95_SC400

Good luck getting that fixed, hopefully wont cost too much. SK, Thanks for that info, i'll keep it in mind.

I have been searching for that part for 6 months now. Its called "lip" or "front valence/spoiler". the cheapest i've found it for is $400. Which is why i still dont have one. I've tried junkyards and even asked random SC owners to self theirs, but it seems to be a rare and expensive part. Let me know if you find one, i would really appreciate it. Good luck.

Sorry it didnt help with shifting, you must have something else wrong. You should notice a little better fuel economy though. Im not a mechanic or anything, but ive heard that some of these older cars eventually have problems with the shift solenoids. I dont know anything about them, but it might be worth a try to mention it to your mechanic. Good Luck with your car.

Thanks SK, i didnt know that. Any specific spots that it drys out? Will i notice anything if something does dry out? Thanks!

You're right, it mainly gets rid of carbon build up. I think it might fix your rough shifting because thats what i had through out all my gears. No gaurante, but its worth a try. I poured an entire can into gas tank, then 1/2 into crankcase (engine oil) and other half into vacuum lines by the tps. All you have to do is get some tubing (medical oxygen tubing or for aqauriums) and connect it to one of those branches, and stick the tube into the can and let it suck up the Seafoam, keep a high idle while doing this. These are the 3 main areas as were recomended on can and on website. If you didnt already, then check out the websites i posted earlier, they tell you all the details of what it does and all the how to's. Also watch that video, really explains the whole product and usage. Good Luck.

95_SC400, tell me more about this "seafoam". This is the first I've heard of it. I tried Googling it, but found multiple products under the brand name Seafoam. Which product did you use? What does it do? Where is it added/used? The product i used was called "Seafoam motor tune up". Seafoam has a line of many other products that also work for transmissions as well. This is the general site i found it from http://www.seafoamsales.com/products.htm the product i used myself is here: http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm That site explains where to pour , how much, and what each place contributes to the clean up. Im not home right now but as soon as i get home ill post a video that shows exactly how to use it. I explain it more thoroughly as soon as i get home. Here you go, check out this video, i think its pretty indepth. If you decide to buy it, i got mine online here: https://www.iboats.com/mall/?cart_id=232143...United%20States There are a few stores that sell it but really few and it cost more at the store last time i checked. Let me know if you still need more info or help. Good Luck with your new SC.

I think you should definately try it, it wont hurt at all. I decided to do it because after all my car is 11 years old. Im sure there was a bunch of build up over the years. I myself had aggressive shifting, ok idle , but i wanted less, and overall i just wanted to bring my car back to life and increase fuel economy. So after doing the Seafoam and cleaning my MAF sensor, right away I felt that the car was revving and driving A LOT easier, quieter, and smoother. I could tell that the car was alive again, i dont know how much horse power i gained but a couple definatly. As for your car starting up to slow, you might want to consider changing your sparks and wires. But try the seafoam and CRC MAF cleaner first. Let me know how it goes. Check out my video of the process (sorry for horrible quality) http://youtube.com/watch?v=mJs9UH4mHIQ If you need help finding or using the Seafoam just let me know ill post some pics of where to pour and how much. Good Luck.

Hey Guys, just wanted to let you all know that i finally got around to seafoaming my car today and i am VERY happy i did so. My idle dropped, my car shifts gears A LOT smoother, and overall the car is running qiueter and easier. Highly recomend doing it, especially on older SC's,its worth every penny. At the same time i also cleaned MAF sensor with CRC maf cleaner. Definately something every SC owner should do at least once.

To get to your trunk struts you have to bend back the carpeted wall. Its really simple, all you do is simply pull it back, its connected by clips so its no problem. You will see both your struts there one on each side. By the way, try checking ebay for those struts, i've seen them both for sale for pretty cheap. Good Luck.

I also think half might be ok but can you try putting a pic of half tinting the other half? By the way, i was also looking and might consider getting the bottom cleared. just like in this post: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...ic=1010&hl= About half tint on top half i will do and post but in a couple of hours. Thanks for everybodys feedback!

As far as i know and read on this forum that the stock shocks are KYB on rear and Tokico on front (or other way around). The Tokico's HP cost almost exactly the same as KYB but also drop the car an Inch.The KYB's, i've read are the closest thing to an oem ride. Let me know what you get and how it feels because im in need of changing my shocks, because mine are beginning to go out.

To those interested, I bought Seafoam online just last week and it will be here tomorrow. I bought mine here: https://www.iboats.com/mall/?cart_id=232143...United%20States As far as usage goes, here is a video on how Seafoam is recomended to be used. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=61...3&q=seafoam If you are looking to really clean your oil and sludge i would recomend Auto RX http://www.auto-rx.com/index.html

I am looking into having my tail lights tinted sometime soon even though it isnt legal I still want to do it. Help me decide which option looks best or if you like a style maybe a lighter shade.Thanks!

I am looking into changing my tranny mount in about 2 weeks and wanted to know 2 things. First, cheapest place to get it. Second, does anybody have any pics or at least a well detailed list of what i need and how to do it? Anything will be appreciated, Thanks!

What i did to clear my outsides was use an orbital waxer and scratch remover and just waxed each headlight for about 5-7 mins, They were clearer then i've ever seen, but unfortunately now i have to wax it again ever 2 months or so because a slight foggyness does come back. As for the inside, you can use an oven but that will just dry it out for that once. Next time you wash the car or it rains, you will have same exact thing. So the only thing to do is find and seal the hole.

Great question. I myself can not see a little bit of my actual headlight because my driver's side lense is soaked with water on the inside. What i have read and am going to try in 2 weeks when i have free time is basically take out the headlight and spray it with something like windex or any liquid with color or soapy water, anyway, so first you completely spray the entire housing top to bottom (after removing all lights and electronics), then use a fan to blow inside the housing and look for the hole or crack that is letting in the water. A lot of SC's have this problem because it is a factory defect. Once i try it I will post some pics with hopefully good results.

Hey, I think they would look really good on the SC, but i do agree with grnsc40095 they will be a bit annoying cleaning, I myslelf have 10 spoke rims and it takes a while to clean em. But since you clean your car that often it shouldnt be a problem. If i were you i would definately save up and get them. Definetly update us when/if you get em.

Thanks for replying. Everything you mentioned is brand new except alternator. I just ordered seafoam, so ill try cleaning out my system, hopefully its nothing more then just some dirt getting in the way. Ill let you know how that goes. Any other suggestions will be great, Thanks!

Also noticed tonight that my headlights and dash go dim while i tap the gas pedal. Any suggestions out there on what this could be?

Hey, I've recently been having some weird problems with my car. Everytime i tap the gas pedal and let it go, the rpms drop by about 100-150 rpm then come back up. So basically the car begins to move, stops and then moves again. It is like an aggressive jerk forward. Any ideas on what this could be? This happens in drive and when backing up, if that matters. I also noticed that my transmission has been changing gears some what hard aswell. Any suggestions for what to do or try? Thanks!
