Vincent; SC300 updates

I previously had a GS300 and dabbed into the vip scene for a little bit. Sold it and picked up a turbo miata to have some fun. Got rid of that and now Im back into the lexus scene with a SC300.
Figured I'd make a "build" thread and log all my updates all into one thread

Purchased the car about 2-3 months ago. Heres how it looked when I got it. Wheels are volk se37a

Then I ordered some PBM Coilovers

Picked up a PBM Fender Roller, these things are great. You dont have to lower / raise your car for the wheel to reach the fender like the eastwood. You just flip the mounting portion upside down so you gain a few inches for stock height cars or you flip it the other way for lowered cars

Okay no more second thoughts on the varrstoens, someone buy them. (varrstoens sold)
I have these sitting at home, ordens belong to a friend

Decided to paint my spark plug cover gloss black (high temp). Sorry for the dirty bay. I'll get around to cleaning it soon enough

Forum image

My clutch and flywheel came in.

Car is stuck at the shop getting the clutch installed
Did a harness relocate before I dropped the car off
