[keiffith]

just got myself an exquisite car. 1999 lexus SC300 with tan leather interior and forest green on the sheet metal. whether this is going to replace my beretta i dont quite know yet, but i have been wanting a "nice" car for some time. will have pics tomarrow, too dark to take any now. im ready for the

Needs turbo and 5-speed and you have a fun car

[keiffith]

whats funny is the solstice 6 speed will bolt up. the gearing is higher so the ring and pinion has to be changed, but the turbo supra rear has a perfect one to put the tranny to highway gears. this car is more than likely going to stick to being a highway cruiser, these things can be made rediculiously fast, but also requires a lot of coin. i would like a turbo, but i might as well buy a 2jzet full motor and just swap.

forgot they had a online ad so i just stole them. its mine now anyways..

ooooh! It's a 2JZ. You'll find PLENTY of go fast parts for that motor. Great buy. I love those cars.

indeed. these motors are stout, and mine hasnt been raped....yet. whats cool is the only thing not "supra" is the shell. everything to brakes, differentials to trannys bolt in.

Yeah, dude, the Soarer is many times the forgotten son of the 2JZ world. You can make that thing into a monster in a hurry and unlike Supras, ride in style.

If I remember correctly, you may be able to direct-swap in high-performance parts from Supras into this car. That's one thing I love about some Japanese cars, parts are interchangeable. I remember back when my dad had his Q45, you could put the bigger brakes from 300ZXs in there. Just bolt em up and go! Have fun with that thing dude. I know you'll love it.

holy tape deck

but what you dont see is the 12 disk CD changer...

[lolwut]

IIRC Lexus offered cassette players through 2010.

[berettaboi]

now there's aother reason for 'Woah!' lol cassette available through all those years... i suppose a lot of older intellectual gentlemen (the kind you might find driving a lexus) listen to books and other things on record able formats that they had dealt with for many years... lol

[keiffith]

the sc300 began in 92, and was only slightly changed over the years. the reason the casettes there is because it wasnt cost effective to remove it, so it stayed till they discontinued the SC3/400 and replaced it with the sc430.

You weld the diff yet?
