My factory 5speed sc300 is relatively new to me and has undergone a lot of maintenance and improvements (purchased off of a young kid for $2500). The clutch let go on me on the way to my buddy's shop this weekend en route to swap the clutch for an ACT Street/Strip unit, lightened Comp flywheel, and also replaced the rear main, all bearings, and slave at the same time. Turns out it was already on it's second clutch, and had a no-name korean unit installed.
Current mods: Eibach springs w/supra kyb's, Enkei RPF1 (18x10's all the way around), BFI mod, single 3" custom exhaust, and small tidbits throughout.

Beautiful ride! I'm glad you got that cheap clutch out of there. Good lesson for everyone to stay away from those cheap ebay clutches.
Thank you for the compliment! It was unsettling to have it happen while driving, but got lucky hitting mostly green lights on the way to my friends shop. Driving without the clutch isn't terrible until you have to come to the stop...
After putting 100 miles on the ACT/Comp combo I'm really enjoying it. The pedal is softening up some and is becoming more pleasant to drive every day.
Kaaz 2way is next on the list, once that shows up I'll post some pictures.
245's on the front and 255's on the rear. However, I wish I would have gone up to 255's and 265's as I've got more room after the fender roll. They fit nicely and never rub.

Did the 245 and 255 fit without rubbing before you rolled the fenders?
Installed a new heater valve and bleed the cooling system last night (probably wasn't necessary). It'll be nice to drive the SC at night while being able to defrost my windows instead of rolling the windows down. lol
Yes Sir!! Don’t want to mess with the black one yet until I finish the red one, then sell it and start my 2jz single swap
I hardly drove it around before rolling the fenders, but I don't think it would have at my ride height (but don't quote me on that).
I didn't think it would. It's been so long since I had stock fenders that I'm trying to remember what size wheel and tire combo would clear the oem fenders.
I'm running a similar spec to yours 18x10 +40 with 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rears. I still have plenty of space.

I'm running a similar setup but with a slightly lower offset. Would a 265/35 fit with rolled stock fenders?
