The Car

The machine of choice is a 1997 Lexus Sc300 I bought back in 2007-08. I have always wanted a toyota soarer but since thats a bit out of reach here in America, a sc300 would have to do. The car was a bone stock automatic with 58,000 miles.

I decided to focus on weight and fully gut the car. I figured there was no sense in adding a ton of power (Na-t) when I wouldn't know how to effectively use it. I figured subtracting the weight was my best option because it would enhance handling & braking as well as slightly enhancing better straight line performance. and its free :)

Currently, this is how she sits:
