I suggest taking care of any ignored maintenance if any, and since it needs tires getting I nice set of aftermarket wheels & new tires or some good looking OEM TT or Lexus wheels. And drop it while you’re at it good find blk/blk SC!

save for some nice quality rims/good fitment and a healthy (2-3") drop. It makes the most dramatic difference if you can pull it off right.

What would you suggest for a 175k sc400 maintenance. If the car runs great and problem free the first thing i would do is probably get it painted but before that i need to get that tire change!! Might blow up in the high way on my road trip to OHio!!

replace all fluids, plugs, wires, caps/rotors, make sure the timing belt is new because it's probably about time for one, then some wheels and a drop.

I appreciate your guys fast responese and help. This would give me a very clear idea on what i should do first before i even think about trying to hook it up. My first thing i would worried about is to make sure everything that needs to be replace should be done before the trip. I think i should take to the shop to see if anything needs done.

By the way, anyone know where i can get a package deal for tires and rims ? for a very resonable price just for temp with at least a decent look.

ALL LINKS ARE WLECOME!.

nice, please don't get VIP style mixed up with DUB and those knock off wannabe rims. I mean, you say you wanna do it...do it right. nice and classy.

My rims aren't here yet but you can bet your sweet a$$ they'll be wide, aggressive (think negative offsets) and I'll be sitting lowlow on air~

If you want more info, you can PM me...
