CHASER

hey i just bought a sc300 and was wondering of some good springs to put on and maybe where i could get them from (ive looked around the cheapest i found is around 200 and thats for eibach).... well actually just any parts in general im lookin to spend around 400-450 on some springs, maybe some bulbs, if i can tires, Etc. maybe some good websites or some shops around ft lauderdale. i live in south florida, coral springs area anyone esle from around here?

so... what u think people?? anyone any opinions would be helpfull

To my understaning when i talked to the guy he told me the price i got is only because im a freind of a good freind of his... still though when he told me it does seem real cheap thats why i thought id ask.... but anyway when i talked to him he told me that he gets the front clip from japan and that includes the manual transmission and ecu... and he would purchase everything else he would need i guess gear box clutch assembly maybe a couple other things??? not really sure i want to research this more of course but if the man is serious then this would be a great price right???? he said the engine wont have more then around 45000 miles.... and i could see it and even watch him do all the work and put it in i mean im no machanic but that a nice way of being sure its done correctly... think its worth taking the chance i can come up with the money in a couple months....

hey i just bought a SC300 and i was wondering of possible engine swaps and aftermarkets/lexus performance parts avialable. the most obvious would be the jav spec supra engine form japan only difference is the twin turbo and about 100 horsepower right? but the main problem is the car i bought is automatic... i talked to a engine guy who works at a shop through a friend and he told me that he could get the the 2jt and install it along with switcing it to the manual transimission that comes with the engine for 2900$ from my understanding the engine alone costs about that price... and is it even possible to switch over the transmission he said hes done it before a couple times on a lexus and all the time with other cars... well anyway just wondering for some opinions on what performance parts i could by for now untill about a month or two from know that wont have to be changed out with the engine.. if i swap... and there opinion on this swap for the price which seems great to me.
