Anyone have the part number on that starter rebuild kit for the sc300?

I may need a new starter :cries: on my '93 SC300. Getting a clicking noise occasionally on startup. Going to check all connections today. If thats not the problem then I probably will need a starter. I checked out this sight http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/ipb/w...=F∂=Starter and found 2 types of rebuilt staters 1. Bosch for $104 with $75 core charge 2. Denso for $140 with $40 core charge Has anyone used either of these? Does anyone know the part numbers for the rebuild kit? Thnx

Interested in this piece and console cover-how much-Thanks 5773@msn.com

Did you try calling them, or did you just check their site-They are very helpful-give them a call if you haven't yet-Good Luck

As far as I know the reprogarmming of the ECU has no effect on shift point or any other transmission functions, For details contact www.jetchip.com

I don't think they do anything more then Jet does on their reprogarmming, and Jet charges under $500. I spoke to both of them and couldn't find a difference-I am about to have Jet do mine (SC300 2000)-Actually you can go through Summit and have the Jet programming done even cheaper.

A question, I have read that lowering an SC more then 1" makes proper wheel alignments difficult?

I have a 2000 SC300 that I am in the process of rerouting the snorkel intake from behind the bumper to the opening in the bumper just below the original loacation. I cut the end of the snorkel where it terminated behind the bumper and added some fabricated tubing and increasing the new inlet size to match the opening in the bumper. Seems like it should help bring "forced" cold air in.? Any thoughts on this mod?

So I had my front bumper of (2000 SC300) for some paint touchup. Decided to take a look at how the air intake worked. Well the intake snorkel terminates in back of the top part of the bumper. Seems to me that if I cut about 4" off the front of the snorkel, make a new bracket and add some tubing I can reposition the front of the snorkel to the slot in the bumper next to lower lights and get cold air forced thru the snorkel. Seems like an easy way to get some fresh air to the intake. Am I missing something. A few guys I have seen here have built these BFI boxes, they seem to be quite a bit of work compared to what I am going to do. Is there that much of difference in air intake?

I guess they do still make it-Here is asite that sells it. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/dotcoms/12ozgelglae2.html

While cleaning my car the other day and trying to get yellowing off lenses, after trying all the different pollishes and cleaners I had, I noticed a liitle product I had not used in years call "GEL-GLOSS" its a fibergalss, marble and acrylic cleaner. I thought I would give it try on those yellow lenses, and to my surprise it took the yellowing away and I didn't even have to rub hard, I dont know if they still make it but if anyone is interested I will post all the info I have. Good Luck.

There are several auto inspection companies that will do a full inspection on a car in most cities for under $100 including pictures and road test. I would highly recomend this service prior to buying a car you can not physically inspect yourself.

Yeh seats look a like and I think worse comes to worse I could interchange the covers, I just thought it would be easier to just swap backs and thought if someone knew that it would work would save me from experimenting only to find some small mounting difference.

I have an area on my driver side seat back that is rubbed against when entering and exiting car. This area is beginning to show signs of wear and cracking. My passenger side seat is pristine. I though maybe I could swap seat backs to sort of average out the wear. Does anyone know if the seat backs are interchangeable on a 2000 SC300?

HAMA--Thnx, that was a great link-I reset my ECU and now shifts much better. Thanks again.
