Default Since everyones doing it... my sc300 with pics.

Hey everyone, I've been lurking the forums for a while and I just made my purchase yesterday, after hounding the classifieds and ads for the color and trim I wanted. It's a 92 black 300 with 177k with a very clean body. The only problem was the drivers side window switch doesn't work for the passenger side, and the driver side headlight is leaking water and gets foggy.




As far as modifying the car goes, when my budget permits.. I hope to either build the current motor or perform a swap. I'm still learning about the different options. Not to turn this into a na-t vs gte thread, I'm definitely interested in a bang-for-the-buck comparison. I read that 2jzgte swaps would take away the p/s?

I might get supra coilovers which I learned interchange with the stock shock/spring, as well as some sort of diff upgrade. As for now, it's going to be my commuter car.

This is the car I've been working on and driving and everything, and I still have it and it's awesome. Definitely not as luxurious of a ride as my lex. Nissan 240sx, with rebuilt motor and extensive suspension upgrades (too lazy to list)




Thanks!

He wasn't too flexible on his price, but I think it was a good deal nonetheless. He had a huge bag of maintenence reciepts, runs like a champ, and had leather seat covers over his immaculate leather seats. (redundant?)

Luckily for me, he posted it last month and I contacts him, but he couldnt find the papers. So he took it off and when he did find them, he contacted me first. Thanks for the welcomes
