the red one is like my arch nemesis right now lol. i really want it to go away!
You told me yourself and sometimes it's better to lose some at first but gain more in return,

You're getting it for stupid cheap, the interior itself costs how much you're going to pay or the whole car plus the gated shifter, the vvti motor, and the aero on it

Very nice build thread. I don't understand why you'd sell it, though. Seems like it'd be a waste. The SC400 is worth so much more personally then to an old guy looking for a Toyota. (The market wouldn't be very good to sell it either)

Gimmi full pictures of your car. I can't find any.

You're reasoning for things truly puzzle me, OEM Black interior goes for a lot on the classifieds, don't be dumb and paint it when you can get a full interior for you know how much plus a whole car with it.

your life truly puzzles me lol, a car is a companion in life, almost like a child, you dont just 'kick it to the curb' cuz u like another car, if u do so then ur not into cars, u just abuse them. kinda like the guys who get married and the guys who think they're pimps, aka me vs. you

alright because I'd rather spend 2-3k on repairs for a car that will still only be in the end 300k and salvaged title, I'm telling you this so you can save money and headaches in the long run, lexus doesn't even want to align your car. But K your car spend your money on it

I think otherwise your 1uz has over 300k on it, like I said do a compression test and most
Likely it's in for a rebuild, might as well replace your motor and transmission mounts too while your at it.

A rebuild kit from the block up is only $400 lucky for you. Found OEM piston rings 175, head studs 350..
