SCoupe

It is a cold air intake system, you make it yourself. See this link: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~irwige/BFI1.htm Always worth a read for its stunning insight to the vehicles. http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html#023

No, they are absolutely not six inch unless the '92 is a unique run. As I type this my 1994 SC300 seat cushions and speaker trim deck are out of my car and I can walk into the garage and stare at the 4" factory component speakers. I am installing new component speakers (6-1/4") this week and will have to do major fabrication to get them to fit. Two weeks ago I was in a salvage yard (TAP in Sacramento). I saw the remains of as least six different SC300-400, all had the exact same rear deck speaker cuts as my 4". So I'll respectfully disagree with AWJ, who I would refer to as the oracle of this forum on these things 99% of the time.

I say this tongue and check, but you should get your @ss back out there and finish the job, you will be glad you did. There is another level you have not yet tapped. You did not quite get to the stage of "Half-@ss BFI". At best you got to one third. You have eliminated the ridiculously small intake snorkel that feeds cold sucked from under the headlight. Your new conversion now sucks hot air directly from the engine compartment without the restriction of the snorkel. The real (Big Freaken Intake) is a huge air scoop literally ramming cold air from the leading edge of the fender at presumably high pressure directly to the air filter/intake. This is the essence of BFI and what the other two steps involve. Hats off to you for getting this started! I am amazed more people are not on to this, though it is not all that easy.

AaronE, That is a great site you refer to. Can you help with a couple of questions. First: What are they saying when it says "1) Pry center insert from door open cavity." ?That looks like something I am going to break or smash somehow. Second: Have you mounted a replacement speaker in that location, (model and size)? How much fabrication was involved if you went with a bigger size? B)

That spoiler lip thing was buggin me to. I liked it and I wanted one. I was able to locate a lip for my SC300 at a salvage yard. The sales guy quoted me $150 for the part. I asked to see it with the worker called a "puller" who takes the parts off. It was from a front end damaged SC400. You can well imagine that the lip spoiler was pretzeled up along with it. Remember, we are talking about super heavy duty, high quality plastic. I looked carefully at the lip, there were no cracks, tears or punctures. Worth taking a chance that with a heat gun, summer sun, and bolting it to a perfect bumper this might be at least worth a try at the right price. Armed with this knowledge, I returned with the puller to the sales guy and discussed a new price for a damaged (vs perfect/excellent/good) part. We agreed on an "as-is" price of $50. I was able to mount this to my SC and it looks factory. It was difficult for me to get it right, but I did. No one would know that this was a front end salvage part. THE NITTY GRITTY: I found this is not a simple 5 bolts, you mount the lip deal. There are also left and right side specific aluminum brackets, set of two per each side that connect together through the THREE HOLES YOU WILL DRILL through each side of your existing bumper (actually there should have been four holes, but that last one *BLEEP*ed me off so much that I cut the bracket so that I needed only three). Again, you will drill a total of six holes in your bumper to mount the way it is done by the factory. No one ever sees this, but they are there. The "puller guy" saved my @ss. I knew as I watched the lip come off the car that there were a bunch of brackets in use and they where beyond repair. I suggested and he agreed that we raid an other SC that had no front-end damage and pulled all the brackets, the bolts and the nuts that are so vital to getting this lip on your car to look factory. I'll revise vital to mandatory. Make sure that you get every bolt and nut; each one was crucial. I am not sure that I could get this sort of deal again anywhere. But the original $100-150 would have been a good deal for this stuff. The salvage guys all have a amazingly thorough dealer pricing guide for all these parts and I know for sure that your dlr price at ~$900 was very close to what this book had. There was some grumbling around the counter between some other sales guys as to why I was getting this so cheap. Good luck, happy hunting if you pursue this. Rarely is anything as easy at it seems.

In my 93 SC3 manual, right after it says "Remove the throttle body", tells you to "See page FI-46" on how to do it. Page FI-46 states in bold capital letters: 'DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT". Having said this, I'm begging to hear that is not necessary from someone who has done this, before I go launching into my own vehicle. Also, regarding the bypass, can someone explain the upside to bypassing and connecting them up? Is this mod worth making/any negative side effects? Just wondering about this, not challenging anyone. Thanks. B)

You might try this recycler for such a part, they specialize in Toyoto and Lexus. They ship anywhere: http://www.taprecycling.com/ I've used them for some parts, it is possible to save quite a bit of money.

Your question is directly answered in the forum section under the title: "Subwoofer Replacement" Per member dannycwu: I just purchased a 10" free air sub from Pioneer model TS-W254F and to my dismay it doesn't drop-in fit the old subwoofer enclosure. Does anyone out there know of a brand/model that does? Thanks.

I completed a BFI on my 94 SC300-5sp after seeing the extraordinary posts at planetsoarer.com. I've had it for about two weeks. There is an added urgency about the engine above 50+mph; above 70 it is noticeable and gets your attention. It begs to be wound out. The mod requires a little patience and knowing when something looks right, its all your fabrication and attention to detail. I would recommend this work to anyone with a little know how. Little doubt that this is among the best inexpensive mods you can do for an SC. When you see the little snokle that is the filter intake you will shake your head in amazement. It is barely the size of one of the twin exhuasts. How this engine could suck enough air at high RPM's, you got me.
