Default Pics of my recently bought 98 SC300

i know i dont post much here after joining the lexus crowd, but i still love seeing how you guys are modding your s2k's! Alot of them look really great.

I sold my GS400 and after looking through auto trader, found this beauty, a 98 SC3 with 70k miles on for a GREAT price. I couldn't be happier! The interior is PERFECT! The CD changer needs to be fixed but other then that, it's cherry.













it will be boosted.

98-00 are the 2nd-gen SCs.

I've been looking at SCs for a few months now, and am seriously considering one. I'd like a 98 if I can find one.

sweet car man. I used to own a '93 SC400 back in the day and it was a tough decision selling the car but it was time to say goodbye. Anyways it's a damn shame you weren't able to find one in stick... they're so freakin rare. But in any event if you're considering FI you should consider the 2jz-gte swap as well. And if you're not a member of CL then sign up now although i believe you are b/c i saw a thread like this over there recently. Happy Modding!

I may be completely wrong about this but i gotta ask b/c it jus doesn't seem right.. If your car is a '98, then why does it have the older style steering wheel??? I believe they changed to a wood grain one in '96 or '97 or maybe not wood grain but a new style that had a smaller diameter.

I don't think the SC ever got this until the SC430. The GS and LS got the revised wheel, but I've never seen a late-model SC300/400 with one.

The steering wheel was changed on the SC in the '99-'00 models.
