if...

your doors always get left ajar because it takes a lot of force to close them. x2 if your gf always needs two tries to close it properly.

you have to turn your dome light on just to see the climate control at night

people tell you it looks like a Honda Del Sol

people ask when you are doin the 2JZ swap

people step back and go WHOA baller! when you say you have a LEXUS

Point #1: Added to that, people always slam your door because its so heavy. Along the lines of the trunk, people just drop the lid of the trunk from full height, because they know the trunk struts are shot.

Point #2: NEVER even heard of that being said about an SC. A Del Sol is like 1/8th the size of an SC

Point #3: Agreed, at the same time not realizing that they probably paid more for their Del Sol than you did for your SC.

LOL! So true! I was just going to add that myself except

"If the gf complains that your doors are too heavy and hard to close."

Funny, not one of those things has ever happened to me...I have been asked if it was a Jag...or better yet, the replacement for the SC430...

You've banged your head multiple times getting things out of your trunk.

People have commented on your nice "240sx"

Your gauges are useless at night because your needles are burnt out.

Ricers ask you if you have a "2jz" to which you reply yes (sc300 guys) and they start freaking out thinking its the GTE.



Next poster continues.

$35 you cheap *****! LOL

On the 97 conversion, I believe I spent right at $800, it will be $1,050 when I am done.

The Sc shares a similar front end with the del sol, and a similar rear with the 240

But I don't regret it at all...worth every penny....
