The stock W58 is trash. The R154 is much better but wasn’t OEM to the SC. It was to the Soarer. Lets not forget the MKIV supra is still based on this car. I’ll be out in this car at Radwood Philly in a few weeks.

Stop bringing attention to the last few affordable Japanese cars from the ‘90s.

1997 SC400 Some parts can be a little expensive but I absolutely love it. 

Automatic transmission in a sports car is an automatic crack pipe.

Came in here just to comment that I recognized that dyno.

Looks “Sloppy.”

You must specify the differences in the 2JZ-ge. the non-vvti bottom end is nearly identical to the GTE. Same rods, crank minus the oil squirters. It has a thinner headgasket so the compression is higher but overall it can hold the same abuse as a GTE if the HG is swapped.

What’s this “park” that you speak of? You put it in neutral to save wear on you left leg.

Might be another reason to not be a Chad Knaus fan - I doubt the crew member got the idea on his own.

You can indeed. You should have talked to us in the 3VZ-FE and 1MZ-FE Facebook pages. The 1MZ-FE (v6) 6-speed could also be had with a TRD supercharger.

Damn. Beat me to it.

By request of many of you, here's J.R. calling the fight.

Jersey resident,can confirm....stop lights in Jersey seem optional now a days

The Key to this whole accident is the Jersey Tag on the front of the PT cruiser. Add the woman driver and This focus was doomed from the start.

Congratulations, Misters Kate's Dirty Sister, pooter220 and jvbftw, on COTD! I have for you guys a Lexus which this lovely lady will bring to you if she has room behind the steering wheel.

The only time a Lexus ES has every been sporty...

it's the 3VZ-FE, much as I would love an I6. You may be thinking of the Cressida?

Actually, the 3VZ is a pretty potent powerplant - fiddle with the AFM, advance the timing a few degrees, make a custom y-pipe for it, and round off the flaps on the ACIS , and you're making closer to 225 hp. I've got a whole bunch of links for that thing (from the MR2OC and Toyotanation), since it's a pretty popular…

OOOh! 5spd SC is a Unicorn

Definitely deserved mention!
