Talking picked up my ride

i picked up a 1995 sc300 5speed today, i must say its a blast. its in great condition, its like a greenish blue color, tan leather, and again a blast to drive! i will post pics later.

Nice work. 25 posts and you have one of those "hard to find" 5 speeds. Congrats. Enjoy the ride and take care of it.

The supra shifter will go in if you know what you are doing. You will have to use the shifter from the 5 speed though and I don't think it is any different. There is a short shifter available. Or you could just cut yours down, turn it (if its not hollow?), thread it and presto. Free short shifter.

Wow a 5-speed. Great Find. Where did you find it? In florida? I go up to gaineville a lot but barely see any SCs. Anyways again very nice find and drive responsibly. Not too many 5-speeds left.

Oh ya if you're going to be around the central FL area theres going to be a FL meet during spring break so see if yuo can make it out....

no one of them was a 1995 renaissance red auto, i had it in high school (~1996) and got toooo many tickets, it was a bit flashy, my parents sold that and got me somethin else.

the other one, my personal favorite was a mint condition 1997 (i got it in ~2000), black, tan leather, auto, it was incredible, i loved it, but i was a complete fool and got a stinking girlfriend that got a bit pricey, and i will never make that mistake again, i ended up selling it.

never wrecked either of em!

Congrats on your purchase. That 5 speed is a great find. Count me in as another member of the " I miss Florida and wish I still lived there" club. Grew up in Daytona & still have family there. Still go down there at least twice a year. Need to have a central Fla CL meet the week of Thanksgiving, since I am always there that week. Big hot rod show in Daytona that I can't miss. Oh yea, and you can probably guess who my favorite college football team is.
