Value wise it is worth it, but I cannot see someone with a perfectly clean 2000 SC daily trading it for a half stripped drift car. I mean don't get me wrong it can happen.... I just can't think of who would. Your car has tons of value ...... in pieces. Surely as much as a 2000 Sc, but package for package your car is best piece by piece if you do get rid of it. I have a V-8, auto tranny, full harness and ecu you could swap in that car to sell it. I mean complete, I even have the body harness if anything is cut. We could turn that into an SC4 in about a day.

i think you flip cars faster than i do =P I normally buy and sell ... rebuy cars in a 6month period when i get bored.. but based on your signature you probly flipped more than i have in a smaller period of time. good luck looking for a 98-2000 sc400... im looking for one also, i would keep your 6sp tho.

Come to think of it even though I have sunk a grip of change into my IS300 like most IS owners, you could find a trade on one of those as well if you want to build a really fun car to drift because ten was the price of my IS the day I bought it. (high book was $13k)

The 5 speed IS300's only hold 300hp before the tranny goes boom. Since the swap is going to happen anyway, most buy the auto which can hold 400hp and drive it on medium boost while building themselves a nice tranny. Nobody boosted runs the stock 5 speed tranny, it won't hold any boost. Since 5 speed cars command a premium it's cheaper to buy an auto and build the tranny like you are going to do anyway.
Yeah that pic was the day I found the car. Bought it the next morning.
