never owned a import especially a auto car! But it all changed when I saw this Lexus for sale. I was in need of a daily driver since my Cobra is my track car. I want everyone's opinions on how I did with this find gem I want you guys to guess what I paid for the car?

These are all the goodies, the car came equip with. Let's start with the:

Exterior: AuthenticAuto Couture Body Kit JDM OEM Soarer Emblems JDM OEM Side Markers 8000k Flowmaster HID's 1997 OEM Trunk Wing 1997 OEM Taillights 1997 OEM Foglights 1997 OEM Grille 1997 OEM Door Molding Shaved Antenna

Suspension: Tein Super Street Coilovers LS400 Front Calipers & iRotors Supra TT Rear Calipers & iRotors Daizen LCA Bushings Daizen Steering Rack Bushings TRD Strut Bar

Proformance: JIC Magic Catback SUS Exhaust K & N High Flow Air Filter

Wheels: Volks gt-c 18x8 and 18x9 rears
Interior: 1998 Supra Seats Lexus IS 300 steering wheel.

The car has a little over 200k on the 2jze motor NA turbo with all of them being highway miles. At first it was going to be a daily, and I wasn't going to put any money into it. But I fell in love with the car! Now it has a turbo kit coming it's way soon after the holidays.

Sorry for the errors guys and gals. Crappy phone doesn't do me any justice lol. Especially these fat fingers-__-.
Anyways ill be picking alot into your brains for some knowledge.


I want
Steering

That is one of their top sellers on DM. Welcome to the club. I know you will enjoy the 2JZ with that boost at tap. No more domestics for you, after the tune! Post pictures when you can....

Have no idea as of now still looking into it . Since this would be my first turbo build. I have no idea what kind of numbers I should expect. But I do want at least a little over 500

I'd guess you paid just under $6k for that.
Nice find by the way, hope you enjoy it for a long while to come and welcome to the site.
