  1. It may not be a good idea to use the factory power wiring to power aftermarket amplifiers for a few reasons: 1. The factory wire isn't heavy enough gauge to supply a decent aftermarket amplifier with enough current to perform properly. This is especially true if the amplifier is going to be use to power subwoofers. 2. The factory amplifier is fused in the fuse box along with all of the other electronics in the vehicle. The bring about potential for electrical noise since all of the other electronics grab power directly from this location. Your best bet is to run a new power wire directly from the battery to the trunk. The SC snaps apart just as easy as a Camry so this task shouldn't be difficult with a few basic tools. I own a car audio/accessory super store so get in contact with me if you need some help.

  2. I use Amsoil 5w-30 synthetic in my 93 sc400. I use Amsoil synthetic differential fluid as well. The only major difference I notice is a slightly lower temperature hand than when I was using conventional oil. I dont think it makes much difference as long as you change the oil regularly. The only advantage may be that you can go longer in between oil changes with synthetic versus conventional oil. I change my oil every 5000 miles and my rear differential fluid every 50000 just to be on the safe side. My SC has 175,000 to date with no major mechanical repairs required. Knock on wood :D

  3. I have a 93 SC 400 with 175000 on the tach and my hood shocks are as good as they were at 50000. The only shocks that seem to have a mind of their own is the trunk shocks. Sometimes the lid stays up and other times it hits me in the head while I'm getting things out of my gym bag. Try these guys for parts on your coupe. Dealers wants $140 for each trunk shock. I've ordered the pair from TAP for $75!

  4. What you are seeing is probably the controls and indicators for a k40 system 2000. Check www.K40.com for details. I have this system in my 93 SC 400, 95 Acura Integra and 91 Acura NSX. The abosolute best radar detector I've ever used. I've been saved from going to jail for sure by using this system. If you like to drive fast then it is an absolute must to have installed on your machine.

  5. JUST BOUGHT MINE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAVE 174000 MILES ON MY 93 SC AND I AVERAGE ABOUT 17 IN THE CITY AND 23 ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT IS "NORMAL DRIVING" NOW WHEN YOU DECIDE TO PUT YOUR FOOT IN IT YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THE GAS NEEDLE MOVE! BUT IT SO SO MUCH FUN AND WELL WORTH THE EXTRA TRIPS TO THE GAS STATION. IF GAS MILEAGE IS YOUR CONCERN, BUY A 4 CYLINDER AS AN EVERYDAY DRIVER.

  6. I THINK THOSE PRICES ARE FAIR CONSIDERING WITH COST OF REPLACING THE HEADS IF THE TIMING BELT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. IF YOU ARE MECHANICALLY INCLINED, I RECOMMEND CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, CAPS AND ROTORS AND COILS YOURSELF. THEY ARE PRETTY EASY TO GET TO. I OWN A 93 SC400 WITH 173500 MILES ON IT. JUST A WEEK AGO MY CAR WAS SITTING AT IDLE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SPUTTER LIKE CRAZY. AFTER PLUGING IN MY DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE (LUCKILLY I OWN A HIGH PERFORMANCE AUTO SHOP) I DISCOVERED THAT THE IGNITION COIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE MOTOR HAD GONE BAD. THE PART COST ME $23 DOLLARS AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO CHANGE. WWW.RPMSUPERSTORE.COM
