this is my SC300, as you can see..it's completely stock. I'm getting some of those stock SC430 wheels and removing the center caps as my fist mod. Can anyone recommend a good entry level mod for this car? Thanks.

how about the JIC exhaust that Steve is having in the Venors classifieds... excellent JDM exhaust system for a great price. once you got exhaust, then you can do your own BFI intake (go to www.planetsoarer.com to find out about the BFI or search.) and lastly- some suspension. If your strapped for cash, or just cheap, then you can go the springs and strut route, or you can get a set of coil overs. as far as springs go- espelir or eibachs with Tokico's seem to be the norm here... although there are some other great JDM springs (Kg/mm, tein S-Techs etc.) or if you want to go the coil over route- then JIC (quite a few members have the JIC coilovers), HKS, Cusco, Tanabe and Tein (tein flex can be found for a resonable amount) all make set ups (some may require you to use the MKIV Supra set up but they will work on a scX00.) that should keep you busy for a while- and get you one heck of a nice SC.

You could also just go with wheels and get a nice sporty set of 17's or 18's... the TT Supra wheels look great on the SC- they look like the SC should have come from the factory with them.

But right now- If i was looking to start modding I would get the JIC exhaust- click this link to see the details-

Welcome to the club man, your SC is looking sharp. sc400texas has given you some good entry level mod advice. Here's a link to see just how far some members have taken things: VVT-i Turbo SP63
