Default I just picked up my 02

Hello,

I got my 02 SC430 with only 19,000 miles for 37k last week and i am lookng for mods.

i ordered the 06 tails from carson toyota with the fuse box upgrade. now waiting for that to come in i am looking for a good exhaust.

The choices are limited, TTE, Blitz? any others? i looked under the car and i cant believe how restrictive the stock exhaust looks. the diameter is literally cut in half at the rear axle.

i am also looking for wheels and some coilovers. i found these and i think i am going to get them.



thinking about ordering some Tein CS's next week sometime. they seem to be the best deal out there.

thanks for letting me ramble on.

Congrats on your new SC430!! I see that you're already thinking mods but what you failed to mention your colors on your new toy.

Congrats! Need to see those pics? Keep in mind on wheels that the SC430 has a very aggressive offset. If memory serves I am running a 20 offset on my wheels and they are flush with the body. Exhaust is more of your taste than anything else. They all appear to be good.

i knew i was forgetting something.

what kind of exhausts do you guys have?

also how is the ride if i lower it on 20's i want the tire to sit right at the fender. on a 20 that shouldnt be mor that a couple inch drop i am thinking.

Those Oakland Raiders colors sound real nice. That's a good look. Unfortunately I don't own an SC........yet. I'm looking for an Indigo Blue one though, as I've been loving that color as of late.

congrats on the new car! yes the stock exhaust is very restrictive, that's why a good exhaust could be very nice!

and you are on a roll there already with mods man
