Intro. My SC and I

Been lurking around the forum for a while. Decided to intro myself and my SC300-T

I started building this car back in January after my brother crashes my Lexus SC400 right into a tree. I decided to pick up a 300 and go balls out with it. The car needed a ton of work since it was nearly on its deathbed. I picked it up cheap and the restoration began...

Here's a quick shot of what it was when I first got it:

Nice right? :biggthumpup:

Since then I've put a bunch of goodies on it and slapped a turbo on it. Originally my direction was to go real fast, but I decided to take a turn towards something a little more luxurious and vip styled... Of course it will never be TRUE vip but I really wanna try to get that vip styled look. I am looking to get an aristo if and when I get tired of the coupe.

Here are a few more shots of how the car is looking now.

Custom CarPC with 7 inch touch screen custom molded up front. (almost done)

Right now my suspension needs a complete overhaul so ignore the fact that the car is up in the sky!! I am building some custom bilstein coilovers for now. I have no idea if I'm going to do the air suspension. (depends on time and budget)

very nice curry,

do you know what happened to clubna-t.com? i can't get on there for my life.

Thanks bro.

Hmm just went on the site, working fine for me.

Any updates on the Carputer?  Are you doing it like this:[IMG]http://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data//502/medium/acleansc4-carputer.jpg[/IMG]

Molded above? Or molding below?

Carputer specs?

No progress on the carpc yet. All I did was the bezel so far. Just waiting on the rest of the parts. The last carPC I had was a powerhouse for no reason. lol. I decided to keep this one as small as possible. Just for GPS, Movies and Music. Most of the wiring is already run. Just need those few key parts.
 
M2-ATX Power Supply
120 gig laptop hard drive
Little Valley Intel MB
1 Gig of Ram
I think its like 1.3 ghz or something
VoomPC2 case
GPS
wireless game controller
palm sized keyboard
 
Heres a shot of how I did the bezel. I did it so it looks as factory as possible without having to move things around.

I was wondering what engine managment are you using? since you have a turbo.

whoa shit thats nice do they make that for 147's?

I'm sure you can make it for the 147.  You could probably use a bigger screen too!

[QUOTE=LM Tony;201662]I'm sure you can make it for the 147.  You could probably use a bigger screen too![/QUOTE]

how do you make it? is it some sort of kit that the user makes on their own, or are there pieces that can be bought to make, or is it a kit? more details please.
Thanks
