Default My 1997 Lexus SC300

Sup guys,

I dont really post much about my own personal car here but today was such a beautiful day that i thought what the hell and snaped a few pics my Lexus. I have been working on this car for just about a year now, and after 2 motors, 3 transmissions, and 3 driveshafts later, along with the help of a few friends, the car is finally road worthy and not just a jackstand baller. Let me know what you guys think. Any advice or comments are appreciated.

Zeeshaun

**Sorry for the huge pics, i dont know how to resize them

thanks! well i would like to daily this car so for 2010 i might just go the BPU route. as of now im running a jspec GTE motor with USDM Cams and Turbos in TTC mode. I also have a Greddy BCC and a Megan 3 inch Supra TT downpipe and temporarily it bolted up to my stock exhaust (college tuition has drained me financially). First i would like to work on my wheels and suspension then move on to performance. I was thinking something low profile (i have bad luck with Police) like TT polished wheels or maybe some of those 5zigen Fno1r-c (oor whatever you call them.

thanks, im glad you noticed the color. it is NOT an oem Lexus color, its acually 2006 Infiniti G35 Lazer Red, pics dont do it justice. In the sun, its just beautiful.

Sweet ride, I was excited for a minute, I thought we were going to add another swapped GTE to the 120 club, but your ride is not oem 5spd. Still sweet car and deff road worthy.

lol thanks, yeah i wish this car was an original 5 speed too...i dont know how many ppl have ever converted from auto to manual on a SC but the scariest part of the ENTIRE swap process was drilling the firewall for the clutch master cylinder...holy crap...i was laying upside down with my head by the the gas pedal and my legs resting by the headrest with a wicked *** drill shooting crazy sparks while i was cutting a 3 inch hole in the firewall...def not an ergonomic process...
