Lol that's my car. You must have taken that photo during the winter. The car hasn't been driven to CSUSM since May and the racks been off since February. Yes, I actually use my rack and take it off during off season, because I'm an avid snowboarder.

If you guys are wondering what's up with the fitment, I was actually using the front wheels of my wide body set of wheels on the rear of the car temporarily. The wheels on the rear are actually 19x10 -18 offset and the actual rears of those wheels are 19x11.5 -15. Getting those wheels to fit on a stock body or even a heavily pulled body would be a pain in the ***. Yes, it can be done, but the wheels were bought years ago specifically for the wide body. The car is currently a work in progress 1jz wide body car now.

The car was not an original 5 speed. A friend and I swapped out the motor and 5 speed set out of a crashed SC I purchased from Levistey's brother here in SD, and the interior I sourced from the local yards.

Eventually I'll throw up a thread with the car finished but cars haven't really been on my priority list lately.

Whattup Mike! Yeah, it's actually the SC I picked up from Lawrence a couple years ago. The 5 speed setup made a huge difference in my appreciation for the car. We did the motor/trans swap in a weekend.

My other green SC I gave it to one of my friends at Sinful. I pulled the motor out of the green SC did a wire tuck and painted the bay to throw the 1J in but decided there was no point in having 2 SCs at the time. I decided to put all my efforts into the black car and eventually pickup a 97-00 sometime in the future. The 2jz/5spd from your old car will eventually end up in my 87 Toy 4x4.

Are you still out in Vegas? Did you sell your other SC a while back?

That explains the fitment! That sounds like some crazy specs man. I don't think I've seen wheels like that before up front on an SC before.
