Carl Miller - 1992 Lexus SC300
Hello -
My name is Carl Miller from Atlanta. I've owned my SC for coming up on 3 years. So far I have installed an Injen Intake and JIC Magic exhaust. This is actually my 1st SC. I have been a HONDA fan for years. I love the V-Tecs. I have now been turned onto the power of the inline 6 and all of the benefits and upgrades that you can do to one.
For the past year or so I have been experiencing a ton of problems. So far my car is not running and I just don't know why. I have looked at ClubLexus several times because of the amount of knowledge everyone has.
My background came from drag racing. I lived in South Georgia all of my life and in the south racing is big. I always loved betting up on the Ameican Muscle with our imports.
Pictures of my SC are coming soon

I finally got rid of all of my hondas and bought a 1994 SC400 about 6 months ago and i love it. I have a whole room in my house full of parts ready to go onto the car. too much stuff to list out, but im shooting for 1000 rwhp streetable car with a clean sleeper look. I just had the car painted and well i just got ripped off, the paint is flaking off already, so the pictures below are right before i started to restrip it, ill be painting it soon myself... nice to be on here!

Hey all I'm new here... all the way from South Australia!
Now I've had a UZZ31 Soarer (I guess you call them SC400's...) for a couple of years and she's had quite a few changes over that time.
Looking for parts and idea's here... always on the look out for the next great thing, which is a supercharger I think!

Forgot to introduce myself...
My name is Milton aka Milt, even though I have been on CL since '05 I would only camp out in the Wheel Classified Section. I got my SC400 2 weeks ago, after searching for it for a long (or what felt very looong) 2 weeks....
I have added a set of Work Vs-TX Wheels on Falken 512s, Stance Coilovers, I have a front lip for it (but waiting to do the alingment first so I won't tear it up) and I'm awaiting the Daizen Camber kit.
This was it 2 weeks ago....
And this is it now...
Since this pic I have put my VS caps on and aded a 35% tint all around.

Hey all, just upgraded from a 2000 gt celica to a 1997 sc300. I have been looking over the site and it is nice to see all the options you have for the car.
Hope to meet up with the Florida members one day and will post up pix later.

Newbe with SC 400 Project
I recently purchased a wrecked 1993 SC 400. I bought it for parts after researching the engine thoroughly. I drove it home to Tampa Bay from Atlanta and I truely enjoyed the car. Had it not been so smashed in the rear I would have considered keeping it. I have pulled the engine, and sold many things on line. In fact I have paid for the car so in essence I have a free engine. The plan is to put this motor and mate it with a 5-6 speed standard trans (working on an adapter now) then putting it in my 1988 RX7 Convertible. Toyota spent $400Mill developing this engine and I believe it is the perfect power/weight/size for my transplant. We shall see. I hope to learn from the other about wiring harness and computer issues. I hope the nature of my project does not make me a pariah. I am glad to be here!

Hey guys. I just picked up my 1993 SC300 5-speed for a "new" daily driver today
I've been looking for one (5-speed only) for several months and this one popped up within an hour of me. It has 170k miles but you would never know it. The car and underbody are extremely clean, the car must have been garaged for most of its life and not driven in the winter much up here to be so rust free. It does have a minor dent on the front fender, a cracked headlight and a slight bend on the hood right above the headlight, but these are minor items and the car is all original with great paint otherwise.
Anyway I'll be sure to put some pictures up once I have a chance to wash it and take pics.
