I have been daily driving my 93 sc300 5spd and planning a 2jzgte swap. All of the body work was just redone, removed the spoiler and shaved emblems and antanae and filed all holes. pulled the fenders and new fresh black paint. Was cruising on the freeway and long story short I now have a hole in the side of my block.......I will get some pics up in the next few days. So now I am going head first into a full build. I just finished gutting the tan interior to refresh. The carpet Is in extremely good condition so I will have it shampoed and re used. I am going to have the entire car dynamatted since all the interior is out and hope that this helps a bit with the ride noise. I want to leave the interior as near stock as possible and have a new set of front seats from a 97 on a freight truck as we speak in near mint condition. I just ordered a kenwood dnx-9990 as I love the look of the in dash nav on the sc's, and since I am new to southern cali I cant wait to have the nav features. The arm rest and parking brake boot were shot too so I have new ones. The doors are actualy in pretty good condition. I will get some interior pics up also. I would love to share more about the upcoming build as well as get as much help as possible. I will be doing most of the work myself and leaving the rest to the pros.

Default New Lexus Owner

Since the Mustang kicked the bucket, i figured i would pick up a Supra with a fat man's suit.

I already ordered some coilovers, and i only have owned the car for 40 minutes.

Default Hello everyone My Im Kinji from bayarea, Ca

Hello everyone ,

My name is Kinji , Recently purchased a 93 SC400 from my neighbor for only $300 . The body is in great condition and feel like I got it for a steal. Few set backs obviously for buying it at that price so far it needs: a new left bank sub 02 sensor/ me and my room mate is going to refill the transmission fluid since its not shifting right and missing power/ replace my whole exhaust system

Default 1999 sc400

I've been a member for a while but never posted much. I have a black 99 SC4 with black interior, and this forum has been very helpful.

Moin Moin!

My name is Felix, born and raised in switzerland. Came to the states about 12 years ago.
Been into old RWD volvos mostly. Like to get beaters and make them go fast.
From tucson, living in phoenix now.

I currenly own an 81 244 volvo manual non turbo
and a 84 242 volvo, getrag transmission, 2.3L, 16g evo turbo and standalone EFi running on e85

Last week I picked up a sc300 for cheap. Has a swap out of a 94 supra (non turbo) and an r154. and some voxx wheels (eck)
It needs some engine work... idling issues. and lots of interior work..... it does have supra seats which is nice.
Can't wait to turbo this baby.

Note the ride height when I got it.... I the front was actually lifted.


I cut the springs for now (still need to do the rear), until I can get coilovers next month.
I call it the CAMARO STANCE!

Default Rare 92 SC300 w/72k miles

How's everything guys? I'm the owner of a beautiful, deep-red 92 SC3. She's all stock other than Gold BBS rims and an in-dash navi system. Love it to death, but I may be forced to sell it soon.

If I keep it, should I turbo her out or keep it stock. I'm not too familiar with mods but I like what I've seen on the thread

Thoughts???

Hey guys, not really new to CL but haven't been on in a while so might as well start fresh.
I have a 92 white sc300 with dual Naxos exhaust and an injen intake, painted stock rims black but hopefully getting new ones soon
