JEDIPETE

:cries: :cries: A little update on my car. I took my car to a pitiful body shop because some jerk hit and ran me at Wally World. Right behind the pass rear wheel not huge dent but it hurt my feelins. Anyway I had it repaired also had a couple of bad spots in the paint fixed while I was at it. Well I got it back and it looked great except for one spot at fron of pass door that had no previous problem. Took it back 3 more times. The last time I picked it up he did a *BLEEP* job of buffing out the paint and after I got down the road I noticed a big old crack in my sunroof. Someone was coming behind him and trashing his work after he did it. Never has been resovled to my satisfaction. After I got the sunroof replaced I have 3 SC's to gleen parts from. I had a ruff running engine. Turned out that it needed spark plugs and new wires. That cost me $575.00, They wanted $775.00 but I used to work with the GM at the dealer so he helped me out. NOw think about this for a minute. I could have gone out and bought Aircraft quality spark plug wire and new plugs for less than a 100 bucks. I didn't own shop manuals when I had this done, I bought some immeadiately afterward. I am a Helicopter Mechanic for a living. So fixing this car is not that big a deal to me. I also bought one flood car for the body panels and a wreck for the interior was gonna blend them together for a daily driver. However The wreck was bad enough to trash it all that way to the firewall ( this was not mentioned in the description ) Still gleaned a lot of good parts from it. Hell I have just about got it stripped to the frame. Just windows and engine/tranny left in it. Got crazy spare parts now. LOL. I do know this though. If you take your SC to a dealer you are going to get hurt real bad come check out time. Theywanted $125.00 to change the oil. The best Oil I can buy is only $40.00 a filter 7.50 maybe. So what are they doing wearing silk gloves and getting a NASA engineer to change my oil? Well more on this jewel later.

She heard lots of noises as well. ( it's a car) Other than all that it is an awesome car, When I take the O/D off and switch on power, it feels like a car on rails with a hole in the gas tank because I can see the needle move. LOL. This will be fun to restore & drive. Now for the questions. 1.Is it possible to buy a parts manual for the sc series? 2.Does anyone have a link/addy or phone to a person or place where I can find out the production data from the factory for the SC series from 92-2000? 3. What brand car cover would you recommend? That you have long term experience with for us garageless folks. 4. How many parts are interchangeable with a supra if any?
