Hey girls and guys. I finally decided to start my build thread. I hope you enjoy.

I picked up my 1992 SC400 in December, the previous owner was a complete idiot and obviously did not care about the vehicle. Car was keyed, dented up, motor was trashed, transmission was garbage, I could go on and on. Replaced with a 2jzgte, and boostlogic built auto.

Glad to see another Georgia SC rescued from the grips of idiots and into a welcoming owner/driver.

Awesome body work and great turbo set-up.

I usually have an ad up too. It's pretty funny when people ask about why I'm "selling" my car already.

Car has already came a long way. How is the drive ability of it? Any little issues that need to be tweaked or worked out besides all the body work? I would be so proud to find a good running swapped car like this.

Runs & drives awesome. Only issues that I have with her is the interior, i want to do a black conversion. Need to fix the gauge cluster, and the faded climate control, and fix the door panels. I also am thinking about doing an R154 swap, this is the first sc i've had without an r154 hah. The boostlogic auto is a very good, but its not good for the power i am trying to make, i popped one 2 months ago, so this is my second hahah. Other than those things the car is absolutely amazing. I can jump in her and drive to wherever without any issues.
