  1. you mean freon? How would that fix the heat? ← I also ran the diagnostic and it came back with a 00.

  3. I agree the rears feel softer than the fronts. I have GT's in the front. Maybe after christmas I'll get AVS's in the front as well. But I am definitely happy with them so far.
  4. Ok so when I bought the car, the AC barely cooled. It would cool in the morning but after sitting in the Texas sun all day, it would not cool at all on the evening drive. I was told I would have to replace the evaporator. I didn't since winter was just around the corner. So today it was in the 50's in the morning and the heat won't work either?! The fan works fine...what could it be?
  5. I had the exact same problem last week. But with me, when the car finally died it would not turn over even. And the electrical stuff didn't work. I had to replace the alternator ($400) and now its fine.
  6. Nice...I have to try that. I know its on but I never attempted a call. You're in Houston too? Do you know any other SC owners in Houston? We should get a mini meet together sometime
  7. I have a car phone in my arm rest. Does anyone else have it, and if so, have you activated it? Its old so I am guessing an analog signal with Verizon would work.
  8. I went in for a tranmission flush and fill and my mechanic advised me against it. He said the fluid had been in there so long that it had residue in it. He felt that if we put new fluid in there, it might break the transmission. So he just took the fluid out, took out the residue and put it back in. What do u guys say? How much would a used transmission cost?
  9. I just got two new Yokohama AVS ES100's 245/45/16's for the rear. Set me back by $250 so I was going to wait before changing out the front Goodyear 225/55/16 Eagle's. It does kinda feel funny coz the rear ones are wider but not funny enough to warrant another couple hundred. The front ones still have a lot of tread on them. I am hoping I'll be fine.
  10. awesome! I researched the site and found similar threads. The local Toyota dealership carries Type T-IV and its $3 bucks a quart. When I put it into D, the car shudders...also feel the transmission slipping a bit when slowing down. Would flushing the system help or is drain and fill fine? I have 135K on the car and no prior service history. Thanks
  11. I wanted to change the transmission fluid but no one seems to have the T Type 2 fluid marked on the stick. They say Dexon 3 would be fine. Is that true? The manual says T type 2 as well but I can't find it.
  12. Thanks a lot for the replies guys. Fortunately since I had this post, I have not had this problem. The car was sitting in direct Houston, TX sunlight where temp inside the vehicle is over 100F. Not checked the other stuff. I do rev the engine once every time I start it and it has never happened again.
  13. I go to BMW meets with my X5 but since I recently got a 1992 SC400 I was checking in to see if there are owners on this board from Houston. It would be great to connect and check out our cars, network etc
  14. This has happened 3 times in the last 3 days. I start the car and then 5 secs later it dies. Then I start it up again and rev it a bit and its fine...Indicator of future trouble? Any clues?
  15. I think the Nakamichi IS the premium sound system. Thats the upgrade. The other one is Pioneer.
