Default Thought I'd do the same and post pics of my sc

Well it looks like everyone else is posting pics of their cars so I thought I would. It's a 92 300 that I got a month or so ago, but i've been a member on here for a couple of years. Since then i've added Supra tt wheels, tt brakes, jdm rain guards, black pearl emblems, front lip, daizen bushings up front. I'll soon have coilovers, i've got a 1jz to drop in. Other future plans are a steering wheel upgrade, new leather seats, 97+ front bumper, tail lights and that's about it for now.

Thanks

D@mn chipped front bumper!!

Looks good, auto or manual? Coilovers will give it the look we all strive for, if you keep it go with the staggered rim setup.

Yeah I can't wait to get my coilovers, it'll look much better. It's an auto I don't know when I'll be able to get another set of wheels, but I know they'll be staggered 18's.

You have your rear tires mounted reversed side to side. Check the tire rotation arrows on the tire sidewalls. Your tire performance through rain and water is going to suffer.

Didn't even realize that, nor did think about it when I put them on. Man I feel like an idiot. Thanks for pointing that out swampfox.

Don't sweat it, for a short time it makes no difference unless you are driving through heavy water at high speed. You can check out the Tire Rack's web site - they have tested them both ways and it made almost no difference.

looks good man. specially when you start with the suspension.

one question though. what are the size of those tires? the sidewall looks pretty big.

its just the angle of the pic , the front wheels are slightly turned to the right in the 1st pic .
The car looks great , we just need to slam it , and you'll be set!

He's running TT rims, therefore he already is running a staggered setup.
