sc400_texas Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 HEy guys, my dad has owned a 1996 SC400 since it was new, he is now getting an M5 and Im getting the lexus, I was just doing some research on the net about aftermarket products, SC 400 modds... not looking for anything thats gonna make me look to austentatious (WOW I SUCK AT SPELLING!) but any tips would be greatly appriciated... I would like my car to look like a mean euro machine, not a loud whiney exhaust, but a good deep, strong sound... not a jap ninja kit, but something that lets it sit low and look like its ready to pounce... so anyways, I will post some pics of it soon... mind you its all stock right now. Im not looking for a race track wonder, just something that seperates itself from the crowd and preforms well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Get a torque converter, ecu upgrade, open the intake and put a custom exhaust on it. A shot of nitrous oxide or save up for a future turbo, s/c project. Wald makes a nice body kit as well as AutoCouture, Bomex, ABflug, Phoenix, VIS, Do-luck, etc. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF3 Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I like what Do-luck's body kit. It looks very aggressive and EUro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Import_Boy Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Why euro???? Afterall, this IS a japenese car...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF3 Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Okay, Euro is a bad word. How about Aggressive and Ticket/Race worthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openingact Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 A good SC 400 ECU Upgrade? I haven't heard about that anywhere before, and thought I read everything. Can you add a couple more personal notes about it and/or where we might read more? Added with a TC, Intake and Exhaust, the ECU upgrade may be the ideal combination for my SC 400.

UCF3 Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I don't think the ECU can be modified and still be US Legal. It would have to be aftermarket, but don't quote me on that. The only one I might get is the TechII from TOM's. http://www.tomsracing.co.jp/index3.html. It can be modified on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 There are a lot of companies that do this. Weapon R has one as well as SRT - both have decent reviews. torque converter See the faq also for more links. I believe sound performance in Chicago can help also. ECU's: weapon-r WR-ECU Search lexus upgrade ecu's on google. Amazing. UCF3 has a good one too. If you live in a emissions state, just make sure it will pass smog checks or whatever. Good thing I don't need to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
