I just stumbled across this, awesomeness. More magazine exposure for our beloved SCs.......

is anyone on here responsible for building this beast?? hmm?

 

Woah! Nice. Well, if the owner, or previous owner of the car is on here, PLEASE, inform us on your swap, as that car is a 1999, with a 1jz/r154.

 

nice looking singled 1jay in tha bay

 

This must be a SFL member car, 99 SC with 1JZ!!

 

Super clean

 

yeah that is a clean looking 1JZ, does anyone know if the car was green before? I only ask because I can seen a green tone just below the intercooler.

 

im pretty sure the whole car is a dark green.

 

Pure sexy. Absolutely nice!

 

I think it belongs to Cody. I believe he owns S3 mag. He was looking at picking up an SC. We talked about him getting mine.

 

Clean, I want one now hah

 

Hey, cool to see you guys found our post!

I'm Cody, the art director/co-owner of S3 from Atlanta. I just picked up the car last week (traded my built S13 plus some cash for the SC). The car is black and has always been that way (the green is just a bit of lens flare from the photo). I believe it was originally owned by someone from Tennessee who had Titan do most of the work (I think), then a local guy from Atlanta (Stephen) purchased the car and later traded to me. I feel kinda lazy getting a car already built but couldn't really turn down the offer to get a car done this nicely.

Enjoying Lexus ownership so far though, and can't wait to do a few of my own touches to this car! Had a number of 240's over the years (professionally drifted for a few years but that's kinda slowed down), but wanted something a bit more refined and better for an all around street car. Planning on a few simple mods (coilovers, wheels, lip/simple aero) for now but other than that, I'm pretty content with the way it is now.

And for those curious, it ihas a 1J w/R154, Precision 67mm turbo, MAP2 ECU, OS Giken twin plate clutch, huge FMIC, and a bunch of other stuff. The previous owner made 474hp at 17psi (or so I was told) and it's currently running 20psi and should be right around 500hp. Plenty fast for me .

Keep an eye on our blog (s3mag.com) / facebook page (facebook.com/s3mag) for updates!

 

Cody, awesome pick up dude.

cant wait to see what you do with it in the future..

 

That's a clean SC!

 

Wish you woulda bought mine :-P
It's not as clean though. Luckily Joe did a good job w/ the photos he took for me.

GL w/ the project.
