My first Lexus SC400.
Fist off hello CL members, My names Adrian from Riverside, CA.
I just picked up a 93 SC400 on Friday for mere peanuts due to the fact that the prior owners thought that the transmission needed replaced! Not the truth folks!!
It was the spider gears in the differential that were causing all the problems. It was a mess in there I tell ya. So this morning I got up early headed up to a local import dismantler to source a fresh rear end. 2 hours later I am running and driving my first Lexus....and I LOVE IT! I have only owned large american cars/trucks and this is by far my favorite car in my 17 years of driving!
Here are a few pics of her.

Thanks everyone! Yep it looks like the Kaminari kit is what it is. I dont know much SC history so if there is something on the car that isnt usually there I am not quick to pick up on it like you guys. The V8 emblems are one of those things. They look like Tundra V8 emblems to me and hell ....lol I thought they were factory

I'm starting to compile a short list of things I am looking to replace.
Headlights (they are both foggy and the driver side stays moist inside all the time)
Shifter ****? (did they make a leather wrap for that thing? the rubber one I have is beat to crap)
Ashtray(I have an Apexi AFC where I would assume an ashtray with a cig lighter would go, I dont smoke but need the cig lighter for my cell phone)
Trunk panels/carpeting, spare tire, jack and accy's)
Other than that I love the car and its a blast to drive!
