Couple years ago bought it used from a member on the Facebook SC pages. Apparently it came with the SC he purchased and he did not use it and put it up for sale. I quickly grabbed it because these are sooooo hard to find.

That’s really good to know. I never knew that.

Installed more of my black interior. Having no passenger seat has made the car so much more useful. I can throw everything on the floor. lol



Had to kick the SC out of the garage for a couple days while I work on other projects

I washed the SC and threw a coat of spray wax on it. It’s so shiny now.

I'm pretty sure the only way I'm parting ways with this car is if it gets totaled.


Besides, I have too much sunken into this car that you'd have to be crazy to pay my asking price. lol

Be careful what you say. That happened to my 2000 SC300. I am still sad about it.

Pulled engine. Change out gaskets. Tune up.

Next up. New wheels.
Next after that? Aftermarket radio.
More to come.

I would be sad for sure, but cars are replaceable (to some extent).

I already told you in the FB groups how I felt about you listing this car up for sale.

[QUOTE=Duck05;10801556]The speed shop that installed the Tein coils on my car advised to set the rear adjustments 2/3 of what the fronts you select. Mine are sixteen way so presently the fronts are set at “12” with the rears at “8”. These settings handled better for me than making all 4 corners the same. Just sharing....[/QUOTE

I can use this, thanks for sharing. I've been fiddling with my Tein Flex Z's on my '93' SC, still playing with them to get the right feel. I had them set out the box at "8" all the way around, then "8" in front, "10" in the rear. Roads are hell here in Hawaii so I'm trying to strike a balance. I've got "18" wheels all around, I was running 225 x 40's, needed a better ride on these roads, so I just recently went to 225 x 45's" , the ride is better but had to adjust the ride height a bit, but I'm gonna try your set up to see if I can dial it in a bit better. If anyone has any suggestion I'm all ears Thanks for the feedback.
