Default Yes! Its Confirmed!

YEAH! my dream car i always wanted. im getting my sc300 in 1 week. its going to be my daily driver and have a little fun with it on the weekends. its a 1993 sc300 with about 42k miles, auto. i want a 5spd but couldnt find one. so i think probably one of my first mods is Converting it to a 5spd and im going to work on mods from there. how much would you guys think it would cost for a 5spd swap. i have about 600$ saved up. and like 150 in my wallet and still getting money when i get paid from work and when i hustle people in basketball and pool and sell candy and other good around school haha. im 16. but been driving illegally since i was 15 any suggestions would freely be accepted. thanks.

Congrats on getting your dream car ! I am guessing 5spd swap would be around 1100 without labor.

Ill have a good 5 speed tranny available (w58) in the next couple of months. Has a new clutch in it too.

Thats funny, ...you sell candy and hustle games. Sounds like me, in high school. Some people call what I sold, ...candy

Congrats on getting a SC. You made a good decision! Post some pics when you get it.

That's a heck of a first car.

My first car I had to build. LOL. I would have done it anyway since I was a lowrider truck guy, but still I couldn't afford to buy one and had to build it.

Good luck with the catback. they don't really make a cat for our cars best bet is to just get custom piping and some mufflers slapped on. that's what i did... i have a link in my sig for sound and magnaflow 14829 mufflers. basically just had my resonators deleted and then the mufflers though. Sounds good imo.

Was the driver seat replaced? For only 42k miles the seat is in really poor condition. Congrats on the car though!
