What up club lexus?
My name is Marc and im glad to be here. Im new here and posted in the noob thread and decided to finally make a build thread seeing as how the mod bug bit me extra hard and my cars can never be stock.
I came from the world of mitsubishis. I personally have a galant i swapped from an auto to 5 spd manual and turbo'd and dubbed her "Ivory"

My throw out bearing eventually failed and i needed something to drive around reliably while i worked on the galant. My girlfriend has a white 95 sc400 and i loved the car so i started looking around for one....i came across a deal on an 88 toyota 5 spd turbo that i picked up. A month later i sold that and on march 26 of this year i picked up my 92 sc400 and called him "Ebony" haha let the ebony and ivory puns begin![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

my girls Sc and mine..
My first mod was some 10k Hids for the lows and 3k for the hi beams

I also cleaned up the headlamps and fogs with the turtle wax defogger stuff to get off that aweful oxidation!
The next mod was blacking out the low/hi beams and foglights/tail lights

Nice Galant! I always liked those cars, but they never got any love here in the U.S. Wish they had made the VR4 available here, but I guess you did the next best thing by adding your own turbo.
Great start on the SC also!
