Lately I've been working with this new car, I got it on craigslist about a month ago, posted a thread with like 1 pic, well now I have a new phone with a 5 mega pixel camera that automaticly uploads the pics I take to photobucket, so no more being lazy when it comes to pics! When I got the car, it severely needed a cleaning, after using heavy duty degrease on just about everything (seats, carpet, just about everything) the car was finally all cleaned up, ready for the reason why it was 800$ to be fixed, the trans!
After 5 days of battling that heavy *** trans, me and my pops got it in, and all hooked up. This was our first big car thing, biggest thing I've ever done was valve cover gaskets, so it was a step up! Theres still some issues (A ****TON OF ISSUES) to deal with, but it's a pretty good car.
Here's the car waiting for the trans to arrive, took a LONG time, seller had family issues, understandable.
1uz pretty much all stock, the serpentine belt is quite old, but it seems like the timing belt is about a year old.
Hella flush?
some day..
cleaned interior, still needs alot of work.
3 days after we started, the old trans is out!
popped in a new rear main seal, just in case.
vacant spot where my 1jz car used to be.. I'm jones'in a boosted car baaad.
THE FLIES! they were SO bad, had to use bug spray to keep them off my legs while I was under the car, nothing more annoying!
pops under the car, just put the new trans in and started bolting **** up
Some pics I took after I got the car running:
Thanks for checking it out.

maybe..Thanks for the comments guys, I love how SC's look, but I just can't go with out a turbo car, right now I'm fumbling between 3 options, option 1: remote mount kit, option 2: sell this car and buy something else (I.E ls1 trans am, another boosted SC, ect..) and option 3: keep the sc400 and buy a sr20 s13 240sx. I like option 3 the best, but selling the idea to my mother, who doesn't really want a driveway full of cars, is going to be hard.

Ja ja i found you, how is it going, I will be getting some megan coil for the sc300, I am florida now but will coming back tomorrow and get the car ready to bring it, so far car runs great and reach je je, I will probably will do I dyno to see how is doing and fix the AC, the sc400 looks good you should do the turbo on the back i think it will be cheaper. I will keep you updated on the progress and probably will buy another 1jz as a spear here they have some good deals.
