The first time I saw Oliver’s Lexus SC, I was in front of Bridge Auto Parts Store under the hood of my EVO changing out a vacuum line when I heard a car roll up in the parking space next to mine. I was so involved with what I was doing that even though I heard a car with a deep hum pull up, I didn’t bother to take a look. It was just like being in one of those car commercials where, as soon as I close my hood, my eyes quickly caught notice of what was next to me, and right then and there my jaw dropped.
A few moments later, my homie Oliver comes out and I found out that he had gotten rid of his Miata (which was also a serious head-turner) for this black beauty. I was just floored by how clean his SC is. This car is the definition of SLAMMIN. Stance…CHECK. Fitment….CHECK. Ultra-Rare Volks…..CHECK. We chat for a bit, and then head out. Once we rolled out of the parking lot, I hear the sweet sound of spool. Boost…..CHECK.
Oliver is no stranger to the car life. This is his second SC. His first build was cut short because of additions to his family which found him trading in his two door Lex for a family-ready Suburban. Not too long after, the bug bit again, and he ended up getting into Miatas. His second being a 99 all-black Miata that was slammed and poked. When he decided that there was some unfinished business with Lexus, and he got rid of his Miata for this SC, everyone hated him for doing it because at the time, the Lex looked like crap (his own words, lol). For a time, even he was second-guessing his decision, but he stuck with his plans, and now his hard work is finally paying off. Although Oliver will point out that it is still a work in progress, his daily-driven SCupra (thanks to the JDM 1JZ single turbo conversion) is now widely appreciated by many. It’s no surprise why, the amount of attention to detail speaks volumes.
Big Thanks to Oliver for letting us feature his SCupra! Check out the pics and details. Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom for the gallery with additional pictures from the shoot!
Part of making this car extremely unique and beautiful is the shoes you see before you. The rims are limited production Formula Zero Blue also called F-Zero. These rims are so rare and exclusive that Edo here at SNTRL at first mentioned to me that these rims may have been powdercoated, but Oliver broke it down for us. There is believed to be only about 5 sets in the world in this color and only 2 are CE’s as far as Oliver is aware of, with the only other one being a 16″ wheel.
Volk F-Zero 19″x9.5/10.5+12 all around
Kumho 225/35 fronts 235/35 rears
We decided to take a ride down to Chinatown, NYC and grab some bubble tea while doing the shoot.
