hows it goin guys, i been a member of the forum for awhile but i was in mostly the GS400 thread. i just picked up a 1993 SC300 for $9,000 it has 77,000 miles and still in excellent shape for its age. the few things that need to be fixed are the shocks (still decieding on which ones to get) and the cluster where the gas gauge it doesnt light up.

Hello all!
My name is Dave Billings, I'm 6'1", 195 LBS, blonde hair and blue eyes, and I like long strolls on the beach......hehe I'm from Hammond, Louisiana which is about 45 miles north of New Orleans.
Seriously, I have a 1992 SC300 2JZE N/A 6 5 speed that I've owned for about 11 years now and have spent WAAAAAY too much money on the "beast", she looks like a million bucks.
I am a member of many Lexus and Porsche forums and decided to join this one. I look forward to helping with knowledge and learn from the best. Thanks for your time!
Cheers, Dave
PS..how do you post pics????? (I've tried)

Hello !
My name is Eric, im from pittsburgh PA.
I have been in love with supras/sc's for some time now but never truly considered owning one until now. I plan to get a bunch of useful information off of this forum hopefully so i can get started on my next project asap!!
I enjoy driving fast, normally 1/4 mile at a time. Not much of an Auto-x-er . . would like to learn to drift eventually. But most of all want a sc300 with a nice big turbo on it.
Current ride:
2006 Mitsubishi Evolution lancer IX...
after first year of ownership, got bored and pulled motor out. this is what happened from june/2007 till right now.
that was a couple months after ownership.
this is now
I am going to make somewhere over 750+ awhp here, in the next few weeks or so once the motor is finally put back into the car.
Goal for this DD is 9.99 or under. seen em do 9.70's with same kit and less mods, so its up to the driver mod now.

whats up guys, just picked up my 95 SC300 last week. so far it has a lightly modified 1JZ, intercooler, megan turboback and 32 way adjustable suspension.
the car needs a bit of work, mainly paint and a few interior pieces. im planning on doing a single turbo upgrade and few subtle body upgrades, i.e. front bumper/lip, sideskirts etc...
here she is, any helpful pointers would be appreciated. im coming from years in the BMW world, this is my first 'import'.
