im in the okc area. there arent many clean scs out here. mostly generic wheels. plenty of 92-96s but rarely any 97+ like mine, so get a lot of stares. haha

I dont like the steering wheel. I had a navy blue SC back in 02 that I painted that same color. Im not crazy about the wheels but overall nice piece.

Tres

I'm a die hard diamond pearl guy, but damn if I ever wanted a blue SC that would be it. Super nice work. My F/A-18C is the only way I'll ever catch you. Dyno's at roughly 36,000lb/ft in blower. Gas bill is a ***** though. My uncle sam helps out.

I'm building up a GTE right now and was wondering what you did for engine management/wiring harness. You've got a respectable build and I've seen some half-baked swap ideas out there. Sorry if you've listed that info already, but I read most of the thread.

Enjoy.

I know what you mean. I hardly ever see any SCs here in Tulsa which is funny because the other day I saw 2 black on black 97+ SCs within 30 seconds of eachother. Both driven by older people. I'm still amazed at how well the SC has kept up with the looks of the most modern cars on the road.

I wish I would have documented the build a little better. I didnt get a single picture of anything during the process. I didnt think I needed any pictures because I was doing all the work but now that I think about it, I really wish I would have taken the time to snap a pic or two

BTW, hows that engine treating you? I still havent fixed that light we broke. LOL
