Short answer: Nope, sorry.

Long answer: Anything can be fabricated to make it fit. Sounds like, from the IS-F discussions, we've got an ECU/TCU tuner that might be able to do the job. IMO not worth the effort.

yea I read that thread. I will believe it when I see it. Not something I will spend that kind of $$ on this car. Then again who knows with me

so back to the S/C...what do you really think it would take to fabricate it? just the I/C pipes and stuff? Would it bolt up to my engine? or is there a big difference?

I was the member who sold my 1993 SC300 5sp 7 months ago and I believe it was to a CL member as well and he turned around and tried to sell it 2 months later for some reason (I know he already owned like 3 cars at that time). I do not know if he had sold it yet but if not, you can search around the boards and see if you can locate him.

Reason I sold it was because I bought a GS430. And now I want a stickshift again.

The 430 is a very nice car, so quiet, so smooth, so luxurious, and so boring hahahaha

Good luck, those cars are hard to come by these days.

Default Curious....

Yeah, I have a 96 sc300, manual, red color with 43,000 miles sitting in my garage. It has 18in Volk AV3 wheels, tein coilovers, authentic vertex lip kit, Blitz nur-spec exhaust...I've owned the car 3.5 years and never has been driven in snow. I bought it with 28,000miles on it completely stock from guy who had 6 cars which included a nsx, lotus, etc....I took it off his hands.... I'm not selling it as of yet, but just wanted to know how much you expect to buy something like this.... I have a daily driver civic which is heavily modded too, so maybe for a good price, I could put more effort into one car.
