thekevin: not too much as of now.. the previous owner gave me the stock intake box and radio. there is a stock 12 cd changer in my trunk. i thought it was a joke, but he showed me the original window sticker and it said 12 cds and i was just like O.O for a bit.
thanks mos_def and acid!

thanks guys! unfortunately it's at a shop right now, just b/c i wanted to get it professionally checked out to make sure it'll last til i save up for an engine rebuild.
and i just realized i never got interior pics, so:

yes, the shift **** is off. i just jacked it from my tC to see if the shifters' threadings from the sc and tC are the same, and they are. mr2 ones are apparently different.

Nice SC! Last summer we did a Soarer 1JZ swap into my friend's SC, who has a black '95 5speed. SCs have a lot of potential.

emperor : thanks man! i honestly think the 90s was the peak of lexus' line up, so this sc was perfect.
pete: thanks man. yup! nardi. i'll try to get a pic of it later when i'm not in mad lazy mode.
ben: yeeahh sonn haha. come seeeeee fooooo
Solelaced : my ffs are going to stay on my car. i may part it out when i seriously think about trading in my tC for a 3dr yaris or a fit, but for now, i need my low.
pinoyfm : oo my car used to be black. and it's a 95... but yeah, sc's do have potential, i highly doubt i'm gona be dropping any 1jz or gte engine in there though.. my hp/tq plans for this car isn't that high anyway. i'll be running -3 or 4 camber and stretched tires. i doubt 1000 hp will be a smart choice... lol

doubt anyone gives a rat's @ss, but i'm gona update this just b/c i don't feel like sleeping just yet...
yesterday i had a day off work and had no classes, so i decided to play around with spacers. i got the fitment i'm going to aim for now, and also found out that the wheel specs that the previous owner told me were off.
He told me F: 18x8 +38, R: 18x9 +45.
with some measuring and a lot of eyeballing, i came to the conclusion that the actual specs are F: 18x9 +38 R: 18x10 +38.
So, knowing that, this is 18x10 +18:

and for lulz, this is 18x10 +3:


That is all for now. 'nite sl.

lol it could be done with a mad camber and 225 or less stretched on, but i don't want to run any more than -4 camber, i want a clean stretch, like 235/245 on 10" width, and the previous owner trimmed the fenders so it'll be really hard to pull them out.

how did I not know about this thread until now...haha shows you how often I browse SL now...lol

Matt, you know how I feel about the SC, and I'll be seeing you on ClubLexus now =P

Yea, seems like most of the OG tC heads are starting to upgrade...I wonder whose going to be next...=X In the meantime, I know you'll still be around with the DD tC, but if you decide to part out, I call dibs on the weathertech visors, lol

Not me, that's for sure. I got 3 more years with the tC. Even then, I'm not going to sell it. I'll just pick up another car. LOL
