Lexus SC300

[sooch]

come to my house i want a ride in this piece

Turbo turned out to be the wrong flange, search continues.  

From that snow storm:


 
Sc is pretty fun in the snow.  In order to go anywhere you have to turn traction control off, since it kills all the power you want to put down.

 

[GClark]

I bought another SC.

As soon as the 99 sells, this one is getting a 1jz.

 

[JoeBalz]

Can you not do the swap with the other one?

 

[Matt]

The other has well...... Yea...

 

[GClark]

Old one turned out to be a dud. Sucks. Plus its obd2, this obd1, the swap is a lot easier.

Dud in what way?

I hate obd1. You go through cars like underwear

 

[SUBARUDE]

Garrett's always good for buying dud's

Rust/bondo work that we didn't see when I bought it. Not worth fixing.

Maybe, depends if it sells for what I'm asking, ill deal with tan.

Obd1 makes swaps way simpler. I think I have underwear that I've owned longer than some cars.

Unfortunately.

Stupid 99 has been sold, 1jz search is on! Im hoping to find a manual one, sick of driving autos. 

 

[Meyagi]

you will hate on autos till you ride in the GS with the S366 turbo

 

[GClark]

I know it'll be fast, but I just miss driving a manual.  Plus I want to shoot my bov at every ricer I see. 

 

[Acky]

About time.

I like to call this "blowing them kisses" or "kissing them goodbye."

 

[GClark]

It's almost comical

But! It has a 1jz, manual, and excellent body. Shouldn't be too long to get it on the road.

 

[Jamey]

Even comes with a plow ?

Hey now, it's that bad.  At least theres a fmic behind it.

This was quite the adventure buying it.  I get down to Clinton, MA after being stuck in 495 traffic for a hour, and the guy says he's not there yet.  Okay fine.  30 minutes go by and no seller.  I give him a call and he said he had no ride and he was 10 minutes away. WTF. So I go pick his ass up, drive back to the location of the car, and then start the process of getting it out of the underground storage area.  This consisted of jacking up the rear, sliding it over, and making little turns for a hour or so.  

Looked like this

Then on the way home, it rained harder then I've ever seen.  Speed was down to 45mph.  Didn't get home until midnight. 

Only other pic I got, notice the pro status intercooler couplings

Low cars and 495 fail .. I just came back from mass lost a fog light from the "smooth" roads on 495 , nice find
