Default Some updated pics of my Soarer wannabe

http://houston-imports.com/forums/sh...=1#post1945886

Just a regular ol' 93 SC300 with a small list of mods which includes:
Full 1JZ swap, HKS up-pipe w/ bov, Unorthodox Racing crank pulley, B&M Trans cooler, S-AFCII, HKS FCD, HKS Turbo Timer, Supra TT wheels (235/40/17 front, 275/40/17 rear), Bilstien Shocks, SC400 front lip, Soarer steering wheel cover, Autometer Boost & Oil pres. gauges, A/F Gauge, Custom triple gauge pod (still working on it), I think thats about it....








If anyone wants to post the pics on this thread feel free to. Im not sure how to do it.. In not all that good with computers.

Looks pretty good. I like the color too. That fan looks pretty scary without the shroud on it though

What does that mean. The majority of sc's are auto. I don't get it. I'll bet most people prefer auto. City traffic with a manual is the pitts.

It means 5-speed/6-speed > auto any day of the week. ANd yes, most SCs are auto, yet another reason why manuals are better IMO of course....

But still, awesoem car man, Ive always loved your ride

I have Florida plates b/c im from Orlando, and im only out here in houston for school. I graduate in Dec. so ill be back in Florida soon to meet up with some of you Florida people Yea, the automatic sucks, but a friend of mine has a mkiv 6 speed in tampa and I plan on dropping that in when I move back to Florida, hehe.. And that fan shroud thing.. Yea I broke it while I was taking out my radiator. Im getting some dual flexlite 210 fans soon along with some polishing done to clean up the engine bay a little. Being a student away from home makes you pretty broke.

Nice car, I've always loved your stance with the TT rims. Kinda an inspiration to me I guess.
