Update:
The winter is almost over so the car is back for sale.
Please check out the last post for details.
What swap kit did you use?
I am using a modified Brett collins adapter plate, everything else is custom.
pictures as of before the winter
check out this swap in person, this v8 is a beast no turbo car cant compare , ultimate response monster
is that the stock lexus sc400 v8?
This ad should have “5-speed Manual” in the title… Awesome dude, didn’t know anyone in the area had a manual swap done on one of these.
^This. When I saw the thread I was hesitant to open it because I assumed auto. This is MUCH more desirable.
Thinking of it, yes you’re right. This is a very unique setup. Most people have to swap out the engine in order to get a 5 speed swap.
The response is indeed instantaneous on his car, probably due to the fact that it’s Naturally aspirated.
Love this car. Had like 4 sc’s all LHD and I remember converting mine to 5-speed. A very long and time consuming process so you cant just pick up 1k sc400 and a w5x tranny and think it will take you 5 days to do it. And this is the 97+ model so very beautiful. Sadly no one pays good money for these cars even if they are 5 speed. Never understood why. GLWS
True say
I love the car, if it was up to me alone, i would never sell it.
The main reason i am selling is because i need to get a 6 or 7 passemger car for my kids, the SC also does not have the sure latch car seat system (became standard after 2000) and securing and loading the baby seat is too much of a pain.
Wish i had the funds. Really wantes v8 sc in manual
