Chris's Lexus SC300 Competition Drift Build

[Chris Taylor]

June 14. 2011

Ok sorry for the late update... Fuck after dealing with all of lifes little problems I got back to my hobbies problem. After some board prodding and FSM searching I found the problem to be the anti theft module had cut switching ground to the starter and wouldn't recognize my master key so it just stays active until I buy a new module or a new master key and get everything re-keyed (according to the dealership but I know better ;] ) or you take the ghetto route and just ground the starter wire on the other side of the relay from the junction box lol

So the car is running after this menagerie of testing poking and prodding to find shorts or opens in the harness.





So it runs now but I cant drive it because of all the other BS. Cut Springs, and a nice once over to double check the maintenance and the inspection that was supposedly done on the car. And little things that should be done and need to be done. Meanwhile pics.

Those Blacked out headlights gotta go! New ones incomming...



New Tires and wheels... This is what rubbing on cut springs for less than 5 miles will do on old tires lol



New Power Steering Pump and Relocate the reservoir for future Tubs and Swap (its leaking)



The Interior is sortafresh but some of it has to go...



Especially the dash... Black or Flocked Black and some Nardi Deep Corn goodness... Maybe even a D-Max VIP tray for some booji Baller Drifts while im sippin somethin lol J/K

Nice build man, looking forward to seeing this complete and maybe itll convince me to build mine one day lol, lmk if u decide to trash or sell some of the interior pieces that you won't need.

very nice choice for drift car should be unique here, good luck with the build

[Chris Taylor]

Small Update and Pics coming soon. I should have some Stance GR+ coilovers pretty soon and I think while im putting in some work tomorrow I will be modifying my other set of stock headlights to get rid of those crappy broken ones. So stay tuned for some baller LED/HID SC300 Headlights.

(Correction... I cant find my LED box so I ordered a whole bunch again so maybe ill do my tail lights too lol)

I got my Stance GR+ with Swift Springs. Big up to Ben for supplying! I only put on the fronts as of last night and I am dialing them in. Stances are actually pretty baller. I will rep them now any time someone asks. They make my Jalopy actually feel like a car hahaha

Pics or it didnt happen!





Now all I have to do is get the rears and hopefully this deal goes through with these Ikeya Formula Arms and Links... 1 full set for super cheap!

Ben's SC is already going down the same path as his truck 240...

congrats on the purchase! any ideas on wheels yet?

[Chris Taylor]

Yeah Ill be buying his WEDS SA55-ms for some daily Wheels in a few weeks and I might get them Chrome or TI dipped. But for my baller wheels Kranse Vishnus 18x10 F 18x11R... I think I might just start collecting shoes when the car is done lol.

what aero are you doing? we had 12j's on the fron of martins car with Vertex Ridge, and it barely filled the wheel wells. the rear needed a 50mm spacer on Forrest's 12j Meisters to be flush with that aero... you guys have huge wheel wells.

the weds might fit for stock body though like you're saying. those are nice wheels

[Chris Taylor]

Right now and till my driving gets on point Ill be using the knockoff Vertex Aero. At some point I have Missile overfenders coming in and I need some new front fenders. Ideally if I can ever get a hold of BN Sports USA lol Id like to try to pick up that Blister Kit they have but Im not holding my breath lol Yeah the wheel wells are spacious just like Supras hahaha I like having wide track anyway lol

[Chris Taylor]

Damn... Im really moving in slow motion... Well nothing but updates coming really fast. Im stripping my interior out I ordered a flocking kit. That should be here in a week or so...



The top brown area will be flocked black while the woodgrain will be painted satin black. The middle tan dash area will also be flocked black. The bottom covers as well as the Radio/Shifter Bezel will be satin black. With the bottom part flocked black. Ill do a write up and pictures as soon as it gets here. I decided to flock it to reduce glare and have it match my Suede Nardi Deep Corn.

Other updates coming... 25mm D-Max front fenders, Roll Cage and some other odds and ends...

[Chris Taylor]

Im going to copy the remainder of my Club Lexus build on here to keep yall up to date but Ill do that tonight... Lots of updates coming... Ive been busy the last week or so...

Who knew I sucked so bad a painting... D: even if it was rattle canned...hahahah Anyway mini update until the shop opens up... I tried my hand at painting some interior parts satin black out of a rattle can... I imagine you know how these turned out so If you have these pieces in black Id like to buy em from you in case the project/plan falls through. (The plan being to put a million coats on it and then wet sand and buff it out...!)

Anyway this is going to be all of the interior that I will be keeping in the car:

* Top half of the dash
* Center console
* Center console garnish
* Steering column covers
* Glove box
* Armrest box and all garnish in between lol

This basically...


Here's the half-way point of the wood grain and some other bits being primered... WARNING: I SUCK AT THIS so there probably wont be a DIY lol





Ill probably show the finished product in like 7 days or so and in between ill show yall and maybe do a DIY for flocking dashes if I dont **** that up too lol

The kind of cool update is coming later on in the afternoon! Catch yall later!

Just a little dash teaser... It came out so good... I cant wait until I finish the last few pieces and the cage is done so I can put it in. I might just have a show quality drift car lol



This is pretty much up to date except for the car getting caged and what not... That will be coming next month...
