Today we talk about the Lexus SC300. The SC300 is a luxury sports coupe produced by Toyota from 1991 to 2000. It was a rear-wheel drive car with a 3.0L 2JZ engine and featured a sleek, sporty design. It was considered a more luxurious and powerful alternative to the Toyota Supra of the same time period.

The SC community isn’t going to like this. Only reason you can find these cars for under 10k still is because no one knows what they are

@@princesssolace4337 no. Parts hoarders are just as bad for the car community as takeovers. If you have parts you arent using, either give them away or sell them. Dont pile them up and collect them and wait until they're almost impossible to find just to make these cars harder and more expensive for people who dont have 10k lying around for parts.

I got over the sc300 kinda quick. As a child I fawned over the a80/mk4, but then I got into auto tech and found out out about the SCs. Went to look at the cleanest white 60k mile sc400… but it didn’t work out. Years later and after college though, I was able to land myself a steal and got a black sc400 slick top… then like a couple months later another steal.. a low mile sc300 for the cheap. Well. Spent like thirty grand on building it… it was exactly like the supras I liked as a kid lmaoooo. But I sold it. Tbh, I think the boosted 400s are cooler now. Idk why I told this story lmao

i dont get why no body is talking about how little this dude understands, it isn't the same 2jz, and the reason they are so cheap isn't because people don't know about it, it's because the engine is very mechanically different than a 2jz-gte. While they share a block, you won't find the same forged internals and the "easy 500 wheel" you talk about in a 2jz-ge, the sc300 will need around 7k in forged engine internals to sustain that power without snapping a rod. The reason supra's are expensive is because the 2jz they contain can actually sustain around 700 wheel horse power without being opened up by forcing some more air and fuel into the cylinders.

I miss my sc 😢 it was a 99, with the facelift, I had a gte block and head I was getting machined but ended up having to sell the sc because my outside of city limits home got annexed and where it is inside city limits you can’t store an “inoperable” vehicle on public or private property. (Inoperable can be as small as not having plates, even if the car is fully operable) so it ended up being let it get towed and get stuck with the bill, or sell it. Nobody wanted to buy the basket case, roller but otherwise together. Had no choice but to sell it to a scrapper for $200. Still makes my blood boil

calling the W58 manual "glass" is a bit misleading. sure with any "powah builds" you wanna replace it. But we have to remember that when we're talking power builds with a 2j, that automatically means like 600HP. You can safely run 350HP on the W58. Over 400HP is where you start to run into issues. I'd say a trans that can hold a cool 150HP over stock is not bad. that is plenty of headroom for a sub-15psi NA-T build.

Just because a car cost less doesn't make it a better car. The Supra is the better car. It had a better gearbox, better brakes, was overall more performance orientated, and although styling is subjective, most people would agree it looks better. These reasons alone, the Supra will always cost more, but that's doesn't mean the Super isn't the better car.

Generally yes and but in part -no. The extra wheel base(plus a more compliant suspension) of the sc300/400 and soarer mean they don't suffer the axle tramp/loss of traction at the drag strip like the Supras can. The frame around the windows , plus no rear hatch, also mean that they are less rattley than supras. Back seat is pointless in the supra. In terms of SC looks, it is really only the separate high beam headlights that spoil it for me. the rest is awesome,especially if you have the front lip and rear spoiler.. And yes, the drive experience is very similar between the two cars, which is no surprise given the chassis and suspension etc.
