Ken92SC Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I am the proud owner of a '92 SC400 (Onyx black, gray interior, custom wheels). I have had it for nearly two years and it now has just over 125,000 miles. I bought this car because every bit of research I did, led me to believe it would perform for many more miles. I am delighted with my purchase. While reasearching, I cam across this Web Site and found it to be very informative - filled with information I can use to enhance my SC400 experience. I may not be considered the typical SC400 driver. Just like my "older" SC, I may be older than many who post on this site. I just turned 60 - going on 30 something. At 60 I don't consider myself elderly just as I don't consider my '92 SC older. Together we shock the socks off many unsuspecting and often younger drivers. I love the quiet agressiveness of the SC and I am now ready for some mods. I agree with many posts from JIBBBy and others that the stock SC are a bit sluggish from 0 - 30. JIBBBY amused me by saying the stock transmission/torque converters are set so that elderly drivers don't shock themselvers, snap their heads or spill their coffee. With these thoughts in mind, I am ready to take my chances. I intend to upgrade the torque converter first and move on from there. I live north of Chicago, Illinois and I am wondering if anyone can recommend a transmission shop in this area. Should I use the Precisiion Dragon Torque converter? Unfortunately the driver seat also has a tear. Is leatherseats.com still a wise choice for replacements? I look forward to any responses to this post.

schott1984 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I would also like to know if it's worth it to get the Dragon over the lextreme rebuilds. Also, what stall. And I am in Rockford IL, and also wonder about a trans shop in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con-Master Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Unfortunately the driver seat also has a tear. Is leatherseats.com still a wise choice for replacements?I look forward to any responses to this post. I have purchased a leather steering wheel wrap and a leather ebrake boot from this company and i must say i am VERY satisfied with the product. They will even email you and let you know the exact match for the stock color. I would highly recommend this company for any leather products.

mikson Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I know what ken is talking about! I am 43 and feel as if I am an "elder statesman" on this site! :) I just travelled from Cincy to Downers Grove to pickup my SC400. Had a great time driving back. Good luck on the mods and let us know how they went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkgable143 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm 52 years young and on the freeway on the way home from work I have a tendency to jump on a lil. There is this eclipes that aways wants to race, most of the time I let it slide. One day I just smoked him. I think he has respect for the 400 now.
