Tonight's drive home was the best driving experience of my life. Every thing on the car works perfectly. It rides smooth, is extremely responsive, has WAY more pull than my auto sc300, and I am finding lights in the car that I never knew existed!

Mainly that stuff hasnt been replaced yet. Timing belt, p/s, water pump, etc.
Also remember this just because a car is low millage doesn't mean mechanically its in the same condition as a new car with equal mileage. Your seals, bearings, bushings, suspension etc. are still gonna be old. If i have learned anything from cars its your better off having a new year higher mileage then an old year low mileage.
Interesting, your car has mud flaps while mine doesnt. You posted a pic of your wood grain, are all 3 pieces matching colors? For me my middle piece is discolored. Also did your car come with heated seats?
P.S. upgrade to 97+ tails, they are the most dramatic improvement you can make.

Also, I don't think there is a "newer" SC on the market right now with eqal mileage, and even if there is, it's not a 5spd
p.s. Yes it has heated seats AND a car phone!!!!
okay...good job? 
,Anyway nice car man, you finally found one. It's neat how different a car SC's are when they are manual.

i've had a stock sc3 auto, a 1jz auto, and now a sc3 5spd
and i definetly agree it changes the whole feel of the car, i've also had a tan interior and black interior, and it is the same thing the car seems very different with a black interior..
