Default Back into an SC300

Its been almost 4 years since I've owned an SC. Just recently my Q45 got totaled by an idiot so I needed a replacement. I found this mint SC300 with just 107,000 for a good price and had to jump on it.


Not sure what I am going to do with it, but for now I'm just happy to be back.

Thanks guys. I am really excited to have an sc again. I think the first thing that I'm going to do is the Supra kyb agx and supra eibach springs. The stock suspension is pretty worn and is making groaning noises going over dips and bumps.

That's a clean SC. It's identical to my SC too.

Thanks...I was really lucky to find it. I'm going to get it detailed to get rid of some scratches, swirl marks, and some paintless dent removal some time in the next week or so.

Finally got around to doing something with the SC. I redid the ugly and corroded badges.
Before




After



I think it looks a lot better now.

And the best part of the car,


Whiteline bushings get here this week and coils will be ordered sometime soon.

Sorry to hear about your Q45, I was looking at buying one before I found the SC.

It's amazing how shiny the chrome and emblems still are on your car. God, that phone is HIDEOUS though!
