A few shots of the Lexus Soarer ~ Pictures added ~

I know I havent really put up pics of my car yet but here goes. This is my 1993 Lexus SC300 (JZZ30). The color is Midnight Indigo Pearl (8J5). Ive had her for about 4-5 years. I used to race it alot out on the street but stopped as soon as I got caught in a bust. Since thing I have only been doing a few passes at the track with my brother. Sacramento Raceway was our second home. I have always been into VIP and VIP Style cars. I know my car is not a traditional VIP car but I am working towards styling it. Ive got it slammed on Tein SS (Supra) but its not low enough for me so I'll be looking to add some air sometime in the near future. As for the body, the 14yr old paint is slowly fading away so I'll be repainting it the same color.

I have the 97 front bumper with a clean set of 2000 headlights that I had purchased brand new from the dealer. I didnt want to deal with that used shit. The taillights were also upgraded to 97 tails. The car used to be automatic but I converted it to a 5speed manual I got from a 96 Supra. The exhaust is the Mega from 5Zigen. I got these bad boys at cost before they discontinued them. 2 resonators and 1 cat were deleted to make them sound mean. Ive also got an Injen intake and a 150 shot of Nitrous. I used to have a set of SSR SP1 wheels that I just got rid of a couple months ago. Then it happened, I found my dream wheel. The car now sits on a set of Junction Produce OZ Scaras. The fitment is not the way I want it yet. I had to push all the wheels out to sit pretty flush. I pulled the rear fenders a bit. They still rub but thats alright.

As for future plans, I want to buy the rare VIP T's Project body, get the car painted, Universal Air, 2JZGTE, and get the Scaras refinished.

Here are a few phone shots of the SC I had lying around. Some are current some are not. I'll try and get clear shots of the Scaras soon.

I appreciate the comments. Im sorry about the crappy camera phone pics. I dont really want to show it off yet. I want to wait until it gets new paint and my new motor goes in. Then I'll make a couple phone calls, round up the posse, and take some really clean shots. I'll keep you guys updated.

They only way I'll part with this exhaust is if I can get a hold of some Junction Produce Type 2 mufflers to take place of my Megas. Im not exactly a fan of the rolled tips on the Megas.

Well Im a fan of the Toyota Soarer, which is what the SC is called in Japan. I love that they come with turbo motors and Griffen emblems. I also love the luxury of a Lexus which is what the SC is named in the states. So I put the best of both worlds together and came up with "Lexus Soarer".

Basically, Ive got the 1JZ like a Soarer and the Luxury of a Lexus.
