funny thing is, to me, that's 120% awesome. just driving it everywhere, probably having the time of his life.

not saying i like seeing cars neglected, just that its so cool to see one out in the world, being a car that does car things. hopefully he took reasonable care of it and it didn't rot into a pile of salt and rust?

I don't care that those were only sold in Europe, that price is still stupid. For the same coin you could buy this - clicky pow

Lee the rear seats are in the bed so you don't have to hear your kids bitching everytime they get smacked with a branch.

The time has come to finally put my beloved Garnet Pearl 1994 Lexus SC300 original 5 speed for sale. This Lexus sc300 has 101,553 miles and is in excellent shape for being almost 25 years old! Purchased originally in 2010 from an older gentleman in the SW VA area, and it is a southern car originally from Georgia. I have meticulously cared for the car with countless synthetic oil changes to several stages of building the car. This lexus for me was a great way to get into a supra without the cost of the supra and I loved every bit of learning the GTE / GE platform. For the 5 years I've owned the car it's been a weekend driver and not a daily.

To follow the full story of the vehicle, I have created a build thread on clublexus that outlines everything that has been done to the car previously. It's a long read but it shows how much time, work, and thought I put into building the car.

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/build-threads/585535-hipsi-s-na-t-build-thread-billet-6265-in-store.html

Now the car sits in my garage and is converted back to its original stock appearance. I have slowly sold off all the exterior mods and re-installed the factory suspension, wheels, exhaust. This gives the future buyer the perfect blank slate turbo sc300 platform to build off of. Add suspension and wheels and you have a head turning original 5spd turbo lexus!

This Lexus SC300 might appear stock from the outside but under the hood I have left all the power mods. Turboing this Lexus was my intention from the beginning so ARP head studs and a GTE HG was installed to lower compression slightly. During this time I also replaced any and all maintenance items that could be replaced including a newly refreshed head / valve seals, water pump, timing components.

Adding a turbo to a stock GE ecu causes tuning to be nearly impossible. With the help of AliSC3's GTE ecu mod from clublexus, I converted the car to a rare 6spd Toyota Supra TT GTE ecu. This ecu is amazing! No tuning needed the car runs like a factory TT Supra and is daily driver reliable. Cold starts, idle, cruise, and WOT. Since I have installed 550cc injectors an Apexi SAFC NEO was installed to offset the increase in fuel. At the beginning of 2015 I sold my daily driver and drove this car regularly for 6 months until I found a GX470. I would trust it to drive across country any day. It still has cold A/C and cruise control was retained with the IS300 manual steering wheel conversion.


Some downsides to purchasing a 25 year old car:
The only issues with the car worth mentioning is cosmetic. The rear bumper has the typical fading paint and a small tree clipped the rear back end of the car scratching it slightly. The paint is original and the vehicle is accident free. The interior is factory leather but the drivers side seat is showing its age. I was going to have the seats redone in sandstone leather but never got around to it. The passenger seat and rear seats are perfect. The drivers side window piece is splitting at the center which seems common to with these cars and age, passenger side is perfect.
