3rd time's a charm
Well i'm back in the SC community, hopefully for a good while this time
it seems like everytime i buy a SC i sink of bunch of money into it, get it about where i want it and end up selling it!
my first one, bought from a nice lady for 3200 bucks bone stock, did a 1jz swap, wheels, coilovers, newer mint seats and other misc things i think i owned it for 6 months and sold it to get something more practical
sales ad when i bought it, drove from SC to Nashville TN to get it
as i sold it, 1jz'd, Saleen'd, Tein'd lol
two weeks later my SC addiction is killing me, i bought HKSSC300's old SC, 95 black interior 5 speed, few nice mods but in dire need of TLC! all the classic SC300 common issues had to be fixed and more
alooooot of money later i had her looking like this, then i decided to sell it when i found out i had a baby on the way
picked up a GS430 for awhile, loved it to death but i missed my SC's so much, financial situation got better so i bought a 03 camry SE for the baby mobile and sold the GS430 to get another SC
I didn't go very far for my new one, and i know it about as well as the previous owner, ended up picking up my roommates 97 RSP NA-T car, We worked out a good deal with eachother so he could move onto his Corvette and i could get his car without breaking my bank and he has the peace of mind knowing it's in safe hands.
so here's my new SC, i plan on keeping it longer then the others
1997 RSP black interior NA-T, this car is in such great condition it just blows me away, i thought my last two where in great shape but this car feels new still.
\
sorry for all the pics, most people like pics in threads anyways so there you go, my SC history up until now. Don't have a whole lot planned in the near future for the RSP car, already bought a 99 GS300 3spoke wheel for it, after having it in my last car it's a MUST. maybe some spacers for the TT wheels for now, hopefully a manual swap next year and maybe some CCW's or something..
Glad to be back

lol yeah
thanks man,
Boostwerx.com turbo kit...
Precision T-61 Turbo
Dave H manifold (header wrapped)
Dave H down pipe/mid pipe (header wrapped)
Tial 38mm waste gate
Manual boost controller
Custom oil lines
Universal FMIC/piping
HKS SSQV blow off valve
Custom 3" exhaust
APEXi N1 muffler
AEM F/IC
TT Supra Denso fuel pump
Token solutions o2 sim
Prosport "stepper" Boost gauge
LS400 slotted brakes up front
Supra TT slotted brakes in rear
D2 Coilovers
hp is only about 240-50ish estimating right now, it's untuned so only at 4psi, i'm taking it up to RLZ to get it tuned to 9-10 psi soon then i'll post a dyno with #'s, it's suprisingly quick at 4psi and will go side by side with a 00 mustang gt 5 speed with bolt ons, which isn't bad for a auto SC300 on 4psi. Hoping to make 320-350whp after tune
thanks man, glad to be back! i definetly need to keep this one, there really isn't any other car under 20k that makes me as happy, i love'em
