okay i want to buy the sc300 not really feeling the v8 sc400 i like more of the mods that u can buy for the 300 but my questions is i can only find auto transmission sc300 is it worth the buy if i want to trick it out? i know u can make it into a 5speed manual but is it hard to find the tranny? and im still confused on the 1jz swap form the soarer is that better than keeping the original 2jz engine with a turbo? any info would help and tips on buy a car thanks oh and i want the car to be a daily driver but still be able to go fast not a total gear thanks

best thing to do is search..but taste between the 1j and stock 2j or a 2j-gte swap all comes down to personal choice. the stock auto in the SC can handle enough power to have a reliable daily driver..but use the search function, do some good reading and you will have all your questions answered within 20 minutes or less..good luck

5 speed swap will cost you anywhere from 1200-2000 from what i've read...
and decide if your buying a 97+ ones with the updated side skirts and bumpers, i think it looks nice but you can also buy a cheap one so you have more money to do the mods yourself =)
