scshinobi Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 hey guys i just bought a 1999 lexus sc300 it drives and looks great! im considering doing some modifications to help fuel economy and at the same time give it some more bang i was wondering what a good cold air intake for the sc300 would be ive been looking around dont see many but i was just thinking i could buy one for the is300 since they have the same motor. Also would exhaust down pipe and headers make a big difference in mpg and what are some good brands i was looking into greddy? planing on changing the oil to a good synthetic any good specific brands?sorry for all the questions ill have some pics of the ride hopefully tomorrow btw im in WA and would love to go to some lexus meets if you lexus owners in WA have one organized please let me know
scshinobi Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 thanks here are some pics it was a rainy day in WA so sorry if they arent so clear. anyways im looking to just doing free or close to nothing mods first then move on to rims and acquire brakes for the car maybe a little tint and hids then move onto changing the interior lights and license plate lights to white leds any tips would be great hope you guys like the pics (btw im working on geting a new camera) oh and i found angel eyes 6000k hid for the sc300 ive never heard of angel eyes being produced for them they go around the outer high beam and a bulb in the day light if any one has them if you wouldnt mind please posting pictures http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc156/s...bi/CIMG0481.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc156/s...bi/CIMG0500.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc156/s...bi/CIMG0488.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc156/s...bi/CIMG0487.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc156/s...bi/CIMG0482.jpg http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc156/s...bi/CIMG0479.jpg
scshinobi Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 was wondering only one tire spins when traction is lost but both wheel get power when they have traction?
UCF3 Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 welcome to the club. Love the colour. THe SC3 is an open diffy car so one will spin. My 5speed came with a 1.0diffy. BTW don't think you'll be able to get better fuel economy without the stock setup. new intake will add 2-4 HP but it will change the air/fuel mixture. I'd suggest keeping the Integra stock and use it as your daily commuter. Got anymore pics of your Angel Eyes.
scshinobi Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 aww man no fun i was thinking of welding the diff if it was open but that would be horrible for dd the teg is actually my friends the sc is my dd my parents have a camry and 4 runner which both get worse im planing on working out a carpool deal where i drive to school w/ a buddy one day and he takes me the other. i was planing on geting out on the track with the sc see how it drifts but since its open im gonna need to save for a 2 way. sorry to disapoint you but no halos i bought a compustar alarm w/ remote start instead im planing on saving up for tint next then go onto lights(hid) maybe halos and rims. thanks for the feedback and help guys!
scshinobi Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 :( after finally going to auto zone to get my car checked because my engine check light would come on every other day and turn off shortly after i found out i need a transmission fluid temperature sensor was wondering are these expensive and how hard is installation if its not to hard i wont spend a fortune at the lexus dealership
