I had my timing belt changed yesterday at Toyota of Brunswick and the tech ruined the engine. This is a 2003 with only 47,000 miles on it. They want to put a whole new "remanufactured" Jarco Engine in VS sending it to Lexus in Jacksonville to correct all the mistakes. Any thoughts out there?

I own a Toyota Soarer 1992. I bought it a couple years ago and I'm just starting to work on it. One of my rearlights is messed up and I'm looking for someone or someplace that can sell me one except Ebay. Can anyone help me out??

Hey Ladies and Gents,
My name is obvious, check my SN! I am a member of LS1Tech.com LSXNation.Net Hachiroku.net and now Clublexus woot woot! I live in the Portland Oregon metro area, and my car is a 115k mile 92 SC400 in Diamond White Pearl that my late uncle bought used around 1997. He suffered a massive heart attack while driving the SC and passed away in it while driving with his buddies from San Jose to San Fransisco. So the car will remain in my family's possession for ever. Its a great car and I love the 1UZ! I might have to swap one in my TE72 one day.
I also wanted to thank every one here for posting extremely helpful info that fixed the problems we have been having wid the SC lately:

Does anyone know of any other issues I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! Picked up my 1992 SC300 5-speed in mid March. Been lurking the forums for info and finally decided to join up. Car came with Supra seats, Origin body kit, Tenzo 18x8 rims, kenwood touchscreen, NRG quick release wheel, mishimoto radiator, Kaaz 2 way LSD, and the previous owner painted it IS300 grey metallic (from what he said). I plan on putting the OEM bumpers back on and painting her black. As soon as I sell my Honda though, I will be doing a full Supra swap. GTE, V160, and 220mm 3.13 rear end. Car drives great right now though and is definitely a head turner. Wish I had bought one a long time ago.
Glad to be here and hope to make new friends.
Cheers,
Danny

hello everybody! My name is Usiel Vargas, I was born in LA in 1988 moved to Texas when I was 4ish?? I can't remember haha.
My older brother let me take over his 92 sc300 na-t build 2 years ago and I have loved every second of it, despite the many headaches. It was a stock 2jz with the stock w58 tranny. the best pull the car made was 353 hp before I seized the turbo
lol got it fixed then I drove it for a while and then at a drift event she started knocking
The car is being built to drift. It is on Stance GR+ coilovers, has been almost completely gutted, I am in the process of dropping a 1jz in it, keeping the w58 tranny with a stage 4 clutch and lightened flywheel, I know about them being "weak" but I have taken great care of it and hope it lasts me at least a year of competitive driving. Front upper adjustable camber arms, rears on the way, and many other suspension upgrades to come.
I'll update you all later with the build thread
