Default SC300 w/ 1JZGTE swap

Received deposit. Waiting for rest of money.

PRICE DROPPED TO $3800 FIRM! THIS IS A CRACKHEAD PRICE. I JUST BOUGHT A DAILY CAR AND CAN'T AFFORD TO MODIFY CARS ANYMORE.

ABSOLUTELY NO JOY RIDING. IF YOU WANT TO MASH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, YOU WILL NEED TO GET IT DYNO TUNED. THE PRICE IS LOW ENOUGH ALREADY.

I ASK NICELY TO EVERYONE TO KEEP YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO YOURSELF. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY DISSUADE ANYONE FROM PURCHASE THIS CAR, PLEASE CONSULT ME FIRST.

THANKS

CLEAN CARFAX AND TITLE!

You are looking at probably one of the most cleanest SC300 around. The exterior does not have any paint fades at all and still looks like it has come off the showroom floor. The two front seats are immactualte and there are no signs of wear or tear; however the back seats are fading a bit, but no tear and the back trunk currently has two holes from a spoiler; do not have spoiler.

Now to business...
The motor is a 1JZGTE which is 93+ Supra TT motor's little brother. The 1JZGTE has been known to take about 700rwhp on stock block. You will be tickling this motor at 500rwhp. The motor runs perfect (I've done a compression test and the results came out nice) and does not hesitate at all! I have street tuned it roughly to get through on a daily basis, but it would be a plus if you put it on a dyno to get more power out of it, but for now, you will need to get a smaller wastegate spring since the turbo is too big for the stock injectors. Here are the list of modifications.

- Top mount exhaust manifold with T4 flange
- TIAL external wastgate with 16 psi spring
- TIAL BOV
- 3.25" downpipe with three O2 sensor bungs
- stock catback exhaust (extremely quiet and stealthy)
- FMIC with 2.5" and 3" tubing.
- EBAY T67 turbo BUT it spools extremely nice and there are absolutely no oil leaks or blown seals at all. The turbo has been used for only couple hundred miles replacing the GT35r.
- Aeromotive Adjustable FPR
- 1JZGTE Aristo ECU
- Fresh tires
- Upgraded Automatic transmission valvetrain

Few things you need to be aware of
- AC does not work, but may be something electrical as the compressor is not kicking in but I feel some air coming through the vent.
- Rack and pinion needs to be replaced
- Power steering pump needs to be replaced
- Spring and probably the struts may need to be replaced
- Air bag light is on (may be a fuse, don't know)

This is one of the main reason the price is cheap because you will need to at least replace the things mentioned above. You will also need to get it insepcted if your state requires one.

I am also open to trades with an automatic car (my fiance needs a daily) plus cash on top on your end.

Car is sold as is.

Thanks.

This car will go for a lot more when the economy gets better, which some say will be in late summer to early this fall.
