Nightlight | The High Road

Night Import: Photography and Words by Jim Davis

---

In my eyes, all cars have a soul. They all have certain quirks and defects that tell a story. If all cars could talk, I am sure they would have interesting stories to tell us - how they got their first dent, where they have been, what they've seen, and who has owned and driven them. As gear-heads we all love what we drive in some way, we all have that passion that connects us to our inanimate objects with wheels.

Nightlight | 2JZ SC

You go to a car show and see a car with a motor that surprises everyone.
Matter of fact, even before the car show starts, you can hear the Turbo spooling up at a distance and your head automatically turns to the direction of the sound.
That's when you see a sexy black SC on Iforged wheels rolling in and getting the spotlight.

One of my good friends, Kain, introduced me to today's featured SC, owned by James Nguyen, couple of days ago before ID Auto Festival.
He asked if we were interested in featuring a SC and seeing so many these days, I had to ask what was so special about the car. Right when he said "2JZ", I didn't hesitate to say Yes.

Flush SC400

If you guys remember, I met up with Milt to do a coverage photoshoot.
His friend came along, who is the owner of today's feature car.
Let me introduce you to Mustafa.



I've seen Mustafa's car since the beginning of my interest in hellaflush cars.



I remember taking this pic during the caravan to the hellaflush event.
Mustafa's the guy at the left.

Anyways, back to the coverage content.

This Lexus SC is unique out of all the ones in SoCal.
If you're asking why, check out the wheels.
Racing Harts CR, which are discontinued.



You don't see a lot of cars rocking these wheels because they are hard to come across. Also, check out the stance.
One of the sickest out of all the SC's that aren't on air.



Offsets are +1F and -3R. He's planning to add bigger spacers, so - offsets all around.

Wheels/Suspension
19" Racing Hart type CR
19x9 & 19x10 (215/35/19 fronts 225/35/19 rears)
Megan Coilovers

The mods are very simple and on point. Notice that Mustafa's focusing on the stance first. More mods to come in the future.







Money shot!!



By the way, Mustafa is also reppin Low N Slow with Milt, so you can't miss him at events. Awesome guy to talk to so make sure you check out his ride and say sup.
