Those 95 LS400's are one of the most reliable and best cars to own around.... You should have very little problems, no rattles, etc... Strange that you experienced all these issues... Does it have a million miles on it... Maybe there is a little history on this car of yours that you are not aware of.... Possible salvage title maybe?

Reflection.....

Smoothe

Tight rope

Self centered.... The Vantage is nice looking and I just happen to see one the other day, but it does not look better then the Vanquish... Sean Connery cannot be touched you say, hmmmm?....Yeah I guess that's one good looking old *BLEEP* for sure... What about Rodger Moore? A Worthless 007 maybe?

GLUE Didn't know Brad Pitt is EWwwww... I always thought Pierce was a midget and skinny 007....The new 007 guy has more guts and muscles... Love the Austin Martins...WOW!!! That's my dream car.....

Check Ebay for headlight purchases....Once your old headlights are out do the cleaning process then re-sell them on Ebay...NO COST TO YOU...That's what I did and I got new looking headlights on my SC400 for nothing....

Brad Pitt....

Should still pass smog....

Sorry man, I've been on vacation with no internet access.... - Anyway all the exhaust mods are a great idea and you will notice power gains with each change.... - The ECU piggy back will tune the motor and give you another 10hp or so... - Supra Control arms are a good idea if your stock ones are bad and you enjoy responsive steering and handling... - The Electric fans I do not recommend, alot of custom work, and unless you are planning to turbo charge and need the extra space I would not attempt that mod.... That mod may also throw off your smog checks as it messes with your ECU a bit... - I would only consider the Torsen Supra LSD after you get the Torque converter upgrade...After all the only way you are going to get those rear tires to spin is with a torque converter and or boost or Nitrous.. So why spend the money for traction that you don't need... Even with the torque converter you may not want to consider an LSD, because you won't be unleashing the rears with just a torque converter, but you will get some brief and minor burnouts.... Not so sure the LSD will make that much of a difference with the power output you are shooting for.. Lastly I definetely recommend the Coilovers...That will transform your luxury car into a true sportscar... It's a good change for suspension and handling, and the good thing about the coilovers is that most are adjustable but unfortunately very expensive...

WOW, you guys went to town....I'm gone for a few days and the posts really accumulate...Impressive!!!! Brad Pitt (I am not usually a good judge of men but that is all I could think of) It was either the last 007 (James Bond) Pierce B...or Brad "I would hate to smell your arm" Pitt....

That's funny..... Look at the bright side atleast you were getting good gas mileage :chairshot:

I am at 210WHP without the nos and 300whp with nos.... WHP is different then HP or BHP... My torque numbers are what really increased, and torque wins races.... I would say your 97 SC400 in stock form would probably dyno now at 185whp and or 250bhp if your lucky. Remember the car loses power over the years so it will not dyno like new as advertised when it was first rolled off the assembly block...Electrical, and other stuff, etc.. wears out and you lose some horse power over the years... With headers you can kiss your smog checks good bye... The rest of the exhaust mods, highflowing cats, mufflers, and larger exhaust piping will still allow you too pass smog... Headers mess with the O2 sensor reads and throws the check engine light... With the S&S Headers I cannot pass smog.. With nos you can pass smog, and with a supercharger I dought you will pass smog, but I am not %100 sure... Depends on the supercharger, tuning and how it set up... I have never seen a custom turbo on a Lexus pass smog either... Exhaust mods (except headers), torque converter, and intake mods will not effect your smogs...

Sounds good, for some reason the forum wont let me PM you, keep getting an Error message... ?? anyway I plan on doing everything with the intake/electronic upgrades/all the exhaust upgrades/ torque converter/ piggy back/maybe beefed up trans if needed... then go from there... what is your current HP & torque on your car up to date with out Nos? How much gain could I expect to get after those mods? I think my 97 SC4 stock has i think 260hp & 270 tq, so could I gain an extra 50hp or more & if more how much roughly? and is your car still able to pass smog or do you have a hook up? Also do you plan on going Turbo or SC? just curious, If I decided to get a bodykit (Auto Couture) do you have a paint shop that you would recommend going to? and would it be best just to paint the whole car, so it wouldnt be new paint on kit and 10 yr old paint on car? and how much would that run? ... Thanks in advance!!!!! =) sorry for all the questions..... Well, "JC auto paint" re-did my paint job for $1000 and that included removing dents and dings..A real professional paint job no orange peal and a dealer like paint job look that has lasted... They are located in Near Down Town LA.. I need to find there number it's been years since my paint work... For your electronic upgrades and ECU piggy and tuning you can go to "Spark Racing" 562-691-4779... Headers and exhaust I know of two places one hear in Santa Monica on Lincoln Blvd and in Down Town LA.. Again I need to find the numbers for you if you're interested... Aside from all that my car puts out a little over 350bhp and around 500 foot pounds of Torque, but I really wouldn't recommend going with the NOS...It does wear out the engine prematurely and breaks parts under the jolt... I would recomment going with an M90 Eaton supercharger kit especially made to fit the SC400's...I recently saw one complete kit for $1500 on Ebay and that included EVERYTHING except installation and tuning... Those little M90 Eatons produce 100hp once installed and that is something your stock parts and tranny can handle with no problem... I would go that rought if I were you... Infact, I almost considered buying that Ebay M90 for $1500 and then keeping my NOS in addition but I am pretty much set on turbo charging at this point for more power.... I hope this info help.... I have a real informative thread on this website called "result of mods" just use the search function and read...You will get more ideas on what you want to do off that thread...
