They came 5-speed from factory with the W58, just very hard to find.HMNGSupraMKIII;1901255 said:
Very clean and nice looking SC, I was contemplating selling my supra and buying one to put a 1jz or 1.5 in it. Good luck with it!
I picked up a 1997 SC300

The SC300 was available with a manual but the SC400s were all autos. The manuals are rare as hen's teeth.
They are cool cars and the chassis is almost identical to the Mk4 supra.
I have always likes the SC's
I actually bought it for the auto. I have a built auto sitting in my garage ready to be installed once I do the 1.5jz swap.
Poo, I started the clay barring today. I will finish it tomorrow and try to get some pictures if it's not raining all day.

There clean my buddy has sc400 exhaust xpipe coilovers 5zigens auto but fast and smooth. Idk why they put the gas tank right behind the rear seats though.
Might be an issue running the 340 in this J, carefully check the input splines and TC dimensions.
SC's are an amazing long distance cruiser/GT car, done a few interstate trips in my Bud's car!

I'll check them Ian, but the tranny that I have came out of a 1jz so I'm hoping it's the same. It didn't come out of a 7m.
I noticed the gas tank was behind the rear seats today as well. I was adjusting my coilovers and saw the gas tank. I must say it surprised me seeing it there.

Is there really any way of preventing this? I know for a fact my setup is going to strain the car, got all new bushings, and probably going to reinforce the subframe in the rear as well, just in case. Would a full cage help? I mean, I don't especially like the idea, but if it will help keep the car nice, I'll bite and buy myself a couple helmets for the car.IJ.;1901157 said:
Ahh, these are that way as well? Was surprised myself to find this was the case with the LS400 too. On the plus side, you could eat off the tank in my car...dubsupra209;1901494 said:
I ordered two new front calipers and rotars from an LS400. The brakes on this thing leave a lot to be desired. My supra has the front brakes from a gt500 on them, so I guess I'm spoiled.
I'll be checking into the AEM V2 next week to see if that will work better for me than the suprastick auto controller. The suprastick may not work at all and it will be easier to sell it if I don't cut up any wires. Hopefully the AEM will do everything I need it to do.

Nice sc!
I was into SCs before mk3s oddly enough lol..
First toyota/lexus i ever had was a bone stock 95sc300 I did a 1jz swap, suspension, wheels..
Then sold it got a 5 speed black interior sc, eventually picked up a 97 RSP sc300 with black interior car was NA-T.
Since my 3 scs ive had 3 mk3 supras now lol..
Do love my scs, for dailys much more comfortable, I dont daily my supra though so it feels more fun to drive and sporty then the sc,
Also seems to get more compliments.. id like another sc one day though, most comfy coupes ever..
Congrats on the new car though im diggin the stance & enkeis with the "big win" lip?
Think I seen it on club lexus fs but might be confusing it with another

No, it was the same one for sale on CL. I flew to Chicago, bought it, and drove it home.
IJ, I told Ken to take the picture from my neck down. I thought the abuse would be easier that way, but he doesn't listen very well.

After driving this thing for a month, I think I've decided to keep it stock for a while. I love being able to drive it without any worries about anything breaking due to too mucking fuch horsepower. I may decide to put a turbo on it later, but for now, I'm happy with the way it is. I think I'll redo the interior and make it all perfect some time this spring.
Now I just need to get my car cleaned up and on the market.

Damn it! I was hoping you'd pull your motor and sell the shell. I was prepared to offer $100 per coat of paint, but I wasn't sure I could afford it.
Seriously though, if it drives anywhere near as smooth as Ken's, I wouldn't touch a thing

An end of an epic era...the blue Supra decomissioned - all I can say is WOW!! Makes me kinda sad.
Great looking new ride though Jay. If you need help with the paint let me know... but it looks pretty darn good in the photos.
...oh and I will go ahead a vulture. Whatcha gonna do with the equips?
