Default New guy from Indiana..

New guy from IN.

93 SC300 5sp
165k miles
Bone Stock

Brand new OEM leather front and rear, new OEM shift boot and ebrake boot. Came with uninstalled Blitz Exhaust.

I picked it up yesterday and found a couple small issues that need addressed. The climate control LCD doesn't light up, AC blows warm, front passenger side suspension is creaking a bit, and the paint needs claybarred in a bad way. Other than that, no issues. Doesn't appear to leak/use any fluid and pulls strong all the way to redline.

Can't wait to start modding.

I'm also in Indiana, down in the southern part of the state in New Albany, where abouts are you located?

I too just picked up my first SC as well, though it is no where near as clean as yours. I will get it there eventually though.

I'm in Evansville, not all that far from you.

I had a friend tell me about a SC3/400 at the local pull a part yard the other day. I'm going to see how much of it's left here in a few minutes, if you're looking for any parts.

I know of a Pull-A-Part in Louisville, is there one in Evansville?

I'd gladly like to know what parts are left. I'm replacing most of my interior lol.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, there's one in Evansville. It's picked clean.

The only thing left worth anything is the CD Changer. I took the wing and the matts.

Carpet is there. Didn't think to look at it too closely. It's tan and would likely dye easily.

Nice SC, Congrats! By far you best "bang for the buck" mod on a SC is the LS400 BBK! Very easy DIY.
