Default Greetings and Salutations

I come to you all from the Evo community. Im a 29 yr old professional mechanic so I will be modding this as time goes on. The evo community is... well... full of snobs. i say that with a bit of shame for them, mostly due to the fact when I told most of my "friends" about buying an SC they laughed and said they were lame. I had an Evo, and even in stock trim I like the SC better than the Evo.

I am picking mine up from the owner today after it being detailed and what not. I already like this forum and the info it contains.

Yeah, I love both cars, and both can be amazing in their own right but I don't think they are comparable.

Enjoy the smooth, subtle luxury qualities of your SC and you'll never look back!



I hope you don't miss the EVO's handling, cuz no matter what you do to the SC it will never handle like that.

Why did you get rid of it?

I havent had it for several years. that car was bad luck for me. I got it up to 430 awhp and drove the **** out of it and I kept getting hit in it... minding my own business. it was nearly totalled the first time i got sideswiped and then i got rear ended at a stop light. I let them total it the second time and never looked back. Ive been into Vw's for a long time too so I had several MkII Gti's and its not even the same comparison. Ive always wanted an SC and I know the potential they have. Im about to leave to go get it now. Im pretty stoked. I got it for 4k and it only has 129k on it. Leather is clean and body is really straight except for one little dent in the driver side rear.

I guess I lucked out, all the Supra owners I know are quite nice and humble.

The 1 Supra owner I know is the most humble guy in the world lol. But on the forum world I guess there are tons of elitists. Who know.s

Well that was just an ignorant thing to say!

Our car's have a gas tank over the rear suspension, with the right mods these cars will handle like a beast. The suspension setup is great from the factory, it's just made for luxury. I can already keep up with most of my friends that have full coil overs, etc and all I have are a set of dinky Megan racing coil overs and some upgraded bushings. I can't wait to finish the rest up in the next month.
