Said interior wasn't in. Actually, there was only a dash and a drivers seat in at that point.

Ebrake was a little sketchy from tearing the interior to shreds.
Wonder if any SC owners own a Lexus SUV as well?

LOL, didn't mean for anybody to get scared, but it is a lot of fun to drive in the winter!
If I had to drive my SC in the winter though, I'd feel completely safe driving it as long as I'd install a limited slip differential... anyone running an LSD and drive in the snow? I'd love to know how well it tracts...

The SC, first time ever it's getting stored. Soon to be getting a LS7/TR6060 swap. Was my DD for the past 8 years.
The new DD.

Although I am not actually garaging my soarer for the winter I am just not driving it, I don't have any winter tires and my clutch is slipping way to much for winter driving.
This is my winter beater, aka minty ae86 SR5. Auto 4ac powa!
