Default New to this board, just got a sc400

Hi, My name is Stu. I have been on the supra boards for quite some time now. I have a 88 turbo supra that I have been building up.


I just recently purchased at 92 sc400 for 3k. Seems like a great car. High mileage but it doesn't really show it. Drives great! It is my daily, but I would like to do a few minor things to it. (Lower/wheels/BFI/exhaust etc.) Looking forward to participating on this board. Here are some crappy pics, I will have to get some better ones later.

Appreciate the props everyone! 193k miles right now. The front suspension is lacking, I have gotten under it and it looks like the struts are pretty gone (rides like a boat) So I got some supra suspension on the way. It has minor little issues, but for a 200k car I think its really great.

Stu your car is in great shape for that kind of mileage, I dont believe I have seen an engine bay that clean.

What do you use to clean it ---I would love to do mine as well, thanks in advance.

lol thanks guys. Its got its quirks too. A few needles are burnt out and paint is getting old you can see the front bumper is getting a little different in color. Im looking to replace the front seats cause they are ripped in some area's mostly the drivers side. Oh and they must have had the thing detailed before cause the engine was spotless. I didnt do the cleaning on it, though I will keep it clean for sure.

the engine is more than spotless----notice all the wording on the lids for the fluids-no scratches or dullness---notice the side walls and how clean it is-----its like a brand new vehicle---it shows no signs of usage at all


amazing in my opinion
