Nice 240 SX
Why do you have Toyota wheels
Your supercharged Lexus is cool
Why is the door so heavy
Hey do you drift
What year is it
Why is the heat blowing on my feet in the middle of summer

1. Nice 240 SX!

Many forum members have had their SC mistaken for the Nissan 240 SX.

2. Why do you have Toyota wheels?

Have people asked you how you got those Toyota Supra rims to fit your Lexus SC? You’re not alone.

3. Your supercharged Lexus is cool!

Of course! "SC" must mean "supercharged!" 

4. Why is the door so heavy?

Chances are, your passengers have complained about the doors being difficult to open and/or fully close.

5. Hey, do you drift?

ClubLexus forum member SC400Dude said it best: “Just because the Red Vertex Soarer drifts, now every SC does…”

6. What year is it?

People are always giving their two cents about what year they think your SC is. They also refuse to believe that it’s a pre-2000 SC.

7. Why is the heat blowing on my feet in the middle of summer?

If only they understood that the 1st gen SC has known compressor problems that cause hot air to blow from the A/C instead of cold. And that these parts are expensive to replace!
