TY...the more I read posts/replies in this place, the more I love japan. There is a percentage of people in here who make it their business to point out any and everything about a person/car/situation, etc. The fact of the matter is, the people that are so immature on here tend to be the ones with a stock SC300 with some wheels and some audio. That wont win you a car show anywhere in the world. They are also stock performance-wise. That wont win you a race anywhere in the world. Basically, these people are worthless. They need to get off the mindset that owning a SC300 elevates you about the rest of the auto world. Sorry, just ranting. I've been around nearly every car scene possible, and for the most part, idiot americans like the ones I mentioned are the worst.

Yeah, it's a common misconception about some stuff though. Used and stock type parts are super cheap, but some new parts are actually cheaper in the states. I'm trying to learn everything I can about the V pro system so maybe I might be able to tune on my own by time I go back to the states. I'm bring back a small army in car parts when I leave. So far I have around 6 turbos, 4 sets of wheels, a 2jz, a sr20, a couple transmissions, a ton of electronics and other crap.

Well i've been reading around this forum for some time, and it seems to me that greater percentage of the owners on here are only worried about 1 thing. Looks. I would even go so far as to say that I've seen people on here that think the sc300 is better than most cars because it's a lexus. I own 7 cars right now, 4 of which are pre 72 chevy's. I'm all about function over form. The people that tend to be the most nit-picky about a cars appearance have cars that that aren't much at all...

So since YOU think its a luxury car it is? and he is barking up the wrong tree by defending himself and his pov?
That doesn't fly with me.
Its like mk IV supra owners who think they own supercars.
SCs are as much luxury cars as the owners want them to be...
BTW, the car is bad. I wouldnt care for the hood if I didn't know the car was fast, but then again, what else is one to assume when you see a fatty front mount and the ghetto fabbed air scoop. The car is awesome. Props.

I have it because my intake is in the corner of my underhood area. I mean pushed up against the body of the car. It has next to no air circulation there. Function over form my friend. Although I appreciate having a show quality car, this is not it. This is a drag/track car. I have other cars for looking good and not going fast.
WORD to that man! function over form. nice car

I appreciate it...I used to be like them though. I would flame people over the smallest things too. Then one day i matured car-wise and adopted a live and let live style. If someone mods a car to THEIR taste, more power too them. I no long look down on so called "ricers". They are just expressing themselves in the only way they know how to WITH limited knowledge. I know we've ALL done ricer mods. When i was 18 with my 84 camaro, i put in those autozone blue seat covers, floor mats and steering wheel. It looked HIDEOUS...lol
