Cool New SC300 Owner ...edit - pics!!

Hey guys,

Just came to say hi! I have been a SC300/400 fan since high school (back in the stone age) and I will get my grubbly little hands on one in a couple of days

I recenltly bought a 95 SC300, silver/blue with grey leather interior, 5sp, 104k miles for around $8k. I feel so lucky finding this gem...I know manual transmission SC's are hard to find. It's completely stock and runs great...just needs alittle wash and wax job.

My plans for the car are some 19" Volks or OZ, tien coilovers, 97+ front bumper, WALD kit and upgrade the interior. nothing crazy...just nice a clean and simple. Also give the car a once over with glossy silver metallic blue paint on the outside.

I will post pictures later this week when I pick up the car



In the meantime I posted some pictures of my other car...the Honda S2000. I love this car and it's a total race car inside out. 240hp with 9000 redline

I'm thinking about selling the car but not sure yet. The S is great and fun to drive but after a while it's too loud, too rough and raw, and doesn't have a whole lotta space. Also the screaming sounds of the engine and razor cornering scares the crap out of my gf. She's so relieved that I'm getting a SC.

anyways...here are the pics and I'll post up pics of the SC soon. I hope meet some cool people and learn alot from this forum as much as I learned from the s2000 forums (s2ki.com)

haha Thanks but I plan on redoing my leather interior with black leather seat with grey leather inserts. I don't think tan seats and grey interior panels go well together

I finally snapped a few pictures. I spent a couple of hours claybaring and waxing the car but have not had a chance to detail the interior.

please excuse my crappy photography skills

great condition & price!

does the car have all original panels & no accidents? If so, you got a deal.
