I agree, I wont do any mods to body, I think they look great they way they are. I would tint it, maybe drop it an inch and possibly put wheels on mine, but nothing like 20" chrome wheels or anything. As far as body kits, im out, not trying to look like fast and furious. I love the luxury Lexus look. The only mods I have planned is a Trans/2JZGTE swap. I wouldnt mind a little modest power, like 300-350hp range.

Just bought a 1999 SC300. 64500 miles. Garage kept. Just like new. Silver with black interior. My first Lexus. Absolutely love it. Had it shipped from OKC to Mississippi. Already had windows lightly tinted. About to install Alpine sound system. Sold my 1999 RL that I had put 223000 miles. Loved the trouble-free Acura but already love the SC more.

Hello
Hello my name is Jeresen I currently live in the rainy city of Seattle I just purchased my first car and it was a sc400 for $1700 very clean inside but differential was bad and when out had it for about month but am currently saving my own money for a sc300 hoping the gas mileage is better because I blew through a lot of gas in that month it was running if you are looking for a parts car also my 92 400 is up for sale it runs just doesn't drive

Hello all! I am a looooooooooong time lurker, and a soon to be owner of an SC. i am very picky about my cars when I am in the purchasing market, so it may still be a little while before I find that "Right" one. I already have a plan in mind for it, and can not wait to get started. Love this forum and the wonderful vibe that is present.

I don't know nearly as much about mods as most of the folks on this site, so this may sound like an idiotic question, but I'm curious: couldn't doing something like swapping out the engine end up a disaster, or is it a pretty standard procedure? I would hate to try to have something like that done and end up killing the reliability or ruining the car altogether...

New member, hope to be posting pictures of my 93 sc400 in the next few days, I usually drive a Mazdaspeed6, but some M3 rear ended me so for the next week or so the sc400 it is. I have a few questions, and it seems I will have no trouble finding answers here

New guy here. I'm just a blue collar working guy, factory work, just paid off my 1992 Lexus SC400 that I fell in love with. It was on a buy here pay here lot with a bad rep, and it was rough. AC and radio screens were burned, the speedo didn't work, etc. Blower motor out. Leather seats were also trashed, I could go on. It was ROUGH. But, I loved it, and bought it anyhow.
Long story short, wrecked it after insurance lapsed, have it it the shop right now, when I get it out, I'd like to get it to like new condition. Watch for my help me thread soon lol.
