Henry, so that exhaust has removable silencers? I didn't even think about that.

Does anyone have anymore info about this exhaust? Such as where to buy, price, how much louder it is than stock, etc? Thx!

The owner probably just puts some add-on to make it sound turbo.
I believe similar kit can be purchased on Ebay for $50.

You can call Carson Toyota to order it, I think.
The retail price is 158,000 yens before tax.
I'll give them a call tomorrow to see what's up, thx!

I agree, they all look very eye catching though

So your #1 criteria for picking a place is it will never scrape the ground when you turn into the driveway ?

actually, true, looking and almost measuring driveways have become part of our house hunting checklist. the place where i live i can have a very low car and no problem, but where my wife lives, not the perfect location yet. that's why we can't lower the car too much (if she goes at a wrong angle she would scrape already). but soon

and jimmy, actually most exhaust can have the option to put on silencer. if you look at the exahust tip, usually there is a little hole at the top or bottom, that's where you put on the silencer and the screw.

but it's definitely not something i would do though, i think it looks ugly

Those new Trafficstar ain't bad on the SC... (not much a fan for the dish one tho).

Henry, those Trafficstar decals look good~ you should get a metalic silver one and put them on your car. I used to have the "top Fuel" on my 97' while SC, doesn't look too bad...

So modified means some aftermarket wheels and lowered SC? I like the stock SC430 it is useable and looks great. If you can't drive it why waste the $$$?

also, why not order the wheels to clear the BBK instead of running the spacer? still a nice looking car.

Maybe he ordered the super low disc to get the flat face look.
He is running 20mm Kics spacers.

[QUOTE=Max707;2225757]So modified means some aftermarket wheels and lowered SC? ...I think it is a good start.. what about you guys?


I guess we have to have a balance between how it looks and how it drives when modding. I would hate to have left my sc430 stock- It just doesnt look that good to me, sorry. I still need better wheels though.
