new to the lexus world.
whats up guys, just picked up my 95 SC300 last week. so far it has a lightly modified 1JZ, intercooler, megan turboback and 32 way adjustable suspension.
the car needs a bit of work, mainly paint and a few interior pieces. also the headlight are looking pretty foggy and hazy. im planning on doing a single turbo upgrade and few subtle body upgrades, i.e. front bumper/lip, sideskirts etc...
im coming from years in the BMW world, so this is my first 'import'. Compared to an M3, there really doesnt seem to be as many aftermarket parts available for this car, but maybe im just not looking in the right place. If you guys know of some good websites to get aftermarket interior/exterior parts and lights from, that'd be awesome.
here she is, any helpful pointers would be appreciated.

Welcome. The Sc feels like a boat anchor compared to the M3, but that engine makes up for it. 
I just miss the responsiveness of my BMW more than anything. A little more exciting.

lol, unfortunately it cant teach me. but im sure we'll figure it out after a few track days 
150K on the chassis, ~55K on the 1JZ-GTE. it also has the soarer auto tranny, no interior pics yet, but tis all stock except for a boost gauge.
+1. i love the extra power the SC has, but even with 32 way adjustable suspension, it still doesnt handle as well as my M did, even way back when it was stock. but it'll make for some fun autox events!
