Default I've crossed over to the dark side. Picked up a 97 SC3.

I only call it the dark side cause I've had a GS for so long. Nothing special really. I Sold my 97 hatch that was my daily and wanted something with more creature comforts. My hatch didn't have power anyting. I got a real good deal on this and decided to just jump on it since I've always liked the SC body lines. Its a Blk on tan 97 SC300. 160k. Auto. Needs some TLC. Body had a few dings, the Paint is faded here and there, the rear bumper has a crack in it, and the interior seats are pretty bad but it runs real good. AC is Cold and all the power stuff works so Its an upgrade from the Hatch in my book.

No immediate plans for it except my 18x8 18x10 bsf's once I get them painted silver instead of the ugly gold color they came in. Some springs and just get her a tune up next week.

Future plans are to have her sprayed White or Silver ( I want an easy maintenance color) Some nice 19's, Supra bbk, and have Grip throw a 1Jz in there for me and just enjoy her around town as my daily.

Here are some pics, nothing special just a stock 97 sc3.

Thanx guys. I honestly don't have big plans for this car but looking around this section and seeing what you guys have done is mind blowing. I really want blk interior but I'm not sure if I should go through the pain of converting tan to blk again like I did with my GS. I've thought about painting it Spectra blue to match the GS but I honestly just want to have something that is easy to maintain clean without a lot of work since its going to be my daily. I have plenty of time to think about it and get your opinions as I don't plan on doing any of this anytime soon. I still want to finish off the GS.

I'm going to have some Q's but I'll do plenty of searching before I ask

Welcome!! Always loved your GS, i'm sure you'll get the bug and do more than just keep this SC "simple"...
