  1. I'm going to get the Tein SS. I heard they have a decent ride without having to spend a lot. I have a question. Hows the drop and ride quality on the eibach with stock shocks? Also, is it a even drop or does the rear look lower than the fron. Please post pics if you have any? thanx
  2. Mrfeb14, Your not going to find a working 12 disc changer for your car, Fujitsu made the changers and they are junk to begin with and no one repairs them. If you want a replacement changer let me know, You need to upgrade to a 96 ES 6 disc changer it comes with the correct mounting brackets and is plug and play. ← I need the red cap over the freon refill valve in front of the engine compartment right when you open the hood.
  3. The memory seats still wont work with the drivers door open and the key turned on. The radio works great when surfing am channels and when a cd is in the changer. But when you switch it to fm mode it doesn't play anything. Its not the antenna because the radio shop checked that.
  4. Hey fellow owners, I have a 1997 ES300 with 70k and found out from a local radio shop that my radio needs to be replaced. The am,cd works but the fm channels do not. They said it was an internal problem. I dont know wheather to belive them or not but chances are that I might need one. Does anybody know where I can find one used for cheap besides ebay??? Is anybody willing to sell theres?????? Also, My memory seats don't function, no beep no nothing. My seats move in all directions manually but dont work with the memory button. Has anyone experinced this before? Can it be that my radio not working completely be the reason for the memory seats to fail. BTW. I bought the car like this so i dont know how long they both been broken. Any help PPPLLLEEAASEEEE.....
  5. I think borla makes some headers for the 400
  6. TEIN Basic gives you a pretty good ride and ofcourse more firmer than stock but over all good ride. The Basic can only be adjust height, the FLEX and CS can adjust height and Dampening. So Flex and CS is an excellent choice if u have the money, since you can a soft and lowered ride of your choice. Down side is that it cost alot. Most people would get the Basic since it cheaper and ride quality is fine. You also could get Tokico Illuminas Adj 5 set from the MKIV supra which fit perfect on our cars. It give you about a 2" drop front and 1.5" rear. Really slam your car and give u Dampening adjustable. I hope this help. Good luck ← Thanks for all the help. BTW, what does the dampening do for a vehicle?
  7. I'm going to buy some wheels and tires for my '93 SC400 but need some advise. I see where people use the Tokico and eibach combo and its great and all but I see it leaves a bigger gap in the front than it does in the rear. I'm gonna have 245/35/19front and 275/30/19 on the rear. I know I will have to roll the febders alittle but what suspension set up will leave the car looking level and not have too much gap between the front tires and fenders. I'm not looking to slam it or have driving issues, just want it looking nice and clean. It's going to be a daily driver so I want a comfortable ride if thats even possible. I've been searching this forum but I'm kinda getting mixed reviews on a couple of setups. BTW, hows the TEIN BASICS compare to FLEX or CS? Any suggestions would be appreciated?
  8. Well Guys I bought a remote start and keyless entry. I bought it from hifi buys and its a DEI 561R model. I hope this won't effect my vehicle in any way. Do you guys know about this particular brand.
  9. Cool..... Good info. I'm going to leave the windows down and lock the doors. After that I'll manually reach inside from the outside of the vehicle and try to open the door to see if it goes off. Anyway, the alrm won't go off if someone breaks the windows or hits the vehicle, but it will if someone opens any part of the car witout the key.
  10. Do you just arm it by hitting the lock button on the door itself before you exit the vehicle or on the key itself? Wonder if theres a way i can test it to see if it works.
  11. Hi, I'm just wondering if there is a stock alarm built in my 1993 SC400. If so, how does it go off(whens someone breaks a window; open the door etc). Another question I have is, Are there any problems known for SC400's installing an aftermarket remote start and alarm combo. Also, which brands are good and is bestbuys and circuit city a good place to install them.
  12. Wow thanx, So basically a coilover is a shock and spring put together. How much lower does it drop the vehicle or is it something you can adjust? also, whats the model name and wheres the best place to find them for a good price?
  13. Hi Sc Members, I have a interesting topic that I need some help on. I have a 1993 Sc400 stock, and want to start modding my vehicle. I have already purchased the tower strut bar(ebay), the wheels (Ruff racing 236 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear) and tires(falken GRB FK-451 245/19/35 front and 275/19/30 rear) . I'm not putting the wheels on until I do a lowering mod. My questions are: 1) Should I mix springs together to get that perfect look. I want to get the Eibach prokit for the rear which will lower it 1inch. I want the Espelir for the front which I think will lower it up to 2.14" or 55mm. The reason for this is, if I get the eibach all the way around the front, the front wheel gap looks bigger than the rear gap. 2)Should I replace my shocks all the way around since its never been changed. If so, which shocks ride the best for comfort. I see tokico is used alot on this forum but I just want to make sure it will work with the spring combinations. 3) Are there any other suggestions as to what other little mods or things I can do to help the look of the vehicle(Bodykits, Brake rotors,etc). I promise once I get finished I'm gonna post alot of before and after pics. I'm even thinking of doing a little mpeg video about it. Anyway, you guys are great as to alot of DIY and general info I found searching the forum. Thanks
  14. one more question. Is it a good idea to put the prestone antifree and distill water 50/50 mix in along with the existing coolant fluids in the tank.
  15. That sounds great. I will do it tonight for sure. Also, Where and what coolant should I buy and do I have to mix it with water or do anything special.
  16. Thansks for the replay. I visited the website and found another kit i might be interested in and its only half the price. Its called the Exclusive. Any body know anything about it.
  17. So I probably wont be able to tell the difference huh? I might just leave it stock then but then again I might end up doing it. I did a search on BFI in this forum and it gets very good credit. I read and saw on how to install the BFI. I'm just really not the handy type and I know this forum dislikes injen so i will probably do the exhaust unless you all recommend another intake. Is the magnaflow the way to go because I see alot of people do the borla exhaust.I know any exhaust will be louder but I really want to keep it on the quite side.
  18. Have you found the solution yet? I'm having the same problem. ← no not yet, but i'm going to fill up the coolant next week to see if that solves the problem. I'll report back when its done and let you know.
  19. Can anyone please help me out. I'm trying to find a Auto Couture body kit for my 1993 Sc400. Does anyone know where I can source one at and get the best price. Any feedback is deeply appreciated. P.S. how much do they normally run?
  20. Hey gang, I have a 1993 Sc400 with about 68k and all stock except for the strut tower bar under the the hood. I would like to gain some Hp but I really don't want to do anything extensive. I've been reading the forum and see that the typical intake and exhaust is the thing to do I guess. My question is..... Are there any other little mods i can do to gain some more hp. Also, what intake and exhaust are the best for a '93. I really don't like the exhaust to be loud. Just like it to have alittle HHMMMM to it. P.S. I've seen some intakes and exhaust systems on ebay. Should i stay away from them. Any info is really appreciated.
  21. Had my radiator changed in sept '04 and i see no coolant leaks nor smell any coolant in the engine compartment. My coolant resevoiur is about an inch from being filled to the top. Does it need to reach the very top of the line? ← I know in my car when I had the wrong mixture in it, the coolant would boil out of the top and into the coolant resivour. When the car is cool check the radiator itself and make sure its full, if its not put a mixture of 50/50 coolant and water into it. ← Alright, I'll try to fill it to the very top tomorrow. Thanx people.
