Default Pictures of my Supra, TL-Aspec, and 92 SC400

Here are a couple pictures of the mint dark green and tan 92 SC400 that my dad has owned since early 1996. We bought it with just under 70K miles on it and it just now hit 103K. I will hopefully be selling this 92 SC400 to someone on this forum or I'll just list it on e-bay or autotrader. I recently purchased a black on black 98 SC400 with just under 97K on it for him. He has not seen it yet. I am currently having it completely repainted and am thinking about having the seats re-done with a perforated leather kit to make it as new as it could ever look. I also included a few pictures of my daily driver an 05 TL A-spec 6spd with navi and a few comptech & fujita mods. My pride and joy is the 98 Supra T.T. 6spd, targa with several tasteful mods, yet I still haven't taken the plunge into single turbo territory. Enjoy!!

Thanks. I love these Fikse. I went with the 18X11 rears with 295/30/18 tires and the 18X10 fronts with 265/35/18 tires. The wheels I bought for my dad's 92 SC400 in the picture are 18X8.5 MOMO's with 245/45/18 Dunlop SP 9000 tires. I wanted to go staggered but I knew it was for my dad, and that he would want to rotate them. I purchased the wheels and tires brand new last year for him and was really worried about the tires being being too tall. They have yet to rub even with three people in the car. The shop was going out of business and sold me the new set of rims and mounted tires. The owner also threw in a brand new set of 245/45/18 Michelin Pilot Sports. I wish they were the correct 245/40/18 but hell they were included free of charge. Thanks for all the kind words. This was the first foreign car that my parents have ever owned big upgrade from his 96 taurus. Earlier last year I got my mom out of her 00 grand am gt and into a black on black mint condition 2003 BMW 530iA sport with only 19K miles on it and full maintenance and CPO coverage through May of 2009. I was trying to decide between a late model SC400 or a 2003 BMW 540iA sport. I decided that the 98 SC400 for considerably less money was the better fit for them. You just can't beat Lexus quality. He gets more compliments on that mint 92 SC400. I am going through the trouble and expense of having the 98 SC400 re-painted. This car has to look better than his old 92 SC400 by the time I am ready to give it to him.

This 92 will be sold with the original 16X7 chrome 10 spoke wheels. It is loaded-heated seats, traction control, OEM center console phone, but no Nakamichi. Notice the antenna on the rear windshield? I was scared to remove it. Thought I might damage the rear window. Three months ago I disobeyed my father and took it upon myself to remove all of his prized OLD GOLD emblems, exhaust pipes, and antenna grommet and I replaced them with all new chrome pieces. He loved it. The car came without a spoiler when I bought it for him in 96 and I waited until 98 to put the current OEM spoiler on it. I have not decided on a price yet. The car in the last 3000 miles has had the following items installed: new brake and power steering fluid, brake pads and rotors, serpentine belt, lifetime alternator, 8 year battery, OEM platinum NGK plugs. Under 10K miles ago, the stealership replaced all four 02 sensors as well as putting on 4 Goodyear Eagle GT tires. This car has always had been maintained with a LIFETIME balance, rotation and alignment. This is my father's weekend car that he drives from Chicago to Milwaukee to play golf and visit relatives. It has always been garage kept at home and in the parking structure at work. He has recently retired and is mainly driving my mom's BMW. He still considers this 92 the "GOOD CAR" so it spends the majority of the time sitting in the garage freshly waxed and detailed.

Here are a few more pictures of my TL I put some 255/40/18 Yokohama Advan Sport tires and I just love the way it rides and handles on these horrible MI roads. This is my wife's black on black 06 MDX Touring model with Navigation and entertainment package. The Acura Legend I should have never sold. My milano red 95 Legend LS 6 speed with a Remus exhaust and several other upgrades. Wish I never let that one go. I always said I only liked silver cars and would never buy another red one. The last 6 cars that I have bought have all been Black. My supra is on stock springs, the roads are just too damn unforgiving in this state.
