Default New to SC300 Comunity...

Hey everyone! i just got my first 95 SC300 yesterday after months of looking for a perfect one. i have been saving for quite some time now so i can build it the way i want. I purchased this one in Mint Condition with no tears period on the interior and the exterior is still a mint condition pearl white. all maintenance records from date of purchase came with the car. it is an immaculate 1 owner car.

Anyway if i can get any imput on what people think i should start doing that would be great! Thanks!!

My plans are:

-Brembro brake rotors and pads
-Front Lip (i think its called wise lip or something)
-Rear Lip (v speed)
-Tein coilovers
-Custom exhaust (im making 3" from headers back with HKS dragger mufflers)
-Custom intake
-Nice set of wheels


Thats where i want to start.


Then i want to get installed by a local shop.

-1jz soarer motor with 5 speed trans conversion
-soarer or supraTT LSD.

but if you all can maybe direct me any direction that would be awesome. any advice or comments would be sick.

oh ya i forgot the side skirts haha def. them too.

Thanks guys ill keep ya updated.

what do you all think about the wheels on the car now? i dont hate them but i also dont love them.. it needs new tires but new tires run 300 to 400 and im thinking i could just put that 300 to 400 towards a set of rims and rubber that i actually love. what do you all think?

Yea the wheels are not bad but you can get some that you really want. Sell those and save up some extra cash for the set you really want. Welcome to CL and take good care of her. Looks real clean. DWP FTW.

UPDATE:
-Took off the front plate
-Changed the oil

Thanks for the comments and the wheel suggestions.

i can post more pics if you guys want? Is there a section on these forums for posting pics?

I have another question.. which mod should i go for first? i already know i'm getting new wheels and have Brembro rotors on the way but what should be the next couple mods?? im interested to see what you all think...
