This is my post of what I'm missing out on.. Post any of your good lexus finds from craigslist here!!



I had to go buy my effin sc400 at a car dealership for $4600 where if I could have just waited a month I could have gotten this!!! (but then I'd have to learn to drive standard)

2 door coupe. 5 spd, fully loaded. Black/tan leather. 16" BBS wheels, new tires. 2jz inline 6cyl engine (same as toyota supra). Just inspected. High miles, awesome shape

 

well Just found an 88 toyota supra parts car for $500 and found this 7mgte supra engine - $500. Could they be fitted into an sc400?

 

steelership

 

Somebody on this forum bought that car already I believe.

1. you're comparing two different cars: sc400 vs SC300.

2. was your car new-er, had less miles, in better condition?
you have to take those things into consideration too..

 

7mgte, not worth it. Better off boosting a 2jz or finding a 1jz

 

^if he's talking about $500, boosting is nowhere bear that budget

 

if you have a smartphone, use the app "craigsphone" so everytime the keyword pop out on craigslist, you'll be the first one to know.

 

to get any good power out of a 7mgte you will need to dump some decent money into, plus the cost of the swap. Better off boosting an sc300.

 

still cant boost an sc300 with $500

 

LOL, ok ok, thats true, but you wont have a 7mgte in your sc and running for $500 either.

 

i agree with that, since SCs never came with a 7M

 

over here too, there have been a lot of SC's for sale lately on craigslist.. not sure why either

 

I wish we had more for sale around here. We get one clean, low mileage SC on Craigslist/Autotrader once every 4 or so months. Aside from my car, there were only two decent SC's for sale last year, and one this year.

 

mine was 136k miles.. and is in the same condition as when I bough it - the center consol things broke, the climate control does funny things.. and it has a very bad pull to the passenger side adn needs front brake pads bad.. im just at 140,600 miles now and 600 miles past due on oil change :/ why does it have to cost 50$ for an oil change? lol

Ok.. so what is the difference between sc400 and sc300?

I have mechanic friends who help me work on my car so labor is minimum to none. and since i need to replace my cats, what is the best for HP boost and to get that thick muscle sound? I was looking to replace the whole exhaust system - what would I need altogether to achieve this? If I can't afford to do it all at once, what would be the most important in the exhaust system to the least to replace in this project? I want to keep the dual exhaust and I want to downpipe it.

My goal is to get this out of my car:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1fwKQPBNdE
