  1. oh man thats what happ to me!!!!! So rebuilding it wont hurt anything right? I do have a lead foot so I didnt know if I should just go ahead and get the new core to handle my driving... What about the starter? It went out too... any hints? Thanks juancho
  2. although i am known to be a bit accident prone and have some bad luck... listen to this... i bought a 93 sc300 from my friends mom. Perfect condition since she bought a sl500 a year and a half earlier and was a total house mom that never drove. ( i know her well, nice lady) Well, the car sat in a warehouse the whole time and maybe that contributed to these problems but whatever i dont know. After having the car about a month or so i noticed a small leak of oil in the engine bay. This ussually happens when the car is run hard. That made me think that my friend had a little more time in the car than he let on. Whatever no biggie. Well it turns out that the leak was large enough to short out my alternator. Then at the same time my starter went out.... go figure. Dont know of thats related at all but just letting you know. Watch out for those leaks!!!! it was a valve cover seal that was leaaking by the way... In any case, the car is worht the trouble. I love it juancho
  3. 1.)95 mitsubishi eclipse GSX- can we say all wheel drive! chipped, boost at 20lbs, kept most V8's in the rear window... stolen, never found 2.)92 acura integra GS-R- comptech headers, exhaust, pulleys, cams, bored to 1.8, turbo at 8psi, unstoppable by anyone short of a vette, wrecked of a country road in GA, nothing salvaged... miss it dearly 3.)2000 Toyota Celica - 180 hp, VVTi is not V-tec... far from it, biggest piece of poo.... wrecked, nothing worked, toyota paid me to shut up about it and the insurance paid me to shut up about scars it left... glad its gone 4.)2000 Honda civic EX- the best go-cart ever... in a good way... Eibach sportline, apexi full cat back, AEM fuel mgmt, and a greddy turbo at 12lbs on stock internals. Kept up with M3's. Too bad that old !Removed! cuban lady with a van with no insurance had to hit me and total it... "calm down juan" 5)2001 mitsubishi eclipse GT- not a bad car, very torquey,greddy evoII, eibach sportline, cams and pulleys... would have superchg'd it if my current fiance didnt want it... then took it.... "crying"....i have no huevos anymore...."crying more"... but i still love you babe...
  4. just bought a 93 sc300, lt green with tan interior,all options (including the damn 250$ alarm key, which i am too cheap to get a copy of...lol) auto, 93K miles, 2nd owner (got lucky there), never wrecked (except for the rock that fell off a dumpster truck and scraped my front end the day i got it), interior is perfect except for steering wheel which is a little faded from the miami sun, and a rather odd stain on the passenger seat.... dont want to know. Everything is completely stock just as if it came from right off the lot. the only problem ive got is that my passenger window goes down but not up, my starter went out and then after my alternator went out.... sucks for me. So now ive got a beautiful non-driving lexus. great huh? happen to anyone else? Anyone know where i can get the best parts for the best price? Still broken down and hurting....Thanks Juancho
  5. hello, i just bought my sc300 about 6 mths ago from my friends mom and im loving the car. My only irke is that coming from a line of past DSM's, integra, civic, and a celica, my affiction for a manual transmission should be clear. I was wondering if it would be worth swithing the tranny out of my sc and if there is any 6spd's out that anyone would know about? Maybe HKS or even TRD? I would be in heaven if someone told me that there is a kit that lets the tremec T-56 bolt on, to handle all the future horespower... Or if maybe just upgrading the torque conv or a shift kit for the old 4 sp auto would be better. Oh and if anyone has a clue about pricing, that would be wonderful considering i now have a fiance with a copy of my credit cards...ouch. Thanks a mil juancho
