Default I'm looking for the guy who ...

Bought my brothers car ...

1993 Black SC400
Black 19" Motegi Togues with a polished lip
Polished IS350 calipers





Last I heard the car is somewhere in North Texas maybe in Oklahoma

I'm trying to buy my IS350 calipers back

Any information on how I can get a hold of the guy would greatly be appreciated

Thanks!

anyways good luck i guess.

I had my SC300 apart and I was wanting to test the calipers so I installed them on his car, the deal was he'd roll them till my car was back on the road. Unfortunately I was relocated for work and my SC was put on the backburner. He got a little wild hair in him and traded his SC for a Galaxy which he then traded for another car. When I got back he tells me he sold the car with my brakes and I've been on the manhunt since then

I'm tempted to give up and just contact Aliga and get another set of IS350 calipers ...

But I'm putting up one good fight before I give up

I didn't know IS350 calipers fit the SC.... that's news to me. Who else did this mod? Just curious.

^, I with this guy.

Currently on LS4's but the IS350 calipers will surely clean up the area behind the spokes.

So the IS350 calipers bolt right on? Whats the procedure if there is one? Would make for a nice DIY... What about rotors?

As far as I know I'm the only one, I have a thread where I posted how I did it but I warn you, if you think outside the box everyone on CL suddenly becomes a mechanical engineer and they will flame anything you do.

Good luck on getting them back, but if I bought it I would never give them back! lol Definitely would like to see how you fitted them though.

Yea, that person bought them fair and square, there is no way they will give you the brakes back. It is your brothers fault, tell him to pay you.

I've seen the car on the forums before I think.

I've never seen it Oklahoma or the North Texas area driving around. Most SC's I've seen are stock in North Texas.

I know that I'll have to one way or another convince whoever owns it, but I'm willing to throw in some polished LS calipers and I'll install them along with a Cusco strut bar

I think it's a fair deal

Your brother would have the contact info still, wouldn't he? Or did you beat him first before asking questions?
